Mr. Stewart pointed out that there are two kinds of banks in the | United States--National and State; | But as the latter labored under the | disadvantage of a ten per cent. tax upon their circulation issue, he con fined his comparisons to the United | States National banks. A national | bank can be organized in the Unit ed States with a capital of $25,000, one-half of which has to be put in| cash, but the statement of directors | to that effect is accepted. The on ly real guarantee is that it must hold | United States bonds to the extent | of at least $6,250. on the o other hand, have a minimum $250,000 is required by the Domin- ion Government in gold, which is returned afterwards. A bona fide subscription of &500,000 stock which has a double liability is also required. Therefore, the people of Canada have the assurance of at least $1,000,000 of capital, fourth of which is paid in gold be fore a bank can open its doors. The Canadian system of branch banks possess a decided superiority over the United States system of many small and independent banks | standing alone without any branches | These branches gave to all districts | one of the country in which they were | located equal privileges, distribut ing the wealth of the country equal ly, thus keeping the rate of interest | at normal. It also gave to rural communities the benefit of the as-| sistance of trained bankers, where as under the national bank system the banker frequently has no tech- nical experience or training at all, 'I'he note circulation of Canadian banks is limited to the extent of its paid-up capital and there is behind it the double liability of the share- holders. The great essentials of a banking system with regard to its currency is safety and elasticity. In the United States the whole wealth of the nation is behind the national banks.
