This commission shall have leral tender notes printed at the bureau of enpravinp and priutine. whica notes shall be legal leaders , public and private , and shall "be redeemable ia coin- Such notes shall be issued to any solvent bank havinjr a paid-up canital of over fii- 003 on the deposit of certain bonds reouired by tne act. These bonds may be either F'nitod Stales or those tif a state parish or city with a population of 50.000 , when the bonds haw been at par for two years and all interest is paii ap. The eireulatiiur notes are exempted from the 10 pr cent tax on state bank issues , and the bands are also exempted from all taxation , federal or locaL Banks depositing other than national bonds may receive J 3 per cent in notes. The United States assumes all responsibility for the re demption of the notes. The banks must cuarantee the payment of bonds deposited , and all the assets of the bank are liable therefor. On notes issued to the amount of one-half of the capital stock , the bank must pay a tax of 1 per ceat per annum : on an addi tional :25 per cent , a 2 per ceat tax is imposed , and on the remainna- per cent a 4 per cent tax will be rftjurrftd. Ample provision is made lor retiring- currency and its can cellation. The faith and credit of the United States are pledged to tbs redemption in com. on do- siand of the national currency notes and a reserve fund in coin is provided , equal to 20 per cent of the ou'.staatlinc notes. Mr. Springer , in explanation of the pro visions of the bill , said : "The object which I nave bad in view is to secure a safe and lasting currency which shall be equal , at ali times and unoer all circumstances , to the wants of trade and commerce and ot uni form value throughout the United states. and shall be maintained at par by beinjrcon- trovertibJe into coin on demand. The na tional currency wbich would be furnished under this bill would have the followine ar- vantaces over a currency which would ba furnished throueh the iastruraentality of state ban ks : "First. Tne notes would be easily racnir- nized. absolutely at par and distributed in every part of the United Slates. They would be legal tender in the payment of debts , anil not liable to local or national taxation , except as prescribed by the bill. "Second. If there should be any redun dancy in such notes they would be returned to the United States and cancelled and could not be issued in excess of the wants of trade o as to innate prices by reason of the fact tbat at all times they would be convertible into coin on duniana. Third , > one of the hanks , state or nationaLlQrouch which they would be issued , would be required to maintain any reserve fund whatever for their redemption and this weald get fortnem the full benefit of the circulation , which would be furnished ttiem on deposit of the bonus required ia the act.
