WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, I8fH.
Fort Cleveland, b a new police
sentry box on the White House
grounds is called, is evidently intend
ed to guard the President against the
enraged Congressmen who attribute
their defeat to his policy.
The Legislative 0 immittce of the
Association of County Commissioners
has been instructed to draft bills for
the passage of an act requiring con
stables to make returns to the court
ouly wbcu violations of law have oc
curred ; to omit registration of vot
ers in December, requiring assessors
simply to make the changes on their
September books for the February
election ; to repeal the act of 1893,
regulating and establishing the fees
of aldermen magistrates, constables,
etc.; providing for the certification to
the Slate of mortgages, etc., held by
any company paying taxes direct to
the State or of corporations not resi
dents of the State ; to repeal that
portion of the act of 1791 which pro
vides for the payment of costs in dis
charged cases, and to amend the law
so as to compel a convicted criminal
to serve at least 30 days io jail for
non-payment of costs before being
released as insolvent debtors, and to
repeal the act providing for the en
rollment of persons liable to military
duty.
According to certified returns re
ceived from county officials and
compiled by the chairinao of the Re
publican Slate Committee, the Re
.paMfcao candidate for Governor of
Tennessee is shown to hove been elec
ted by 841 plurality. This is the
vote of the State as cast and counted
November 6 and the official tran
script of which now rests in the of
fice of the Secretary of State in
Nashville. The refusal of that of
ficial to permit the Republicans to
consult the returns compelled them
to get the figures from the county of
ficials and compile them themselves.
What the objeet of the Democrats is
in concealing the returns is only too
plain. In fact tbey make scarcely
any secret ot it, and mat is to see
whether some way cannot be found
for manipulating the figures soas to
count out the Republican candidate
for Governor and to count in the
jocratio candidate. Governor
Turney, who rau on the Democratic
ticket for re-election, is a member of
the Stale Returning Board,
with which board will rest the
final decision as to who shall be the
next Governor of Tennessee. It will
oe interesting to watcn and fee
whether he will be an accomplice io
the rascally scheme to count himself
into ao office to fill which the people
elected another man.
The Wildcat Money Scheme
Secretary Carlisle's long exposition
of his plan of finaDcn will go for
nought. The bankers generally are
reported reticent io regard to it,
which is an indication thai they have
their doubts of it. But whether they
have or not makes no difference.
Neither this Congress nor any other
will adopt it.
We must assume that the reader
understands the machinery of the
plan, for there is no spaco here in
which to describe it. To show how
it would work let us take an illustra
tion from the cautious and well-in
structed Philadelphia Jstdgcr, the
opinions of which are respected in all
financial circles. Under the plan
capital of (1,000,000 would be enti
tled to a circulation of its own notes
the amount of $750,000, secured to
the extent of 8225,000 of government
notes, which would leave a circula
tion of 8525,000 secured by the
bank's capital. "Should this capital
prove, for any reason, to be unavail
able, there would be no security for
the circulation, and every man would
necessarily have to be always on bis
guard as to the value of the notes re
ceived in his daily transactions, and
the inevitable sequence would bo a
virtual return to tbe chaotic period
and conditions of the old State bank
circulation." We are not going back
to that.
Tbe whole business comes to this:
Do we want the United States back
of our paper money, or do we want
some thousands of banks? Even Ca
nadians accept our money as readily
as they do their own because they
know the Uuited States is behind it;
would they if tbey knew there were
instead some thousands of banks?
But the Secretary says the govern
ment caunot stay behind tbe money
and promise to pay. He maintains
that this promise did more to bring
on the pitiful distress which we are
just escaping than everything else
combined. I bat is just his opinion,
from which thousands and tens of
thousands of his own party not long
since dissented in a vigorous fashion.
lie maintains that the government
canuot continue to cany the load ot
silver and paper and hold both up to
a gold value. Ibe vice of tbe sys
tern wbicb be says must be eradicated
Frst Tbe circulation of tbe Uni
ted Stales notes as currency and their
current redemption in com on de
mand.
Second The compulsory issue of
such notes alter redemption.
Third Ibe excessive accumula
tion aud coinage of silver and the is
sue of notes and certificates against
it upon a ratio which greatly over
values that metal, as compared with
tbe standard unite of value in this
and other principal commercial countries.
This, tbe President said, would
make the issue of bonds ao inceesant
necessity, for so long as the paper
continues to go out and come in on a
demand for gold, the gold must be
obtained by borrowing Grant the
difficulty, but we do not believe the
situation will be improved by mak
ing tne assets ot corporations tho se
curity of the circulating medium in
stead of the wealth and bnoor of tbe
nation. The people will not have
notes the value of which they must
always stand guard over. Pitttsburg
limet.
-- In the Wrong Direction.
The tact has recently been com
merited on by the public press that
the loss to tbe New York banks by
the stealings of their own officers dur
ing tbe past ten years has amounted
to within a few dollars of $5,500,000,
TT I ...
mucn more tneir losses were
from bad loans, where no defalcations
were involved, is not known. It
not important to determine the latter
point, because the first is sufficient for
an exceedingly cogent illustration
Under tbe rigid requirments of the
national banking system tbe deposi
tors of tbe banks were practically
protected against loss, and the note
holders were absolutely protected
mi 1 1 . m . ...
xnenomerot a national bank note
now knows that it makes no difference
in the value of his note if the offi
cers ot tbe bank steal its entire as
sets.
But under the system proposed by
the statesmen who have undertaken
to tinker with tbe currency these
losses would effect the security of tbe
note holders, and still more weaken
the security of the depositors. Tbey
would not in the case of the New
York banks have taken away so much
as to prevent the payment of the
notes, but they would have lessened
tbe assets which are to be tbe sole
guarantee for 65 per cent of tbe cir
culation. The vice of the proposi
tion lies in the fact that the people
will have no means of estimating the
value of their notes. Now
tney Know mat it makes no
difference, so far as the notes are cou
cernud, whether the banks are solvent
or smashed ; uudur the new proposi
tlon it will make a vital difference,
and this doubt addid to others wbicb
arise in periods of panio will aggra
vate and intensify the difficulty.
V hether this evil would go to the
degree of tbe old wild-cat days, when
good Pittsburg notes could not be
passed at New Orleans, may be queB'
lioned ; but the thing that is unques'
tioned is that the proposition is clear
ly in the direction of weakening the
absolute security that has been the
mainstay of our bauking circulation
for tbe past 30 year. IhtUburg Du
