IVhal is 'ceild to Ii;rrnc Prosperity and Present wir Prcent Banking S) stem. WAsmxuro:.-, Nov. 2tf. The annual re port of tho comptroller of tho currency, shows that during tiie year ended Novem ber l,!.!, 101 banks have been organ ized, with an segregate capital of $10. 012.239. Circulating notes have been issued to thehe new associations amounting to ,WM,2:J0. Tho total number in exist ence November 1, 1881, was 2G71, the lurgeHt number in operation at any one time. Eleven national banks, with an aggregate capital of $1,235,000, have failed and been placed in the hands of receivers during the year. Different items of resources and liabilities as tabulated, indicate that the business of national banks during the past eleven years have generally increased. The items of Unit ed States bonds and circulation thereon have decreased during the past two years. Tho aggregate liabilities of na tional banks to depositors and corre spondents were reduced -during the year upwards of 91,000,000. This reduction of liabilities and general reduction of loans by banks, which amounted to over SG.,000,000 during tho year, tho comp troller says, was doubtless occasioned by the financial troubles in May nnd tho gen eral depression in business. During tho same period national banks increased their cash resources by about $21,000, (.00 in specie and $11,01)0,000 in legal ten- uers. aim i nr.ou amies ceruncates oi deposits for tho same. IJXflSJATION ALMOST MPEEATIVK, Tho total number of bunks still in op eration organza under mo act ot Juno 3. 1SG1, and tho provisions of the revised statutes, which will terminate unless hereafter renowed during tho years pre vious to 19 Ji), is 14a, with a capital of $321,101,145. and a circulation of $194. 715.305. The banks had, November 1, 1881. $155,001,100 in 3 per cent, bonds, payable at the pleasure of the govern ment, of wliioh $9,236,200 had been called for payment of interest ceasing Novem ber 1,'issi. If these bonds are not re placed by others bearing interest, there will lu iiii immediate reduction in the circulation 9J per cent, of their amount. On November 1 there were $191,19 J,509 in S per cent, bonds, piyable at the pleas ure of the government. These bonds will probably be paid within the next two 3 ears, even if considerable changes are made in the tariff, and from 1887 to 18J1, when 25t),0Jl),0W) of 4; p?r cents mature, ther. v.:ll b? no bonds which the government cm call m for redemp tion. No doubt tho accumulation of surplus revenue, if it continues to accruo at the present rate during the four years between 1837 and 1891, together with the revenues of 1892. will be more than suffi cient to pay off the 4' per cents; and from 1802 until 1807 it will be impossible for the government to use an of its sur plus revenues for the pa3ment of its bonds, except at the option of their hold ers. It is apparent that tho government cannot accumulate and hold its surplus revenues, oven during tho short period from 18S7 to 1892, without great disturb ance to thebusmessintercstsof tho coun try; and much less can it do so during the longer period from 1802 tol9J7. A SUGGESTION". It appears, therefore, that tho foregoing consideration should be given due weight iu any plan for funding 4 per cent, bonds maturing m 1907, and the comptroller therefore suggests that tho principal dif ficulties of the situation may perhaps be obviated as well as a reduotion of inter est effected, by funding these bonds into others, which shall mature in a propor tionate amount, at certain fixed inter vals. Thus $7oS,000,000 in 4 per cents might be funded into an equal amount of 3or2)j p?r cent, bonds one-fifth of which, or $147,000,000, would mature at inter vals of live years, and bo paid oil the 1st of July iu tho last year of each succeed ing period of fivo years, viz: 1S07, 1902, 1907, 1912 aud 1917. The average matur ity of those five classes of bonds would ha the same as that of tho present 4 per cents, viz: July 1, 1907. Whatever coursa may be deemed expe dient by congress in regard to the fund ing or future payment of tho public debt, the comptroller is of the opinion it is perfectly safe, aud will rfford great bene fit to the public to permit an issue by na tional banks of circulation to the ex tent of 100 per cent, of tho par value of bonis deposited, instead of 90 per cent. Even admitting that bonds representing tho public debt when funded at lower rates might, at a time in the future, be below par in the mar ket, the government would be forced to redeem the notes of insolvent national banks, and always have tho right to.can cel bonds on tho deposit securing the sauie, and thus extinguish an amount of its debt equal dollar for dollar to the notes redeemed. It is further submit ted that the profit on circulation may bs increased to a point which will induce banks to keep up their circulation to the maximum, nnd stop contracting thoir circulation, which is now occurring, by repsalmg tho law tax in" such circulation at tho rato of one- half of 1 per cent, semi-annually. The ex penses keeping up tho national banking system by the government aro at present paiu in pare irom ineprocecasoi mm tax, and in part by assessment on banks. If the taxes are abolished all these expenses should be paid by tho last named method. OPP03ED TO INFLATION. In concluding this subject tho comp troller wishes to have it distinctly under stood that he is not in favor of any meas ure which will cause inflation. He is of the opinion that the present ag gregate of pap?r circulation, made up of legal tender and national bank notesr and gold and silver certificates, is ample for all neous of business, He believes, however, that a suddon contraction of tho national circulation, which, without appropriate legislation, is imminent, will seriously embarrass the business of tho country, and that if this contraction is psrniitted to go on it may result in the entire discontinuance of the issue of notes by national banks. He believes that this form of currency, which can bo increased or diminished in accordance) with the natural' laws which control business, should be continued, in preference to any other now permitted by law. In regard to circulation based on silver, tho comptroller says tho people of the United States now hold paper circulation uased upon silver dollars equal in amount to more than one-third of the national oank circulation. If it is for tho best interests of the United States to issue circulation based upon silver, tho comp troller believes the circulation should be issued upon coin or bullion which con tains a sufficient number of grains of sil ver to havo tho intrinsic value equal in the markets of the world to its nominal value. Somo writers have suggested that the circulating medium might be based upon bullion, both gold and silver, and tho comptroller is of tho opinion that nn der certain restrictions and regulations it would be far raor? correct in principlo to issue silver certificates, based upon a deposit of silver bullion to bo valued in the exact proportion of silver to gold, than to continue tho issuo of certificates under tho present law, If this were done silver bara might be stamped at their mar ket value; and held in the treasury fortho redemption of certificates, which would call for an amount of silver equal in val ue to their nominal or face value, ex pressed in gold. Bullion represented by certificates should be periodically valued at its market prico in gold, and a certain proportionate amount of this "silver so held might perhaps bo coined to provide means for the redemption of certificates, if redemption wasdosired for business purposes.. OSHMITKD COINAGE NOT DE31KED. The comptroller believes that the usa of silver as money in this manner, nnd its periodical valuation, would havo more influence in appreciating the mnrket val neof silver among the nations of the world than the present arbitrary coinage of 412 grains of silver as a dollar. The issue of currency based upon silver should not, however, be unlimited, and the pres ent laws making tho prophase and coin age of a fixed amount or silver bullion mandatory are very pernicious in their effect, as the unlimited and continued is suance of "full legal tender" silver coin, and certificates based thereon, of intrin sic value less than their face, has already caused the hoarding of gold, and will eventually drive it from the channels of trade, thereby causing practically the suspension of gold payments. There are manv indications of this, notablv tho un easiness in financial circles in Juno and July last, caused by tho reserve of gold in the treasury falling so .near to the point at which, under the law, the issuance of gold certification ceases. It should also bo observed that during the present year national banks throughout the country havo increased their holdings of gold, in cluding certificates, in tho sum of 19, G15.350. Tho comptroller concludes his report with a discussion of the subject of bank examinations, and consideration of the financial troubles of May. 1881. Recruit Tor tho Indian School. Yesterday n hack drawn by four spir ited horses and driven by a pupil of the Forest Grove Indian school, with ser geant's chevrons on his arm, whirled up to the city jail. At that institution were waitinc Alex. Clarence and Carrio Dun- oan, three half-breeds from near Skipanon, Clatsop county, who were on their way to tho school at Forest Grove. The turnout attracted somo attention, ;nd tho driver seemed very proud of his spirited team and handled tho ribbons liko a thorough bred. He stated that tho hack ho drove had been luade throuchout by the pupils of the Indian school, and it certainly re flects great credit on the mechanics of that institution. I be new pupils, a boy of 1G, another of 10, and a girl of 14, havine taken their seats in the hack were whirled rapidly off to their new home, where is is probablo that they will pass many pleasant and prohtable days.
