opportunity to Issue currency the nov eminent Is obliged to Issue bonds spec allv for this purpose The lio eminent although It does not want money is obllced to take up a loan and pay Interest on it In order to al low the banks to Increase the note cir culation If thcro has ever been a foolish uystom In the world it Is this ow as to what concerns the cur rency reforms Its scheme I hullt up on the idea that temporary increase of currency Is ursently needed Is that true The recent crisis and stringency of money seems to prove It Hut this proof Is Inconsistent ue Tnlted States does not want an Increase of currency It has tot more than any crcit civilized country In tho worldexcept Franco It has cot over S31 of media of pay ment PT Inhabitant It retains at least oneseventh of tho whole

Not at all The present situation will simply be InfUted Tim strugKls for currency botwion the banks will be1 worse than ever The jnovlslons of tho bill can for tho momvnt stop a crisis when ono has broken out They cannot possibly prevent ato I am rather n cllned to tay and I am sure almost all European xonomlstn ulll tiKttv wltu tne that this bill will provoke crises much more than prevent them It will as a matter of fact prove to be a mar1 vellous promoter of speculation It empowers the banks tIJ pump up and down the Interest rate on money as they like The recent panic has evl ilenth proved that by mere unneee sary hoarding the strlnRency of money will attain a dangerous point Interest rates will Increase In startling propor tions Such hoarding for thn benefit of tho banks Is not hindered by the Al drlch bill On the contrary For if the stringency attains a degree that tnlKht bo dangerous for the hoarding banks themselves they will apply for emer gency currency they will get It and i thus again depress the Interest rate Juat to tho point they want whereas up to nojv tlmy have risked their own exIst i ence In such periloun game May Stop but Cannot Prevent Panics I But this Is only the moral side of the i question Bankers are not angels And i morality has nothing to do with Interest earning I do not Inelst here on other defects o the proposed retormon the peril of Isauinr note iruaranteed on oilier than Government bonds and 10 on The Important point la the principle This la that the bill will cause the inflation of a currency which shows a more than sufficient amount and that on the other hand It does not provide at all for bringing about ft more reason I able administration distribution and I should say canalization of ttieso enormous quanltles of media of pay ment It Is that the bill cannot prevent panics but only stop them when they are tit hand when stringency has mado itself strongly felt It Is that nothing will be changed us to what concerns tlo system to which the crisis Is due Thn great point for American prosper ity In the eyes of Europe Is not stringency or shrinking of busi noss On the contrary it is Inflation of credit of exploitation of currency I be lieve that European public opinion Is unanimous on thla point And as the United States U ooilged to appeal on many occasions to Kurope for rtnancIiiB its enterprises this general opinion ought to be earnestly consider After all that has happened for some months past the unpleasant aspect that Amer ican economic life has shown Europe would doubtless take still less leal Ont forms if by the Aldrich bill the United atatcis Instead of curing its monetary dea should make It still more dan i gerotis and perhaps Incurable Just as In morphlneoinanla the patient who is afraid of collapsing
