w in in u hurry about it I would not wait for

buy 4 per cunts for my secuiity ana fee

isJled that the bill givmc the banks the par
value of the bonds deposited will be passed ,
and probably with the Cannon umend
nient reducing the required circula
tlon to $10 000 for each bank
Hut there is n fear nnd trembling nmong
man ) members having nntl national bunk
constituencies , and they will support the bill
moro freely uml generally by delay I hey
do not want to answer to the charge of
having voted for legislation in favor of
n itlonnl banks the very first thing they did
After some other legislation and tlio mere
bers have had time to study the situation
and proposition and to see the necessity for
such legislation lain conlldont it will pre
v ail It is wonderful bow much blind preju
dice there Is against tbo national banking
system The men who are always com
plaining about b scarcity of mouoy and high
rates of interest are always the ones to prate
against legislation to relieve the distress in
national banking and the money supply
Just how we c in make money cboaper than
ib now proposed by some banking bills I can
