Ihe Baltimore Pl fill, now practically endorsed by President Cleveland, is attracting universal alien ion because it is based on the evident fact that the currency ami banking systems of the country must be reformed. But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It give the associated banks the power to expand the currency and relieve the.count ry . It also gives them the power to contract it at wilt and create widespread distress for their own private gain. It puls Hie credit of the government behind every Lank note. It donates all but half of one per cent of ihe p ofil. on the note issue of the banks, and it leaves plenty of oj ,>or lunitiesfora Napoleon of Finance Io wreck a bank and leave the government to pay the note . , It leaves the banks free to demand the highest interest that the several states will allow, and afford no relief to farmers and business men of moderate capual. Contrast with this THE HILL BANKING SYSTEM. In ’‘Money Found.” an exceedingly valuable and instructive book. Hon. Thomas E. Hill proposes that the government open its own bank in every large town or county .-mil in the United States, pay 3 per cent on long time deposits, receive deposits subject to check without interest, and ;<>y,u money at the uniform rate as 4 per cent to every one offering security worth double th** amount of the loan. This plan is not an expense to the government, but a source of large revenue. It secures the government amply, which the Baltimore plan does not. It relieves the distress of the common people, which the Baltimore plan does not. It protects not only note holders but depositors, who are unsecured now under the Baltimore pun would be si ill worse off. In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest of the. bankers, the Hill Banking {System is in ihe interest of thepenpie. Consider thorn both, and ask your congressman vote for the <• ..e you believe in.
