Mr. Jitter, otNew York, opposed the Ml!, saying that it would be tbo first step toward overthrowing the system of banking in this country. v Mr. H-wltt, of New York, opposed the MePherson bill. It was the result of an erroneons belief that there had, been during the last gear a contraction of the currency. The comptroller of the currency*! report estimated the net decrease of the bank circulation at $51,174,676, but it was a. fact that the coinage of silver represented by silver certificates was exactly $24,000,000. The bank currency, therefore, had been driven out of circulation by currency of superior power, and lost its placi because there was no uso for According'to the last bank statcmont there were $47,OJO,UOO over and above the legal reserve required to secure thj bill holders.
