'-r/^ V ^ A FIMANCIAL 8CHEME. That the democrat fury fully rccguithai iho people are in tirn?t about flianca) rtlirf nnd intend to give Ihrni melt asai-tance as sorti aa the cotitr ! ot (he government | aaecH into their hands. is already apparent. We jfttr.lsy receive I it letteami citvu'ar from Wm. ri. McVisler, of our National Committee, i<i which lie calls at'ention to a propos lion made to 'nk? the p!n?c of the sub treasury sch-tne of the Purine-'s Al iaucc, and a careful reading of whuh oenvnees u< that it it a move in the right directi on, and if such a law can be enact r-i it will inaure lo the cnintry more money and less taxation. It is an iinproventent over our old Sta'e birthing rysteni, mi I nKtri uur vvuui > nuu *<??? ? v uc m mivu mv place of government bonis. .Mr. McAl ulcr writes us : "The central idea in this pliin it to in crease the circulating medium iti relief < f the money fainiuc. The proposed system provide* for a sound, cheap. clast'C and convenient currency?thus civering ilie wliole range of the purpose of the suhtreaniry sys'eui, on foasib'c constitutional bests." The author starts out by referring to the feeling of discontent that prevails to-day with h largc elites of intelligent people ol this country, sud that is manifesting i'se'f with great vigor amongst the agriculture' population of the 8 uthern State-, an 1 it demands sti-'cus consideration and the adoption of a speedy and itfectual remedy. He further asset is that "these fcople have abundant cause of complain', and that a good part of this is chargeable to tlio tiinnc:al and industrial |olicy of the government." We are glad to see our Democratic lea !c s so boldly recognizing this distress and necessity, and it will do i. uch to allay disaffection among our Soutlie n farmers and induce them to return to their old party fold, and give tho Democracy ano'Sier and a fair lest, rvbich it has never had s nco the wee. After a lengthy dissuasion of the pressnt financial system ot our govoriitnen', this proportion is made : *Tlie uiost feasible plan suggedel is the amendment vf ihe existing satue which levies a tax of 10 per cent upon notes issued by State batiks: to exempt from its operation nil notes issued by a State banking association, providtd that s<id notes iimltr the law whereby they nro i-suid nte securod first, by the dcpo?ii wilt some des'guatel ofticoi of the State or United S ates of a * sufficient number of bonds of the United States, or nny one of the States, counties, or cities, which at par will rtrpinl the circulition which is to be is-ued by the binks; second, by a tiist lien upon n.li the a<-s?ts of the bank ; third, by the addi ional lial ility of the stockholders to the extent of 100 per ,.n.i ..I. .... ,i.? .... : i in by theiu for their slock." If this plan cou;d bs carried oui, it would tttrorlt immense sating to the people of the Southern States, nnd at the same time increase to a eery large extent the amount of circulating medium, which they so much need. Tho aggregate Coun'y debt of eleven Southern States is $15,437,003, on which the people pay an annual interest of ?1,GUI,518; their State debt amounts to $85,732,lil7, with an interest of $4,019,703. The couoty debt of South Carolina is $1,171,850. and iuierest $75,07-5 ; our Suite's obligation $0,801,119, on which oitr taxpayers yearly pay $390,104 in interest. If tlie annual interest of this debt could be reduced to 3 per cent it would site the taxpayers SI.948,0.89.49 annually, which, in tweuly years, would result in a total saving of $38,903,789.80. I$j toe ?ns of this bank note issue the bonds of tbc States and counties, which by iieason of their form and va tic cannot pa-s wm-o mv/uujr, mil UCUUIUV |UUCllCaiiy imuuicrable into money and tho circulation increased to the extent of tho notes issued upon them ; and white we would not succec 1 in converting the State and county debts into a blessing, we would greatly re-duce the weight of the burdqn, os^ it now rests upon the should wrsofte^^j^^^h jw^drroletieg wedlnw ilie Taults and strong Boxes Krery jgoTcrnment ouglt^ ffifll furnish tbeTamourit of ihonigv riewfflMHgfl the easy transaction 9t the tmd'Hress within its borders oi^'flhouldr- empower .'its citizens to supply-^eir5>wn needs in this respect in the most sfthpTq and advantageous manner practicable. This plan to repeal the tax of 10 per cent upon u'l bills issued by other than national banks, and the establishment of State banks : nt' issue, is prac icable ; it decentralizes the I monev nowor: it will nrevent tli? mnlrnl lit' I ihc currency by n few ; it meets the approbation of tnore people than any other I scheme; nn<l it localizes our currency. First, the tendency of these bank notes will be towards home and not away from it, And in this will differ from any paper note now in existence. Second, when out of active use they will go into the bank for redemption, and not accumulate at Chicago or New York to breed uubealthy speculation. Third, they will always be on hand to n.ovc the crops because they will lodge at home. While we do net think the above plan will give our people all tlie money that they need, it is certainly a eteu in the ricrbt direction. It can be given u experiment, jttid amended frotn tiiu* to time as the cx* igencio* of the country may demand. Hut wo are glad to soc that our Democratic leaders are alive to the importance of financial reform, for it is a happy omen for the auccess of our party in the agricultural JSiatos of the Soudi.?Col.
