more than the
present volume of national bank circula
tion, aud the full significance of this
fact may bo realized when wo remember
that our business necessities aro now
about four times as large as they were
then. It is only by making such a com
parison that wo can understand what an
important part the circulation of state
bank notes played In our circulation.
One of tho chief objections urged
against the state bank system is really
an argumont in its favor. It is said that
tho notes of the banks would not be at
par in every part of the union. We
know of no higher recommendation
Tho greatest need of tho people and bus
iness of tho country at this moment is a
currency that cannot he drawn to the
banks that tlourlsh on the edge of the
Wall street whirlpool. Our greatest
need Is a local currency that will re
main where it can do the most good,
and where it Is most needed. It is not
true of the old state hanks, however,
that tlieso hills were not at par away
from home. The notes of the Bank of
the State of Georgia and the Bank of
South Carolina were as good Id London
and Liverpool os they were at home.
There Is one feature of the atate bank
system which is worthy of notice, and
attention has been recently called to it
by Senator Ilorace Chilton,, of Texas.
The state bank circulation was based on
the idea of the actual redemption of
bank notes In specie. A state bank, for
example, tuned 920,000 In bills under
the lsw. These bills would flow out
through the local channels of trade and
commerce in every direction, bat as soon
as they ceased to be needed in aotual
transactions, they would begin to flow
back for redemption. They were In
tended, as Mr. Chilton shows to be se
cure enough to pan at par In dally buai-
oeu, but not secure enough to be held
2,000 miles sway,with no thought of re
demption. They were continually re
turning to the vaulta of the bank that Is
sued them, and wer'e as continually put
out to local borrowers again—so that
there was always enough currency to do
business, and no more. It was s self
regulating currency. There was always
a return current from the cities to tho
country and back again.
This Is precisely where tho national
hank circulation Is a failure. The secu
rity on which it Is based defeats all idea
of redemption. It can be hoarded, and
It can bo called away from one section of
the country to another. In other words
it is not a flexible and an elaatic paper
currency, and it docs not meet the de
mands of business as sptly as tho state
bank bills did. It is os poor as gold, and
it collects in tho money centers, leaving
the rest of tho country to get along the
best it can. Under the old system there
could be no contraction of money. Un
der our present system the money sharks
of the north and east can contract the
currency at their pleasure.
Tub newspapers of Lima, Peru, con
tain elaborate accounts ot the removal of
tbs remains of Francisco Pixarro, who
led the conquest of Pern, from a vault
under the altar ot tho cathedral at Lima,
to the ebtpel ot tho Viceroys In the
same building. The remains ware (ob
jected to a careful examination, and the

WILL SKT TIIE COLONELS THINKING'
Here is an editorial utterance from the
Savannah Times which will set the
‘•colonels" to thinking;
“Lieutenant-Colonel Stovall, Lieu
tenant-Colonel B. II. Richardson, Lieu
tenant-Colonel John Temple Graves,
Lieutenant-Colonel Speer, Lieutenant-
Colonel Joslah Carter, and all the other
lieutenant-colonels of Governor Xor-
tben's staff, are not coming up so brave
ly as we expected them to. These gal
lant soldiers, heroes of many an unfought
battle, aro neglecting their duty In not
rushing impetuously to the attack on
tho bill to cut down the governor's staff
to thirteen.
“As the Times has pointed out, the
hill is a blow aimed at the press, and,
therefore, unconstitutional.
“Can It bo that the colonels are so
reckless as to defy the thirteen supersti
tion ? That wore hardihood to the verge
of madness, and it is impossible to he
Hove.
“The lieutenant-colonels should at
tack and put to rout the supporters of
the measure, and a special message on
the subject from the governor would be
In order."
TOE SECOND TERM. _
Looking the Republican party over
from the Calais saw mills to the Astoria
salmon factories, and from the lakes to
the gulf, custom bouses, post offices,
newspaper offices, all Included, we
ehould say that there was about aa
much popular demaud for the renoml-
natlon of the Hon. Benjamin Harrison
as there was In August, 1879, for tbe
renomination of Rutherford B. Hayes.
Certainly there Is not less; perhaps
there It a little more.
No man can occupy tbe white house
and be without eupport for a second
term, eo long as bis first term lasts, and
the political value of his autograph has
not been destroyed by the final fourth of
March.
If the Hon. Benjamin Harrison will
send for the files of the dally newspa
pers during the summer months of 1870,
he will find that there was a time when
oven Mr. Rutherford B. Hayes had sup
porters for renomination.—New York
Sun.
The following from the Knoxville
Tribune shows the state of the IIoux
sentiment in East Tennessee: “An
Anderson county Republican, who evi
dently knows whereof he speaks, asserts
that Judge Uouk formally willed his
seat in congress to his son John, ana,
declares this Anderson county advocate
of justice, it would be an outrage upon
the living and the dead if tbe people
failed to ratify and endorse the will
In fact, to do otherwise would doubt
less bo Illegal. Hence, oh, patriots,
pie-eaters and pap-suckers,do your duty
by voting for John Houk,and herein fall
not."
The house has passed the Athens dis
pensary bill. This seems to be tbe re
sult of the recent prohibition election.
Tbe county is to become the liquor deal
er, buying and aeUlng, with officers ap
pointed by lsw In charge. Tbe liquor
must be sold In original packages of
pints, and the traffic will be closely reg
ulated. The dispensary will do away
with the blind tiger business, and was
favored by both prohibitionist and
antis.
Eimtoii Gantt gives the Democratic
cougress-elect notice that upon their
action iu regard to the Ocala platform at
the next session depends the Inaugura
tion of the third party: lie says: “We
will know by next February what re
liance we can place In Democratic
promises. Pass the sub-treasury bill
through the house, together with the
otlior demauds in our platform, and we
will guarantee that the third party will
‘die a-borning.' Otherwise you are
going to see it a living reality, and wo
believe, too, that the farmers will name
the next president. The partisan press
and the old sore-head politicians of Geor
gia can preserve this editorial for future
reference.”
The death of James Russell Lowell,
of Massachusetts, and George Jones,
editor and proprietor of the New York
Times, removes two prominent men
whose names will live In American his
tory. Mr. Lowell ranked foremost
among the men af learning in this coun
try, and as a scholarly diplomat he had
no superiors. George Jones, ns an in
dependent journalist, won fame and for
tune. Their lives were well spent, and
the world Is better for them having
lived in it.
