i : vol. vii. THE BANKING PROJECT A Clear and Strong Presentation-Safeguards, Constitutional Rights, EtcAY?r York Journal of Commeice: The American Bankers' Association has jnst held a convention at San Francisco. Michael 1). Harter, of Ohio, ' "++ delivered h most able address before 'that body, in which he repeated in a " more complete form the projoet for a banknote currency he devised and published last year. His plan ini I IM i _ r . climes more nuerai provisions ior ihe perpetration of the national i bank currency anil a like provision for the revival of the issues by State institutions. There is certainly no objection to both these measures if they can bo carried into ' successful operation. Any form of a bank-note currency has a character essentially different from the flat notes anil certificates issued by the governmont. These latter issues from their very nature can have no flexibility. Their volume cannot be increased to meet a sudden demand for the movement of the crops, nor diminished whon the emergency is over. The United States Treasury cannot lend these issues as a bank can its paper currency for promissory notes and mercantile acceptances and withdraw them when the obligations are due and paid and the circulation is no longer required. The plan uinlet consideration authorizes the national hanks to issue any amount of registered hank notes secured by a deposit with the Comptroller of the Currency, in addition to the United States bonds now required by law, of the registered bonds of any railroad corporation or city in the United States of the char actor described. The principal and interest of these securities must be payable in gold coin, they must have been listed for five years on some re gular stock exchange in a city con taining not less than 500,000 inhabitants; they must not have been sold on any such exchange at any time within throe years for less than a premium of 5 per cent.; no city bonds to he accepted where the annual tax levy exceeds 2 per cent., and not more than 20 per cent, of the whole sum to bo in one description of bonds. Various other speci fications are added, but thofeare sufficient to show their general charac tor. As the currency is to be issued for only 90 per cent, of the deposit, it would seem that bonds quoted at par as some first class bonds are which hear only a low rate of interest would he found amply sufficient. The plan provides for a tax of onefifth of 1 per cent, per annum on the average circulation up to 90 per cent, of the paid in capital; 1 per cent, on the issues between 00 and 180 per cent, of the capital; and 10 per cent, on all above the latter amount. Out of this tax $1,000,000 shall be set apart as safety fund to supply any deficiency in the securities deposited. And the issues shall cease to he a legal tender in payment of any obligation due to the United States. i.. u: .u? in ins uuuiuas iiiu jnujuuiui iciuurked that he saw no reason why the banks should not be permitted to issue for the United States bonds on d Y>osit an amount up to their par \. ue. There is no reason whatever for the restriction to 90 percent, now existing, and this would add $18,000,000 to tho currency, lie would also repeal the provision making these issues a legal tender to the banks for the payment of obligations due them. If any such pain is ever brought before Congress it could be modified in some respects without impairing its security, The limit of the tax levy is too low, lis there is no city in the Union that is in much better credit than llrooklyn and its levy exceeds 2 per cent, named as tho outside limit of acceptance. The safety fund provision might be useful in case any bank through a run "k?on it failed to redeem its issues p/omptly, if the Comptroller was an thorized to use it for such redemption, restoring tho money to it when the securotiea were sold, or the bank was enabled to resume its payments. Having made such provision for the national banks the plan proposes to redeal the Federal tax on tho issues of State banks and leave them to the legislation of the several conn ties in which they aro located. Mr. llarter does not state it any too strongly when he says that tho law , which taxed the State bank out of ^ its existence "cannot bo enforced and would not in 1892 be upheld by Ahc Supreme Court of the United States as now constituted." We pointed out the unconstitutionality of the act when it was passed nearly thirty years ago. We cannot say Br4 what the decision of the Federal court would be if the case was sub* mitted to it, but we are very clear that Congress has so power to make a levy on the issue of a State institutes for any such purpose. It will be admitted, without a question, that Congress cannot prohibit a State bank' from issuing its notes as currency. An act containing such a provision would bo laughed at as a dead letter. Tf a direct prohibition of such issues is not within the power of the Federal government, then an indirect prohibition in the shape of a . tax levied for this sole purpose is j clearly beyond the limit of Federal authority. The argument in which the author shows that no State bank notes of in j ferior qualify of deficient value will i ever again either to secure or retain , circulation is masterly and wholly unanswerable. The plea that the circulation of State banks would in- ; cline to bo local rather than general 1 is one of the strongest arguments in < their favor. As Sir. llarter very, justly remarks, -'This is precisely the feature which the West and 1 South needs, and there is no ques- 1 tion but that out of this would come < advantages to the new and growing sections of our country, and to those ( in which capital is least abundant, which cannot be given them by any j1 volume of minted coin oranyquanti j ty of legal tender notes because of j the tendency of both to flow away from such regions and to the great money centres." One of the strom* arguments in ! 0 " o ? | iti favor of the State bunk issues is their perfect flexibility and the un?! deniable fact that they meet the; pressing needs of all classes of the people precisely at the time when the demand for such currency is most urgent. We notice that 1 the partisan politicians are arguing against the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax, which drove the notes of State 1 banks into a forced retirement be i cause a plea for it has been put into I< one of the party platforms, and the other side are afraid that theiroppo- < tients will make some gain among I < the people "if the favor is granted." i We desire once for all to say to the j demagogues of all parties that this is i not asked Congress as a boon to be I granted or refused at the pleasure of tho politicians, but as a ratification of a most egregious blunder which can not he made too soon. Congress had no right to tako such action. It would he a graceful thing for that body to 1 do if it would repeal the act and leave the matter once more in the hands of the State. Hut the Federal (lovernnieiit cannot help itself if the State oanks choose to claim their i rights in the courts. A retreat from j an untenable position would look better than a defeat, which must i come if Congress persists in this us- i urpation. i Hints for BoysA gentleman advertised for a boy to assist him in his ollice, nearly fifty applicants presented themselves before him. ()ut of the whole number he selected one and dismissed tho ; rest. ( "I should like to know," said a i friend, "on what ground you selected | that l>oy, without a single recommendation?'' "You are mistaken,'' said the gentleman; "he has a groat many: lie j wiped his feet when he oame in and j closed the door after him, showing i that he was careful; gave up his seat to that lame old man showing that | ho was kind and thoughtful; he took off his cap when he came in, answered my questions promptly and respect- ? fully, showing that he was polite and i gentlemanly; ho pickodjup a book, which I had purposely laid upon the , lloor, and replaced it on the table, i while all the rest stepped over it or I shoved it aside, and he waited quiet, i ly for his turn, instead of pushing or crowding, showing that he was i honest and orderly. When 1 talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order and his teeth as white as milk; and when he wrote his name, 1 noticed that his finger nails were 1 clean, instead of being tipped with jet, like that handsome little fellow's j in the bine jacket. Don't you call ' these things letters of recommendation? I do; and I would give more for what 1 can tell about a boy by using my eyes ten minutes than all the letters of recommendation he can frire mo.'' o ~ * -j>. - ? - * Learn Addition. 1 A short time ago, si boy was thrown out into the world to enter i the fight for bread and butter.

Such ex- j animation will be made by men, too, who are clothed with unlimited authority, and it will be well nigh an impossibility for the dread Asiatic cholera to obtain wntrance into this: State. The State Board of Health, or rather the quarantine committee thereof, met in this city yesterday I morning in accordance with the announcement made yesterday morning. There were present at the meeting Dr. T. Grange Simons, Charleston; Charles It. Taber, Fort Motto; Conip- i (roller General ICIlorbe and Attorney General McLnurin. At considerable length the board! discussed the need of establishing a quarantine for the State und all the! details incident thereto. SIM I'l.Y I'll EC A FTION'A UY. They took very decisive action but; desire it stated that they do not fear the appearance of cholera in South Carolina, but they have acted simply und purely in a precautionary way so us to prevent an epidemic no mutter what circumstances may arise. 7IIK COAST 18 SAFE. They feel that the coast means of j ingress is already well protected, and that they have nothing to fear 01, that score, and now their desire is to guard the interior by the railroad routes. Thero will be no unnecessary detention of trains, and no interence with the running of tho regular schedules. They hope to do all the law requires in a quiet and speedy way. 'I'lin linn nl il I'll f trwl 11 i irnr>l it unit ii hi which Governor Tillman was asked to sign calling upon all railroad ail- i thoritios to assist the health ollicers in the discharge of their duty, and proclaiming the State under quarantine from center to circumference. They decided to establish fourteen stations in various portions of the State along the railway lines, at which quarantine inspectors would be stationed. This morning Drs. Taber and Simons will start out to tnake a tour among these stations so as to select the very host men obtainable and have them placed in charge at once il.-i it - 1 _ mi t?u mui uiey can get worn, iney will choose only active voung men, who are graduates of medical colleges of recognized standing in the country. These inspectors will board trains and issuo health certificates to the prssengers which, by the way, will be of great use to them elsewhere. If they think it necessary they can detain trains and disinfect them before allowing them to proceed. (fUAHANTINK STATIONS.

Two fat men opened the campaign at the 8tocU yards the other day. One was u republican and the other a democrat. They jawed about the tariff and the silvor ruination fur n liulf hour and then begun to banter each other on running a foot-race. Nelson Hush, the republican, weighs 27f? pounds, but manages to get around through the yards at a lively clip and has always claimed to he light on his feet for such a diofty man." Several times he has defouted other big men in running matches. Moses Weinberg is a Herman, lie weighs 2J10 pounds and is democratic to the last ounce. After dis cussing politics with Bush, he agreed to run a foot-race, the loser to vote the other man's ticket this fall. Severs witnessed the agreement, which was made in Kxehange hail.

It was agreed that the first who touched the big blackboard should be declared winner. The two moved off in a ponderous lope that caused the windows to rattle.! Hush set the pace at lirst, but the man from Augusta, carrying nearly fifty pounds less weight, drew away from him and jammed into the blackboard three lengths ahead. While the race was on all the traders howled with cxcitemont. "That means the whole democratic ticket, from top to bottom,"'said Weinberg, as lie putted to get bis breath back. "Not much," said the defeated man. "Ill vote for Cleveland, but I can't stand the county ticket." Ways ot King's Daughters, The fiat went forth from the president tf a King's Daughter circle last Juno that each member of the circle should earn *.r> during the .summer months. They were not allowed to beg this money or have it donated?work nuist he done for navment? and in a just fair manner. Divers anil various were the ways of this little hand. Their methods proved ingenious. One busy matron tnado loaves of her excellent home made broad and cake which she sold at reasonable prices to hor delighted friends. "Aunt l^ggy" ironed her liusband's white vests charging 25 cents a piece. The literary member saved *2.50 from her earning, and argued that a penny saved was equal to two oarned so that hor $5 was complete. Two practical princesses who were away at the same summer resort darned stockings for less ambitious women, besides doing all sorts of mending?all for a consideration. Home china was painted and sold by tho artistic worker. A merry girl, while visiting friends, picked berries and sold thorn to her hostess at market price. Tho society butterfly of the circlo was in despair?she 11 1 i .... won hi no noming practical, but she could dance, so that talent was utilitod. She taught tho awkward sununcr young man all the latest fancy steps in dancing, and after experiencing the weariness of the dancing master magnified tenfold, the required sum was realized. Some Southern friends gave another member orders for handsome finger-bowl doilies. Hat, trimming was resorted to by the deft-lingered girl who retrimmed and refurnished dilapidated much-worn summer hats. One King's Daughter visited her friends and polished up their cut glass table ware preparatory to the opening of their town house. "Little I'riscilla,'' who always was j a sweet picture, posed for her ambitious artistic chum, and who shall say but that her lot was the hardest? The hank of this hand is replenished and the circle is ready for a winter's earnest work. Why Rails Will CreepTho creeping of rails has attracted gome attention of late, and while we do not attempt to explain it we offer a point on tho fact that on lines run mug norm ii11(i sou in me western rail "creeps" faster than the eastern rail; that is. this strange movement of the rail toward the south is more marked in 0110 rail than the other on on tho same track, says the Scientific American. Furthermore, it has been noticed that on such a line the eastern rails wear out the fastest. Both of these points we think, can be explained by the motion of tho earth as it turns from the west toward the cast. Motion tends to overcome gravitation, A rapid skater Hies over tho thin ice wouthout breaking through, and a train at high speed has boeu known to loap a broken bridge unharmed. 1892. j Momentum overcomes grnvitn'ion, ami the greater the speed thu loss i weight <?u the rails. K very thing that has free motion is dragged after | the whiiling globo, every wind that i blows and overy tide that moves feels the influence, and oar train going north or south is pulled over toward the east, and naturally press es the eastern rail most heavily. The western rail, being relieved of i its share of weight, "creeps'' more freely and quickly. It is also notic ed that the wheels that run on tne eastern rails wear out first, and we J can but think that this earth motion is tho true cause. The practical side I oi itiis is t hat i lie eastern rails ami j wheels should be strongest. Wise Words. Don't look for llaws in people. I.idle sins belong to big families.
