Then tbe Indiana opened from its forward turret with a 13-inch project ile, aud the effect of the ebot waa like that of the famous (hat effort of tbe great modern guna at Alexandria. The w alls of Moro seemed to go into vapor whero tbo immense projectiles struck. Kuiued masonry and mangled corpses told of tbe inadequacy of tho scrape and baatiousof olden daya to witbatand tbe assaults of modern armaments. Tbe lortresa aonu made reply, but the Giiog indicated a panic within tbe lorti ficatiouB. The tlret shot flew far to lee ward, bursting harmlessly.

Tbe iollowiog article in expl station ol the nationil banking system, written by Judge M. C. (ieorge, of Portland two or throe years ago, ia one of tbe best we even aaw pabllshed, and aa the question of national baoka ia again prominently before the )eople, w publish the same In lull. roriUA.vo, May 2. To tbo odltor,In these day a of popolietlc agl'atioo it seems neresaary occasionally to thresh again some of the old straw of tbt past. Na tional banks have jeen established about 30 years, Tbey look the place of the wild-cat state bank system, or lack of yavern raiuer, auu wuita imruaan aiiacKl nave caused tbe closest scrotiny into their merits, tbe undoubted benefits have disarmed criticism, and for yean repablcvaca sod democrats have goner all? approved and endorsed tbo system as the boat that bi ever Uen devised. It remains, however, for tbe so-called people's party in its faolt-flodiof cam- palgu to blindly aeek to poll it down. In une of their recent campaign books written by tbeir ex congressman, Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, in start ling headlines it porporti to tell "How bond-holders get tbe government money at 1 per cent to loao to lualwae men at from 8 to 30 per cent," etc. Pop nlista speakers are every where alleging that baoka borrow their money from tbe government at I per cent, and urge that aa a reason why tbe farmers ebould be allowed a like privilege on land, wheat. carrots and rutabaga" at 2 per cent. Tbey also favor the ieeue of paper money by tbo government to take tbe place of all national bank notes. This also seems to be largely tbo burden ol Governor I'ennoyei '4 political complaiut. Permit uio briefly to repeat w hat!every person ol intelligence on tbe subject already knows. The privilege of starting a national bank and issuing circulating notes, ia free to any live or mcrj pdiaoos in any city, in any county, any stale iu tbia Uniou w ho comply w ith its terms. To start Ibe smallest bank these bank people will have to have (59,000 in order to get $15. 000 of national bank uotss into circulation. To buy j0,C00 of 4 per cent toiled stales bonde, required to bo deposited to eccuro these uolce, at the pievaiuog premium 01 fl li1.., will re quire $37,250 aod the f 2:53 which baa to be deposited as reserve for note redemp tion at Washington makes op the afore said (59,500. Now, if, instead of putting this sum into a national bank, tbey loan it at 10 per cent (bey will receive 15050 per annum, Hut according to tbe talk now going on tbe bank people can make a much mora with this money by start ing a national bank when, aa the popu lists contend the bank people can draw double interest by getiing45,0O0 to loan out at usury, and sleo interest on tbeir bonds deposited. Now let us see. Tbey deposit the 150,000 bonds at Washington and draw out not one cent of mosey, Governor Pennoyer to tbe contrary, not withstanding. Tbey get blank notoa for 115,000, tbo government simply saying that if the bank officials, fill out, alga and issue any of these blanks, for value, that it will see that tbey will be redeem ed on demand aod to make tbe redeem ability doubly aure it holds tbe (50,000 bonds and tbe ruerre of 2250, with wbicb it can make tire guaranty good. Tbe (15,000 blank demand notoaj axe not money, and aa tbey come from tbe treasury to tbe bank, aro wortbleea in tbe market. Tbe bank officials sign them as their promises to pay on demand, and iaane them aa tbe debt ol the bank. (Jailing them bank bills, currency or money after tbe bank issues them doea not change the fact that tbey are simple tbe promissory note of tbo bank paytble on demand, on worth just aa much and no mere than any other promissory de mand note that Is wall secured They are cot legal tonder, but circulate aa money simple because everybody knows tbey are redeemable in cjin. The' gov ernment at the expense of tbe bail k prints these blanks for notes with tbe peculiar green ink used only by tbe gov ernment, and on secretly prepared paper and on plates that are bard to imitate, thus making a uniformity of appeareuce in the curreucy in common uee diuicu't to counterfeit, besides restricting beyond all question tho bank to the issue ol such notes only as tho government holds col lateral for aa security. ' Now let ua see how much the bauk makes. ' It draws tbe interest on its (50,000 4 per cent bonds, (ittQO. It loana out all its (45,000 notes, which of courte they seldom do, as no bauk desires to deplet 1 itaelf of all ita notes, aud if it loaus them all at 10 per cent iutereat it geta (430O more, making (0500 in all Out of this it baa t) pay the goverumeut a tax of 1 per cent per anuuin 00 its circulation, or (450, leaving (0050 or (100 per year tuoro lhau il it bad not goue into the bankiug bueiuess, but loaned Ita mouey at the curfeut rate oflOperceut. Hut banks muat pay a government tax of of 1 per cent on all ita deposits aud aj further like tax on such portiou of its capital stock aa is uot invested iu United biatea bonds. . If it were a simple question - of usury these bank people bad better loan tbeir (50,500 before getting a natloual bank charter tbau tbeir (15,000 circulating notes afterward. The truth ia just aa you uay iu your editorial, there ia no ex tra money lo ita circulating notes to the banks, sod tbey only do it becauae they bava to, and ia these times of idle money they ooly deposit bonds for tbe lowett amount repaired. The prevent Issue of (180,000,000 is Jast abont tbe minimum. Tbere are also many other requirement aod restriction on national banke. vtny ooitiey agree to tbero, gome one aaka? Because tbe prestige of belonging to the national bank system, the confl denne depositors and bnsioese man have ia governmental supervision, the fact that 00 one ever lost a dollar of their now ana numerous otber reasons prompt people, republicans, democrat and populia'j who want to do a banking business to do it aa national baoka rather toea aa state banks. To destroy them sw sreeli SS ths rcsUratica of t tat bank, ysfm aa various aa th law, or lack of law, lo the several states i lb Union, (Mat bank would toon by TOto secure the right of issuing circu lating note xoept In Oregoa where the coosutauon framed in tbe wisdom brought about by experience of . wild-cat Stat bsoks, prohibit it. Tb governmfcot would lo the elate ssd national lax which it now receiree from tbe national bank amounting to millions, and K 100 government estab lished fiat money in lion of national bask note it would deetroy a magnifi cent vstem aud substitute irredeemable paper for paper payable on demand, or else it would have to keep a idle mon ey, tbe reserve ttecraaary lo redeem it paper which thai hank 9 DOW bare to keep at their own loss of interest. Th flexibility of lb present system, its freedom o all, its safety, and aaving of lo ol .' exchange, aod many otber points might bo mentioned if apace per mitted. ., M.C. George. Drain Item.
