2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 18G7. THE NEW YORK PIIE33. KDITORIAL OPINIONS OP THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. OOtrlLBD VRT PAT TOH KVBNIKO TKLKORAPB, Dur Hatloasal Itanks and thai Bank of KngUnd. fym the Jlerala. Mr. CliftHe, nl tbostn who assisted him in )ncoctiiig our system of national banks, h.id Ji riew, we suppose, several objects. The nrfnoipal were to eentral'e aiid give uni formity, or to establish a general and national system of banking to assist the Government iu time of need, as in s great war, such as we lately passed througs, and last, though not least, to create a 'ant political machine for partisan and individual purposes. The liank of England, and other great national banks, Imt chiefly the of England gave the idea, although none these institutions was taken as a model. Our old bulking system, which was autho rized by f several States, and rested in a measure pon the State-rights doctrine, was deemed defective, lacked uniformity, and was thought 10 longer suitable to the changed con dition of the country produced by the war. There were many defects doubtless in the old Eyntein as " the unsubstantial character of Uiany c'f the banks, in the facility afforded for starting what were called "wild-cat banks," and in the inconvenience and loss causod by h discount on bank notes of ono section or localty when they passed into another. Then the war, with the legislation of Congress during its existence and since it terminated, liaee swept away State-rights theories, and have centralized and nationalized tho institu tions of the country. A banking system, therefore, in conformity with this chango was considered necessary. We needed one, it was thought, that would be national and uniform in character. Besides, the capitalization of two thousand millions or more of the wealth of the country iu the form of the national debt, together with increased activity in the internal business of the country, required a larger amount of circulating medium, which could only lx properly and safely supplied them in tho form of currency by the general Gov ernment. The question was, then, how to supply the banking necessity of the time how to assist the Government, and promote the business in terests of the nation without creating on one band a dangerous monopoly, and to prevent on the other the Government being burdened with the management of banking affairs. With a view apparently to accomplish these objects, Congress established the national banks. The question was a new one to that body, and but little understood. Mr. Chase, when Secretary of the Treasury, worked up the system. He was aided by a party of bankers and capital ists who saw in it a rich mine of wealth for themselves. He doubtless saw in it also a vast political machine by which he might be car ried to the White House. The people in the meantime knew nothing of these motives, and were ignorant of the nature of what would be the operation and effects of the national banks. This bank system was a now thing to them, and not understanding it, they submitted quietly to its establishment. Thus it became fastened upon the country. These national banks are really nothing more than private associations, working for the profit of the stockholders alone, just the same as are any of our mining or manufactur ing companies; yet Congress has invested them with a national title and character, and has both built them up and sustained them upon its own credit. It does this, too, without de riving any profit or advantage whatever from their circulation or business, from loans or in any other financial way. The advantages are all on one side on the side of a few thousand Stockholders. As the authors of our national bank system Seemed to have in view the Bank of England When they formed it, let us compare one with the other. The Bank of England is also a pri vate association or corporation. Still it has an intimate connection with and renders very im portant services to the Government. In this it is unlike our national banks, which render 110 services to the Government. It has grown up to its present great power, wealth, and in fluence through a long period of existence, and through many changes and perils. It has be come adapted to British institutions, character, and mode of business. It would not be adapted to our institutions, habits of business, or social condition, and there is reason to doubt as to its being any longer useful, as at present con stituted and managed, in promoting the general welfare of the English people. Ono thing is certain, which is, that the financial and bank ing system ef (treat Britain, of which the Bank of England is the foundation and centre, has reduced the masses of the people to the point of starvation, while at the same time tho few have become enormously rich. Is it not evi dent, then, that there is something radically wrong at the bottom something which we, in this virgin and great country, ought to avoid ? Our national banks have in them all the evils and greater ones than those of the Bank of England, without any of tho advantages to the public. But the Bank of England has paid largely all through its existence for the privileges it enjoys. Parliament has never renewed its charter, often as this has lieen done, without demanding something in return. Payment has been obtained sometimes by hard money, but frequently through loans, either without interest or bearing a very low rate of interest. Then the Bank manages and pays the interest on the national debt, as well as managing the finances of the State tor a small compensation, and at much less cost than the Government could do that. In what way do our national banks earn their privileges or the least part of them f But the British Government derives a profit from the currency issued by the bank. We find it stated in the Pall Mall Gazette that the "net profit on the currency amounts to .270,000, of which 180,000 fall to the share of the Exchequer, and JCiMhOOO to that of tho iBank that is, the Government takes two- thirds of the profit. The same paper remarks that "tho measure of the gross profits on tho issue cannot bo any Other tlian the interest borne by the securities which are deposited in place of gold as secu rity for th bank notes issued up tq the amount 01 Aia,uuu,uut. ueyona mat amount every note must be represented by gold." At the rate the Bank of Englatid calculates the profit on a currency of about forty-five million dol lars, and reckoning the difference of interest on our securities deposited by tho national banks and that or the tiritish securities de posited by the Bank of England, the profit on the three hundred millions of national bank currency is at least twenty million dollars & year. Were the Government to take only the proportion the British Government takes, the amount going into the treasur nearly fourteen millions. would be Why, then, is this vast sum given away to the national banks ? Why, indeed, should not the whole amount of twenty millions or more 1o saved f Never was anything so absurd heard of iwforo. Never before did a Govern ment recklessly squander away such a vast sum. And bow easy it is to remedy the evil t All Congress lies to do is to withdraw the national bank currency, issue legal tenders in their place, and cancel the three hundred mil lions of interest-bearing bonds now deposited as security by the banks. TIip legal tenders would buy up these londs. That is how tho Government and people would get the profit on the currency, and how twenty millions a year could bo saved. The banks could do their business on local tenders. A law could be framed regulating the number of banks, the condition of their existence, and all about them, just as well as the present law regulates the national banks. We want no other con nection between the Government and banks. It does not suit us to follow the English in their banking system. We need something more simple and adapted to our own condi tion. But, at least, let us not do worse. Let us not perpetuate tho monstrous and danger ous national bank monopoly which takes away from the people twenty millions or more a year without the least consideration in return. Th Situation at the South. fom the 7me, A well-informed citizen of Virginia, thor oughly Southern in his principles and sympa thies, writes a private letter from Richmond, in which he ways: "With slight changes I would agroe to tho North Carolina plan as a basis of soillement. I wish our Legislature would at once propose amendments declaring the public debt, Invio late, and the Union perpetual. Our people believe there is nothing they can do that will disarm the malignity ol this Congress, and this feeling prevents uctton. I would myself ha willing to yield the representation founded on negroes, provided it would give us peace. We have great suffering, present and prospec tive. The policy of the dominant party tends to make perpetual enemies of a population who are perfectly contented to live quietly under the Government, and who only ask to be let alone." Our correspondent, we fear, does not mis calculate the tendency of the policy adopted by the House. Whether it result in the re construction of the Union or not, its imme diate effect must he to produce extreme irrita tion, and to alienate the good-will of nearly the entire white population of the South. The enactment of martial law would Ik- bad enough. But when to this is added tho over throw of existing civil authority, the univer sal enfranchisement of the blacks, and the all but universal disfranchisement of the whites, it is not difficult to foretell the temper to which the new state of things will give birth. Ad mitting, as we must, that the disposition, especially of tho authorities, is less friendly than it should be to the National Government, the proposed plans of reconstruction will cer tainly not effect an improvement. It may establish beyond peradventure the supremacy of the National Government everywhere, and infill things; it may insure the enforcement of laws now disregarded or defied, and may prevent the wrongs and outrages of which Generals Sheridan and Sickles have com plained; but the hearts of the white people will be more than ever hostile to an authority which manifests its power by investing with absolute political mastery the mass of igno rant, untutored negroes. Tho best of human nature would be likely to approach "per petual enmity" in similar circumstances. The more significant 'point suggested by our correspondent relates, however, to the growing anxiety among thoughtful Southerners as to the dangers of the situation and the desirable ness of doing something to satisfy the demands of the North. In this respect an important change is observable. For the first time they comprehend the inflexible determination of the represented States to exact conditions prior to the readmission of the South. Their great dif ficulty is in regard to the terms which tho South may propose or accept, with a reason able assurance that they will lie decisive. Tho difficulty was less formidable three months ago than now; but then, unfortunately, almost the entire South refused either to offer or to listen to terms of any kind. Governor Orr's speech at Charleston, as telo graphed last Friday, indicates yet more dis tinctly the growth of an uneasy and apprehen sive feeling. Tho stay-at-home residents of South Carolina or Alabama have believed that "dignity" would carry them through their troubles. Wise counsellors of the Charleston Mtrcm tj school have inculcated the prime im portance of a "masterly inactivity" as a means of overcoming Congressional aggressiveness; and the people have believed them. Governor Orr's remarks are fitted to dispel tho delusion. He has visited Washington and studied the position there. He has seen, heard, and talked with all parties to the controversy with radi cal Congressmen, extreme in their demands; with the President, and with tho Democratic opposition. And his conclusion is, that the existing political relations "are of a very grave character." Tho discovery is not new. but there is some thing new in the promulgation of the fact by the iiovernor of isotith Carolina. "It is dim cult," he reminds his hearers, "to tell what our political position in the future is to be;" and he proceeds to recommend the adoption of a conciliatory course by the South as tho only means of averting formidable disasters. He assures them that in the present crisis South ern "dignity" is of no avail against the North ern call for guarantees. He warns them that the doctrine of "masterly inactivity" is preg nant with eril to themselves. And he sug gests the adoption by the Southern Legisla tures of the modified Constitutional amend ment with which his name has loen connected, under a belief that that measure in conjunc tion with negro enfranchisement "will pro duce the best results upon a considerable por tion of the radical party, and save the South from many of the proposed radical measures." Events have progressed rapidly at Washing ton since Governor Orr's departure. Measures which were in embryo when he was there, have since been passed by the House witli a haste which seems almost to preclude the, hope of such a triuiimh of iim,l..ii,tii,ii as he has deemed probable. To this extent the situation has changed, and changed for the worse. It does not follow, however, that the counsel offered by Governor Orr has lost its wisdom in consequence. The result at which he aims might be more difficult of attainment, but the expediency jierhnps tho duty of manifesting a "disposition to have a perfect and complete settlement," remains unchanged. For what ever we may think of the harsh and hasty proceedings of the House, we cannot forgot that the South has placed itself in the wrong by its refusal to entertain the proposition pre viously submitted 'he display of a willingness to come to terms would of itself have done much invr.ii .iwnrminir ex treme assailants. Tho unanimous rejection of an overture made m good faith, and the taiiure to propose any conditions iu its stead, are cir cumstances that look like stubbornness, oven if they are not. Thev have hnln.i.1. we - - ' - i sure, to swell the majorities for the measures of Messrs. Eliot and Stevens, and to give color to the opinion that they aro a political necessity. The acceptance of Governor Orr's advice would vindicate the South from the stigma under which it labors. Granting, as our liich mond correspondent contends, that the people have no faith in the efficacy of anything they may do or propose, it by no means follows that nothing should le attempted. The reverse would probably be nearer the right. Because tho House majority legislate on the assumption that the Southorn people are unyielding, in tractable, rebellious, therefore let the Southern people prove that they are unwilling to con sent to guarantees which, with one exception, are identical with the Congressional amend ment, and to at least ono guarantee that of negro suffrage for which until tho other dav Congress never asked. The more extreme the measures of the House, the more necessary is it for the South to listen to the suggestions which Governor Orr and others have at the eleventh hour indorsed. English Reform. From the. Tribune. The Derby Government have lost no time after the meeting of Parliament in taking ac tion on the subject of reform; but that action, our cable despatches inform us, has failed to give satisfaction to the bulk of the Liberal party. And this is not surprising. The natu ral presumption, from that portion of the Queen's speech relating to the question of reform, was that her Ministers were prepared to introduce into Parliament, with all conve nient speed, a measure for the extension of the franchise. But instead of bringing forward such a measure, they have adopted a course at onco unconstitutional and unprecedented. Instead of grappling with the question in the usual way on their responsibility as a Govern ment, prepared to stand or fall by the verdict of the House of Commons on their bill, they propose, as a preliminary step, to take the sense of the House as to the plan upon which reform, presuming the principle to bo con ceded, shall be carried out. This looks very like a shirking of the ques tion on their part, and gives color to the in sinuation made in some of the English jour nals that the Cabinet, being divided am nig themselves on the subject, a sort of compro mise has been entered into by Lord Derby's colleagues. Taking into account the circum stances under which the Tories, aided by a tur iwrimnf T.Otnrnlu uiKmoafLtfl iti llurtlininiT the Russell-Gladstone Ministry, as well as the ! popular agitation on the subject of reform 1 which followed the change of Government, the first duty of the present Administration mani festly was to propose to Parliament a measure at least equally lilieral with that on which their predecessors in office were wrecked. They were bound to propose a bill free from those alleged faults and demerits which the Tory party, and the faithless Liberals acting with them, made the principal ground of their opposition to the late defeated Reform bill. This they have failed to do, and the Tory leaders consequently lay themselves open to the charge that in opposing Mr. Gladstone's bill they were actuated, not by honorable ami patriotic motives, but solely by a selfish desire to seize the reins of power. It is evident, the professions in the Queen's seoch to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Tories are not prepared to deal with reform in accordance with the popular will; and this being so, it is safe to predict the speedy over throw of the Derby Government. It is cer tainly a clever device to propose to throw the responsibility of framing a measure of reform upon the House of Commons. Could tho House be induced to accept the responsibility, it is not difficult to foresee that the result would bo to postpone reform for at least another twelve months, and to insure to Lord Derby's party a further loss of power. Tho game of the last session would, in that case, be played over again, and any bill that might be brought in would be killed by successive mutilations in committee. But the device, we are strongly of opinion, will not succeed, for the simple reason that the people will no longer tolerate delay in the settlement of the question. Granting that, with the aid of those Liberals who helped the Tories to defeat Mr. Glad stone's Reform bill, the resolutions of which Mr. Disraeli lias given notice, are affirmed what then ? The Government will not on that account be relieved of its responsibility in the matter. Granting that, by the device wincn has been adopted, the Liberal party should be so divided and weakened as to give Lord Derby's Government an apparent triumph over reformers of the Bright school what then ? Tho victory will be dearly bought, and the disaster speedily retrieved; for out side of parties in Parliament, and independent of them, there is the great body of the English people, the disfranchised masses, de manding that the rights of which they have In-en mi ustlv deprived snail oe restored 10 them, and asserting their fixed determination to have justice. No ministry, be it Tory or Liberal, can long hold power tailing to meci this demand. America and the Greeks. From the World. It is to be hoiied that there is no truth m tho story that General Kalergis or Admiral Canaris, or some other eminent Hellenic hero, is on his way to this country to thank the people of the United States lor past iavors extended to the Greeks, and to ask the further gratification of a couple of monitors. In a tlio Atiiprii'iin ncoitle certainly do sympathize with the Greeks, who desire to shake on the xurKisn yoKe; ami n in that if proper pains were taken to represent any given case of destitution in Greece, pro perly, to the American public, we should extend such relief as is in our power to tho sufferers, most heartily and freely. But the masses of the American people have no earthly intention of allowing themselves to be "mixed up" with the feverish and confused politics of the Levant, and the actual emer gency of the Greek Cretans has unluckily been put before the people bore in tho way least calculated to command our support and our practical help.
