BTeonrltlea, Guaranteed by too Oov
enunrn t A uracla Interest Becawe
of LikeUliood of Passage Over
Large Number of Similar Measure.
Washington, Feb. 1. The reply of
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island to
critic of hi banking and currency
bill, introduced by hire as a measure
to provide relief In Urn of financial
st res by allowing th national bank
to lasue emergency currency on cer
tain approved securities and guaran
teed by the government, was made to
day. It excited widespread interest be
cause th bill is supposed to bar
th best opportunity of passing, of th
number of bill offered this session.
Many financial critics declare that the
bill affords no substantial relief. Al
drich reviews the situation in an able
atyl.
Ben tor -Aldrich spoke In th sen
ate today In defense and explanation
of hi banking bill. H reviewed the
panto of 10. It waa not a currency
panic, in the true sense of the word.
for the United State currency. In
character, Is beyond question.
Th amount of money in circulation
at that time In th hand of the peo
ple outside of the bank and treasury
was $11.16 per capita, much larger
per capita than was held by the peo
ple of any other commercial country
in the world, except France, where
condition are entirely different
Under ordinary condition the
volume of currency could be fairly
criticised as excessive and certainly
adequate to meet the normal de
mands. But no provision for an
emergency which occurs more or less
frequently In every country and which
we now see must be provided for.
It 1 Impossible to estimate the
lone Inflicted by the suspension of
payment by the banks in the recent
disturbance. There waa financial m
barraasment on every hand, thousands
were thrown out of employment and
the wage of employe were reduced.
"Of tha five expedients adopted to
meet the emergency the use of clear
ing house certificates was unqustlon
ably th most effective.
"This wa tha eighth time their
use has been beneficial, at times pre
venting serious disaster, but they re
sulted this time In such disarrange'
ment of the exchange a to make It
doubtful whether the disadvantages
were not greater than the' benefits.
The great losses the people of the
country suffered through the partial
breakdown of our credit system and
which the abnormal Increase in vol
ume of money legal and Illegal, fall
ed to avert ahould lead congress se
riously to consider whether It Is pos
sible that legislation will prevent a
recurrence.
If 'the panic ahould be repeated
the methods of relief used In 1207
should not be available, the treasury
would not be In condition to come to
the relief. It would be impossible to
Increase the national bank notes on
states bonds and may not be able to
command the large important ones,
the gold suspension of bank payment
with the resultant strain on the credit
of the country would not be tolerated
again. -
No one can predict what the finan
cial conditions will be by autumn.
Some urge th entire revision of our
monetary system, some the establish
ment of a central bank or issue.
personally, I think the states in
time will adopt the latter system, but
in the Immediate future it is out of
the question. Therefore, the entire
finance committee agreed upon a de
mand for the Issue of emergency
note. -
The minority favored the United
State note. The majority felt this
would establish a dangerous prece
dent and "the approval of their Issue
even for temporary purposes would
lead ultimately to a demand for th
continual enlargement whenever
reasonable pretext would be found.
"It was believed, since . national
bank notes with their convertablllty
guaranteed by the government, have
the confidence of the American peo
ple, it would be prudence to use this
form of currency.
"Germany, England and Austro-
Hungary follow this plan in a gen
era! way. The oommittee felt that
Germany' precedent waa th safest
to follow.
"There the Imperial bank la directly
under the control of the government
and has the authority to issue $112,'
000,000 in notes not covered by specie.
Further, the issue of an authorised
eaual to the amount of specie held
and still a further amount subject to
a 6 per cent tax per year.
"Against this ' last named specie
must be held to . one-third of th
amount, gold bills of exchanging hold'
Inm against . the remaining two-
thirds.
- The bill reported by the oommittee
provides for the possible issue .In
emergencies of $500,000,000 in notes
to be Identical in character to 10 or
other national bank notes, secured
by state bonds.
Th bank will b required to de
posit with th tats', treasury, mu
nicipal, state or first class railroad
bonds. On th state and municipal
bond they will be entltrel to 20 per
cent in notes; on railroad to It per
cent
At any time within 42 hour th

excitement,"
Th bill (Imply give the bank th
right to accomplish by legal methods
that which they felt necessary in th
recent crisis to accomplish by Illegal
methods.
Aldrich grew sarcastic In referring
to the objection of the bill on bank
earnings. He said he must confess
that th committee did not try to de
vise a plan to increase them.
"In the recent panle there wa a
general suspension of cash payment
by bank," he Mid. "This is a vio
lation of every banking law. But th
bank manager ahould realize that
th extraordinary forbearance of the
people would not be repeated.
"Our recollection for th past
three month ar too definite to lis
ten with patience to or discussion by
officer of th bank In large cities
as to whether th remedies proposed
by congress should result in targe ad
dition to their dividend.
I do not Intend to place a premi
um on that kind of bank manage
ment which propose to make a fnan.
ctal disturbance and disaster a source
of profit.
"The securities named find univer
sal acceptance In th settlement of
obligations. . No securities except
United Ststes bonds have better credit
and standing in financial circle a to
asserting that th government should
not exact from the banks a pledge of
definite 100011116."
That It la safe to accept general
credit and assets a security, Aldrich
said, 1 sufficient answer thst the
banks don't follow this rule dealing
with each other. The clearing house
require carefully selected securities
on which they advance 71 per cent of
the value. "
