The Baltimore BlcHl, now practically endorsed by President Cleveland, is attracting universal at ten ion because it is based on the evident fact that the currency anil banking systems of the country must be reformed. But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It give the associated bunks the power to expand the currency and relieve the country. It also gives them the power to contract it at will and create widespread disiress for their own private gain. It puts the credit of the government behind every bank note. It donates all but half of one per cent of the piotit on the note issue of the banks, and it leaves plenty of opportunities fora Napoleon of Finance to wreck a bank and leave the government to pav the notes. 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 modera’e capital. Contrast with this TBE HILL BANKING SYSTEM. In “Money Found,” an exceedingly valuable and instructive book. Hon. Thomas E. Hill proposes that the govern ment open its own bank in every large town or county seat in the United States, pay 3 per cent on long time deposits, receive deposits snbject to check without interest, and loau money al the uniform rate as 4 per cent to every one offering security worth double the 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 plan would be still worse off. In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest the bankers, the Hill Banking System is ly the interest, of (he people. ’** Considc* them both, and ask your congret»au<*u to vote for the tone you believe in. *V 1* lhb ofic6 i P»f** Cover 25c; Cloth 50c.
