Washington. an. 3.â€"â€"'The following In an abstract of the report of the mone- tary commission ‘lappointed under au- thority of the c ' ventiou'of business men held in Indijgnphlis last January which has just be‘gn made public: Main Points in‘phe Report of the Monetary Commission It retains practimilly unchanged the ex- isting metallic mo ‘ey. The existing gold standard on which )usiness has been done ,aince 1879 is, or course, maintained, on the ground that Indus m intcests demand certainty as to wha the standard shall be. For q‘he steady employment of labor, tac- tories and mines must be constantly 0p- crated: and constan operation in thejudg- ment at business m n is impossible so long as th re is uncertainty as to the standard on w ich prices at goods and orders are based. And to this end. it is urged that the'Uinited States should remove all un- certainty as to the meaning of "coin" in its obligations, thereby saving the taxpayer by the ability to bgrrow-at a lowerrate of interest. Place Itor , Silver., No attempt is made to remove the exist- ing silver dollars; nor to change their legal-tender quailiy; on the contrary, a place is provided 1' :- them in the circulation by forbidding the ssue of any paper money other than silver [certificates in denomina- tions below ten dollars. The silver cur- rency. which will be in, the hands 0! the1 people. must be kept on a parity with gold, as is now providdd by law, and this should be done by requiring the treasury to give gold tor a silver dollar on demand. Can» sequehtly. when it is known that a. silver dollar can be exchanged for gold it'wili circulate freelyjlin the form of certifi- cates)’. and our metallic money, without be» ing diminished. will he unified on a. certain basis; And. as all this silver currency will be needed to meet the demands for large change (when other paper below ten dolâ€" lars is retired), it will not be presented {or redemption at the treasury. and it Will create no strain on the gold reserves. But no more silver dollars stiould be coined. Reserve Too Slender. The commission contend that the ten dif- ferent kinds of money now in Vuse create an anomalous and‘confusing situation~ More- over; the whole" fabric Tests on too slenâ€" der a reserve of- gold. It is urged that t‘m- demnnd obligations of the government should not be used as money. because they may: be, and have been. presented for gold to the injury of the nation’s credit. This cauSes grave doubts as to ihL“ standard on whi¢h the business operations of the coun- try i‘est. Everyt ing which. by exporience, creates uncerta nty énd hurts trade, hinders prosperity and should be. removed Hence the ilscal affairs of the treasury ro- lating to the receipt and disbursunont of public revenues should be (nt xvi) sen- mated from the monetary functions deal- ing with the exchange and redemption of the currency. B) establishing a sepaxate division of issue and tetie‘mption in the treasury, it will be impossible to take away funds set apart for the protection of our monetary system and use them for current expenditures. ‘ Above ‘all, it is regarded as dangerous to maintain the present practice of using gov- ernment demand obligations as money Our fathers never made anything full legal« tender moneyJ exicept gold and silver; but in the stress of civil war. confusing the fiscal and monetary functions of the state. forms of debt due on demand were used as money but as the result of deliberation but of emergency ctmditlons. They were is- sued exactly because there were no re- sources in the treasury; and so they de- preciated. drove out goldw; furnished a fluctuating standard, increased the nation- al debt enormously. caused a change in prices Whenever the credit of the paper standard fluctuated. reduced the purchas- ing power of wages. and by causing un- expected changes in the level of prices gave rise to exuraordinnry speculation. in- creased the severity of commerciril Crises, and ‘placed the small producer at a disud~ vantage with the large operator. For 17 year (1362-1879) \the government paper was a fa sified promise, and our standard was based on this lie. Trade and industry be- came speculative. Men of large Wealth can take care of themselves; but men of small means should be protected from the evils arising from such uncertainty of the stand- ard. ' 're-enta “’hnt Ii Consider-Ate Be De- tects In Our ‘Preleut Currency System, and Suggests flow It May Be‘ Reformed. If the demand obligations of the govern- ment are used as money, reserves must al- ways be kept on hand to redeem them. They are not therefore a loan without in- terest; 'and the' expense of keeping up these iesenes has made the paper mon y a very great burden to the to payer :1 an increase of the public do bl. fiesta gold reserves are necessary. unless the gov- ernment permits “5 notes to go to pro- test. The mere credit of the United States behind its notes istoo vague a tiring, its power to tax is too remote, to provide cash on hand for instant use. So far as expense is concerned, this debt could have been more easily borne by changing it into low interest- -bearlrig bonds. Should_ BE “Ithdrnwn. For these and other reasons the comâ€" mission strongly urge the government to withdraw its demand obligations now used as money, decline‘ to provide gold for ex- porters. and put the burden and expense of' maintaining a redeemable paper circula- tion upon the banks. In order to meet the demand obligations. the present reserves of gold in the treasury furnish a beginning to be set aside in‘the division of issue and redemption; and ito meet possible contin- gencies the secretary of the treasury is authorized to sell bonds whenever the reâ€" serves need replenishment. In this way, o_r from surplus revenfie, the demand obli- gations (that is. United States notes and treasury notes of 1890) can be gradually re- noved. and the qost to the country can be reduced. while this process will also give the inestltnable advantage. of ceasing to use demand debts as monév oil simplify- ing our currency. and of adding, to confi- dence in the' certainty of our standard By the plan of the commission, government‘ paper is Withdrawn in the first five years only as test ah he be king currency exâ€" pands. so that c tract on cannot possibly take place: if L'i ited States notes are can-‘ celed thei plane will be taken by the gold paid out or them. or by the expansion of ‘bank notes ( nder the new system pro- posed); and njthe following five years. all the remaining United States notes are to be retired. l The demand 'bligatlons of the Cnitfid States wereupm forth solely because there wrre no funds in the treasury to redeem thorn. The notes Wt’l‘é only rvidonce tha! firoperly had been ”(waived and uswl up for services or §upplies on public buildings Frnucht with Danger. Bank Note In Landed. (no longcravailshle.assets). The fivern- ment by the nature of the operation did not retain- an the notes went out, any property immediately convertible into coin with which to redeem its demand issues. They Were not a money based'on property: they were only a debt. 0n the other hand. a bank note is never issued (fraud, of course. excluded) except for a‘consideration in negotiable property of equal or greater value. The bank note comes forth as the sequel of a business transaction, and is based on the active property of the counâ€" try which is passing between pro‘ducers and consumers. This property is always negotiable and always equal to the duty or ‘ meeting the note liability. ’Bsnk notes are as sound. as the business transactions of . the country. The currency or the country. ‘ moreover, should increase as the transac- tions or the country increase: hence the rigid unchanging issues of the government make em an inelastic, part of the cir- cuiatio . while by the very process of their issue bank notes alone can be automatically adjusted to the changing transactions of the business community. The Commissioners’ Plan. In view of the scarcity of United States bonds they cannot long be regarded as a basis for circulation. Moreover, any bond security of a higher character yields a low rate of interest: and in time of stringency, when borrowers need loans and the mar- ket rate of interest is high, there is no inducement to buy these bonds to increase circulation. Hence, under the pro-sent sys- tem. when notes would be most needed, it is least protltablc to issue them. ‘While providing for a partial use of bonds for securing; notes (25 per cent, of‘thc capital) the commission proposed that notes be- yond this should be issued on all. instead of a part of. the resources of a bank: and after ten years that no Special bond security should be required; Banks may issue notes up to 60 per cent. of their capital without restraint; (or issues beyond 60 per cent. and up to 80 per cent. they pay a tax of I two per cent.: for those bEyond 80 per cent. and up to 100 per cent. they pay a tax of six per cent. These notes would be a 'prlor lien upon all the resources of the bank, and, in addition, upon the stock- hplders' liability. Moreover, all banks is- suing notes contribute five per cent. or their circulation as a permanent guaranty fund. li‘or daily redemptions, banks should keep a ilvevper cent. redemption fund in the hands of the comptroller or'the currency. Banks of $25,000 capital may be established in places or 4,000 inhabitants; and branches of banks are also permitted. ‘ Sale and l'nii’orl‘n Currency. It is apparent ,that the security to the noteliolder under the proposed plan is greater than usually suppoyd. if notes should be issued by all national banks to the amount of 80 pt-r cent. of their present capital, the security in the__form of tot.:l t1>..ets (omitting consideration of stockhold- .ei's' liability or a guaranty fund) is more than seven dollars to one dollar. In the 3.276 banks outside the reserve cities, the protection womd b:- $t3.it) to one dollar of notes. The greatest number of failures of banks occurred in l593: and yet the notes of those failed banks which did not realize at least :30 per cent. of their capital out of their resources formed only oneâ€"eighth of one per cent. of the proposed circulation. Had 80 per cent. of the capital of all na- tional banks been issued in notes upon the proposed plan. since the beginning of the national banking system in 1863, an as- sessment upon the banks annually of only one-forticth of one per cent. would have been necessary. moreover, instead of a tax on circulation, a tax of oneâ€"eighth of one per cent. on capital and surplus is pro- posed to cover the expenses of the system. Such a plan in general would furnish a safe. elastic. uniform and expanding curâ€" rcncy based on a iixed and certair/stand- ard. The Clerk’s Notice.

They will be exchanged for silver certificates of smaller denominations and the plates destroyed. As soon as new plates can be engraved a new series will be issued. It .is quite possible that thousands of the notes are in circulation. It is be- lieved at the treasury that the work was done by some one who was trained years ago in the government service. Jngravers at the bureau of printing and .engraying in this city nowadays do not prepare a wlhole plate, but duly a small section of one. and so do not get the training that the former workmen used to get. The present counterfeiter is an earnest and careful workman and shows a wonderful ability to copy deâ€" tails.

Tuesday morning another of the counterfeit notes was foum.l in one of the hanks, making in all six of the notes that have been found in this city in the past two weeks. As late as Mon- day afternoon one of the counterfeits was received at the custom house. The finding of the sixth note has stirred the cashiers and other banking officials here, and an industrious search is go~ in; on to bring to light all the notes of that character with a view of learn- ing to what extent the counterfeiting is prevalent.
