The packers nro evidently in possession of

comptroller of the currency to require Hie
lunik to substitute interest-beating bonds
for bonds now on deposit. It is not open
to question t lint the bunds deposited bi
ll national bunk to secure its circulation
must be interest-bearing, nt the time
the deposit is made. On that
point the law is explicit, it. would
t-eeni to be equally clear that whatever
purpose congress had in view in reuniting
that the bonds deposited liy national
banks should be iiiterest-lioariuj, Ihatpur
poso bus continued tlie same from IUj first
Inn on the saino subject, iu 1803, down to
the present time, there being un absonee of
any legislative declaration of change til in
tention in that particular. Iu resolving
the question whether it is essential to the
nlul deposit of bonds by a national bank
that the bonds deposited should be inter
est beating during the whole tune, o de
posit, it may assist us to read tlie act of
1803, under which the national bank sys
tem was introduced, iu the light of circum
stances in which it was passed. The seero
tary has already mentioned the support to
public credit which may bo expected from
proposed associations. The imp rtnnco
ot this point tuny excuse some uddilioual
observiilions. The organization us pro
posed, il sanctioned by congress, would re
quire, within n very few years, for deposit
ns security for circulation, bonds of tho
United Stntes to an amount not less than
$250,000,000. It mny well be expected, in
deed, since circulation, by uniformity in
credit, and value, and rapacity ol quick
nnd cheap transportation will bo likely to
be used moro extensively than any hith
erto issued, thnt the demand Ior bonds will
compass this limit. Should congress see
fit tii restrict tlie privilege of deposit totho
bonds known ns the five-twenties uutlior
ized by act of tho last session, the demand
would promptly absorb all of that descrip
tion already issued mid make largo room
for 111010. A steady market for bonds
would then bo established, and the nego
tiation of them greatly facilitated, llut it
is not in immediate results that the value
of tins support would be only or chielly
seen. I hern nre ulways holders who desire
to sell securities of whatever kind. If buy-
eis are few or inircrtuiu, tho market value
must decline. llut tho nlnii proposed
would create a constant demand einmlliiij
nnd oft.Mi exceeding the' supply. Thus a
steady uniformity in price would be main
tained, nnd generally at rates somewhat
above those of bonds of equal credit, but
not available to bunking associations. It
is not easy to nmircJulu tho full bcncfitsol
such conditions to a government obliged to'
borrow. The conclusion arrived nt, niimo
ly, that it wns the intention of congress
thnt the deposits of bonds by national
banks should bo kept iutorcst-benriiii! dur
ing the whole period of deposit, would, It
correct, seem to bo rendered iibsolutely
certain by an net of July, 1882, "To una
ble national banking associations to ex tend
tlieir corporate existence, uud for o'lher
purposes. Section D provides tlmt any
imtiomil bunk may, on depositing lawful
money with the treasurer of tho
United States Withdraw a proportionate
amount of United Stales bonds on deposit,
subject, howovcr, to theproviso, 'Thnt not
more than $3,000,000 shall be deposited
during any calendar month for this pur
pose,' uud to tho further proviso, 'That
tho provisions of this section shall not ap
ply to bonds called for redemption by tho
secretary of the trensury nor to tlio with
drawn! of circulating notes iu consequence
thereof. This Inngllago, it would scorn.
leaves no doubt that it wns tlio intunlinn
of congress tlmt when bonds deposited to
secure circulation of a bank mo culled for
redemption, tho pnvmnut of them means
the retiring of tlio circulation they secure,
unless, indeed, tho bunk, ns It 11111 v In w.
fully do, should muko a new deposit of nn
ndcquii ton mount of interest. ln-uriie' humid.
Jt follows then that unless tho First Nn

terest-bearing bonds for tho cxistim? de
posit of bonds railed for redemption, the
proceeds olthe hitter must bu unolled to
louring 1110 tircuiaiion secured by it.

Mr. 1'iesidcut: The scene upon which
this vast assemblage la collected displays iv
transaction in hu'iiim n Hairs which llndsj
no precedent nor rec.rd in tin- past, nor In
the long future, wo feel assured, will it ever
confront its counterpart or parallel. How
can we fitly frame iu words tho sentiments,
tho motives, the emotions which have filled
uud moved the hearts nnd the minds of
two great nations, iu tho birth of the noble
conception, the grand embodiment, tho
complete execution of this stupeuduoim
monument now unveiled to the ailinirlm:
guio of men, and emblazoned iu its corona
tion of the finished woik, witli the plaudits
of tho world. What ornaments of speech,
what, eloquence of human voice, what cost
ly gifts of gold, franklncenso and in.irrh of
our heart's tribute can wo bring iu tlio cole
liration of this consummate triumph, of
gems, of skill, of labor, which speaks to-day
nnd will speak forovcr, the thoughts, the
feelings, the friendship of theso two popu
lous, powerful und free republics, knit to
gether in their pride and joy in tlieir own
established freedom and iu tlieir hope and
purpose Hint tho glad light of liberty tdiall
enlighten tho woild? The genius, the cour
age, tho devotion of spirit, the indomitabls
will of tho great sculptor, Hurtholdi, whoso
well-oarned faiiui justified the trust com
mitted to him, have together wrought out
iu stubborn brnss uud iron the artist's
dream, the uiry conception of his mind,
the shapely sculpture of his cunning hand,
till hem it stands upon its firm base, ns If
a natural playmate of tho elements! fear

with our own; the whole means tor tho
great expenditures of tho work luivo como
from free enntrii utlous of the pcoplo them

both nations may justly point to a greater,
a nobler monument in the history aud pro

delegated to nnd executed by Minister Mor

tlio United States, who hnvo completed the
pedestal nnd raised thereon tlm statue,
and the voluntary committee who hnvo
executed tho will of their follow-cltizons, I
declare, in your presence, und iu the pres

and of the countless multitude, that this
pedestal and tho united work of tho two
republics is completed nid surrendered to

In accepting tlio statue, President CIoyo
Innd said'
Tho pcoplo of the United States ncccpt
witli gratitddo from their brethren of tho
French republic the grand nnd completed
work of art we here inaugurate. This tokon
of the affection and consideration of tho
people of Franco demonstrates the kinship
of republics und conveys to us tho assur
ance Hint iu our elforls to commend tho
maintained excellence of a government
resting upon the popular will, wo still hnvo
beyond tho American continent a stead
fast ally. Wo are not horo to-dny to bow
hoforo tho representation of a fierce nnd
warlike god, filled with wrath and ven
gennce, but we joyously contemplate our'
own Doity keeping watch and ward hoforo
the open gates of Amoiica, and, grenter
than nil that have been celohrated iu an
cient Troy, instead of grasping in hor
hand the thunderbolts ot terror and ol
death, sho holds uloft tho light which Il
luminates thn way to man's enfranchise
ment. Wo will not forgot Hint Liberty hns
heio made her home. Nor shall her chosen
altar be nogloeted. W lllng votaries will
constantly keep nllvo its lires, und theso
shall gleam upon the shores of our sister
republic in the east, and reflected thenco
Mid, joined with answering rnys, a stream
of light shall plerco the darkness of Ignor
ance and man's oppression, until Liberty
enlightens tho world.

You nro right, American citizens, to bo
