REGIONAL BANK NOTES * Explanation of How They May bo Regularly Issued. The regional reserve bank notes, the printed evidence of the establishment of a new order of banking, says a Washington correspondent, may not be any easier to get hold of than any other iorm of money, but when once obtained the holder will possess paS per which has gone through a process ^ something like this: [ When a merchant, a grain dealer, a . farmer or other business man sells goods and does not receive money he "^^u'repts either the promissory note of V ^^Fthe man to whom ihe merchandise is w sold or carries the obligation on open account. If he is a commission mer\ chant or jobber he may draw drafts ^ against the shipment. These forms of paper are valuable because they may be discounted, banks paying out money or giving the depositor credit to the amount of the paper discounted, less Interest. This system of obtaining money from banks on paper based on commercial transactions moves along smoothly in times of prosperity. Then when money becomes "tight," when interest rates advance and men " * J? *L/v #,?. everywhere lack commence m ?? *?ture, tending to keep a tight hold on money, this system of credits comes fto a sudden stop. The usual avenues of money transactipns are blocked and there is a congestion of traffic. The result is business depression or, less frequently, actual panic. The answer to this trouble, it is declared,, is the regional bank note. Under the new system the promissory note, draft or other form of obligation will be presented at the bank by the owner of the paper. Thereupkon the bank discounts it. But instead of being compelled to bear the strain of furnishing money or credit, the strain is shifted along to the regional B^^reserve bank. The paper now bears endorsement of the ownership and of the bank to which it was first presented. The regional bank rediscounts the paper, segregates 40 per cent of the face value of the paper in gold, to be held as a reserve against the notes to be issued, and then sends back to the small bank an account of regional reserve notes equal in amount to the commercial paper which has been discounted. The man who held the note receives the regional reserve bank notes. * * 1 * * V* -V />. > OA Q Q Q This is tneoreucauy U1C COCV , WW W. | matter of fact, he will be paid for his note in any form of money the bank has on hand when the paper is presented for discount and the bank will reimburse itself with the regional reP serve notes which, for ordinary purposes will be used interchangeably in commerce with all other forms of paper currency. In the course of ninety days, in some cases six months, the promissory note on which all this transaction is based, comes due. It mpst be paid. It must be paid in money. Consequently the bank holding the paper draws from the business men an amount of money equal to the amount which it loaned him on the discounted paper. In this way the amount of money in circulation is reduced as each note a becomes due and the danger of conm stantly adding to the amount of cur^ rency in circulation?the danger of "inflating" circulation ? is avoided. ^P. This, in a simple way, is the road B' which the regional bank note will travel. There are a number of varlations to be played on this theme, but Fthe mass of notes will How irom unreserve banks and back to them in the manner outlined. The 40 per cent of gold which the S. reserve bank must put up to guarantee the redemption of the regional reserve notes, is to be obtained from the capital of the reserve banks and the reserve deposits which member banks will be required by law to make. It is , on reserve deposits that the reserve banks must chiefly depend, however. jT If the national banks enter the system the reserves will exceed $600,000,000. The reserve bank itself must hold 35 per cent of this amount, so that the free reserves will be approxiw mately $400,000,000. This whole sum, 9 1f employed for no other purpose, would provide reserves for one billion dollars of regional reserve notes. Before the notes can be issued, how^ ever, the business man of the coun k try must have felt the need of more money, the individual banks must have decided that they cannot profltB^?^_ ably meet the demands from their B own resources and the paper must meet the approval of both the indi' vldual bank and the Federal reserve L bank. Y~ GROWING SOUTH CAROLINA ^ Commissioner Watson Makes Some Interesting Comparisons. Significant comparisons are being made by Commissioner Watson in his annual report to the general assembly on the agricultural and manufactur, ing development in South Carolina. He has made a study of the figures for the old and new corn belts, showing a decided advance of the new on the old. In this new belt South Carolina has an important place. In 1900 the twelve states, North 4r Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Maryland. Kentucky, West Virginia and Louisiana, averaged 16 bushels of corn to the acre in production. In 1913 the same states averaged * 21.8 bushels to the acre, while the , whole United States averaged 23 bushels. In 1900 the old corn belt, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota and Nebraska, averaged 30.1 bushels of corn to the acre. In 1913 these same states averaged 29.3 bushels to the acre, showing a tailing off, while the new corn belt L showed a decided Increase, k South Carolina's figures in producL tion an acre are as follows: In 1900, seven bushels: in 1904, 12.4 B bushels; 1907, 15.1 bushels; 1910, 18.5 w bushels; 1911, 18.2 bushels; 1913, 20 bushels. South Carolina's corn crop in 1900 was 17,429,610 bushels, while the 1913 ? crop was 38,844,999 bushels. The value of the 1900 corn crop in this state was $9,149,806 and in 1913. $39,620,880. The value of farm property in South Carolina has shown marked increase. In the last ten years the value has increased 155 per cent, while the value - 1 ' ' ICQ t>r ine iana nas inucascu w.... The average value an acre of land on farms has shown an Increase of 178.6 per cent. In manufacturing the last thirteen years have brought forth many im* "provements and remarkable increases in value. The capital stock of all manufacturing plants in 1900 was $62,750,000. while in 1913. the figures having been compiled a few days ago, the capital stock was $159,539,699. The value of the annual product of i all manufacturing plants in 1900 was $53.33(5,000. The value in 1913 was $141,157,302. In the textiles comparative figures also show many increases of note. In 1890 the capital was $11,141,833; annual product $9,800,798, and the spindles. 332,784. In 1900 the capital was $39,258,946: annual product $29,723,919; spindles. 1.431,349. In 1904 the capital was $82,337,429; value of annual product, $49,437,644; spindles. 2,864.092. In 1913 the capital stock of the textiles was $88,767,738; value of product. $84,785,152; spindles. 4,635.816. The population of this state in 1890 was 1,151149; in 1900 it was 1,340,316; in 1910 the population was 1.515,400, and in this year, January 1, it is 1,585.432.
