REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

These banks are located by geographical divisions, as follows: Eastern States 4 banks, with capital of $400,000; Middle States, 20, with
capital of $2,895,000; Southern States, 21, with capital of $2,425,000;
Western States, 76, with capital of $9,473,000; Pacific States, 8, with
capital of $725,000; Territories, 16, with capital of $1,020,000.
Since the establishment of the national banking system, on February
25,1863, there have been organized 3,406 national banks. Of these 432
have gone into voluntary liquidation for the purpose of winding up their
affairs; 79 have gone into voluntary liquidation for the purpose of reorganization; 64 are in liquidation by expiration of their charter, of which
number 38 have been reorganized; and 104 have been placed in the hands
of receivers for the purpose of closing up their affairs; leaving the total
number in existence 2,727, on November 1,1885, which is the largest number that has been in operation at any one time.
The corporate existence of 864 national banks expired during the year
ending November 1, 1885, of which 801 have been extended under the
act of July 12, 1882. Forty-eight have permitted their corporate existence to expire, and are in liquidation under section 7 of said act (32 of
which have been succeeded by other banks located in the same places,
and with nearly the same shareholders), and 13 have been placed in
voluntary liquidation by vote of shareholders owning two-thirds of their
stock, of which 7 were succeeded by other banks. The remaining 2
became insolvent, and were placed in the hands of receivers. The corporate existence of 14 national banks, with an aggregate capital of
$4,450,000, will expire during November and December of this year;
and the corporate existence of 18 national banks, with an aggregate
capital of $3,135,000, will expire during 1886. Four national banks,
with an aggregate capital of $600,000, have failed and been placed in
the hands of receivers during the year.
Under the provisions of the act of July 12, 1882, national banks with
a capital of from $50,000 to $150,000 may be organized upon a minimum
deposit of United States bonds equal to 25 per cent, of such capital.
The minimum deposit of bonds required by law to be made by banks
with a capital of upwards of $150,000 is $50,000. The following table
shows the number of banks organized from July 1,1882, to July 1,1885,
their capital stock, amount of bonds deposited in accordance with law,
and the circulation issued thereon:

An examination of the foregoing table shows that 611 banks have
been organized between the dates above given, with a capital of
$61,701,300; that they have deposited $15,125,300 of bonds, upon which
circulation to the amount of $13,612,770 has been issued. The minimum deposit of bonds, as required by law for said banks is $12,232,750,
and it will be seen that while the actual deposit has in the aggregate
exceeded the minimum, yet this excess has steadily decreased during
the three years covered by the table. The excess above the required
minimum of bonds deposited from July, 1882, to July, 1883, was 28 per
cent, of the total deposit. From July, 1883, to July, 1884, this excess
was 14 per cent, only of the total deposit, and from July, 1884, to July,



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

1885, the excess was still further diminished to 8 per cent. This shows
conclusively that the banks organized between the periods named have
not been induced to enter the system on account of the profit to be derived from the issue of circulating notes, but because it was believed by
their managers that they would have a better credit and standing with
the public under the national bank act than as State or private banks.
It is also to be noted that the reduction by the act of July 12, 1882,
of the minimum amount of bonds to be deposited by national banks of
$150,000 capital and under to one-quarter of their capital stock has
had a tendency to increase the organization of small banks throughout
the country. While the number of banks organized from July 1, 1870,
to July 1, 1882, with a capital of $150,000 and under was 232, the number of banks of this class organized from July 1, 1882, to July 1, 1885,
was 548, These small banks have in many instances been organized to
take the place of private banking firms and small State banks, particularly in the West, Northwest, and Southwest. It is believed that this
change is to the advantage of the public, as the majority of these banks
were previously carrying on a banking business without being subject
to an examination of their affairs, and without the security given by the
publication of sworn statements of their condition, to which supervision
and requirement they will be subject under the national bank act.
Under the present law, the minimum deposit of bonds required to be
made by the 2,714 national banks in operation in the United States on
October 1, 1885, would be but $80,970,423 in order to continue as national banking associations. A table has been prepared and will be
found in the Appendix, showing for the national banks in each State,
Territory, and reserve cities, the minimum amount of bonds required
by law, the bonds actually held, and the circulation issued thereon
October 1, 1885. This table also shows the increased amount of circulation which the national banks might issue in the event of the passage
of a law authorizing them to issue circulation equal to the par value ot
their bonds on deposit.
It is believed that the national banking system will be continued
even if the associations organized under it cannot issue circulation at
a profit, inasmuch as the experience under it has shown it is for the best
interests of the public, as well as of the banks, that this business should
be carried on under a general law having effect throughout all the different States. This statement is made without prejudice to banks organized
under the statutes of those States which contain provisions and restrictions similar to those of the national banking law. In many of the
States, however, the banking laws are defective, and it is evident that
the legislation upon the subject cannot be homogeneous, nor the working of the laws so harmonious and useful under statutes passed by
thirty-eight States as under one general law of Congress applicable to
all banking institutions.
EXTENSION OF THE CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF NATIONAL BANKS.

The original national currency act of February 25, 1863, provided
in section 11 that banks organized under its provisions should have
succession for a period of not exceeding twenty years from the date of
said act, as follows:
Every association formed pursuant to the provisions of this act may make and
use a common seal, and shall have succession by the name designated in its articles
of association, and for the period limited therein, not however exceeding twenty
years from the passage of this act.



8

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

Under the provisions of this act 488 banks were organized, of which
88 had ceased to exist prior to January 1, 1882, leaving 400 still in operation on that date. Of these, 314 were extended under the act of
July 12,1882, 72 were succeeded by other associations with the same or
different names, 12 went out by voluntary liquidation or expiration of
corporate existence without successors, and 2 were placed in the hands
of receivers. The corporate existence of 297 of these banks expired on
February 25, 1883, and 270 were then extended 5 while 103 expired previous to that date, of which 44 were extended.
,
The national bank act of June 3, 1864, superseding that of February
25,1863, provides in section 8 that each national bank shall have succession for twenty years from the date of its organization, that is, from
the date of its organization certificate. This section was embodied in
section 5136, Kevised Statutes, now in force, which is as follows:
Upon duly making and filing articles of association and an organization certificate,
the association shall become as from the date of execution of its organization certificate a body corporate, and as such and in the name designated in the organization
certificate, it shall have power: First, to adopt and use a corporate seal; second, to
have succession for a period of twenty years from its organization, unless it is sooner
dissolved according to the provisions of its articles of association, or by the act of its
shareholders owning two-thirds of its stock, or unless its franchise becomes forfeited
by some violation of law.

Anticipating the fact that a large number of national banks would
expire by limitation during the years 1882 and 1883, the Comptroller of
the Currency, in his annual report for 1881, recommended that an act
be passed providing that any national bank might, with the approval
of the Comptroller, at any time within two years prior to the date of
expiration of its corporate existence, extend its period of succession for
twenty years by amending its articles of association.
In accordance with this recommendation, a bill was introduced soon
after the assembling of the Forty-seventh Congress, and was referred
to the Committee on Banking and Currency, and by that committee reported to the House, and after considerable discussion, passed on May
30, 2882, by a vote of 125 to 67.*
The bill was amended in the Senate in many particulars, and passed
that body June 22, 1882, by a vote of 34 to 14.t It subsequently
passed the House July 10,1882, upon a report of conference committee,
yeas 110, nays 79, not voting 101,$ and received the approval of the
President July 12, 1882.
Prior to the passage of this act the right of shareholders of national
banks whose corporate existence was about to expire, to organize under
the national bank act new associations with the same names, in order to retain as far as possible their business and the prestige of their
names, which had become known throughout the country, was in doubt,
and inasmuch as there was then no statute permitting the extension of
their corporate existence, the opinion of the Attorney-General was requested on this point, and on the 23d of February, 1882, an opinion
was given, in which he said:
1
The present national banking laws do not forbid the stockholders of an expiring
corporation from organizing a new banking association, nor from assuming the name
of the old corporation, with the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, and in
the absence of any prohibition to that effect, no legal obstacle to the formation of a
new association by such stockholders, and the adoption of the name, of the old association, would in my opinion exist.

EEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

As there was some uncertainty in regard to the passage by Congress
of the act for the extension of the corporate existence of national banking associations, fifty banks gave notice of liquidation, and in most instances new associations were organized with the same titles and the same
stockholders as those which had been placed in liquidation. A proviso
attached to section 5 of the act of July 12,1882, requires that in the organization of any banking association, intended to replace any existing
banking association and retaining the name thereof, the holders of
stock in the expiring association shall be entitled to preference in the
allotment of the shares of the new association in proportion to the number of shares held by them respectivelv in the expiring association.
Under the act of July 12,1882, nearly all of the banks then in existence which were organized under the act of February 25,1863, extended
their corporate existence during the following months:
July, 1882
August, 1882

On November 1, 1885, 885 banks organized under the act of June 3,
1864, had been extended, making, with the 314 extensions of banks organized under the act of February 25,1863, 1,19& associations the corporate existence of which has been extended under the act of July 12,
1882. In the Appendix will be found a table showing the distribution
and capital of these banks by States. During the year ending November 1, 1885, the periods of succession of 864 banks organized under
the act of June 3, 1864, terminated. Of these, 801 have already extended their corporate existence, 5 were placed in voluntary liquidation

by the vote of stockholders owning two-thirds of their stock, 15 were
permitted by their stockholders to close at the end of their periods of
succession, 4 were placed in the hands of receivers, and 39 were succeeded by other associations with different names but with the same
shareholders, wholly or in part. From November 1 to December 31,
1885, 14 banks will expire, all of which have applied in due form for
extension.
Among the banks extended during the year were 30 in the city of
New York, with an aggregate capital of $35,350,000, as well as a large
number in Boston, Philadelphia, and other principal cities, being some
of the largest banking institutions in the United States. It is also interesting to note that many of the banks extending during the past
year were originally organized under the various State laws, and the
continuation of their existence under the national banking system indicates their belief that it is for their best interests to do business under
the general banking laws of the United States.

periods of succession terminated between November 1, 1884, and November 1, 1885, are shown by the following table, which also indicates

It will be seen from the foregoing statements that a larger number of
national banks expired by limitation during the year ending November
1, 1885, than have or will expire during any other year between the
passage of the act of July 12, 1882, and the year 1900.
The additional labor entailed upon this office by the extension of so
large a number of banks in so short a period of time has been very considerable, it being necessary in all instances to carefully examine the
original articles of each association as well as the amendments and the
signatures of assent of the shareholders thereto. On account of section
6, which provides that new circulating notes shall be issued to each
extended association, duplicate accounts have necessarily been opened
upon the books of this office with every extended bank, and in accordance with the third section of the act it has been necessary that a special
examination should be made of each bank to determine its condition, as
before granting a certificate of approval for extension to any association



EEPOET OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

the Comptroller must be satisfied that its capital is UDimpaired and that
it is otherwise in a sound condition.
It appears to be a matter of congratulation to the friends of the national banking system that the associations, the original periods of succession of which have terminated, have up to this time as a rule decided
to continue in business, notwithstanding the fact that very little if any
profit can be made upon circulation under the present provisions of the
law and the prevailing high prices of Government securities.
The provisions of the act for the extension of the corporate existence
of national banks in the main appear to be admirably suited for that
purpose. Those of the first and second sections, which provide that the
period of succession may be extended by simply amending the articles
of association, by the consent in writing of shareholders owning not
less than two-thirds of the capital stock, are simple and easily carried
out by the banks.
Section 3, which provides for a special examination of the association
in order to determine its condition, is also well adapted for the purpose.
That part of section 4 which provides that the extended bank shall
continue to be in all respects the identical association it was before the
extension of its period of succession prevents any break or disturbance
in its business, enables the bank to retain its surplus fund, and is especially useful in the matter of any litigation for collection of assets, title
to property, &c.
It would, however, appear that some of the provisions of section 5
might be amended with advantage to the public. Said section is as
follows:
SEC. 5. That when any national banking association has amended its articles o*
association as provided in this act, and the Comptroller has granted his certificate of
approval, any shareholder not assenting to such amendment may give notice in
writing to the directors, within thirty days from the date of the certificate of approval, of his desire to withdraw from said association, in which case he shall be
entitled to receive from said banking association the value of the shares so held by
him, to be ascertained by an appraisal made by a committee of three persons, one to
be selected by such shareholder, one by the directors, and the third by the first two j
and in case the value so fixed shall not be satisfactory to any such shareholder, he
may appeal to the Comptroller of the Currency, who shall cause a reappraisal to be
made, which shall be final and binding; and if said reappraisal shall exceed the
value fixed by said committee, the bank shall pay the expenses of said reappraisal,
and otherwise the appellant shall pay said expenses; and the value so ascertained
and determined shall be deemed to be a debt due, and be forthwith paid, to said
shareholder, from said bank ; and the shares so surrendered and appraised shall,
afttr due notice, be sold at public sale, within thirty days after the final appraisal
provided in this section : Provided, That in the organization of any banking association intended to replace any existing banking association, and retaining the name
thereof, the holders of stock in the expiring association shall be entitled to preference in the allotment of the shares of the new association in proportion to the number of shares held by them respectively in the expiring association.

Provision is thus made to ascertain the value of shares of non-assenting shareholders, by an appraisal to be made by a committee of three
persons, one to be selected by the non-assenting shareholder, one by the
directors, and a third by the first two. But if the bank does not heed
the notice of withdrawal and declines to appoint a person to serve on
the committee of appraisal, there is no penalty for such neglect, and
apparently the shareholder's only remedy is by a suit in some court of
competent jurisdiction. I therefore conclude that some provision should
be made for the enforcement of this section. Provision is also made, in
case the value of the sharesfixedby the committee of appraisal is not satisfactory to the shareholder, that he may appeal to the Comptroller of the
Currency, who shall cause a reappraisal to be made, which shall be final



12

EEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

and binding. No provision is, however, made for an appeal on the part
of the bank, where the valuation fixed by the committee is not satisfactory to it. I have to recommend, therefore, that the section be amended
to obviate this defect.
Provision is further made that after the appraised value has been
paid to the shareholder, as provided by law, and the shares surrendered,
the same shall, after due notice, be sold at public sale within thirty
days after the final appraisal. It appears that in many cases thirty
days is not sufficient time for the bank to realize a fair price for shares
which it is thus compelled under the law to purchase, and inasmuch as
section 5201 of the Bevised Statutes provides that stock purchased or
acquired to prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted in good
faith may be sold at any time within six months from the date of its
purchase, at public or private sale, it would seem that the law should
grant at least as long a period for the sale of the stock which an association is compelled to take from a retiring stockholder under the act of
extension, and the Comptroller recommends an amendment to this
effect.
Section 6, which relates to the circulation of extended associations, is
as follows:
SEC. 6. That the circulating notes of any association so extending the period of its
succession which shall have been issued to it prior to such extension shall be redeemed
at the Treasury of the United States, as provided in section three of the act of June
twentieth, eighteen hundred and seventy-four, entitled "An act fixing the amount
of United States notes, providing for redistribution of national-bank currency, and
for other purposes," and such notes when redeemed shall be forwarded to the Comptroller of the Currency, and destroyed, as now provided by law; and at the end of
three years from the date of the extension of the corporate existence of each bank the
association so extended shall deposit lawful money with the Treasurer of the United
States sufficient to redeem the remainder of the circulation which was outstanding
at the date of its extension, as provided in sections fifty-two hundred and twenty-two,
fifty-two hundred and twenty-four, and fifty-two hundred and twenty-five of the Revised Statutes; and any gain that may arise from the failure to present such circulating notes for redemption shall inure to the benefit of the United States; and from
time to time, as such notes are redeemed or lawful money deposited therefor as provided herein, new circulating notes shall be issued as provided by this act, bearing
such devices, to be approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, as shall make them
readily distinguishable from the circulating notes heretofore issued : Provided, however,
That each banking association which shall obtain the benefit of this act shall reimburse to the Treasury the cost of preparing the plate or plates for such new circulating notes as shall be issued to it.

It is respectfully submitted that more than three years should be
granted within which to deposit lawful money to retire the remainder
of the circulation outstanding at the date of extension. If this period
should be extended to six years the necessary deposit would then be
comparatively small. In the natural course of redemption the outstanding circulation of old design of extended associations is constantly being
decreased, as all such notes redeemed are retired without regard to their
fitness for circulation, notes of a new design, as provided by law, being
issued in their place. See tables, pages 114,115.
Upon reference to a statement heretofore made of the extension of
the corporate existence of national banks organized under the act of
February 25, 1863, it will be noticed that 270 banks, with a circulation
of $47,997,430, were extended on February 25, 1883, and therefore lawful money must be deposited under section 6 within thirty days from
February 25,1886, to retire such portion of this circulation as then remains outstanding. From the redemptions of this circulation made in
regular course, it has for some time been evident to the Comptroller
that the amount of the final deposit required by this law to be made in



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

13

lawful money during the thirty days succeeding February 25, 1886,
would be very large, and that this deposit of lawful money within so
short a period would perhaps occasion some temporary disturbance at
money centers, particularly as some time would necessarily elapse before new circulation to replace that retired could be issued by the banks.
In this connection I desire to call attention to a portion of section 9,
which provides that in the aggregate not more than three million dollars of lawful money shall be deposited by national associations during
any calendar month in order to withdraw their circulating notes, except
when bonds owned by the association shall be called for redemption by the
Secretary of the Treasury. It does not appear that lawful money deposits made under section 6 are exempted from the provisions of section
9 referred to, and inasmuch as the deposits under section 6 may at
times exceed $3,000,000 in any one month, there is an apparent conflict
in the act. I therefore recommend that the time of deposit be extended.
I also recommend that section 9 be so amended that its provisions shall
not apply to the deposit of lawful money by extended associations.
In anticipation of the difficulty which might arise after February 25,
1886, from the apparent conflict of law referred to, and from.the large
deposit of lawful money, which, if not made before, would, by the law,
be required to be made within thirty days following that date, the
Comptroller, early in the present year, began to advise national banks
which would be required by section 6 to make deposits of lawful money
on or before March 25, 1886, in order to prevent, if possible, any disturbance, to make such deposits in advance, in sums of $10,000 or
multiples thereof, extending them over a period of some months. These
banks were also advised to order in advance the preparation of notes
of new design, that they might be in readiness to be issued to replace
the circulation retired by the deposit of lawful money under section 6.
Early in August a printed circular letter embodying this advice was
sent to all the national banks interested. Many of the banks so addressed have responded, and it is believed that the action of this office
has had an excellent effect, and that the amount of lawful money to be
deposited within thirty days after February 25, 1886, will be much less
than if this action had not been taken.
If the only object of section 6 is to enable the United States to gain
the benefit from lost or destroyed notes, this object might have been
accomplished by simple enactment to this effect, without the expense
of the issuance of new notes and the deposit of lawful money.
~~
The extension of the franchises of expiring associations for the sole
purpose of liquidating their affairs until closed, as provided for in section 7, appears to answer its purpose.
The remaining sections of the act are for purposes other than the
extension of the corporate existence of national banks, and it is not
necessary in this connection to make any statement in regard to their
provisions.
At this date but two reappraisals have been made of the stock of
non-assenting shareholders, under section five, by the Comptroller of
the Currency.
CIRCULATION.

Notwithstanding the fact that 145 new banks were organized during
the past year, with a capital of $16,938,000, depositing $4,959,300 of
bonds as security for circulating notes, the aggregate of bonds on deposit for that purpose has diminished from $325,316,300 to $308,364,550.
The- following table gives the various kinds and amounts of bonds

By reference to this table it will be seen that the aggregate reduction of bonds deposited for the year ending November 1, 1885, was
$16,951,750. The changes were as follows: An increase of $^6,000 in
Pacific currency sixes and of $9,800 in the amount of four-and-a-half
per cents deposited, a reduction of $313,800 in the amount of four per
cents held, and a reduction of $16,683,750 in the amount of three per
cents held, payable at the option of the Government. Of the three per
cents $9,586,200 had been called for payment, and interest had ceased
on November 1, 1884.*

during the years ending November 1, 1883, November 1, 1884, and

It will be seen that the banks held on November 1,1884, $155,604,400,
and on November 1,1885, $138,920,650, of three per cents under the act
of July 12,1882, payable at the pleasure of the Government. The Secretary of the Treasury, during the year ending November 1, 1883, paid
$105,634,150, and during the year ending November 1,1884, $105,970,450
of the public debt. In the latter year three per cents only were called.
No bonds were called for the year ending November 1, 1885. Reasoning upon the theory that the public debt would, during the year ending
November 1, 1885, continue to be reduced by the payment of three per
cent, bonds, and that this reduction would occasion the reinvestment of
trust and other funds invested in threes, and cause a greater demand for
and consequent increase in the price of four percent, bonds to a point at
which it would be more profitable for the national banks to sell them,
the Comptroller estimated in his last annual report to Congress, that
unless legislation should be secured enabling the banks to issue currency at a fair profit, circulation would be reduced at the rate of at least
$40,000,000 per annum. It is believed that this estimate would have
been substantially correct had the Government continued during 1885
to call and pay the three per cent, bonds as rapidly as during the two
previous years.
The reduction of circulation of national banks during the year ending
November 1, 1885, for reasons other than the call of bonds by which it
was secured, was greater than anticipated. The causes which have led
to this result are small profit remaining to national banks on circulation
after paying the tax of 1 per cent, per annum imposed by the Government; reduction in the rates of interest throughout the country, occasioned by the abundance of money in the financial centers; and, doubtless, uneasiness among certain of the bankers of the country as to the
outcome of the iucrease of silver in the Treasury, such increase indicating that possibly the interest on the public debt, and even some
portion of the principal, might be paidT in standard silver dollars, and
that Government bonds might thereb5 become depreciated in foreign
markets, which would undoubtedly affect their price in this country.
The credit and standing of this country is deservedly high, and it is
not believed that the people desire either the principal or interest on
the bonded debt of this country to be paid in anything but gold coin
or its equivalent. This matter was discussed at the time the bonds
were issued, during the period of the refunding of the debt, and the
preparations for the resumption of specie payments, and the conviction
is general that the faith and credit of this Government is pledged for
the payment of its securities in gold coin or its equivalent.
The Comptroller in his last annual report made the following statement:
The time of the final payment of the debt is, however, yet distant, and with
appropriate legislation there will probably be for many years no lack of bonds as a
safe basis of circulation. Moreover, no feasible plan with other security has as yet
been suggested, affording a sound currency redeemable on demand in specie, and the
Comptroller believes that it is extremely doubtful whether, after the experience of
the last twenty years, the people would be satisfied with a currency based on any
security other thai United States bonds.
Public sentiment seems to be in favor of the payment of the public debt as rapidly
as possible, and while no doubt this is in general a correct principle, yet as it is
apparent that such payment must extend under the most favorable circumstances
over a long future period, the interest during which time is as much a portion of the
debt as the principal, it is a question if it would not be of ultimate benefit to the
country and a payment of the debt to reduce the interest upon it to a minimum rate
and defer the payment of the principal, thus giving for many years a safe basis* for
national-bank circulation. This course would be particularly advantageous if the



16

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF TitE CURRENCY.

revenues of the Government are hereafter reduced to a point which,after providing
sufficient means for carrying on public business, will necessitate a more gradual
reduction of the principal of the debt.

The measures introduced in the Senate and House of Kepresentatives
during the last session of Congress to enable national banking associations to issue circulation to the par value of the bonds deposited, and
for the funding of the high-rate bonds of the United States into bonds
bearing a lower rate of interest, did not become laws, the law taxing
circulation was not repealed, and no legislation whatever in relation to
the national banks or the refunding of the public debt was enacted.
Unless some measures be taken whereby the banks may be enabled
to issue circulation at a reasonable profit to themselves, the contraction
of national-bank notes will continue. The profit on circulation may be
increased by the removal of the tax and by increasing the amount of
currency issued to the par value of the United States bonds deposited;
and the Comptroller again respectfully recommends appropriate legislation for that purpose. Even if this be done, the national bank-note
circulation is still liable to reduction and final disappearance with the
reduction and final payment of the debt of the United States.
Upon examining the various methods of issuing bank notes, adopted
in other countries, and which are described elsewhere in the report, it
will be seen that a large proportion of the issue of notes under the laws of
the different Governments are based upon the credit of the banks—that
is to say, they are issued against the general assets of the various institutions, and are not, as a rule, secured by special deposits or securities
held in trust, or by coin or bullion set apart specially for the protection
of the note-holder.
Irresponsible and illegitimate issues of bank notes have been common
to almost all civilized countries, and financial disturbances have again
and again resulted from such issues, notwithstanding the attempts
which have been made by many different Governments to correct the
abuse.
Bank notes, which circulate as money among the people, should either
be well secured by special deposit of valuable assets in trust, or they
should be issued only by corporations whose assets and management
are of such a character as to insure the payment of the notes, and those
corporations should be compelled by law to carry a sufficient reserve in
the coin of the country for their prompt redemption. Under these circumstances only are bank notes entitled to the confidence of the public. It is, of course, not to be expected that corporations or private
bankers will issue bank notes, if the law requires them to be based upon
the security of any form of debt and at the same time requires that an
amount of coin or bullion equal to the notes issued shall be held by the
issuing association for their redemption. There would be absolute loss
on such an issue. But as long as a bank note is payable on demand by
the issuer thereof, and the public are assured that it rests upon a stable
foundation of security, either deposited in trust or vested in the issuer
in such a manner as to secure its ultimate payment, and as long as said
note is protected by a reserve in proportion to the ordinary demands for
coin when needed for dealings with foreign countries or the natural
wants of trade, the public will use it as money on account of its greater
convenience.
It being conceded that bank notes based upon coin or bullion will not
be issued in sufficient quantities for the convenience of the public, banks
should be permitted to issue notes upon other securities for the con


REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

17

venience of trade and commerce. The debt of a strong Government is,
next to coin or bullion, the most available for this purpose, and in this
country up to this time the debt has supplied a safe and satisfactory
basis for bank notes, but in view of the anticipated payment of the
public debt it becomes a question of interest how far bank notes can
safely be issued without other security than the general assets and
credit of the banks. If tln> liability of shareholders on account of notes
issued is increased, and note-hold TS are preferred as against all other
creditors, circulating notes might perhaps be issued by joint stock
banks, under an improved safety fund system to a certain percentage
of their capital, unsecured by a deposit of bonds.
My predecessor, Mr. Kuox, in his report for 1883 said:
Experience has sliown that if instead of ninety dollars upon each one hundred
dollars of bonds, one hundred dollars of circulating notes had been issued upon
every seventy dollars of United States bonds deposited, there would nor, have been any
loss to the Government, or to the holders of the circulating notes of any of the national
banks which have failed during the last twenty years ; but- that there might have
been an additional loss to the depositors, depending upon the ch tractor of the assets
held in place of the portion of bonds which on this supposition would have been released. If circulation had been issued to these insolvent banks, which had a capital
of about twenty millions, to the amount of their capital, the value of the bonds being
the same, and there had been just previous to failure a decline in the market of 5 per
cent, upon the value of the bonds, the losses w-»uld not have exceede I one million of
dollars. These possible losses would have fallen upon the holders of the notes of such
few banks only as became insolvent, or upon the creditors of these banks or the Government; and if the gain arising from lost notes could have been used as proposed,
these possible losses would have be n provided for.

He proposed that a safety fund should be accumulated, '1) from the
gain arising from the accidental loss or destruction of the circulating
notes of national banks; (2) from the tax upon circulation; and (3)
from interest to be derived at a low rate upon the fund on deposit in
the Treasury for the purpose of redeeming the notes of national b inks
retiring circulation, which now amounts to more than thirty nine million
dollars.
The amount available for a safety fund from the first source is estimated now to be not less than six million dollars, and the amount derived from the tax of 1 per cent, per annum on circulation during the
year 1884 was more than three millions. Even if this tax for safety
fund purposes should be fixed at one half per cent., in the course of
three years a safety fund would be in hand amounting to more than
ten millions of dollars.
The results of the liquidation of 104 national banks which have failed,
and the affairs of which have been liquidated or are in process of liquida'ion by receivers under the direction of this office, show in a very
interesting manner to what extent it may be safe to permit banks under
the national system to issue circulation unprotected by a deposit of
United States bonds. Of these 104 banks, 70 have been finally closed,
and for them the results are absolute. The remaining 34 are. still
in process of liquidation, but have progressed so far that the final result can be estimated with comparative accuracy.
The dividends paid to the creditors of all these banks from the proceeds of their general assets amount to $2^,379,080. They had an aggregate capital of $J1,858,900, upon which under the law they could, on
deposit ot bonds, issue 90 per cent., or $L9.G73,O1O of circulation, [f at

have experienced no loss. If the law had authorized an unsecured issue

equal to 70 per cent, of capital, the notes of 71 of these banks would
have been redeemed from the proceeds of their general assets. At 40
per cent., the notes of 90 would have been paid in full, and upon an
unsecured issue of 25 per cent, of capital.* loss to note holders would
have occurred in the case of live banks only, or about $02,000 in all.
The experience with these 104 banks shows almost conclusively that if
their issues to the amount of 65 per cent, of their capital had been
secured by a deposit of bonds to an equal amount, the remaining 25
per cent, might have been issued without other security than a iirsfc
lien on the general assets, and if a safety fund had been in existence it
would in the case cited have been drawn upon to the extent ot $62,000
only upon a circulation amounting to $5,464,700. For a beginning, therefore, it might be safe to authorize banks to issue circulation amounting
to 90 per cent, of their capital, 70 per cent, to be secured by an equal
amount of United States bonds at par value, the remaining 20 per cent,
being i!*siied without other security than a first lien on such assets.
But if the law should provide for the accumulation of a safety fund
in the manner suggested, then as such safety fund increased, the percentage of circulation unsecured by bonds might be increased, as the
diminution of the public debt might require aiid the safety fund warrant.
Such legislation would have the effect of maintaining bank-note circulation, and prevent its being superseded by Government
issues, which
an authority as high as Alexander Hamilton has said u are of a nature
so liable to abuse, and it may even be affirmed so certain of being
abused, that the wisdom of the Government will be shown in never
trusting itself with the use of so seducing and dangerous an experiment."
While the bank-note circulation of this country is steadily decreasing,
there has been no reduction in the total circulating medium in the
United States, the reduction in tin ua-tional-bank currency outstanding
having been more than met by the coinage of the standard silver dollar
and the issuance of certificates thereon.
The number of silver dollars coined under the provisions of the act
of February 28, 1878, amounted to $213,259,43L on November 1, 1885,
of which $163,817,342 remained in the Treasury of the United States,
while $49,442,089 were in circulation on that date.
Under section 3 of the act mentioned above, silver certificates have
been issued, which are represented by standard silver dollars in the
Treasury of the United States, to the amount of $125,053,286. Of the
silver certificates so issued $31,906,514 remain in the Treasury of the
United States, leaving $93,146,772 ot these certificates in circulation on
[November 1, 1885. Through the operation of the act to authorize the
coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal-tender character, the circulating medium if sued by the Government of the United
States has been increased in the sum of $213,259,431, of which $49,442,089
in standard silver dollars are in the hands of the people, and $70,670,570
of like coins are in the Treasury of the United States, in addition to
$93,146,772 of said standaid dollars which are represented by silver
certificates in the hands of the people, and which can be converted into

standard dollars at the pleasure of the holder, and are receivable for
customs, taxes, and all public debts.
Under section 12 of the act of July 12, 1882, said certificates, when
held by any national banking association, are to be counted as a part of
its lawful reserve, and national banks are forbidden to be members of
any clearing-house in which said certificates shall not be receivable in
the settlement of clearing-house balances. These certificates are redeemable in silver dollars, but have no legal-tender quality between
individuals or between banks, although national banks are compelled
to accept them in settlement of clearing-house balances. It hardly
seems just or equitable that national banks should be compelled to
receive these certificates under these conditions, when banks organized
under State laws, and private individuals, are not compelled to receive
them when tendered.
The Comptroller in his last report to Congress stated that he believed
the operation of the present law, which compels the coinage of two
million standard silver dollars per mouth, weighing only 412^ grains
each, with unlimited legal tender quality, would eventually bring financial disturbance upon the country, and he is still of the same opinion.
Referring to silver certificates, the following suggestions were also
made in the Comptroller's last report:
If it is for the best interests of the United States to issue a circulation based upon,
silver, the Comptroller believes that the circulation should be issued upon coiu or
bullion which contains a sufficient number of grains of silver to have an intrinsic
value equal in the markets of the world to its nominal value; and that under certain
restrictions and regulations it would be far more correct in principle to issue silver
certificates based upon a deposit of silver bullion, to be valued in the exact proportion
of silver to gold, than to continue the issue of certificates under the present law.
These reflections are upon the theory, held by many, that it is for the best interests
of this country to maintain a circulation based upon silver. The Comptroller doubts
the correctness of this theory, but it is submitted that the circulationnow outstanding based on silver is a depreciated currency, by the issue of which the Government
has gained at the expense of the people who now hold the silver dollars aud certificates, and that therefore it is incumbent on the Government, if it continues to issue
circulation based upon silver, to do so under a plan which will not only provide a
sound circulation for the future, but also prevent the holders of the present certificates and dollars from sustaining loss.

As the silver question is more unsettled than it was at the time the
foregoing was written, not only in the United States but elsewhere, it
seems doubtful if this Government should attempt to issue a circulation
based upon silver, even at its bullion value, until the relative value of
this metal is more definitely settled throughout the world. The discontinuance of the coinage of the silver dollar by our Government might
perhaps have a tendency to bring about some agreement with other
nations, and the fixing of a standard for a series of years; it is however
evident that the coinage of the standard silver dollar under the present
law is in excess of the requirements of the country, and should be discontinued. If we continue to add these dollars to our circulating medium, and they continue to accumulate in the Treasury, the Government
must of necessity pay some portion of its obligations iu that coin; and
if the Government should pay its interest and other obligations and
redeem its bonds in standard dollars, the business of the country would
immediately go to a silver basis. What effect this would have it is
difficult to predict. It would appear, however, that gold would go to
a premium, which would compel its being held, to a certain extent, as
an article of merchandise, and it would not circulate as money. Tnis
would probably occasion contraction in credits and financial disturbance. The effect upon the legal-tender notes, which by the terms of



20

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

section 12 of the act of July 12, 1882, appear to be redeemable in gold,
cannot well be foreseen, but it would be difficult for the Government with
its present stock of gold to redeem the outstanding legal-tender notes,
or such portion of them as might be presented, if gold was held at a
premium. Inasmuch as the national-bank notes are redeemable in
legal tender notes, their position would be determined by the status of
the latter.
The substitution of standard silver dollars and silver certificates based
thereon, in place of bank notes, which is taking place under the provisions of law now in force, evidently requires consideration and appropriate legislation.
BANK-NOTE ISSUES OF OTHER COUNTRIES.

Macleod, in his exhaustive work on the Theory and Practice of Banking, states that—
"The circulating medium of any country is—
(1) Coined money—gold, silver, and copper.
(2) Paper currency, viz, promissory notes and bills of exchange, with all their
variety.
(3) Small debts of all sorts, such as credits in bankers' books, called deposits, book
debts of traders, and private debts between individuals."

Bank notes come clearly within the second classification, and are
merely promises on the part of the bank to pay on demand a sum of
money. Unless otherwise provided for, this sum is payable in the coined
money of the country where the note is issued. The metallic money in
which the note is redeemable on demand is that issued by the government of the country or State, and authenticated as to weight and fineness by its mints.
In the earlier days of banking, promissory notes of joint-stock banks,
private bankers, and merchants were all on the same footing as inland
bills of exchange, that is to say, they were all transferable by indorsement. Under the present system of issuing bank notes, payable on demand to bearer, they pass in ordinary business transactions from hand
to hand as a circulating medium in the same manner as coined money.
The commercial transactions of the world have grown to be so enormous, and the use of bank notes therein so universal, that most Governments, recognizing thenecessityof making the security for fulfillment
of these promises as substantial as possible, have enacted laws whereby
they are issued under certain restrictions and regulations, in order that
the public, many of whom are unable to discriminate between the different issues of the banks, may not suffer loss by receiving what is supposed to be an equivalent of money. Either securities are required
to be deposited in trust, as under the national bank system, or set
aside and held in the bank, as in the case of the Bank of England,
or the issues are regulated by the condition of the assets, the amount of
capital paid in, and the amount of coin on hand. Very often the law
provides that the circulating notes shall be a first lien upon all the assets of the bank, aud sometimes a direct guarantee of payment of bank
notes is given under conditions by the Government.
Since the passage of the national currency act in 1863, the entire
Mink-note circulation of the United States has been secured by a deposit of Government bonds with the Treasurer of the United States,
and owing to the care with which this precaution has been exercised the
general public scarcely realize that these notes are simply promises redeemable on demand, and not money.

21

As at some time in the future the redemption and payment of the
public debt of the United States will probably make it necessary to
issue bank notes upon the basis of some other security, it will be useful
to examine the various methods of issuing and securing bank notes
under the laws of the principal commercial nations of the world, in
order that the experience of other countries may be made available for
the welfare of our own. A system which is successful in one country
or nation may not be adapted to other countries, but from the experience of all, valuable deductions may be drawn.*
ENGLAND.

Bank-note circulation in England is regulated by the act of Parliament of 1844, which provides for the issuance by the Bank of England of
£14,000,000 of bank notes through an issue department, to which was to
be transferred £14,000,000 in Government securities, and also that the
banks of issue, consisting of joint-stock and private banks other than the
Bank of England, in existence at the date of the act, should not thereafter be permitted to issue notes except to the amount they then had in
circulation, issued by them and outstanding. In other words, the actual
circulation to which each of these banks was to be entitled under the act,
was to be arrived at by taking the average amount of circulation in each
case for twelve weeks prior to April 27 of that year, and under this
regulation the maximum issue by provincial banks—that is, banks in
England outside of London, not including those of Scotland or Ireland—
was then fixed at about eight and three-quarters million pounds. Under
certain conditions these banks of issue which were in existence in May,
1844, might cede their privilege of circulation to the Bank of England
for a fixed consideration of 1 per cent, per annum to August 1, 1S5(>, and
the privilege of issue of any of these batiks w.as forfeited in case of failure
to exercise it, of bankruptcy, or certain changes in the constitution of
their partnerships. The Bank of England was authorized to issue its
own notes for the full amount of the circulation of other banks compounded for, and by order of Grown in council, to two-thirds of the
amount of lapsed circulation.
The total amount of issues lapsed or compounded for since 1844 by
the country banks is about two and three quarters million pounds, leaving the present authorized circulation of such banks at about six mill
ion pounds, or $30,000,000. It is estimated that the actual circulation
of these English provincial banks, that is of the banks other than the
Bank of England, having privilege of issue, is but four per cent, of their
entire liability to the public. By the issue of its own notes in place of
the lapsed and surrendered circulation mentioned, the circulation of the
the Bank of England, based on Government securities, has been increased

from £14,000,000 to over £15,000,000. The circulation of the jointstock and private banks of issue of England is based entirely upon
their -general credit; that is to say, it is not based upon securities or
bullion specially deposited or held as in the case of the Bank of England, but upon the aggregate assets of the institutions. These banks
make weekly returns of their outstanding circulation to. the Government, from which it appears that not more than one-half of the notes
they are authorized to issue are in actual circulation. The total amount
of notes of the Bank of England, issued on the security of the Government debt, is at this time £15,750,000 or about $78,750,000. This
bank, in addition, is permitted to issue notes equal in amount to the
bullion or coin which is transferred to and held in the vaults of the
issue department of said bank. Of the coin and bullion held, 25 per
cent, may consist of silver. It is to be noted, however, that very seldom is any circulation of the bank issued upon silver.
The Bank of England is compelled to receive from any person tendering it, bullion in exchange for notes at the rate oi £3,17s. and 9d. per
ounce of gold 11-liJ fine. Under these provisions the amount in bank
notes issued varies from time to time by the receipt or withdrawal of
gold. The only tax paid by the bank against its issue of circulation is
for the privilege of issuing £15,750,000 against securities of the Government, and for this privilege and the exemption from stamp duty the
bank pays to the Government an annual sum of about £li00,000.#
Bank of England notes were, by the third section of the act of Parliament of 1833, made legal tender between all parties, except where the
bank itself is one, so long, and so long only, as the bank pays them in
gold coin on demand.
The act of 1844 declares that the notes of the Bank of England in
circulation, including those held by the banking department, shall be
deemed to be issued on the credit of such securities (coin and bullion)
so appropriated and set apart to the said issue department.
Although the act of 1844 only permits the issue of Bank of England
notes under the present situation of country bank issues to the amount
of £15,750,000, except on a deposit of coin or bullion, during the crisis
of 1857 and in 1866 this statutory provision WHS suspended and the

bank was permitted further issue of notes in order to supply a circulating medium to avert financial trouble and distress, and it is believed
by many that this course would be pursued again if occasion demanded it.

SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.

By the act of Parliament of 1845, the privilege of issuing notes on the
part of the existing banks in Scotland and Ireland on their own account
was continued to the amouut of their outstanding circulation. The
privilege of additional issue is granted to these banks upon the basis of
gold coin or bullion to the nominal or par value of the notes issued, and
in this respect they have the advantage of the English provincial banks.
By the terms of the acts under which Knglish. Scotch, and Irish banks
were permitted to continue their issue of circulation, unsecured by a
deposit of gold or bullion, the liabilities of the individual shareholders
of said banks to the general public were unlimited so far as the banknote circulation was concerned. It seems to be the opinion of all authorities who have examined the subject that Scotch and Irish banks
have no securities especially held against their issues.
From information communicated to the State Department by the
minister of the United States to Great Britain, it appears tha r the

The general banking act of Canada was passed in 1871, and has since
been amended in many particulars. Its effect has been to bring under
one uniform system of restrictions and privileges all of the chartered
banks in the Dominion, with the exception of a few banks, which, prior
to the passage of the general banking act, had been working under
special charters. Some of these banks were permitted to retain certain
special privileges, which they held under their old charters.
Under the general banking law of Canada none but chartered banks
are permitted to issue notes. The bank notes of a bank outstanding at
any one time must never exceed its unimpaired paid-up capital. Monthly
returns of the condition of each bank are made to the Government, and
if these reports show excessive issues, tines are imposed as follows: $100
for an excess of $20,000 or less; $1,000 for an excess between twenty
and one hundred thousand dollars; $5,000 for an excess between one
hundred and two hundred thousand dollars; and for an excessive issue
of over $200,000 a line of $10,000 is exacted. There is, therefore, some
inducement to make small over issue in stringent times, as the comparatively light penalty might be offset by the profit, while excessive and
rash overissues are restrained by penalties virtually prohibitory. No



24

EEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

notes can be issued by the banks for less than $5, nor for any denomination except $5 or some multiple thereof.
In case of insolvency, the notes are a first charge upon all the assets
of the bank. There appears to be no special security whatever. The
shareholders are, however, liable, first, for any amount not paid up on
their subscribed stock, and, second, for a further amount equal to their
subscribed stock. Suspension of payments in gold or Dominion notes
for ninety days constitutes insolvency. The directors may, after payment of notes has been suspended six months, call on the stockholders
without regard to assets on hand.
i
No particular amount of cash reserve is required, this apparently being left to the judgment and discretion of the management; but of the
cash reserve kept, one half, if practicable, and never less than 40 per
cent., must be in Dominion notes.
The banks may have branches and offices, and notes may be issued
and made payable at any of them, but each bank must receive its own
notes at any of its different branches or offices, although they need not
redeem them in gold or Dominion notes except at the place where the
notes are payable. Banks are required to make not less than $60 of
any one payment in Dominion notes of denominations of one, two, and
four dollars, if so requestel.
The Dominion notes mentioned are notes of the Government. The
first idea in regard to them appears to have been to have them supplant
the use of bank notes, as the first act in regard to Dominion notes was
ent tied "An act to enable banks in any part of Canada to use notes
of the Dominion instead of issuing notes of their own." This act was
passed in 1808, but was radically amended in 1870. The act of 1870
authorized the issue of these notes on the security of debentures of the
Dominion and specie held for the redemption of the notes by the receiver-general. The portion of specie held was to be not less than 20
per cent. The first amount authorized was $5,000,000, but this might
be increased by order in council under certain conditions to $9,000,000,
the ecurity for redemption being the same. Debentures or stock were
authorized to be issued and delivered to the receiver general, to enable
him to keep there-quired security for the notes issued. To keep the necessary proportion of specie, l his officer was authorized to dispose of debentures. If Dominion notes in excess of the amount authorized were at
any time outstanding, the receiver general was required to hold specie
to the full extent of this excess in addition to the required security for
the authorized issues.
The latest act (1880) permits an increase, wheu authorized by order
of council, to a sum not exceeding $20,000,0»K). This act fixes the
security to be held, at 25 per cent, in specie and Dominion securities
guaranteed by the Government in England (not less than 15 per
cent., however, to be in specie), and 75 per cent, in Dominion debentures authorized by Parliament. The whole amount outstanding*
on August 31,1885, was $17,469,380.83. Of this, over $6,000,000 were
in denominations of less than $5, and over $10,700,000 in denominations
of $500 and $ 1,000. The notes are issued in fractional parts of a dollar,
and in denominations of $1, $2, $L, $5? $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, and
$1,000.
The banks of Canada held on August 31, 1885, $6,823,000 in specie
and $12,421 270 in Dominion notes, while at the same (late the receivergeneral held $3,989,767 in specie as against. $17,469,380 Dominion notes

ENGLISH AUSTRALASIAN COLONIES.

Banking in Australasia is carried on under the Scotch system, and
the only security for circulating notes issued consists of the general
assets of the banks. The Australasian banks, however, hold in bullion
and specie a larger reserve against their liabilities, including circulation, than is the case in Scotland or England.
In 1840 the council of New South Wales passed an act requiring from
all banks of issue a quarterly statement. The other colonies, as they
were established, adopted the same law. An article by Nathaniel Corkr
in the thirty-seventh volume of the Journal of the London Statistical
Society for March, 1874, gives valuable information regarding banking
in Australasia and statistics compiled from the quarterly statements, from
which it appears that the outstanding bank-note circulation in 1872-'73
of the banks of issue in the colonies of New South Wales, Queensland,
New Zealand, South Australia, and Tasmania was £3,410,000. The coin
reserve held was over 25 per cent, on all liab lities.
A curious fact connected with the bank-note circulation of the colonies, especially that of Victoria and New South Wales, is the large proportion of £1 notes issued, being 57.2 per cent, of the whole issue in
the former and 50.99 per cent, in the latter. It appears that the profits on this circulation are not large, as taxes are imposed on the note
issues in circulation in all the colonies excepting South Australia and
Western Australia. Edwin Brett, in his article on the history ot banking in Australasia, read before the Bankers' Institute, London, October
18, 1882, states the rate of taxation in Queensland to be 3 per cent, and
in the other colonies to be 2 per cent, per annum. He also calls attention to the fact that although Australasia is a land of gold, and two
branches of the royal mint are actively engaged in converting the precious metals into coin, bank notes still constitute the chief circulating
medium in all the colonies.
It appears from the June, 1885, number of the Australasian Insurance
and Banking Record, published at Melbourne, that banking in the
Australasian colonies has been much extended since 1873, but that the
increase in note circulation has been moderate compared with the general
increase in the banking business.
A bill was introduced in the New Zealand Parliament, in 1885, providing that bank notes issued in that colony should be a first charge
upon the assets, within the colony,of the issuing bank. From appearances, this bill is likely to become a law.
FRANCE.

Bank notes are issued only by the Bank of France, it having in 1848
absorbed all previously existing issues and become the sole issuing
bank in France, with branches in the principal towns. The issue of
notes of the Bank of France is controlled by the council or directory,
who are compelled to report to the Government from time to time. The
Government, however, does not appear to interfere with the bank issue, except to see that the legal powers conferred in its charter are
not violated. At times, however, the Government has guaranteed or
secured a temporary or excessive issue. The notes of the Bank of
France are therefore based upon the security of the general assets of
the bank, which are at times re-enforced by a loan on the part of the
Government of its credit.
The Paris correspondent of the London Economist of June 28, 1879y
holds that there is no limitation of the circulation of the bank by its



26

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

statutes. During the times that specie payments have been suspended,
and when the Government has permitted the issue of unconvertible notes
or forced currency, a limit is always fixed to such issue.
From information communicated to the State Department by the minister of the United States to France, it appears that notes of the Bank
of France are legal tender, and are redeemable at sight, either in gold
or silver five-franc coins, at the option of the bank (silver coins of
smaller denominations being legal tender only to the extent of 50 francs).
On October 1, 1885, as shown by the returns of the Bank of France,
the notes in circulation amounted to 2,78(3,051,930 francs, the bank holding at that time cash amounting to 2,265,030,853 francs, of which
1,162,987,434 francs was gold and 1,102,649,419 francs silver.
GERMANY.

On the 30th of January, 1875, the existing banking law was passed,
and the Imperial or lleichsbank was established. By thisact it appears
that the Reichsbank, so far as its issue of notes is concerned, takes, to
some extent, in Germany, the place that the Bank of Eng and occupied
upon the passage of Peel's act of 1844. JJnder the present bauking act
of the German Empire, seventeen of the banks in existence on the 30th
of January, 1875, were permitted to continue their issue of notes to the
aggregate amount of about $27,000,000. In the apportionment of circulation between the lieichsbank, or Imperial Bank of Germany, and
the other banks of issue, about $62,000,000 was alloted to the Imperial
Bank, and to this was added certain issues of fifteen other banks which
had forfeited their right of issue by lapse of charter, voluntary renunciation of the right of issue, or by decision of the Government. Underthe
present act, banks other than the Eeichsbank issuing notes in excess of
the limit prescribed, except when protected by casli security, are compelled to pay an annual tax of iive per cent, on such excess. The amount
of notes free of duty; that is, not incurring this five per cent, tax, is
quoted every week in the German papers. The Imperial Bank appears to have the right of unlimited issue under the control of the
Imperial Debt Commissioners, and under the present act has practically
the control of the issuance of bank notes throughout the Empire. The
singular provision in regard to the annual tax of five per cent, on circulation, issued in excess of securities deposited, is, no doubt, mteuded
to permit additional issues in times of financial distress. How far this
expedient will meet the end for which it is evidently intended, has
never, it is believed, been practically tested. The Imperial Bank is compelled to hold an amount equal to at least one-third of all its issues in
German coin, imperial legal tender notes, gold bars or foreign coin; the
remaining two-thirds of its issues must be represented by discounted
bills having not more than thr^e months to run.

The exclusive right of note issue of the Empire of Austria was conferred on the Austro-Hungarian Bank, with a charter extending from
the 1st of July, 1878, to the 31st of December, 1887. This bank was the
outgrowth of the forced currency of the Austrian Empire, Austria having contracted liabilities to the national bank, prior to 1878, in the
amount ot $40,000,000.
The notes of the Austro-Hungarian Bank are redeemable in the coin
of the realm, at its two heal offices in Vieuna and Budapest, and incase
notes are not so redeemed within twenty-four hours after demand the

bank forfeits its charter. The bank is authorized to issue $100,000,000
of notes without security being deposited in trust, but is compelled to
maintain sufficient reserve to meet demands under the penalty above
stated. The bank also has the privilege of issuing additional circulation upon the security of gold or silver bullion, and also appears to be
permitted to issue notes against miscellaneous security. The exclusive
privileges granted the bank seem to be compensated for by its relations to
the Empire. It is compelled at all times to buy the mint pound of silver,
coin or bullion, with 45 florins in bank notes, and forward this bullion
for coinage. It must also furnish notes of such denominations as are
desired by the public in exchange for other denominations of its issue.
It is compelled to accept the Government issues of currency as money,
these issues forming a debt of the country similar to our legal-tender
notes. The bank, however, has the right to issue its own notes on the
security of the Government currency, the same as on coin or bullion.
The circulation of Austria consists of a trifle less than one-half of notes
of the Austro-Hungarian Bank and the balance in notes issued by the
Government.
BELGIUM.

The issue of bank notes is confined to the National Bank, which has
a charter for th.rty years from January 1, 1873. While the Government reserves the right to extend the privilege of issue to other banks,
and while theoretically bank notes may be issued by any individual,
firm, or company (except a corporation of limited liability), the notes
of the National Bank are legal tender to the Government, which controls its issues and business, and on account of this feature the bank
really has the monopoly of issuing bank notes. The security to the
noteholders rests principally upon the Government supervision of the
bank, the investment of a certain portion of its capital and reserve in
Government funds, and its being compelled under the act to hold coin
or bullion to one-third of its total liabilities to the public (deposits and
notes outstanding).
This reserve may, however, under the authority of the Government,
be reduced to 2r> per cent, of its liabilities. There appears to be no
limit to the issue of circulation.
NETIMRLANDS.

The Nederlandsche National Bank enjoys the monopoly of issuing bank
notes in the Netherlands. This bank was founded in 1814. Its present
charter dates from 1864, for a period of twenty-five years. The bank
issues two classes of notes, one class amounting to about $4,000,000,
covered by the Government debt. This issue is called state notes.
Bank notes of the National Bank proper are issued without any fixed
maximum limit. The bank, however, is compelled to carry at least 40
per cent, of gold coin or bullion against the aggregate liabilities to the
public for deposits on call and bank notes.
DENMARK.

The Bank of Copenhagen has the exclusive privilege of issuing bank
notes in Denmark. They may be issued apparently without limit, and
rest upon the security of the general assets of the bank. Against the



28

first $8,000,000 of notes issued, the bank must hold good and easily convertible assets to the amount of 50 per cent, of their issue. For any
excess over the $8,000,00.) the bank must hold a metallic reserve consisting of legal tender, coin, gold bullion, and foreign coin, and may hold
silver bullion and silver foreign coin not exceeding one-third of the whole
reserve. The metallic reserve is not permitted under the act in any case
to fall below three eighths of the whole circulation. From information
obtained through the Department of State, the bank notes outstanding
in Denmaik on December 31, 1884, amounted to 73,000,000 crowns, or
about $19,500,000.
NORWAY.

The Bank of Norway (Norgesbank), whose charter dates from 1816, has
the exclusive privilege of note issue in Norway. This charter may be
annulled by actof the Storthing, confirmed by theKing. Modifications of
charter have taken place from time to time. The bank has the privilege of issuing unsecured notes in proportion to its capital. It is permitted to issue two and-a-half times its original capital, and also issues
twice the amount of an increase of capital made in 1818, and oneand-a-half times its increased capital of 1842 and 1863. It also issues 150
per cent, of notes against its surplus fund, and a further amouut^of notes
equal to its gold ou hand. The proportion of secured to unsecured notes
is about fifteen to ten The notes of the Bank of Norway are redeemable
in gold and are a full legal tender. In consideration of the privilege
of issue the Government participates in the profits, and the bank appears to be practically an institution of the State, and the shareholders
have no voice in its management. The Govennent does not guarantee
the issue, although it would no doubt protect it, on account of its relations to the bank. Theoretically the notes are secured by the reserve
of coin and bullion, the capital, reserve fund, and assets of the bank.
From information obtained through the Department of State the bank
notes outstanding ou December 31,1884, amounted to 38,983,500 crowns,
or over $10,000,000.
SWEDEN.

•

The Riksbank, or Bank of Sweden, was founded in 1656, and Mr. Palgrave, in his Journal of the Statistical Society, March, 1873, page 117,
claims for Sweden the invention of the bank notfe, the Riksbank being
founded, as it will be seen, forty .years prior to the Bank of England.
The Bank of Sweden has a circulation of about $10,000,000, which
is unsecured, except that the bank is compelled to keep a certain reserve as security to the note-holder. The matter of reserve appears to
be well provided for, as its reserve of gold or silver coin or bullion must
at no time be less than about $4,100,000, and such gold and silver as is
deposited abroad or such cash as it has at call with foreign banks and
companies is also held against its circulation This regulation has
been at times suspended, in something the same manner as the Peel
act of 1844 has been in England. For more than six months in 1869
the reserve was below the minimum required by law, and in 1873 the
issue of notes exceeded the prescribed limits. There are other banks
of issue in Sweden, known as Enskilda banks, whose organization
appears to be in the nature of a private partnership, the liabilities,
however, being somewhat limited. They issue circulation under certain



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

29

regulations and restrictions, being compelled before issuing notes to deposit in a place of public safety 25 per cent, of their capital which has
unlimited liability (the partners and shareholders in these banks being
divided into unlimited and limited liability shareholders). No notes
can be issued against the limited capital until 75 per cent, of such
capital is deposited. In addition to the notes issued upon these deposits, bank notes may be issued on coin and notes in hand, gold and
silver bullion, upon such balance as the Enskilda Bank may have with
the liiksbank or Bank of Sweden, and also upon approved securities.
This class of bank notes must not exceed 50 per cent, of the entire capital.
The regulations for issue of bank notes in Sweden appear to have been
carefully considered. Upon a bank meeting with ioss which impairs its
capital 10 per cent, and reduces its reserve, the association is compelled
to liquidate.
EUSSIA.

Bank notes are issued in Eussia exclusively by the Imperial Bank,
which was chartered in 1800 with a capital of about $ 12,000,000. By its
charter it has the exclusive issue of bank notes in Russia for twenty-eight
years. The Imperial Bank seems to have no limit to its issue of circulation. The increase of its circulation, however, is usually made in response to the requirements of the Government whenever an exigency
or a deficit in the annual revenue occurs. The bank appears to furnish
a paper circulating medium to the Government in addition to the
amount previously issued, which, finding its way into the channels of
trade, produces inflation. In 1873 the bank had outstanding upwards
of $600,000,000 of bank notes, against which it held as specie reserve
only about $43,000,000. On November 1, 1879, it is estimated the circulation was upwards of $900,000,000. This circulating medium was
then worth in gold about 60 per cent, of its face or nominal value.
SWITZERLAND.

Notes are issued in Switzerland by banks of two classes—Cantonal
and joint-stock banks. (See London Bankers' Magazine, December,
1878.) The issues are unlimited. In 1879 the entire issue of thirty-live
banks was about $20,000,000. Notes are received between banks, and
business interchanged under an agreement, the interchange being carried on in something like the manner that business of a clearing house
is conducted. In some states of Switzerland banking appears to be
free from restriction in regard to the issue of bank notes, which are
subject to a tax of J per cent, per annum. Note holders of the banks of
Switzerland have no preference over other creditors. The present issue
of bank notes, as appears from information furnished to the Department
of State, was over $25,000,000 on December 31, 1884.
In order to eliminate from the circulating medium of the country the
large amount of illegal and badly-secured issues of bank notes which
then existed, the law of April 30, 1871, was passed, after an elaborate
examination into methods of other countries in dealing with the same
subject. This act limited the emission of bank notes to six associated
banks, which were required to issue$200,000,000 of notes to the Government of Italy, the Government paying interest on the amount of notes



30

so loaned, and the banks being liable for their payment ratably to their
capital. This issue of notes was for the purpose of taking up certain
Government loans, and each of the associated banks was permitted in
addition, tor its own use, to put out a certain amount of circulation which
might be regulated by the Government to 40 per cent, of the capital of
the bank. The associated circulation is practically the debt of the Government, as Government securities equal in amount thereto were issued
to and held as security by the associated banks for the loan of this circulation to the Government. The notes issued by the banks in their
individual capacity are redeemable in coin or in the association notes.
Banks are compelled to report to the Government full particulars in regard to their issues.
SPAIN.

Bank notes are issued in Spain only by the Bank of Spain, with the head
office at Madrid, which has between twenty five and thirty branches. The
bank is permitted to issue notes to three times its capital, which are
issued entirely on its credit. The bank is required to keep a reserve of
33 percent, of its note issue in coin or bullion. The notes, theoretically,
are payable in gold on demand, but a considerable proportion of its issue
appears to be simply promises to u pay to bearer," the words "on demaud" or "presentation" having been left out. and no statement is
made as to whether or not the note is payable in gold or silver. The
bank does not readily redeem its notes. They have been at a discount
in Madrid and the circulation is somewhat limited.
PORTUGAL.

Bank notes are issued in Portugal by the Bank of Portugal, and circulate principally in Lisbon and Oporto. There are other banks of
issue also in those cities, as well as in several of the smaller towns,
whose circulation is not so generally current in business transactions.
The Bank of Portugal has peculiar privileges, and contends that other
banks have no right to issue circulation. The charter of this bank expired in 1876, and it exists only under a provisional renewal. Its notes
are payable in gold on demand, with the except iou of a small portion
which are payable in silver and copper. These last circulate in Lisbon
only, where copper is legal tender to one-third of all payments. The
English sovereign is legal tender in Portugal. Note-holders of the
Bank of Portugal are not better secured than the other creditors of the
bank. The bank notes outstanding in Portugal on December 31, 1884,
as reported to the Department of State, was $0,303,000.

Bank notes are issued in Japan by banks organized under a national
bank act similar in terms to that of the United States. The first regulations of this act were issued in 1872, and were revised and amended
in September, L876. There were, ou June 30, 188J, 148 national banks
in operation in Japan, with 110 branches. These banks had at that
date outstanding circulating notes to the amount of 34,358,808 yen.*
There is also one so-called specie bank at Yokohama. This bank has
the privilege of issuing "silver notes" to the extent of a million and a

half yen. It apparently had outstanding in 1882, notes to the amount
of 294,520 yen. The notes issued by the national banks are secured by
a deposit of Government bonds, and the banks are under the supervision
of the Banking Bureau of the Imperial Finance Department of Japan.
The operation of the national bank act appears to have been of service
to the country, and the notes issued by the banks circulate freely
throughout the Empire.
On the 27th of June, 1882, the Government of Japan established an institution to be known as the Bank of Japan, with a charter limited to
30 years, and a capital limit of 10,000,000 yen, business to be confined to
non-hazardous transactions, and the bank required to transact such
Government financial business as it shall be directed to perform. The
issue of bank notes is prohibited for a time. The organization of this
bank is similar to that of the Belgium State Bank. Its president is
appointed directly by the Emperor, the Government subscribing for
one half of its capital. It is evident that the intention is that this bank
shall at some tim-e in the future issue circulation under the direction
of the Government.
AMOUNT OF INTEREST-BEARING FUNDED DEBT IN THE UNITED STATES
AND THE AMOUNT HELD BY NATIONAL BANKS.

The public debt reached its maximum on August 31,1865, at which
time it amounted to $2,845,907,62(3. More than twelve hundred and
seventy-five millions of this debt were in temporary obligations of the
Government, of which eight hundred and thirty millions bore interest
at 7.30 per cent, per annum. The average rate of interest on seventeen hundred and twenty-five millions of the debt at that date was
6.02 per cent. This large amount of temporary obligations was
funded within the three years which followed the close of the war,
chiefly into six per cent, bonds. The six per cent, bonds were gradually reduced during the year 1869 and the seven years following, by
payment and refunding into five per cents. The six per cents, together
with the five per cents, were subsequently rapidly replaced by four and
one-half and four per cent, bonds, which were authorized to be issued
by the act of July 14, 1870. In the year 1881 all of the unredeemed
five and six per cent, bonds, amounting to $579,560,050, were continued payable at the pleasure of the Government, with interest at 3J per
cent., by agreement with the holders. The act of July 12, 1882, authorized the refunding of the three and one-halts into three per cents.;
and since its passage all of these bonds have been converted into three
per cents. No call has been made by the Secretary during the year
ending November 1 for the payment of any portion of the threes, and
the amount of each class of bonds making up the entire interest-bearing funded debt has but slightly changed during the past year. On
June 30, 1885, the total registered bonds of the United States amounted
to $1,071,460,262, of which sum $11,927,900 only was held in ioreign
countries.
The report for 1879 and subsequent reports contain tables exhibiting
the classification of the miniatured interest-bearing bonded debt of the
United States and of the bonds held by the national banks for a series
of years, and also tables showing the amount estimated to be held by
savings banks, trust companies, etc.

SECURITY FOR CIRCULATING NOTES.

The operations of the Treasury Department for a series of years have
largely reduced the amount of interest receivable by the national banks
on the bonds owned by them and deposited in trust with the Treasurer
of the United states to secure their circulation, owing to the payment
of a portion of the public debt and the many changes made in the
classes of United States bonds by refunding or extension of the different
issues of five and six per cent, bonds to bear interest at 4£, 4, 3J, and
3 per cent. Eighteen year.-: ago the banks had. on deposit, as security
for circulation, $327,000,000 in United States bonds, of which amount
$241,000,000 bore interest at 0 per cent, and $S<j,000,000 at .5 per cent.;
and on July 1, 1882, they held $227,000,000 of three and one-half per
cent bonds. The Hva and six per cent bonds disappeared in the year
1881 from the list of these securities with the exception of $3,500,000 of
Pacific sixes, and since that year the three and one-half per cents have
entirely disappeared. On November 1, 1885, more than 45 per cent, of
the amount pledged for circulation consisted of bonds bearing interest
at 3 per cent only, and the remainder, with the exception of $3,505,000
of Pacitics, bear interest at the rate of four and tour and one half per
cent. The average rate of interest now paid by the United States on
the bonds deposited as security for circulating notes is a little more thau
3.6 per cent, upon their par value.

The profits on national bank circulation based on 4 and 4J per cent,
bonds are very small, after paying the annual tax of 1 per cent. Attention is particularly called to carefully prepared tables by Mr. E. B.
Elliott, Government Actuary, which appear in the Appendix on page
125, in relation to the average price of the 4 and 4J per cent. United
States securities for the year ending September 30, 1885, and computations based thereon showing the annual profit on circulation during the

The different items of resources and liabilities in the preceding table
indicate that the business of the national banks during the past seven
years has generally increased, having been larger during the past year
than at any period since the organization of the national banking system. The items of United States bonds and circulation have decreased.
It also appears from the table that the aggregate liabilities of the national banks to depositors and correspondents, which were reduced
during the previous year upwards of 94 millions, have increased during
the present year more than 180 millions.
The table also shows that during the same period the national banks
increased their cash resources by about 46 millious of specie, and decreased the same by about 2£ millions of legal tenders and United
States certificates of deposit for same.

The affairs of a number of banks in the hands of receivers have been
completely liquidated, with the exception of some matters involved in
litigation now pending in the courts. Much of this litigation is pending
in courts of last resort, and it may be some time before the cases can be
heard and decided. This condition of things may delay the final settlement of the affairs of these associations. In such cases, however, the
receivers are, as a rule, paid no salary, it being understood that on final
settlement of the affairs of the banks they shall be paid only for actual
services rendered. The names of the banks in this condition, with the

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

As has been seen, there have been but four failures of national banks
during the year ending November 1,1885, as against eleven during the
previous year. An inspection of the above list will show that each of
the four banks failed this year has already paid a dividend to its creditors, two of them 40 per cent, each, and two 20 per cent each.
If receivers, on taking charge of insolvent national banks, discover
evidence which appears to indicate that insolvency has been caused by
practices in violation of the criminal statutes of the United States, such
evidence is at once, by direction of this office, referred through the proper
channels to the Department of Justice for appropriate action against
those who appear to have rendered themselves liable to the penalties
of the law. Prosecutions of officers of many of the insolvent national
banks have been instituted*by the Department of Justice through the
United States attorneys in the districts where the banks were located,
and as a rule convictions have been secured where indictments have
been found. A number of proceedings of this character are now pending.
Since the commencement of the national banking system 104 banks
have been placed in the hands of receivers, 549 banks have voluntarily
closed their business by a vote oH stockholders owning two-thirds of the
stock, under the provisions of sections 5220 and 5221 of the Revised
Statutes, and the corporate existence of 26 expired by limitation. Of
the banks in the hands of receivers, 9 had been previously placed in
liquidation by their stockholders, but foiling to pay their depositors, receivers were afterwards appointed by the Comptroller to wind up their
affairs. Of the 104 banks placed in the hands of receivers, 70 have
been finally closed, leaving 34 in process of settlement, of which, as has
been seen, 14 are virtually closed with the exception of pending litigation, leaving 20 receiverships only in active operation.
Since the commencement of the system there has absolutely been no
loss to the note-holders of insolvent national banks, every note having been promptly redeemed on presentation at the United States
Treasury. The loss to the depositors of these insolvent national banks
during the twenty-two years elapsed since the passage of the act of February 25, 1863, as nearly as can be estimated, taking into consideration
dividends which will probably hereafter be paid, has been about
$9,860,000. The average annual loss to depositors has been therefore
about $448,000 in the business of corporations having from year to year
an average capital of about $450,000,000, which corporations have been
responsible for the safe keeping of deposits in their hands averaging
constantly over $800,000,000. The annual average loss to depositors of
all the national banks is therefore not in excess of one-twentieth of 1
percent.
The total amount so far paid to creditors of insolvent national banka
has been $25,651,390 upon proved claims amounting to $43,159,252.
The amount paid during the year has been $2,151,868.
Assessments amounting to $9,812,750 have been made upon stockholders of the insolvent national banks to enforce their individual liability under section 5151 of the Revised Statutes of the United States.
From this source $3,982,627 has been collected; $348,670 of this amount
during the past year.
Reference is again made to the tables in the Appendix, showing national banks which have been placed in the hands of receivers, the
amount of their capital, of the claims proved, and the rates of dividends
paid, and also showing the amount of circulation of such banks issued,
redeemed, and outstanding.



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

41

As stated in his last report:
" It is the intention of the Comptroller to rigidly enforce the bank act and to call
the attention of the Department of Justice to any criminal violations of the same,
but experience has proved that it is difficult, not only under the bank act, but generally under criminal statutes, to always obtain sufficient evidence to convict offenders.
The Comptroller is of the opinion that, with a few exceptions, the national bank act
has adequate provisions for the prosecution and conviction of those who lay themselves liable to its penalties. As stated elsewhere, bank failures are not so much due
to the inadequacy of the law as to the failure on the part of the officers and directors
to maintain a proper supervision of the affairs of their associations."
TAXATION.

The only United States tax now paid by the national banks is the
semi annual duty of one-half of 1 per cent, upon the average amount of
their notes in circulation during the preceding six months. The prohibitory tax of 10 per cent, upon State bank circulation paid out, as
provided by section 3412 of the Revised Statutes, is also still in force.
Section 5173 of the Revised Statutes provides that the expenses of the
Bureau of the Comptroller of the Currency, including those of the
plates and dies used for the printing of national-bank notes and of the
printing of such notes, shall be paid out of the proceeds of the tax on
circulation.
The act of June 20, 1874, provides for the redemption of nationalbank notes in the office of the Treasurer of the United States; that the
cost of such redemptions shall be paid by the banks; and that the cost
of the plates for printing, up to that time paid out of the proceeds of
the tax on circulation, shall thereafter be paid from the proceeds of an
assessment upon the banks. Section 6 of the act of July 12, 1882, for
extending the corporate existence of national banking associations,
provides that the cost of engraving plates for the issue of circulation
of new design, required by the section, should also be paid by the banks.
It was the evident intention of the enactors of the original banking law
that all the expenses which were incurred by the Government in preparing circulation to be issued to national associations, as well as the
expenses of carrying on the Bureau of the Comptroller of the Currency
and enforcing the restrictions of the national banking laws, should be
defrayed from the tax on circulation. As has been seen, this principle
was changed by the act of June 20,1874, which, without abolishing the
tax on circulation, imposed on the banks the expense of the redemption
of their notes and preparation of their plates, and this course was also
followed in the act of July 12, 1882.
The Comptroller in his last annual report suggested that, inasmuch
as the constant contraction of the volume of the national-bank currency
was due in great measure to the fact that under present conditions banks
can make but a nominal profit from the issue of circulation, a ready
and simple way to prevent a further diminution of the volume of national-bank notes would be to abolish this tax, and also that if this tax
were abolished the expenses of the Bureau of the Comptroller of the
Currency could be paid by a pro rata assessment on the banks, as is now
done in the case of the redemption of their notes by the Treasurer of
the United States and in the case of the expenses of preparing plates
for printing notes.
The total expense of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
from the date of its organization to June 30,1885, has been $6,060,227.37,
and the expense for the year ending on that date $225,29*3.38. From
the tax on circulation for the year ending June 30, 1885, $2,794,584.01
was realized by the United States Treasury.

STATE TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANKS.

The reports of the Comptroller of the Currency for the years 1877,
1880,1881, and 1882 contain chapters on the subject of State taxation of
national bank shares, in which the decisions of the courts construing
the effect of the provisions of the national banking law permitting
such taxation were considered.



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

43

In view of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in
the case of Boyer v. Boyer, and the action of the New York banks in
seeking- the protection of the courts against the alleged discriminating
taxation of their shares by the city of New York for the year 1885, it is
deemed best to give in this report a brief resume of the law authorizing State taxation of national-bank shares, and the most important decisions of the courts construing this law.
The original national currency act of February 25, 1863, contained
no provision authorizing the States to tax national banks in any
manner whatever. The number of banks organized under this act was,
however, comparatively small, and the capital small compared with
the capital invested in banks organized under State laws, over which
the States had full power of taxation. Much of the opposition to the
national system at the time of its inception was manifested by those
who regarded it as hostile to the State systems, and as a step toward
the removal of one objection, at least, to the State systems becoming
merged in the national, Congress seems to have regarded it as necessary to grant to the States the authority to tax national banks. At an
early day the Supreme Court of the United States had held that the
States had no power to impose taxes on corporations created by Congress, and the same court has since held that the States cannot impose
any tax whatever on national banks without the authority of Congress.
(Williams v. Assessors.)
The power to tax national bank shares was granted, and the method
of imposing such tax indicated by three provisos attached to section 41
of the act of June 3, 1864, by which the original act of February 25,
1863, was superseded. Under this law, shares of national-bank stock
were made liable to assessment by State authority at the place where
the bank was located, but not at a greater rate than was assessed upon
other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens of such State,
and the tax imposed was not to be at a greater rate than was imposed
upon the shares of banks organized under State law. Real estate belonging to a national bank was to be taxed as other real estate was
taxed.
The question that appears to have first arisen as to the proper construction of the law permitting State taxation of national bank shares, was in
regard to the exemption of United States bonds held by national banks,
in arriving at the value of the shares liable to taxation. The Hon. Freeman Clarke, then Comptroller of the Currency, in his report to Congress
for the year 1865, took strong ground in favor of the exemption of United
States bonds held by the national banks. He claimed that unless such
bonds held by'a national bank were deducted from its capital in order
to arrive at the value of the shares liable to taxation, the States exercised indirectly the right of taxing United States bonds, although
such bonds were exempted by law from direct state taxation, and that
thus bonds held by national banks were taxed while those held by individuals were exempted. He says, in regard to the ground taken by
some, that a tax on the shares was not a tax upon the securities represented by those shares; "that the position assumed by those who favor
this hypothesis will be found, upon critical examination, to be fallacious
can scarcely admit of a doubt."
The point came before the United States Supreme Court for decision
in Van Allen v. Assessors (3 Wall., 573), and it was decided by the majority of the court that a share of national bank stock was a distinct
thing from the capital of the bank, which capital may be invested in



44

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

United States bonds—that the shares are property in the hands of individuals, while the corporation is the legal owner of all the property
of the bank, real and personal.
The interest of the shareholder entitles him to participate in the
profits of the corporation while the latter is in existence, and also upon
its dissolution to receive his proportionate share of such property a&
may remain after the payment of its debts. It is this entire interest
that Congress has left subject to taxation by the States, and not such
portion as might remain were the amount invested in United States
bonds deducted from capital.
The court also held in this case that a New York statute, assessingshares of national banks for purposes of taxation at the same rate at
which other moneyed capital was assessed, the tax not to exceed the par
value of the shares, was void, because it was contrary to the provisions
of the Federal law—that taxation of national bank shares was not to be
at a greater rate than was imposed on State bank shares.
The State banks in New York were not taxed on their shares, but on
capital, from which the deduction of the amount invested in United
States securities was allowed, while this deduction could not be made
to reduce the value of national bank shares. The question then arose
in a new form. Inasmuch as the law provides that shares of national
banks shall be assessed at the same rate as other moneyed capital in
the hands of individual citizens, and inasmuch as United States bonds
and securities are exempt in the hands of individual citizens ; when the
capital of national banks is invested in United States bonds, is not
the State tax on their shares invalid ? The United States Supreme
Court in People v. Commissioners (4 Wall., 244) decided that under such
circumstances the State tax on national bank shares was valid. Under
these two decisions it is apparent that no deduction can be made from
the value of shares of national banks on account of the exemption from
tax of some of the assets in which their capital may be invested. This
principle will apply to United States notes and to United States or
other securities which may by law be exempt from taxation.
The next important case bearing on this matter decided in the United
States Supreme Court was that of Lionberger v. House. This turned
upon the construction of that portion of the Federal law providing that
the tax on national-bank shares should not be at a greater rate than
was imposed on the shares of State banks. The point raised was that
the State of Missouri taxed some State banks less than others. These
lightly taxed banks, holding an inconsiderable portion of the banking
capital of the State, were organized under special charters, granted
prior to the commencement of the national system, which the State had
no power to change. There was no discrimination as between nationalbank shares and those of State banks not so specially exempted. The
court construed the clause of theFederal law in question to mean only
that the State, as a condition to the exercise of the power to tax the
shares of national banks, shall, as far as it has the capacity, tax in like
manner the shares of banks of its own creation.
The act of February 10,1868, was passed to further define the place
and manner of taxation of national bank shares, amending section 41
of the act of June 3,1864. It may perhaps be regarded as superseding
that section to the extent of dropping out the proviso that shares of
national banks shall be taxed at a rate no greater than is imposed on
the shares of State banks. This appears to be the view taken by Congress in 1873, when approving the Revised Statutes, as in those statutes



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

this proviso is not included. Section 5219, which now embodies the
law on State taxation of national-bank shares, is as follows:
SEC. 5219. Nothing herein shall prevent all the shares in any association from
being included m the valuation of the personal property of the owner or holder of
such shares, in assessing taxes imposed by authority of the State within which the
association is located; but the legislature of each State may determine and direct the
manner and place of taxing all the shares of national banking associations located
within the State, subject only to the two restrictions, that the taxation shall not be
at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens of such State, and that the shares of any national banking association owned by non-residents of any State shall be taxed in the city or town where
the bank is located, and not elsewhere. Nothing herein shall be construed to exempt
the real property of associations from either State, county, or municipal taxes, to the
same extent, according to its value, as other real property is taxed.

The validity of State taxation on national bank shares, is under this
section, to be determined solely by the inquiry whether it is at a greater
rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens. There has, however, been great difficulty in so regulating the taxation of national-bank shares by the States as to conform
strictly to the intent of this law. As a consequence, in many of the
States, national-bank shares, in the assessment and collection of taxes,
have, it is alleged, been in different ways subjected to severe and
unjust discrimination, as compared with other moneyed capital. Some
of the methods of discrimination are as follows:
(1) Differences are made in the valuation of national-bank shares for
purposes of assessing taxes, as compared with the valuation of other
moneyed capital for the same purpose.
(2) Theindividual holders of other moneyed capital have been allowed
to make deductions on account of certain exemptions, such as debts
owed by such individual holders, when holders of national-bank shares
were not permitted to deduct their debts.from the value of such shares.
(3) In the different States distinctions are made in the taxation of
various kinds of moneyed capital, other than national-bank shares, in
the hands of individual citizens, and the standard by which the taxation
of national-bank shares is to be legally measured becomes thus confused.
Many forms of moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens are
altogether exempted by law from taxation, while national-bank shares
are taxed. The difficulty arises in deciding by which class of moneyed
capital the tax on national bank shares is to be guided": Whether there
is to be no tax, as in case of exempted moneyed capital; a less tax, as in
case of the class of moneyed capital taxed at a less rate; or a greater tax,
as in case of the class of moneyed capital taxed at a greater rate.
All of these forms of discrimination have been passed on in litigation
which lias come before the United States Supreme Court.
In Ohio the law provided certain State boards for equalizing the taxation on real estate, on railroad capital, and on capital invested in
bank shares; but there was no State board for equalizing the taxation
on personal property, other than bank shares, railroad stock, or other
moneyed capital. The equalization as to all other personal property
assessed ceased with the county boards of equalization, but the county
boards throughout the State fixed the valuation of moneyed capital
for purposes of taxation at six tenths of its true value, while the State
board fixed the taxable value of bank shares at their actual cash value.
The rates of taxation being the same, bank shares were discriminated
against to the extent of four tenths of their value. In New York the
law permitted the deduction of just debts of an individual from his



46

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

personal property, including his moneyed capital, excepting only his
bank shares.
In Pelton v. Commercial National Bank of Cleveland (101 U. S., p.
143), and in Cutninings v. Merchants' National Bank of Toledo (101
U. S., p. 153), the United States Supreme Court decided the question or' discrimination arising under the laws of Ohio. *In those cases
it was held that a tax upon national-bank shares valued for taxation
at a higher rate than other moneyed capital was invalid, and that upon
payment of the amount justly assessable a court of equity would enjoin
the collection of the residue, but that the bank must pay the portion
of the taxes justly due.
In People v. Weaver (100 U. S., p. 539), a case arising under the New
York law, the Supreme Court decided that the word rate in the provision of section 5219 United States Revised Statutes, that taxation
shall not be at a greater rate than is assesssd upon other moneyed captal in the hands of individuals, applies to and includes as well the valuation of shares for taxation, as the rate of taxes to be imposed; and that the
law of the State of New York, which permitted a party to deduct bis just
debts from the value of all his personal property, except his nationalbank shares, was void as to the taxation of such bank shares. The
case of Evansville Bank v. Britton (104 U. S., p. 323), arising under the
law of Indiana, taxing national-bank shares, supports tbe same doctrine. These cases disposed of the first two forms of discriminations
already mentioned, and pointed out the proper remedy to be pursued
by banks in avoiding the payment of taxes illegally assessed. Supervisors v. Stanley (104 U. S., p. 305) decides questions arising as to the
recovery of excessive taxes which have been paid by the shareholders
of national banks.
Under the third class of discrimination—where doubt as to the
proper taxation of national-bank shares arises from the fact that under
State law a discrimination is made in taxing different classes of other
moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens—the important
cases decided in United States Supreme Court are Lionberger v. Rouse
(9 Wall.), already mentioned ; Hepburn v. School Directors (23 Wall.r
480), and the recently decided case of Boyer v. Boyer. In Lionberger v. Rouse a discrimination was made by the State in taxing shares
of banks organized under its own laws—one class of banks being
taxed at a higher rate than another. At that time, as has been seen,
the law in force measured the taxation of national bank shares by the
taxation of State-bank shares, and in this case the United States Supreme Court held a tax on national-bank shares to be valid which did
not exceed the tax imposed upon the larger bulk of State-bank shares.
In Hepburn v. School Directors (23 Wall., 480) it was held by the United
States Supreme Court that the exemption by State law from taxation
of a small portion of other moneyed capital in the hands of individual
citizens was not a reason for exempting uational-bank shares from
taxation. In this case also it was held that shares of national banks
might be taxed at an amount exceeding their par value, if their market
value exceeded their par value.
In the case of Boyer v. Boyer, the Supreme Court decided that if
the great bulk of moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens
is exempted by State law from municipal taxation, that under the law
of Congress national-bank shares must be exempted also. The court
says that cases will arise in which it will be difficult to determine
whether the exemption of the particular part of moneyed capital in
individual hands is so serious or material as to infringe the rules ot



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

47

substantial equality—that a proper construction of the act of Congress
forces the conclusion that capital invested in national-bank shares was
intended to be placed upon the same footing of substantial equality
in respect to taxation by State authority, with other moneyed capital
in the hands of individual citizens, however invested. The court proceeded to say:
Upon such facts, and in view of the revenue laws of the State, it seems difficult to
avoid the conclusion that, in respect of county taxation of national-hank shares,
there has been and is such a discrimination in favor of other moneyed capital against
capital invested in such shares as is not consistent with the legislation of Congress.
The exemptions in favor of other moneyed capital appear to be of such a substantial
character in amount as to take the present case out of the operation of the rule that
it is not absolute equality that is contemplated by the act of Congress; a rule which
rests upon the ground that exact uniformity or equality of taxation cannot in the
nature of things be exp cted or attained under any system. But as substantial
equality is attainable, and is required by the supreme law of the land, in respect of
State taxation of national-bank shares, when the inequality is so palpable, as to show
that the discrimination against capital invested in such shares is serious, the courts
have no discretion but to interfere.

Having in view this last decision, the banks of the city of New York,
after due investigation of the subject by a committee* appointed for the
purpose, have arrived at the conclusion that the valuation of their
shares for purposes of taxation is illegal and void, for the reason that
the greater portion of moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens in the city of New York is, under the laws of that State, exempt
from municipal taxation.
Suits have been brought in equity, and the bill in each-case asks for
an injunction from collecting any taxes from the bank or from the individual shareholders until a final hearing of the cause.
The question is frequently asked this office, whether national-bank
notes in the hands of individual citizens are liable to State taxation.
Section 3707 of the Kevised Statutes provides that all stocks, bonds,
Treasury notes, and other obligations of the United States shall be exempt from taxation by or under State or municipal or local authority.
In section 5413, Revised Statutes, the words uobligation of the United
States" is held to include national bank currency. The question of the
taxability of national bank currency arose in the case of the Board of
Commissioners in Montgomery County v. Elston (32 Ind., 27), and
it was decided by the Supreme Court of the State that national-bank
currency is not exempt from taxation by the State. The court held that
the provision of law making national currency an obligation of the
United States, only intended to throw around national currency the
same guards against counterfeiting that were by law provided for obligations of the United States, and not to generally define national currency as an obligation of the United States.
In the case of Home v. Greene, in the Supreme Court of the State of
Mississippi (52 Miss., 452), it was decided that the circulating notes of
national banks are not subject to State taxes. The question, therefore,
still appears to be an open one.

In previous reports the attention of Congress has been called to the
provisions of section 5200 of the Revised Statutes, which place restrictions upon loans, and to the difficulty of enforcing the same. In cities
where large amounts of produce are received and stored it is claimed to



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

be impossible for the banks to transact this class of business
so long as
they are restricted to loans to an amount not exceeding1 in any case onetentk of their capital. While it is true that the limitation prescribed
does not apply to loans upon produce in transit where the drafts are
drawn on existing values, yet if the produce is stored instead of being
shipped, loans in excess of the one-tenth limit cannot be made except in
violation of law. in such a case the Comptroller has no means of enforcing the law except by bringing suit for forfeiture of charter, which
might result in great embarrassment to business, as well as loss to innocent stockholders, It seems evident that the law should be so amended
as to permit legitimate loans upon United States bonds, produce or warehouse receipts, and some other classes of collateral security.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

January 29, 1885, as stilted in the London Bankers' Magazine, that this
rate of discount had stood since the former date, ami that they had endeavored for the advantage of business to maintain rhe position of a
fixed rate, and fortunately succeeded in doing so during the year 1884.
The number of trade bills admitted to discount in the bank of France
-during the year 1884* was 5,144,035, representing1 the sum of
$907,870,300. * Of this number of bills there were 14,327 biljs of $2.08
and under, 661,895 bills from $2.29 to $10, 905,293 bills from $10.2L to
#20, and 3,563,120 bills above $20; that is to say, nearly a third in
bills under $20.21. The number of trade bills under $20 steadily increases. In 1880 there were 1,014,412 of these small discounted bills,
in 1881 1,160,945, in 1882 1,224,326, in 1883 1,349,270, and in 1884 they
increased to 1,581,515. The report by the governor of the Bank of
France for the year 1884 states that the proportion of the discounts
for retail trade in Paris has continually increased during the past year.
DIVIDENDS AND EARNINGS.

The large number of mercantile failures which have occurred during
1884 and 1885 have not apparently injured or weakened the national
banks, the aggregate surplus funds and undivided profits having been
but slightly reduced. The aggregate surplus of 2,664 banks on September 30, 1884, amounted to $147,055,038, and the undivided profits to
#63,234,238.
At the close of business October 1, 1885, the aggregate surplus fund
of 2,714 banks amounted to $146,624,642, and the undivided profits to
$59,335,519, showing a decrease in surplus of $430,396, aud in undivided
profits of $3,898,719.
The following table shows the losses of national banks from September 1, 1880, to September 1, 1885, and the ratio of losses to the aggregate capital employed :

The information in regard to the foreign banks has been derived from
the London Bankers' Magazine for October, 1885, and is to the latest
obtainable date. The principal bank in each country is given separately, and the dividends paid by other banks in the same country are
averaged. Similar statements of the national banks of the United
States are by geographical divisions, the reserve cities in each being
given separately, and the dividends paid by all other banks in the same
division are averaged.
Farther particulars in relation to dividends paid by the national
banks in the United States will be found in a table given in the Appendix.
TRANSACTIONS OF THE NEW YORK CLEARING-HOUSE.

The New York Clearing-House Association is composed of 43 national and 21 State banks and the assistant treasurer of the United
States at New York. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. A. Gamp, its
manager, a statement of the transactions during the year ending Octo


REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

ber 1, 1885, has been obtained, which shows that the total exchanges
were more than $25,000,000,000, while the balances paid in money were
over $1,295,000,000. The daily average balances paid were $4,247,009,
or about 5.1 per cent, of the amount of the settlements.
The balances paid in money during the year consisted of $120,436,000
in clearinghouse certificates of the Bank of America; clearinghouse
certificates for legal-tender notes amounting to $405,900,000; legaltenders amounting to $212,643,251; and United States gold certificates
$556,376,000. Since the d ite of the issue of the new gold certificates
(October 4, 1883), authorized by the act of July 12, 1882, the greater
portion of the balances due from the Government, have been paid in
these certificates instead of coin, thus dispensing with the movement
of large amounts in bags and upon drays from the Treasury to the custody ol the banks. During the six months ending November 1, 1884,
a portion of the balances du^ from the Treasury of the United States
were paid in legal-tender notes, and during the past year the amount of
gold certificates of the United States and of the Bank of America received inpayment have decreased, while the balances paid in clearinghouse legal-tender certificates and legal-tender notes amount to nearly
one-half of the entire money balances paid.

City amounted to 66.8 per cent, of the whole sum, and the balances in
that city were nearly 44.6 per ceut. of the total balances.
CLEARING-HOUSE CERTIFICATES.

Section 5192 Revised Statutes, provides that clearing-house certificates representing specie or lawful money specially deposited for the
purposes of any clearing house association, shall also be deemed to be
lawful money in the possession of any association belonging to such
clearinghouse holding and owning such certificates; and section 5193
provides that the Secretary of the Treasury may receive United States
notes on deposit, without interest, from any national banking association, in sums not less than $10,000, and issue certificates therefor in
denominations of not less than $5,000, which certificates may be counted
as part of the lawful money reserve, and may be accepted in the settlement of clearing-house balances at the places where the deposits
therefor were made.
The legal-tender note certificates were first issued in the fiscal year
1873. On June 30, 1875, there were outstanding $59,045,000 of these
certificates, of which the national banks held $47,310,000. On June 30,
1876, the amount outstanding was $33,140,000, of which the banks held
$27,955,000. On June 30, 1879, the amount had been reduced to. $29,330,000, and the banks held on June 14 of the same year $25,180,000.
The amount outstanding on September 30, 1885, was $23,185,000, and
the national banks held on that day $18,800,000. The issue of the gold
certificates was authorized by the fifth section of the act of March 3,
18(33, and they were used for clearing-house purposes soon after the
passage of the national bank act.
The first issue was made on November 13, 1865. On June 30, 1875,



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

there were outstanding $21,79fi,300, of which the national banks in New
York City held $12,642,180. The issue of these certificates was discontinued on December 1,1878, and the amount outstanding had decreased
on Jane 30, 1879, to $15,413,700, and on October 1, 1880, to $7,480,100.
The amount outstanding on October 3, 1882, was $4,907,440, of which
the national banks held $1,594,300. The issue of gold certificates having been discontinued by the Government, and the amount of gold coin
having rapidly increased, the banks in New York found it necessary to establish a depository of gold coin for the convenience of the clearinghouse. This depository at the present time is the Bank of America, by
which bank certificates of deposit were first issued on October 14,1879.
The amount of such certificates outstanding on January 1, 1880, was
$25,610,000, and on October 1, 1883, was $22,955,000.' The largest
amount of coin on deposit was on January 21, 1882, viz, $45,330,000^.
the capacity of the vault having been increased since 1880. Of this
amount the national banks of N"ew York City held on October 2; 1883,.
$20,345,000; on September 30, 1884, $15,123,000; and on October 1,
1885, $16,094,000.
These banks on the same date held of gold Treasury certificates issued under the acts of March 3, 1863, and July 12, 1882, $62,249,740.
The act of February 28, 1878, authorized any holder of silver dollars of
the weight of 412^ grains troy of standard silver to deposit the same
with the Treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the United States in
sums not less than $10, and receive therefor certificates of not less than
$10 each, corresponding with the denomination of the United States
notes. It required that the coin deposited or representing the certifi
cates should be retained in the Treasury for the payment of the same
on demand, and that said certificates should be receivable for customs^
taxes, and all public dues, and also authorized their reissue.
The New York Clearing-House Association issued daring July andi
August, 1885, clearing-house certificates .based upon fractional silver
specially deposited for such purpose, and on October 1, 1885, the national banks of New York City held $4,825,000 of these certificates.*
It would appear that these certificates could b(3 legally held if desired
as a portion of the lawful money reserve of national banks, under
section 5192 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which provides, as heretofore stated, that clearing house certificates representing"
specie or lawful money, specially deposited for the purpose in the clearing-house association, shall be deemed lawful money. The fractional
silver coin represented by these certificates could also be converted into
lawful money at any time, as they are redeemable in lawful money of
the United States on presentation at the Treasury.
Section 12, act of July 12, 188J, provides that the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized and directed to receive deposits of gold coin
with the Treasurer or assistant treasurers of the United Scates in
sums not less than $20, and to issue certificates therefor in denominations of not less than $20 each, corresponding with the denominations
of United States notes. The coin deposited for or representing the
certificates of deposit shall be retained in the Treasury for the payment
of the same on demand. Said certi ficates shall be receivable for customs,
taxes, and all public dues, and when so received may be reissued; and
such certificates, as also silver certificates, when held by any national
banking association, shall be counted as part of its lawful reserve, and
no national banking association shall be a member of any clearing house
* These certificates were retired during the month of November, the fractional
coin which they represented having been presented and redeemed in lawful money.

March 3, 1863, and July 12, 1882.
In addition to the certificates heretofore mentioned, the national
banks of New York City held on October 1, 1885, $1,945,000 clearinghouse loan certificates, issued in pursuance of resolutions adopted May
14, 1884, to the Metropolitan National Bank, now in liquidation, and
State banks in New York City held $735,000, the total outstanding on
that date being $2,680,000. On the 13th of October $130,000 of these
certificates were paid by the Metropolitan* National Bank, leaving
the aggregate amount outstanding on that date $2,550,000. These
certificates are secured by a deposit in trust of certain securities and bills
receivable with the loan committee of the New York Clearing-House
Association, and bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum. They
arecarried by the associated banks among their loans, and were in ore fully
described in the report of this office for the year 1884, pages 36 and 37.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

UNITED STATES LEOAL-TENDER NOTES AND NATIONAL-BANK CIRCULATION.

The acts of Febuary 25, 1862, July 11, 1862, and March 3, 1863, each
authorize the issue of 150 millions of dollars of legal-tender notes, making
an aggregate of 450 millions of dollars.
On February 3, 1864, the amount of such notes outstanding was
$449,479,222, which was the highest amount outstanding at any one
time. The act of June 30, 1864, provided that the total amount of United
States notes issued, or to be issued, should not exceed 400 millions of
dollars, and such additional sum, not exceeding 50 millions, as might
be temporarily required for the redemption of temporary loans.
By the act of June 20, 1874, the maximum amount was fixed at 382
millions. Section 3, act of January 14, 1875, authorized an increase of
the circulation of national banks in accordance with existing law, without respect to the limit previously existing, and required the Secretary
of the Treasury to retire legal tender notes, to an amount equal to 80
per cent, of the national bank notes thereafter issued, until the amount
of such legal-tender notes outstanding should be 300 millions and no
more. Under the operations of this act $35,31.8,984 of legal-tender
notes were retired, leaving the amount in circulation on May 31, 1878,
the date of the repeal of the act, $346,681,016, which is the amount outstanding.
In the following table are given the amounts and kinds of the outstanding currency of the United States, and of the national banks on
January 1, of each year, from 1866 to 1885, and on November 1, 1885,
to which is prefixed the amount on August 31, 1865, when the public
debt reached its maximum.

The amount of circulation of the Bank of France on January 1, 1884,
was 3,161,804,536 francs, or say $632,360,907, showing a decrease of
183,731,946 francs, or $36,746,389, between that time and January 1,
1885, the date of the foregoing table; and since January 30, 1879, an
increase of 687,101,760 francs, or $137,420,352.
It will be seen that the Imperial Bank of Germany has in circulation no notes of a less denomination than seven dollars and a half (10
thalers), and issues none of less than $25 (100 marks), and that the Bank
of France issues less than a million of dollars in value of notes of a
less denomination than $10. The Bank of England issues no notes of
less than £5, or $25, and the Irish and Scotch banks none of less than
£1, or $5.
DISTRIBUTION OF COIN AND PAPER CURRENCY.

In previous reports tables have been given showing the amount of
coin and currency in the country and its distribution, the amount in
the Treasury, in the banks, and among the people on January 1, 1879,
the date of the resumption of specie payments, and on November 1 of
each of the last four years preceding the date of this report. These
tables are again presented, the amounts on November 1, 1881, being
omitted, while those on November 1, 1885, are added. The amounts of
gold and silver in the country available for circulation are based upon
the estimates of the Director of the Mint for January 1, 1879. The
amounts of gold for the succeeding dates have been obtained by adding
the gold production of the country, less the amounts used in the arts,
from estimates of the same officer, adding the excess of gold importations during the year, or deducting the excess of gold exportations for
the same period, according to the reports of the Bureau of Statistics.
The amounts of silver are obtained by adding for each year the amount
of silver dollars and fractional silver coined, less amounts recoined.
For the year 1885 the silver bullion purchased by the Government for
coinage and on baud on November 1 is included.

For the year ending November 1,1885, the production of gold by the
mines of the United States is estimated to have been about $30,800,000
During the period from November 1, 1884, to October 1, 1885, the
amount of foreign and domestic gold coin and bullion imported in excess of the amount exported has been $12,315,915, making an increase
in the stock of gold in the country of §43,115,915. From this amount
must be deducted the amount estimated by the Director of the Mint to
have been used in the arts during the same period, $12,000,000, leaving
$31,115,915 as the increase in the stock of gold coin and bullion in the
country.
The total excess of imports of gold over exports of the same from the
date of resumption to October 1, 1885, has been $178,028,043, and the
total estimated gold product of the mines of the United States for the
same period has been about $222,525,000. The total amount of standard
silver dollars coined during the year ending November 1,1885, has been
$28,528,002; of subsidiary silver coin, $195,977; and there was of subsidiary coin presented to the mint for recoinage $041,727, thereby
reducing the amount of such coin $445,750. The total amount of
standard silver dollars coined since the passage of the act of February
28, 1878, authorizing that coinage, up to November 1, 1885, has been
$213/259,431. The following table, based upon the estimates and figures given above, shows the amount of coin and currency in the country

*In obtaining the amount of gold November 1, 1885, the estimated amount on November 1, 1884,
has been reduced by $30,000,000, which amount the Director of the Mint has recently estimated was
used in the arts between July 1, 1873, and June 30, 1880, and was not deducted in the original estimate
for July 1, 1879.
t T h e sum of $39,542,979 in lawful money has been deposited by the national banlts to retire circulation of a like amount which has not yet been presented for redemption.

Ttoere has been no change in the aggregate of legal-tender notes, which
still remains as fixed by the act of May 31, 1878. National bank
notes have decreased $17,712,645 during the year. The amounts of gold
and silver have increased $31,115,915 and $31,923,388, respectively,
and the total increase during the year in gold, silver, and currency was
$45,326,658. The reduction of former estimates of gold by $30,000,000,

This is composed of $6,322,832 standard dollars and $2,797,969.66 fractional silver.

The latest official reports of the State banks in New England, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado, and the Territory of Montana show that
these banks held specie amounting to $20,132,864, of which the banks
in New York City held $12,819,217.
The official returns from the State banks of California do not give
separately the amount of coin held bj them; but it is estimated that the
total cash reported, amounting to $11,122,925, consisted almost entirely
of coin. The amount of coin held by State banks in the States before
mentioned, including California, was, therefore, $31,255,789.
The Director of the Mint, in his report for 1882, estimated the amount
of coin in the country on June 30, 1882, at $700,455,545, of which
$500,862,185 was gold and $199,573,360 was silver.

and in the New York assay office on October 1, 1885, is stated to have
been $71,471,323 of gold and $4,568,057 of silver, making in all

$915,168,523, of which amount $622,399,106 was gold and $292,709,417
was silver.
The following table shows the amount of gold and silver, including

NUMBER, CAPITAL, AND DEPOSITS OF STATE AND SAVINGS BANKS
AND PRIVATE BANKERS.

Section 333 of the Kevised Statutes of the United States requires the
Comptroller to present annually to Congress a statement of the condition of the banks and savings banks organized under State laws. Beturns of capital and deposits have hitherto been made by these institutions, and by private bankers, semi-annually to this Department for
purposes of taxation. From these returns the following table has been
compiled, exhibiting in concise form, by geographical divisions, the
total average capital and deposits of all the State and savings banks
and private bankers of the country for the six months ending November 30, 1882, being the last semi-annual period for which State and

The capital of the 2,308 national banks in operation on December 30,
1882, being the date of their report nearest to that of the table given
above, as will be seen by a table in the Appendix, was $484,883,492,
not including surplus, which fund at that date amounted to more
than $135,000,000, while the average capital of all the State banks,
private bankers, and savings banks for the six months ending November 30, 1882, was but $232,435,330. The latter amount is less than twofifths of the combined capital and surplus of the national banks at
practically the same time. The table below exhibits the capital and
net deposits of the national*banks on December 30, 1882, together with
the aggregate average capital and deposits of all classes of banks other
than national for the six months ending November 30, 1882 :

* I n the last table of the series the returns are given for the six months ending May 31,1882, and also
for t h e six months ending November 30, of the same year.

It will noticed that the first two tables of this chapter are for the
six months ending November 30, while all similar tables in previous
reports have been for the six months ending May 31. The law repealing the tax on capital and deposits of State banks and private bankers
went into effect on November 30, 1882, in accordance with the opinion
of the Attorney-General, and for this reason the Comptroller has given
the returns to that date, which was the lait data to be obtained from
this source.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER.OF THE CURRENCY.

71

In previous reports the Comptroller has given the amount of United
States bonds held by banks organized under State laws and by private
bankers as returned to the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue for purposes of taxation. A table was compiled, for purposes of comparison,
from these returns for the six months ending November 30, 1882, and
may be found in the report of this office for the year 1884, page 32.
STATE BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES, AND SAVINGS BANKS.

The act of Congress of February 19, 3^873, section 333 of the United
States Revised Statutes, requires the Comptroller to obtain from authentic sources, and report to Congress, statements exhibiting under appropriate heads the resources and liabilities of such banks and savings
banks as are organized under the laws of the several States and Territories. In compliance with this act he has presented annually in the
appendices to his reports the resources and liabilities of these corporations, so far as it has been possible to obtain them. Through the courtesy of State officers, returns of State banks, savings banks, arid trust
and loan companies have, during the past year, been received from
twenty-five States. Many of the States and Territories, including West
Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Oregon, and Dakota, do not require periodical returns of the condition of
the different classes of banks organized under their laws.
From these returns the following abstract has been compiled, showing the resources and liabilities of State banks and trust companies for
the last five years, the number reporting in 1881 being 683; in 1882,704;
in 1883, 788; in 1884, 852; and in 1885, 1,015:

The foregoing table includes the returns from six NeV England
States; from four Middle States, not including Delaware; from the
States of Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, California, and the District of
Columbia.
The aggregate of loans in the New England States is $297,220,022 and
of deposits $492,373,407. In the Middle States the aggregate of loans
is $172,779,215 and of deposits $525,151,161. Some of the largest
savings banks in the city of Philadelphia organized under old charters
are not required to make reports to any State officer. Eeturns directly
received from four of these banks, having deposits amounting to
$35,362,660, are included in the returns from the State of Pennsylvania.
The savings-banks deposits, given in the foregoing table for 1885, based
upon reports made to the State authorities, are $1,095,172,147, and the
deposits of the State banks and trust companies are $532,725,289.
These returns do not include bank deposits. The deposits of the
national banks on October 1, 1885, exclusive of those due to banks,
were $1,102,354,658.
No just comparison of the deposits of national banks with those of
savings banks, State banks and trust companies can be made, owing to
the fact that the reports of many of the latter classes of banks were
made to the State authorities at various dates in 1884 and 1885.



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

73

The total population of New England, according to the census of 1880,
was 4,010,529, and the number of open deposit accounts of the savings
banks in the year 1885 is 1,460,185, which is equal to about 36.4 accounts to each one hundred of the entire population. The average
amount of each account is $337.21, or an average of $122.77 per capita.
The deposits of the savings banks in the State of New York were
$437,107,501, and the population was 5,082,871, showing an average of
about $86 per capita.
Tables showing the aggregate resources and liabilities of State banks,
trust companies, and savings banks in each State from which returns
have been received from the State authorities appear in the Appendix.
A table is also there given showing by States the number of savings
banks, depositors, and the average amount due to each in 1884 and 1885.
Since November 30, 1882, the Comptroller has been entirely dependent
for this information upon returns from the officers of the different States,
and where the law requires such returns to be made, they are as a
rule promptly and courteously forwarded to this office at his request.
PRIVATE BANKERS.

The first official information relating to the private bankers of the
country published by this office was contained in a table in the Comptroller's report for 1880, and the last information obtained in reference to
them was for the semi-annual period ending November 30,1882. A table
will be found in the Appendix giving information for this and previous
years.
APPENDIX.

Tables will be found in the Appendix exhibiting the reserve of the
national banks, as shown by their reports, from October 1, 1878, to
October 1, 1885; the reserve by States and principal cities for October 1, 1885, and in the States and Territories, in New York City, and
in other reserve cities, separately, at three dates in each year from 1881
to 1885.
Special attention is called to the synopsis of judicial decisions contained in the Appendix, to the numerous and carefully prepared tables
in both Report and Appendix, and to the index of subjects and list of
tables to be found on page 247. At the end of the full volume, of nearly
1,200 pages, is an alphabetical list of the cities and villages in which
the national banks are situated.
The Comptroller, in concluding this report, desires to gratefully acknowledge the industry and efficiency of the officers and clerks associated with him in the discharge of official duties, many of whom, in
addition to attending to their regular duties, have been compelled^
owing to the growth of the national banking system and the extension
of the corporate existence of national associations, to perform a large
amount of extra work, without regard to oMce hours.

SYNOPSIS of DECISIONS of the SUPREME and CIRCUIT COURTS of the UNITED
STATES and of STATE CO URTS of LAST RESORT, upon Q UESTIONS ARISING
UNDER THE NATIONAL BANK ACT and upon COGNATE POINTS of INTEREST to BANKS and to PARTIES HA VING DEALINGS with them*
ABATEMENT.

I. An action brought by a creditor of a national bank is abated by a decree of
a district or circuit court dissolving the corporation and forfeiting its franchises. (First National Bank of Selma vs. Colby, 21 Wallace, p. 609.
II. Suit by the receiver of the New Orleans National Banking Association (formerly
a State organization called the Bank of New Orleans) against a shareholder
to enforce his personal liability. Plea in abatement that " at the date of
the appointment of said receiver there was not, nor has there since been,
nor is there now, any such corporation as said New Orleans National Banking Association, because said Bank of New Orleans had no power by its
charter, nor authority otherwise from the State of Louisiana, to change its
organization
to that of a national association under the laws of the United
States.'7
On general demurrer this plea was held bad, because no authority from
the State was necessary to enable the bank to make such change. The option to do so was given by the forty-fourth section of the banking act of
Congress, 13 Statutes, 112. " The power there conferred was ample, audits
validity cannot be doubted." (Casey, Receiver, $c, vs. Galli, 4 Otto, p. 673.)
This plea was also held bad upon the additional ground that " where a
shareholder of a corporation is called upon to respond to a liability as such,
and where a party has contracted with a corporation, and is sued on his
contract, neither is permitted to deny the existence and legal validity of
such corporation." (Ibid.)
" To hold otherwise," says Mr. Justice Swayne (p. 680), " would be contrary to the plainest principles of reason and good faith, and involve a
mockery of justice. Parties must take the consequences of the positions
they assume. They are estopped to deny the reality of the state of
things which they have made to appear to exist, and upon which others
have been led to rely. Sound ethics require that the apparent, in its effects
and consequences, should be as if it were real, and the law properly so regards it."
ACCOMMODATION ACCEPTANCES, INDORSEMENTS, AND NOTES.

I. Where bills, indorsed by a national bank for accommodation only, had been
negotiated by the bank through its usual channels of communication with
its correspondents as its own bills, and the proceeds thereof have been
placed to the credit of the bank, which thereupon gave the same credit to
the parties for whom it had thus indorsed, and received no benefit therefrom : Held, that although an accommodation indorsement by a national
bank, in such cases, was void in the hands of holders against whom notice
of the character of the indorsement could be concluded, yet that tbe bank
was liable for the same to holders, for value without notice. (Blair vs. First
National Bank of Mansfield, Ohio. United States Circuit Court for Ohio, at
Cleveland, November term, 1875, Emmons, J. Reported in Bankers' Magazine
for March, 1878, pp. 721-5.)
II. It is no defense in a suit against the acceptor of a draft which has been discounted, and upon which money has been advanced by plaintiff, that the
draft was accepted for the accommodation of the drawer. (Davis vs. Randall, 115 Mass., p. 547.)
III. A national bank discounted a note made by the defendant for the benefit of
the payee, and which the payee agreed to take care of at maturity: Held,
that the bank could recover the note although it had, when it took the
note, full notice of the circumstances under which it was given. (T/iatcher
vs. West River National Bank, 19 Mich., p. 196.)
(See, also, Title "EVIDENCE.")
IV. That the accommodation acceptance, indorsement, bill, or note of a corporation is ultra vires. (See Bank of Genesee vs. Patchin Bank, 13 N. F., p. 309,
and 19 N. Y., p. 312 ; Bank of Auburn vs. Putnam, jr., 1 Abb. App. Decisions,
* Many of the decisions cited in this synopsis will be found in " Thompson's National
Bank Cases," vols. 1 and 2; but in most instances reference is made to the original
report, thus indicating the tribunal by which the point was decided.

p. 80; Monfords
vs. Farmers $r Mechanics' Bank, 26 Bard., p. 568 j Farmers $Mechanics7 Bank vs. Troy City Bank, 1 Doug. [Mich.], p. 45.)
[NOTE.—In the Uuited States Circuit Court, Western District, Virginia,
Judge Bond has recently decided the cases of SeligmanfyCo. vs. The Charlottesville National Bank, and Johnston BrothersfyCo. against the same bank.
The ftest was an action of covenant upon a letter of credit for £5,000, issued
under the seal of the bank, pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, guaranteeing the drafts of Flannagan & Son to the amount of said
letter. The latter wasassumpsit upon five bills of exchange for $5,000 each,
dated April 16, 1875, each drawn by said Charlottesville Bank upon the
Citizens' National Bank of Baltimore, payable to the order of Flannagan
& Son, acceptance waived, maturing upon days "fixed" within five days
of each other, the first, November 20, and the last, December 10 of same
year. Said bills were not drawn against funds due or to become due from
the said Citizens' to said Charlottesville Bank, but were a mere loan of the
credit of the latter bank (it being without funds) to the said Flannagan
& Son, and drawn to be used by the latter, as they were used, as collatteral security in part for a loan of $25,000, made by said Johnston Brothers
fy Co. to said Flannagan & Son. Said plaintiffs took said bills as such
collateral security, and with full notice of all the facts aforesaid. Held, 1st.
That said letter of credit and said bills of exchange were only the accommodation paper of said Charlottesville National Bank, and, as such, void
in the hands of the plaintiffs, holding with full notice of their character*.
2d. That the incidental powers conferred upon national banks are not such
as are conferred upon banks generally, but only such as are necessary to
carry on the specific banking business prescribed by the national-bank
act. Hence, though such banks may borrow money for certain purposes,
they have no power to loan their credit to customers. These cases were
reported in the Bankers' Magazine for December, 1879.]
ACTIONS.

I. A national bank may be sued in the proper State court. (Bank of Bethel vs.
Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., pp. 383, 395.)
II. Such banks may sue in Federal courts. The word " b y " was omitted in
section 57 of act of 1864 by mistake. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall,,pp. 506-7.)
III. Receivers may also sue in United States courts. (Ibid.)
IV. When the full personal liability of shareholders is to be enforced, the action
must be at law. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall.,p. 505; see, also, Casey, tfc,
vs. Galli, supra.)
V. But if contribution only is sought, the proceedings may be in equity, joining
all the shareholders within the jurisdiction of the court. (Ibid., pp. 505-6.)
(See, also, Title "SHAREHOLDERS, INDIVIDUAL LIABILITIES OF," VI, post.)

VI. But in Bailey, Receiver, <fc, vs. First National Bank of Duluth, U. S. Circuit
Court for Minnesota, Nelson, J. : Held, that even where less than the par
value was assessed the suit mighthe at law ; and this would seem to be the
true theory.
(See Bankers' Magazine, April, 1877, p. 793.)
[NOTK.—In Stanton, Receiver,fyc,vs. fVilkeson, 8 Ben., 357, the point was
distinctly made before Judge Blatchford. The suit was brought to enforce
an assessment of sixty per centum, and defendant insisted that plaintiff
should have proceeded by bill in equity ; but the court held that the action
at law was the proper remedy, at the option of the receiver.]
VII. A national bank located iu one State may bring action in the circuit court
of the United States sitting within another State against a citizen thereof.
(Manufacturers' National Bank vs. Baack, 8 Blatch.,p. 147.)
VIII. In such action it will be presumed, so far as the question of jurisdiction is
concerned, that the stockholders of such bank are citizens of the State where
the bank is located. (Ibid.) But in case of Commercial Bank of Cleveland
vs. Simmons, decided in the United States Circuit Court Northern District
of Ohio, it was held that a national bank does not sue in the Federal court
by virtue of any right conferred by the judiciary act of 1789, but by virtue
of the right conferred by its charter, the national bank act, and this would
seem to be the true doctrine. (See Thomp. National Bank Cases, p. 295. Also
First National Bank of Omaha vs. County of Douglas, 3 Dillon, p. 298, decided
by Mr. Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court.)
IX. Natioual banks can be sued only in the courts designated in the national
bank act. Therefore a State court of New York has no jurisdiction of an
action against a national bank located in Alabama. (Cadlevs. Tracy, 11
Blatch.,p. 101.) To the contrary of this, see Cooke vs. State National Bankt
 52 N. Y.,p. 96.


REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

79

ACTIONS—Continued.
X. Actions in their nature local, in the technical legal meaning of that word,
may be brought against a national bank in the State court of the proper
county. (Casey vs. Adams, 102 U. S., p. 66.)
(See, also, Title "JURISDICTION," post.)
XI. An action brought against a national bank in a State court was, upon its petition, removed to the Federal court, and a motion was made to remand it
in the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York.
Judge Wallace denied the motion on the ground that the right of a national
bank, as a corporation created by Congress, to remove a suit brought against
it in a State court, is clearly conferred by section 2 of the removal act of
1875. It has been determined that any suit brought by a corporation
created by Congress was one arising under the laws of the United States.
(Cruikshank vs. Fourth National Bank, June 19, 1883.;
XII. In a suit brought in the United States circuit court against the stockholders
of the Pacific National Bank upon their personal liability, motion was
made to dismiss suit for want of jurisdiction, based principally upon the
alleged effect of the act of July 12, 1882, placing national banks on the
same footing with other banks. The motion was denied.
XIII. The act of July 12, 1882, placed national and other banks on the same footing as to their right to sue in the Federal courts, and, consequently, a
national bank cannot, merely in virtue of a corporate right, sue in such
courts. But national banks, like other banks and citizens, may sue in such
courts whenever the subject-matter of litigation involves some matter of
Federal jurisdiction. (Union National Bank vs. Miller, C. C. S. D. Ohio, W.
D., March 26, 1883. Fed. Rep., vol. xv, 1703.)
XIV. Under section 1001 of the Revised Statutes no bond for the prosecution of
the suit, or to answer in damages and costs, is required on writs of error
or appeals issuing from or brought to this court by direction of the Comptroller of the Currency in suits by or against insolvent national banks, or
the receivers thereof. (Pacific National Bank vs. Geo. Mixter, U. S. Supreme
Court, October Term, 1884.)
ATTACHMENTS OF ASSETS.

I. When a creditor attaches the property of an insolvent national bank, he cannot hold such property against the claim of a receiver appointed after the
attachment suit was commenced. Such creditor must share pro rata with
all others. (Bank of Stlma vs. Colby, 21 Wall., p. 609; see, also, Harvey vs.
Allen, 16 Blatchf., p. 29.)
(See, also, Title "JURISDICTION," II, post.)
II. Section 5242 Revised Statutes United States prohibits the issuing of an attachment against a national bank by any State, county, or municipal court
before final judgment. (Central National Bank vs. Richland National Bank,
52 Howard [N F.], P- 136.)
III. In Bobinson vs. National Bank of New Berne, 58 Bow., p. 306, the court of
appeals decides that a State court can issue attachment process against a
solvent national bank, located in another State, upon which its funds within
the jurisdiction of such court can be seized and subjected to the satisfaction
of any claim established by the judgment of such tribunal. But in the
supreme court of New York, in Rhoner vs. First National Bank of Allen town,
14 Hun., p. 126, the contrary doctrine is held, in accordance with the ruling
in Central National Bank vs. Richland National Bank, 52 How., p. 136, heretofore cited."
[NOTE.—It is submitted that the latter is the correct rule. The currency
act favors the policy, on the part of country bauks, of keeping a large
portion of their reserve in certain cities. But if such banks are advised
that such reserve funds are there subject, at any moment, to be seized by
process of a State court, at the instance or caprice of any resident who may
think himself a creditor, such deposits will be made with more or less hesitation, or not at all.]
ATTORNEYS.

I. Section 56 of the currency act is directory only, and it cannot be objected by
defense that a suit is brought by a private attorney instead of the United
States district attorney. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall., p. 504.)
BY-LAWS.

I. A national bank cannot by its by-laws create a lien on the shares of a stockholder who is a debtor of the association. (Bullard\s. National Bank, tfc,
18 Wall., p. 589.)



80

EEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

BY-LAWS—Continued.
(See, also, case of Bank vs. Lanier, 11 Wall., p. 369, cited under "LOANS
ON SHARES," post.)
[NOTE.—In Young vs. Vough, 23 N. J. Equity R., p. 325, it was held that
a national bank could by its by-laws prohibit the transfer of shares by a
shareholder while indebted to the bank, and that transfers in violation of
such by-laws were void. As it is held by the Supreme Court of the United
States that such by-laws can create no lien for indebtedness, it would seem
that a regulation prohibiting such transfers can be of little practical use,
even if the power exists. ]
CHECKS.

X.
XI.

The holder of a check on a national bank cannot sue the bank for refusing
payment, in the absence of proof that it was accepted by the bank. (National Bank of the Republic vs. Millard, 10 Wall., p. 452.)
The relation of banker and customer is that of debtor and creditor. Receiving deposits is an important part of the business of banking, but the moment they are received they become the moneys of the bank, may be loaned
as a part of its general fund, and the check of the depositor gives no lien
upon them. (Ibid., p. 155.)
Perhaps, on proof that check had been charged to the drawer, and that the
bank had settled with him on that basis, the holder or payee could recover
on account for " money had and received.7' (Ibid., pp. 155-6.)
The facts that the bank was a United States depository and the check was
drawn by a United States officer to a United States creditor do not vary
the rule. (Ibid., pp. 155-6.)
Where a bank pays a check drawn on it in favor of a party whose indorsement thereon is forged, and the same has passed through several hands,
only reasonable diligence is required to be exercised in giving notice to
prior holders of the forgery, after its discovery, in order to hold them liable.
(Shrwder vs. Harvey, 75 III., p. 638.)
A clerk of plaintiffs received from their debtors, checks, payable to their
(plaintiffs') order, in payment of sums due. The clerk, wrongfully and
without authority, indorsed the names of the plaintiffs on these checks
and transferred them to other persons, appropriating the proceeds to his
own use. Subsequently these checks were deposited with a bank, which
in good faith collected them and paid over the proceeds to the depositors.
In a suit by plaintiffs against the bank to recover the amount so collected
by it: Held, that the bank was liable. (Johnson vs. First National Bank,
13 N. Y. Sup. Court.)
Bankers are presumed to know the signatures of their customers, and paychecks purporting to be drawn by them at their peril. ( Weisser vs. Dennison, 10 N. Y.,p. 68; National Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Grocers' National Bank, 35 Howard [_N. Y. P. R.,'] p. 412.) This last case holds that if
the bank, the drawee, pays the forged check to the holder, it cannot recover back the money so paid. The same doctrine was held in case of First
National Bank of Quincy vs. Bicker, 71 III., p. 439 ; but qualified by holding
that it applied only where the presumed negligence was all on the side of
the bank, and where the holder or payee had been guilty of no fraud or act
to throw the bank off its guard.
CERTIFYING.—National banks have the power to certify checks; and this
power may be exercised by the cashier without any special authorization.
The directors can limit this power, but such limitation will be no defense
as to parties having no notice. (Merchants' .National Bank vs. State National
Bank, 10 Wall., p. 604.)
A certificate of a bank that a check is good is equivalent to an acceptance
implying that the bank has the funds to pay it, and that they are set apart
for that purpose. (Ibid., p. 604.)
A national bank is liable on a check certified by its cashier to the holder in
good faith, although the drawer has no funds- in the bank when it was
certified. (Cooke vs. State National Bank, 52 N. Y., p. 96.)
The act of Cougress of March 3,1869, making it unlawful for a national bank
to certify checks unless the drawer has at the time funds on deposit TO an
amount equal to the amount specified in the check, does not invalidate a
conditional acceptance of a check by such bank, having no funds of the
drawer in its hands at the time, but engaging to pay the same when a
draft left with it for collection by the drawer shall have been paid. (First
National Bank vs. Merchants' National Bank, 7 West Va., p. 544.)




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

81

C HECKS—Continued.
XII. A bank is liable to pay a subsequent bonafidepurchaser the amount of a
check which it has certified, notwithstanding the check was fraudulently
raised, if before certification, from a smaller amount. (Louisiana National
Bank vs. Citizens' Bank, 28 La. Annual, p. 189.)
XIII. When a bank was chargeable with negligence in certifying a check, Which
was so drawn as to admit of a fraudulent alteration of the amount being
easily made, and the check ivas raised: Held, that the bank was liable to a
bonafideholder, for value, for the increased amount. (Helwege vs. Hibernia
National Bank, 28 La. Annual, p. 520.)
[NOTE.—As the above case unquestionably declares the true rule of law,
prudence would seem to dictate that cashiers should always insist upon
such filling up of checks as to render alteration impracticable, before certifying.]
XIV. A certified check is not deemed dishonored by delay between its date and the
time when it is sold to a bonafidepurchaser, for value, so that the latter
takes it as overdue, and subject to equities; because, by certifying, the
bank becomes the principal debtor, and liable indefinitely, like an acceptor
of a bill of exchange. Hence, one who in good faith, and after making
reasonable inquiry, bought a certified check, three or four months after its
date, which had been stolen, was held entitled to recover its amount. (Nolan vs. The Bank of New York, 67 Barb.,p. 24.)
XV. A check contained on its face this recital: "To hold as collateral for 1,000
P. T. oil, pipage paid to Jan. 4, 1876"; across.its face the cashier wrote,
"Good when properly indorsed": Held, that the check was not drawn in
the usual course of banking business, and therefore the certificate of the
cashier did not bind the bank. (Dorsey vs. Abrams et al.y bankers, 85 Pa.,
p. 299. See, further, as to liability on checks, certified or otherwise, Dodge
vs. National Exchange Bank, 30 O., p. 1; Security Bank vs. National Bank of
the Republic, 67 N. Y, p. 458; Andrews vs. German National Bank, 9 Heisk.
\_Tenn.}, p. 211.)
BANK CHECK.

XVI. (1.) An order drawn at Kansas City, Mo., on a bank in New York City, to pay
money to H. C. or order on demand, without days of grace, is a bank check.
(2.) EQUITABLE ASSIGNMENT OF PART OF DRAWER'S FUND ON DEPOSIT.—

Where the depositor of a fund in a bank draws his check for a part of that
fund, which is presented in due time, this is an appropriation, and an
equitable assignment of so much of the fund as is called tor by the check,
although no action at law could be maintained upon it.
(3.) EQUITABLE ASSIGNMENT FOR BENEFIT OF CREDITORS.—Where a

debtor, having a large fund in bank, drew his checks in favor of certain
creditors, and thereafter, before said checks were presented, made a general
assignment of all his property for the benefit of his creditors, under a State
insolvent law: Held, that the check-holders who presented their checks
and demanded payment, while the fund remained in the hands of the bank,
were entitled to payment as against the assignee. The checks amounted to
an appropriation of so much of the fund in which they were drawn, and to
that extent it did not pass to the assignee.
(4.) PRESENTATION OF CLAIM TO ASSIGNEE—ELECTION OF REMEDY.—The

presentation by the check-holders of their claims to the assignee, and his
allowance of them, and their receipt of dividends under the assignment,
was not the election by them of a remedy which prevents a recovery in this
case. (First National Bank of Cincinnati et al. vs. Kersey Coates et al. United
States circuit court, western district of Missouri, May term, 1881. In equity.)
XVII. B, a banker, in payment of moneys collected by him for C, gave his check on
the D bank for a sum less than the amount to his credit in that bank. Before the check was presented for payment B made an assignment for creditors, of which the bank had notice. Held, that the check operated as an
equitable assignment to C of the deposit to the amount named in the check,
and that C was entitled to such amount in preference to the assignee for
creditors. (German Savings Institution vs. Adae, United States Circuit Court,
Eastern District of Missouri, March, 1880.)
CIRCULATION.

The circulating notes of a national bank are valid without theljmprint of the
seal of the United States Treasury. ( U. S. vs. Bennett'll%Blatchf., 357.)
CITIZENSHIP.

I. National banks are citizens of the State in which they are organized and.
located, and when sued by national banks of other States have a right to

CITIZENSHIP—Continued.

demand a removal of the suit from a State to the proper Federal court.
{Chatham National Bank vs. Merchants1 National Bank, 4 Thompson <f Cooky
N. Y. Sup. C, p. 196, and 1 Hunter IN. F.], p. 702; Davis vs. Cook, 9 Nevada,
p. 134.)
(See also Title "ACTIONS" V and VI, supra.)
II. A national bank, being a citizen of the State in which it is located, may be
required to give security for costs when suing in another State; and in
the State of New York such security may be required, because the bank is
regarded as a corporation created by a foreign State. (National Park Bank
vs. Gunst, 1 Abbott's New Cases, p. 292.)
COLLECTIONS.

I. A bank receiving paper for collection undertakes to use due diligence in
making demand at maturity, and giving the proper notices of non-payment.
An unreasonable delay will charge the bank with liability for the amount;
and proof that the paper would not have been paid, if presented, will constitute no defense. (Bank of Washington vs. Triplett, 1 Peters, p. 25; Bank
of New Hanover vs. Kenner, 76 N. C.,p. 340; Steelevs. Russell,5 Nebr.,p. 211;
Capital State Bank vs. Lane, 52 Miss., p. 677; Fabens vs. Mercantile Bank, 23
Pick. [Mass.], p. 320.)
II. And if the bank receiving paper for collection, upon a sufficient consideration, transmits it to another bank to be collected, the receiving bank will
be liable for the misconduct of such other bank, unless there is some agreement to the contrary. (Montgomery County Bank vs. Albany City Lank, 7
N. Y., p. 459; Commercial Bank vs. Union Bank, 11 N. Y., p. 203; Kent vs.
Daivson, 13 Blatchf., p. 237; First National Bank vs. First National Bank of
Denver. 4 Dill, p. 290.)
III. A bank received a check upon itself for collection, being at the same time
a large creditor of the drawer, and failed, without excuse, to notify the
depositor of the non-payment of the check: Held, that the bank was chargeable for the negligence. (Bank of New Hanover vs. Kenner. supra.)
IV. A bank holding a check for collection, and accepting the certification of the
bank upon which it is drawn, in lieu of payment, assumes the risk and
thereby becomes liable to the owner for the amount, with interest from
date of certification. (Essex County National Bank vs. Bank of Montreal, 7
Bissell, p. 193.)
V. The Corn Exchange National Bank of Chicago sent defendant, the Dawson Bank,
at Wilmington, N. C , a draft drawn upon one- Wistvall, living at Washington,
N. C , for collection. Defendant by letter acknowledged the receipt of the
draft, stating that it had been credited to the Corn Exchange Bank and
entered for collection. Thereupon defendant sent draft to Burbank fy Gallagher, bankers at Washington, N. C , for collection. The latter house collected the draft, but failed and passed into bankruptcy before remitting.
In a suit brought by the assignee of the Corn Exchange National Bank
against the Dawson Bank to recover the proceeds of the draft: Held, per
Wallace, J., that the latter bank was liable for the amount. (Kent, assignee,
fyc, vs. The Dawson Bank, 13 Blatchf., p. 237.)
[NOTE.—The court concedes that the authorities are conflicting upon the
point involved in this case. In New York, Ohio, and in England, the decisions sustain the conclusions of Judge Wallace, while in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Pennsylvania precisely the contrary rule prevails. The
point was made in this case that the law of Illinois should control the rights
of parties, but it was held otherwise.]
VI. In an action by G against a bank it appeared that a note was made to G'a
order, indorsed by him, and sent through the house of B, a banker, for collection, and by B indorsed to the defendant bank "for collection and
credit": Held, that B, by the indorsement, did not become the owner of the
note, and had no right to pledge it, or direct its proceeds to be credited to
him in payment of his indebtedness to the defendant bank. (First National
Bank vs. Gregg, 79 Pa., p. 384.)
VII. In such case, if the defendant bank had made advances, or given new credit
to B on the faith of the note, it would have been entitled to retain the
amount out of the proceeds (Ibid.)
VIII. A bank holding a customer's demand note has a lien upon the proceeds of
drafts delivered to it for collection, after the giving of the note, though
collected after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, and can apply such
proceeds upon the notes. (Be Farnsworth, 5 Biss., p. 223.)

COLLECTIONS—Continued.

IX. A collection agent who receives from his principal a bill of lading of merchandise, delivered to order, and attaches to it a time draft, may, in the absence of special instructions, deliver the bill of lading to the drawee of the
draft upon the latter's acceptance of the draft. It is not the duty of the
agent to hold 1the bill after such acceptance. (National Bank of Commerce
vs. Merchants National Bank, 1 Otto, p. 92.)
X. WoolenfyCo., bankers at Indianapolis, sent to defendant, a bank at Buffalo,
a draft on one Bugbee; also bills of lading for sundry car-loads of lumber.
The remittance was by letter, which merely stated that the draft and bills
were sent to defendant for collection and remittance of proceeds to plaintiffs, Woolen <$• Co. The draft was drawn by, and to the order of, Coder 8f
Co., indorsed by them, by Mayhew, and the plaintiffs. By the terms of the
draft the drawer, indorsers, and acceptor waived presentment for payment
and notice of protest and non-payment. It was payable fifteen days after
its date, and it was admitted that by ordinary course of transit the lumber
would reach its destination eight days prior to the maturity of the draft.
There had been no business transactions between plaintiffs and defendants,
save one collection similar to this. Defendants presented the draft to Bugbee for acceptance, and upon such acceptance delivered to him the bills of
lading. Bugbee failed before the draft matured, and plaintiffs sued defendants for delivering the bills of lading to Bugbee before payment of the draft.
It was conceded that the draft was drawn for the price or value of the lumber: Held, per Wallace, J., that, the draft being on time, it must be presumed that it was the intent of parties that Bugbee should realize from
sale of the lumber the funds to meet the draft at maturity. Therefore,
upon his acceptance of the draft, he was entitled to the bills of lading, and
defendants were not liable for thus delivering them; but if the draft had
not been upon time, a different rule might have prevailed. ( WoolenfyWebb
vs. N. Y. and Erie Bank, 12 Blatehf., p. 359.)
XI. L transmitted to a bank a draft indorsed "for collection on his account."
The bank provisionally credited the draft, when received, to L, presented
it for payment, and surrendered it to the drawee on receipt of his check for
the amount. Instead of demanding the money on this check, the bank had
it certified "good," and on the same day suspended payment. The next
day the check was collected, and the money mingled with the other money
in the hands of the receiver: Held, that the receiver held the funds in trust
for L. (Levi vs. Missouri Bank, 5 Dillon, p. 104.)
XII. The general power of a bank to collect ceases by its suspension as to paper
previously deposited therewith. (Jockusch vs. Towsey, 51 Tex., p. 129.)
XIII. As to effect of indorsement "for collection," see Bank of Metropolis vs. First
National Bank of Jersey City, U. S. Circuit Court, S. D. N. Y., Bankers1 Magazine, August, 1884.
XIV. A bank in Pittsburgh sent to a bank in New York, for collection, eleven unaccepted drafts, dated at various times through a period of over three months,
and payable four months after date. They were all drawn on "Walter
M. Conger, secretary Newark Tea Tray Co., Newark, N. J.," and were
sent to the New York bank as drafts on the Tea Tray Company. The New
York bank sent them for collection to a bank in Newark, and in its letters
of transmission recognized them as drafts on the company. The Newark
bank took acceptances from Conger individually on his refusal to accept
as secretary, but no notice of that fact was given to the Pittsburgh bank
uutil after the first one of the drafts had matured. At that time the
drawers and an indorser had become insolvent, the drawers having been in
good credit when the Pittsburgh bank discounted the drafts: Held, that
the New York bank was liable to the Pittsburgh bank for such damages as
it had sustained by the negligence of the Newark bank.
The circuit court having on a trial before it without a jury made a finding of
facts which did not cover the issue as to damages, and given a judgment for
the defendant, this court, on reversing that judgment, remanded the case for
anew trial, being unable to render a judgment for the plaintiff for any specific amount of damages. (Exchange National Bank of Pittsburgh, Pa., vs.
The Third National Bank of New York City, U. S. Supreme Court,'lti84, Bankers' Magazine, February, 1885, p, 611.)
XV. Where a negotiable instrument, indorsed and delivered in blank to a bank,
though in fact onlj for collection, is sent by it to another bank for " collection and credit" before maturity, and the latter receives it without notice that it does not belong to the former, it may lawfully retain the proceeds of the collection to satisfy a claim for a general balance against the



84

COLLECTIONS—Continued.

other bank, if that balance lias been .allowed to arise and remain on the
faith of receiving payments from such collections pursuant to a usage between the two banks. ( Vickrey vs. State Savings Association, Federal Reporter, vol. 21, p. 773.
COMPROMISES.

I. In adjusting and compromising contested claims against it, growing out of a
legitimate banking transaction, a national bank may pay a larger sum than,
would have been exacted in satisfaction of them, so as to thereby obtain
a transfer of stocks of railroad and other corporations, in the honest belief
that, by turning them into money under more favorable circumstances than
then existed, a loss which it would otherwise suffer from the transaction
might be averted or diminished. (First National Bank vs. National Exchange
Bank, 2 Otto, p. 122.) .
II. So, also, it may accept stocks in satisfaction of a doubtful debt, with a view
to their subsequent conversion into money, in order to make good or reduce
an anticipated loss. (Ibid.)
(See, also, Title "ESTATE, REAL," I, post.)
III. A court has no power, under section 5324 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, to order the receiver of a national bank to compound debts
which are not " bad or doubtful " ; and a composition, under such an order,
of debts not bad or doubtful, is ineffectual. (Price, receiver, $c, vs. Yates,
2 Thomp. Cases, p. 204, U. S. Circuit Court, Western District Pa.)
IV, A receiver compromised suits with counsel for the United States: Held, that
the compromise would not be opened after a lapse of years, no fraud being
alleged. (Henderson vs. Myers, 11 Phil., Pa., p. 616.)
[NOTE.—This must have been a compromise made without a special order
of court. ]
COMPTROLLER.

I. The Comptroller appoints the receiver, and can therefore remove him. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall., p. 498.)
II. The Comptroller's certificate, reciting the existence of the facts, of which he
is required to be satisfied to justify the appointment of a receiver under
section 50 of the national bank act, is sufficient evidence of the validity of
such appointment in an action brought by such receiver. (Platt vs. Bebee,
57 N. ¥.,p. 339.)
III. The Comptroller must authorize any increase of the capital stock of a national
bank; and such increase must be certified by him, as prescribed by section
13 of the act of Congress providing for the organization of national banks.
(Charleston vs. People's National Bank, 5 S. C.,p. 103.)
IV. The Comptroller cannot subject the United States Government to the jurisdiction of a court, though he appears and answers to the suit. (Caseva.
Terrell, 11 Wall., p. 199.)
(See, also, Title " SHAREHOLDERS, INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY OF,"post.)

V. Where a national bank was put into insolvency by the Comptroller of the Currency, and a creditor, whose claim was disputed, recovered judgment seven
years after for an amount much larger than the amount of his claim at the
time of failure, on account of interest for the interval having been included
in the judgment, it was held that dividends must be calculated and paid
upon the amount of the claim at the time of the failure of the bank. (United
States ex rel. White vs. Knox, U. & Supreme Court, May 5, 1884.)
CONVERSION.

I. The conversion of a State into a nationl bank works no dissolution, only a
change of the original corporation ; nor does the latter thereby escape any
of its liabilities. (Maynard vs. Bank, 1 Brewster, Pa., p. 483; Kelsey vs. National Bank of Crawford County, 69 Pa., p. 426 ; Coffey vs. National Bank of
the State of Missouri, 46 Mo., p. 140.)
II. The certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency is conclusive as to the
regularity of the proceeding by which any bank has been converted into a
national bank. (B. U. Keyser, receiver, vs. Jane C. Hitz, Sup. Court, D. C.
Decided June 26, 1883.)
III. Where owners of more than two-thirds of stock consent to the conversion of
a bank into a national bank, the conversion may take place without the
concurrence of the remaining stockholders. (Ibid.)
IV. Although it might be more regular, it is not necessary that, on conversion,
a new stock book should be opened, or new certificates of stock issued.
(Ibid.)



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

85

CONVERSION—Continued.

V. A stockholder giving consent to conversion thereby becomes a stockholder in
the new bank, even if new certificates of stock are not issued. (Ibid.)
CREDITORS OF NATIONAL BANKS.

I. The respective rights and liabilities existing between a national bank and
its creditors and debtors become fixed when its insolvency occurs. * * *
All the property and assets of the association then become a fund, legallydedicated, first, to the satisfaction of any claim of the United States for
the redemption of its circulating notes, and, second, for a ratable distribution of the balance among its general creditors upon the principle of equality. (Balch vs. Wilson, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 276 ; 25 Minn., p. 299.)
II. The United States, as a creditor of a national bank, is not entitled to a priority of payment out of its assets over other creditors. (Cook Co. National
Bank and Aug. H. Burley, receiver* of said bank, appellants, vs. The United
States, U. S. Sup. Court, Oct. term, 1882.) This suit was appealed from the
United States circuit court, northern district Illinois, in the name of the
United States, by the bondsmen of McArthur, postmaster of Chicago. The
bank was a Government depository, and on its failure the proceeds of its
bonds deposited in the United States Treasury to secure deposits were sufficient to refund ail the public moneys, except about $20,000 of postal funds.
The bondsmen, being liable for any amount the bank might fail to pay if
the United States accepted pro rata dividends with other creditors, brought
suit for the whole amount, claiming priority of payment under a statute of
1797, providing that in the case of insolvent debtors of the United States,
the debt of the United States should first be satisfied from their estate.
The court decided that the statute of 1797 was suspended as to national
banks by the act authorizing the formation of national banks, by which
the United States was placed on the same footing as other creditors. The
court said: "We consider that act (national bank act) as constituting by
itself a complete system for the establishment and government of national
banks." (For further points decided in this case, see "Set-off.")
CURRENCY.

I. The word "currency," in a certificate of deposit, means money, including bank
notes, which, though not an absolute legal tender, are used as money by
authority of law, and are in circulation generally, at the locus in quo, on par
with coin. (Klauber vs. Biggerstaff, 47 Wis^p. 551.)
CURRENCY ACT.

I. The purpose of the currency act was, in part, to provide a currency for the
whole country, and, in part, to create a market for the Government loans. (Per
Strong, J., in Tiffany vs. National Bank of the State of Missouri, 18 Wall., p.
413.)
II. National banks organized under the act of Congress of June 3,1864, are the
instruments designed to be used to aid the Government in the administration of an important branch of the public service; and Congress, which is
the sole judge of the uecessity for their creation, having brought them into
existence, the States can exercise no control over them, nor in any wise affect
their operation, except so far as Congress may see proper to permit. (Per
Swayne, J., in Farmers and Mechanics' National Bank vs. Bearing, 1 Otto, p.
29.)'
III. The constitutionality of the act of June 3,1864, is unquestioned. It rests on
the same principle as the act creating the second Bank of the United States.
The reasoning of Secretary Hamilton and of this court in McCulloch vs. The
State of Maryland, 4 Wheat., p. 316, and in Osborne vs. Bank U. S., 7 Wheat.,
p. 708, therefore applies.
IV. The power to create carries with it the power to preserve. The latter is a
corollary of the former. (Ibid., per Swayne, J., pp. 33, 34.)
DEBTORS OF NATIONAL BANKS.

I. Debtors of an insolvent national bank, when sued by the receiver, cannot
object that pleadings do not show a compliance with all the steps prescribed
by statutes as preliminary to the appointment of such receiver. (Cadle,
receiver,tyc,vs. Baker $ Co., 20 Wall., p. 650.)
II. Such ordinary debtors may be sued by receiver without previous order of the
Comptroller. (Bank vs. Kennedy, 17 Wall., p. 19.)



86

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

DEPOSITS.

I. CERTIFICATES OF.—A certificate of deposit was issued by a bank for a certain
sum, subject to the order of the depositor at a certain date, payable on the
return of the certificate: Held, in an action on said certificate against the
bank, brought by an assignee, that there could be no recovery without
proof of an actual demand and refusal of payment. {Brown vs. McJSlroy,
52 Ind.,p. 404.)
II. In a suit against the bank upon a stolen certificate of deposit, given by the
defendant to the plaintiff, reciting that he had deposited in the bank a certain number of dollars, payable to his order in current funds, on the return
of the certificate, properly indorsed: Held,first,that the instrument should
be regarded as the promissory note of the bank, assignable under the statute (of Indiana), but that it was not negotiable as an inland bill of exchange,
being made payable not in money, but "in current funds;" second, that
the payee could recover on said stolen certificate without giving a bond
against a subsequent claim thereunder by another person. {National State
Bank vs. Eingel, 51 Ind., p. 393.)
III. Where a bank issues a certificate of deposit, payable on its return, properly
indorsed, it is liable thereon to a bona-fide holder, to whom it was transferred seven years after it was issued, notwithstanding the payment thereof
to the original holder. Such certificate is not dishonored until presented.
(National Bank of Fort Edward vs. Washington County National Bank, 5 Hun.,
N. Y. Sup. Court, p. 605.)
IV. Under a statute prohibiting the circulation of bills or notes not payable on
demand, banks have no power to issue time certificates of deposit; and
such certificates, if issued, are void. They are equivalent to post notes.
{Bank of Peru vs. Farnesworth, 18 III., p. 563; Bank of Orleans vs. Merrill,
2 Hill [N. Y.], p. 295; Leavitt vs. Palmer, 3 JV. Y. [Corns*.], p. 19.)
(See also, "CURRENCY," supra.)
V. GENERAL.—The relation between a bank and its depositors is that of debtor
and creditor only, and is not fiduciary. Thus, a note deposited for collection, if passed to the credit of the depositor in his general account, then
overdrawn, becomes the property of the bank, which becomes indebted to
him for the proceeds. Upon the bankruptcy of the bank, the proceeds are
assets available to the general creditors. And the fact that the account
was made good by other deposits before collection of the note makes no
difference. {In re Bank of Madison, 5 Bissell, p. 515.) A national bank may
also apply a deposit in payment of a matured note held against the depositors. {Home Bank vs. Newton, 8 III., App., 563.)
VI. A deposit is general, unless the depositor makes it special, or deposits it expressly in some particular capacity. And in case of a general deposit of
money with a banker, a previous demand by the depositor, or some other
person by his order, is indispensable to the maintenance of an action for the
deposit, unless circumstances are shown which amount to a legal excuse.
{Brahm vs. Adkins, 77 III, p. 263.)
VII. A national bank having become insolvent, a depositor therein assigned his
deposit to a debtor of the bank: Held, that the latter could not offset such
deposit against his debt, in an action thereon. (Venango National Bank vs.
Taylor, 56 Pa., p. 14.)
VIII. A depositor was also indebted to the bank on bond and mortgage: Held, that
he could offset his deposit against said indebtedness, the bank being in the
hands of a receiver. {Matter of New Amsterdam Savings Bank vs. Gartter, 54
How. [N. Y. P. 2J.], p. 385.)
JX. The claims of depositors in a suspended national bank are, when proved to
the satisfaction of the Comptroller of the Currency, on the same footing as
if they were reduced to judgments, and from date of such proof bear interest. (National Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Michigan National Bank, 94
U. S. [4 Otto], p. 437.)
X. SPECIAL.—The taking of special deposits to keep, merely for the accommodation of the depositor, is not within the authorized business of national
banks; and the cashiers of such banks have no power to bind them on any
express contract accompanying, or any implied contract arising out of such
taking. ( Wiley vs. First National Bank, 47 Ft,p. 546.)
[NOTE.—To the same effect was the decision of the New York court of
appeals in First Nat. Bank of Lyons vs. OaanNat. Bank, 60 N. Y., p. 278. But
it is to be remembered that in both these cases only the act of the cashier
was relied upon to bind the bank. In the latter case it was stated that
there was no proof of even implied knowledge or assent on the part of the
directory. In the well-reasoned case of Weckler vs. First Nat. Bank of
Hagerstown, 42 Md.,p. 581, these cases are cited with decided approval; but



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

87

DEPOSITS—Continued.

a recent decision of the Supreme Court goes very far towards establishing a
different doctrine. In National Bank vs. Graham, 100 U. S., p. 699, the
Supreme Court held that section 52*28 R. S. U. S. conferred upon a national
bank power to receive and take charge of special deposits, such as the
public securities of the Government, and that such bank is liable in
damages for the loss, through gross negligence, of such deposit, when it had
been made with the knowledge and acquiescence of its officers and directors. The learned judge who delivered the opinion (Mr. Justice Swayne)
cited numerous State decisions, only referring to the cases in Vermont as
being in conflict with the weight of adjudications, and based the conclusion of the court upon the doctrine that " gross negligence on the part of
a gratuitous bailee, though not a fraud, was equivalent thereto in legal
effect, and that the doctrine of ultra vires has no application in favor of a
corporation when guilty of a wrong."]
XL A national bank receiving a special deposit for safe-keeping, without reward,
is liable only for gross negligence. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff,
and gross negligence is not the omission of that care which every attentive
and diligent person takes of his own goods, but the omission of that care
which the most inattentive takes. (First National Bank, $c, vs. Bex, 89
Perm., p. 308.)
In Pattison vs. Syracuse Bank, 80 N. Y., 82, the case of Nafl Bank of Lyons
vs. 1Ocean National Bank is substantially overruled, following the ruling in
Nat 1 Bank vs. Graham. See also First National Bank of Mansfield vs. Zent
(supreme court of State of Ohio).
XII. AUTHORITY OF BANK TO APPLY DEPOSIT IN PAYMENT OF DEBTS.—Wherea de-

positor in a bank is indebted to the bank by bill, note, or other independent
indebtedness, the bank has a right to apply so much of the funds of the
depositor to the payment of his matured indebtedness as may be necessary
to satisfy the same. (Appellate court, first district, held at Chicago. Home
National Bank vs. Newton.)
So, where the bank held the note of a depositor for a certain sum, the
bank could, on the morning of the last day of grace upon such note, apply
to its payment any money of the depositor then remaining on deposit in
such bank.—[Chicago Legal News.]
DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL BANKS.

I. Directors of a national bank may remove the president, both under the law
of Congress and the articles of association, where the latter so provide.
The power exists if the bank has adopted no by-laws. (Taylor vs. Mutton,
43 Barb., N. Y. Sup. Court, p. 195; S. C, 18 Abb. Pr. E.,p. 16.)
II. In all cases where an act is to be done by a corporate body, a majority of the
whole number of directors is necessary to constitute a valid meeting ; but
at a meeting when a quorum is present the majority of those present may
act. A by-law adopted when less than a majority is present is void.
(Lockwood vs. American v National Bank, 9 Rhode Island, p. 308.)
(See Title " OFFICERS, post.)
III. The power to compromise or release claims in favor of a bank is in the board
of directors and not within 7the scope of the cashier's authority. (Chemical
Bank vs. Kohner, 8 Daly [A . F.], p. 530.)
IV. In Bostwick vs. Brinkerhoffn suit was begun in the supreme court of the State
of New York, by a stockholder of the National Bank of Fishkill, to recover
damages from the directors for their neglect of their official duties. A
demurrer was filed to the complaint, which raised, among others, the qnestion whether such an action could be brought in a State court. The
supreme court of the State sustained the demurrer and dismissed the complaint. The judgment was affirmed at general term. An appeal was taken
to the court of appeals, where the judgment of the general term was reversed, and the case was remitted to the supreme court to be proceeded
upon according to law. A writ of error was taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States, which decided that a judgment of reversal by a State
court with leave for further proceedings in the court of original jurisdiction is not subject to review in the United States Supreme Court.
(Supreme Court, 106 U. S.)
V. Acker man vs. Halsey was a suit brought in the circuit court of Essex County,
New Jersey, by a stockholder of the Mechanics' National Bank of Newark,
N. J., against a director of that bank, to recover the value of stock lost by
the insolvency of the bank through the negligence of directors. The defendant demurred on the ground that directors could not be sued for injury



88

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL BANKS—Continued

by an individual stockholder, but only by the corporation or receiver.
Judge Depue sustained the demurrer, stating that such suits should be
brought by the receiver in behalf of the corporation, its creditors and
stockholders, but that if the receiver refused to bring such suit, any stockholder might do so, joining with himself all other stockholders. This decision was rendered in April, 1882.
VI. Conivay vs. Halsey, New Jersey Supreme Court. Bankers' Magazine for November f

1883, p. 378. This was a suit brought by a stockholder of the Mechanics'
National Bank of Newark, N. J., against the president and directors, for
neglect and mismanagement, &c. It was demurred to on grounds similar
to the preceding case, and the demurrer was sustained. The plaintiff also
held that he had the right to recover under section 5239 of the Revised
Statutes. On this point the judge held that that statute only applied when
the charter of the corporation was forfeited on account of willful violation
of law on the part of the directors. In this case the plaintiff did not showany willful violation of law by which a direct injury was done to the stockholders. The injuries received were indirect, because the directors were
alleged to have permitted, by their negligence, the property of the corporation to be squandered, purloined, or lost.

EMBEZZLEMENT.

I. When the president of a national bank, having charge of its funds, converts
them to his own use, he embezzles and abstracts them within section 55 (R. S.,
sec. 5209) of the national bank act, unless he shows authority for thus using
them.

(In the matter of Van Campen, 2 Benedict, p. 419, per Blatchford,

J.)

II. Although false entries in regard to such embezzlement are made on the books
of such bank by the clerk, but by the order of the president, the latter is
chargeable as principal; and the intent to defraud the bank is to be inferred
from the fact of such embezzlement. (Ibid.)
III. The cashier of a national bank was indicte.d under said section 55 for embezzling and willfully misapplying the moneys of the bank with intent to defraud, &c. On trial it was proved that defendant took the moneys of the
bank and used them in stock speculations, carried on in his own name, by
depositing the same with a stock broker as " margins" for stock bought on
his own account. Meld, that the intent to injure or defraud was conclusively
presumed upon proof of the act charged ; and, therefore, evidence was not
admissible to prove that the cashier used the funds with the knowledge and
consent of the president and some of the directors of the bank, and on account of and for the benefit of the bank. (United States vs. Taintor, 11
Blatchf,p. 374.)
[NOTE.—This last case was decided in the United States circuit court,
southern district of New York, Woodruff, Blatchford, and Benedict, JJ., all
concurring in the decision.]
IV. A State court has no jurisdiction of the crime of embezzlement by an officer
of a national bank situated within the State. (Commonwealth vs. Felton, 101
Mass., p. 204 ; State vs. Tuller, 34 Conn., p. 280.) But in this latter case it
was also held that while a teller of such bank could not be punished for
embezzling the funds of the bank, he could be convicted, under the statute
of the State, for purloining property deposited with such bank for safekeeping ; and in Commonwealth vs. Barry, 116 Mass., p. 1, it was decided
that though an officer of a national bank, who has stolen its property, may
be subject to punishment for embezzlement under the national law, he may
also be punished for the same act, as a larceny, under the statute of the
State.
ESTATE, REAL.

I. The want of power of a bank, or of its trustee (receiver) in insolvency, to
purchase and hold real estate, does not render void an arrangement whereby land subject to a lien in favor of the bank, and to other liens, is discharged of those other liens by funds from the assets of the bank, the land
being then sold, and the entire proceeds of such sale realized to the bank
assets, provided the title does not pass through the bank or its trustees.
(Zantzingers vs. Gunlon, 19 Wall.,}). 32.)
1L In Union National Banket al. vs. Mathews, 98 U. S., p. 658, the court recognized the doctrine that, " where a corporation is incompetent by its charter
to take a title to real estate, a conveyance to it is not void, but only voidable, and the sovereign alone can object. It is valid unless assailed in a
direct proceeding instituted for that purpose."



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

89

ESTATE, REAL—Continued.

[NOTE.—Thus it would seem that a mortgage executed to secure a present
loan, or any other conveyance of real estate to a national bank, must be
held valid until declared void in a direct proceeding instituted for that purpose by the United States Government.]
(See, also, Wroten's Assignee vs. Armat, 31 Grattan, p. 238.)

III. The title to real estate taken by a national bank, on adjustment of a Liability in its favor, must be held valid until attacked by the United States, in
direct proceedings instituted for that purpose. Such title cannot be impeached collaterally, in an ejectment suit. (Mapes et at. vs. Scott et al.9
94, III., p. 379; National Bank vs. Whitney, 106 V. S., p. 99 ; Graham vs. National Bank, 32 X. J. Eq., p. 804; Warner vs. Dewitt, 4 III. App., p. 305.)
(See, also, Title il LOANS ON REAL ESTATE," post.)

ESTOPPEL.

I. A shareholder in a national bank, who has participated in its transactions as
such, and received dividends, is estopped from denying the legality of its
incorpoiation. The same rule applies to one accustomed to deal with a
national bank as such, as by giving his promissory note to such bank.
(Wheelock vs. Kost, 77 III., p. 296; National Bank of Fair haven vs. Phoenix
Warehousing Company, 6 Hun. [2V. Y.~\, p. 7 1 ; Casey vs. Galli, 94 U. S., p.

673, and numerous cases therein cited.)
II. The Manufacturers' National Bank of Chicago, defendant, being the city correspondent of the People's Bank of Belleville, plaintiff, guaranteed to the latter
bank the payment of certain notes of one Picket, pursuant to an agreement
that thus guaranteed their amount should be, as it teas, debited to the account
of the Belleville Bank. Such agreement, and the guarantee in pursuance
thereof, were made by the vice-president of the defendant bank, with the
assent of the president and cashier, but without the assent of the directors.
Held, that under the circumstances the defendant bank was estopped from
setting up, as a defense, that such guarantee was ultra vires. {People's Bank
vs. National Bank, 101 U. S., p. 181.)

[NOTE.—It will be observed that this decision stops far short of legalizing naked accommodation paper made by a national bank.]
111. A national bank which has wrongfully converted to its own use the property
of another, is estopped from denying its liability to account therefor upon
the ground that it received and held the property in carrying on the business of a warehousman, outside the powers conferred by its charter. {German National Bank vs. Meadowcroft, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 462.

Sup. Court III.)

EVIDENCE.

I. Even if it be within the authority of the president of a national bank to bind
the bank by an agreement with the acceptor of a draft, which is discounted
by the bank, not to enforce the draft against him, yet oral evidence of such
an agreement is not competent in defense of a suit by the bank against the
acceptor. {Davis vs. Randall, 115 Mass., p. 547.)
II. The certificate of the Comptroller of the organization of a national bank is
conclusive evidence as to the completeness of such organization, in a suit
against one of its shareholders. {Casey vs. Galli, ante; Thatcher vs. West
River National Bank, 19 Mich., p. 196.)
III. In ordering an assessment for the payment of the debts of an insolvent bank,
the stock certificates and stock ledger of the bank must be taken by the
Comptroller of the Currency, in the absence of fraud or mistake, as showing who the stockholders were at the time of the failure. {Davis vs. Essex
Baptist Society, 44 Conn., p. 582.)

IV. The maker of a certificate of deposit cannot overcome its effect, as proof of
a deposit actually made, except by clear and satisfactory evidence. (First
National Bank of Lacon vs. Meyers, 83 III., p. 507).
INTEREST.

I. Under section 30, act of 1864, a national bank in any State may take as high
rate of interest as by the laws of such State a natural person may stipulate for, although State banks of issue are restricted to a less rate. (Tiffany
vs. National Bank of the State of Missouri, 18 Wall., p. 409.)

il. As the action was virtually brought to recover the penalty for usury, the
statute (section 30) must receive a strict construction. (Ibid., p. 409.)
[NOTE.—In Missouri, natural persons may take ten per cent., but State
banks are restricted to eight per cent. In this case the national bank had
taken nine per cent: Held, legal.]

INTEREST—Continued.

III. In a suit by a national bank uix>n a bill of exchange discounted by it, the
acceptor cannot set up by way of counter-claim, or set-off, that the bank
in discounting a series of bills of said acceptor, the proceeds of which it
used to pay other bills, knowingly took, and was paid, a greater rate of
interest than that allowed by law. (Barnett vs. National Bank, 98 TJ. 8. [8
Otto'], p. 555.)

IV. The act of June 3, 1864 (R. S., sec. 5198), having prescribed that, as a penalty for such taking, the person paying such unlawful interest, or his legal
representative, may in an action of debt against the bank recover back twice
the amount so paid, he can resort to no other mode or form of procedure.
(Brown vs. Second National Bank of Erie, 72 Pa., p. 209; Barnett vs. National Bank, 98 U. S., p. 555.)

[NOTE.—The above case of Barnett vs. National Bank, 98 TJ. S., p. 555,
overrules several State adjudications, and settles several points in regard
to usurious interests as affecting loans by national banks. It holds that
when suit is brought by such bank to recover a loan made at usurious rate,
stipulated for, but not paid, the entire interest thus agreed upon, but no
part of the principal, is forfeited, and the latter may be recovered in full;
that when the usurious interest has been paid, twice its sum may be recovered by the borrower, but this can only be done by a suit directly brought
for that purpose, which suit must be in the nature of an action of debt,
commenced, of course, within the two years specified. Suppose, then, A
borrows $1,000 from a national bank on 90 days' time, and for the loan actually pays usurious interest in advance. Suppose his paper is protested
and suit is brought upon it. It follows that while A cannot offset twice
the usurious interest he has paid, nor any part thereof, in reduction of the
face of his paper, the bank can recover from him not only the principal of
the loan, but legal interest thereon from the date of maturity of the note
or bill.]
(See, also, Natl. Bank vs. Bearing, 91 TJ. S.,p. 29, and Title "USURY,"
post.)
ON CLAIMS OF CREDITORS.—Where a national bank is put in charge of a
receiver, under section 50 of the original Currency Act (R. S., sec. 5234),
and a sufficient sum is realized from its assets to pay all claims against it
and leave a surplus, th«* Comptroller ought to allow interest on the claims
during the period of administration, before appropriating the surplus to
the stockholders of the bank. An action of assumpsit by the holder of
such a claim will not lie against the Comptroller, nor against the receiver,
but will lie against the bank. (Chemical National Bank vs. Bailey, 12
Blatchf, p. 480.)
In such action interest is recoverable on all demands originating in contract
conditioned for the payment of interest, and on all demands for money due
and unpaid, by way of damages for non-payment after such demands became due. And interest is recoverable on a balance due a depositor in such
bank, although he has made no formal demand of payment. (Ibid.) But,
as to this last point, see the ruling of the Supreme Court.
In the case of National Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Mechanics1 National Bank,
4 Otto, p. 437, the United States Supreme Court decided that a depositor in
a national bank, when it suspends payment and a receiver is appointed, is
entitled from the date of his demand to interest on the deposit; that the
claims of depositors in such bank at date of suspension, for t i e amount of
their deposits, are, when proved to the satisfaction of the Comptroller of
the Currency, placed upon the same footing as if reduced to judgments;
that is to say, they draw interest from tjhe time of such proof and allowance.
It was also decided that, such interest being a liquidated sum at the time
of the payment of the deposit, an action lies to recover it, and intercut thereon.
When the Comptroller assesses shareholders to pay the debts of an insolvent
national bank, such assessment bears interest from the date of the Comptroller's order. (Casey^ vs. Galli, ante.)
A statute of New York, fixing the rate of interest at 7 per cent., also makes
forfeiture of principal and interest the penalty for taking interest at a
greater rate. Notwithstanding this statute, the courts of that State have
held that the payee of a promissory note may, in good faith, sell and indorse
it to a third party for a sum agreed upon, amounting as discount to any
rate in excess of that prescribed by law ; that such purchaser may recover
from the maker principal and interest iu full, and that if it be necessary to
resort to the indorser, the purchaser may recover against him the actual
sum paid for the note with interest.

INTEREST—Contin ued.

Acting upon these adjudications, a national bank in that State discounted
for a customer notes (all paid at maturity) for sums aggregating $2,735.36
in excess of the legal rate of interest. Subsequently the seller sued the
bank to recover, under sections 5197 and 5198 of the national bank act, the
penalties therein prescribed, to wit, double the aggregate paid.
In the State courts the plaintiff had judgment as prayed, and on writ of
error to the court of appeals of New York, the Supreme Court of the United
States affirmed the judgment below ; holding that,
"Although under the laws of New York a contract between natural persons to reserve and pay upon the discount of business paper any stipulated
rate of interest (discount) may be valid, such contract, if a national bank
be party thereto, and the paper be, in pursuance thereof, transferred to it,
is in violation of said sections, if the rate agreed upon exceeds 7 per cent.,
and subjects such bank to the penalties therein prescribed. (National Bank
vs. Johnson, 104 U. S., 271.)
JUDGMENTS.

I. A judgment against a national bank in the hands of a receiver, upon a claim,
only establishes the validity of such claim; the plaintiff can have no execution on such judgment, but must await pro rata distribution. (Bank of
Bethel vs. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., p. 383, and Clifford, J., p. 402.)
JURISDICTION.

I. A United States District Court has jurisdiction to authorize a receiver of an
insolvent national bank to compromise a debt. (Matter of Platt, 1 Ben., p.
534.)
II. A resident (citizen) of Kentucky was a creditor of a national bank located in
Alabama, and commenced a suit on his claim against said bank in the supreme court of the State of New York, at the same time attaching certain
moneys belonging to said bank, in the hands of the National Park Bank, in
New York. Subsequently the receiver of the Alabama bank (which had
failed) was, on his own motion, made party defendant to the action pending
in the New York supreme court, and pleaded " want of jurisdiction" and
other defenses. The supreme court overruled his plea to the jurisdiction,
rendered judgment against the receiver on the merits, and ordered satisfaction to be made from the moneys attached. Thereupon the receiver filed
his bill in chancery in the United States Circuit Court for the proper circuit,
praying an injunction to restrain the collection of the judgment rendered by
said supreme court, and that the moneys attached be paid to him as receiver.
Held, that, by the provisions of the Currency Act, the State court was deprived of jurisdiction of the attachment proceedings ; that the receiver was
not estopped by the proceedings in said State court from asserting his
rights in said Circuit Court, and that he was entitled to the relief prayed
for in his bill. (Cadle, receiver, <fc, vs. Tracy, 11 Blatchf, p. 101.)
(See, also, Title " RECEIVERS,"VII, post.)
III. State courts have no jurisdiction of actions to recover penalties imposed by
the national bank act. (Newell vs. National Bank of Somerset, 12 Bush.
y^p
See, also, Title "EMBEZZLEMENT," IV, ante.)
IV. The United States Circuit Court has no jurisdiction of a suit by a private person to restrain or interfere with the Treasurer of the United States or the
Comptroller of the Currency in the discharge of their duties in respect to
bonds deposited to secure the redemption of circulating notes of a national
bank. ( Fan Antwerp vs. Hubbard, Blatchf.,p. 426.)
V. An action will not lie against the Comptroller nor the receiver, upon a claim
against an insolvent national bank, but will lie against such bank. (Chemical National Bank vs. Bailey, ante. See, also, Bank of Bethel vs. Pahquioque
Bank, ante.)
VI. A national bank cannot be sued in the United States District Courts outside
of the district where it is located. (Main vs. Second Nat. Bank of Chicago,
6 Bissellyp. 2(5.)

VII. Nor can such action be brought against a national bank in a State court, save
in the county or city where it is located. (Crocker vs. Marine National Bankt
101 Mass.,p. 240.)
(See, also, Title "ACTION," VII, ante ; also "EMBEZZLEMENT," IV, ante.
VIII. The provision of section 5198, U. S. Rev. Stats., requiring that suits, actions,
and proceedings against a national bank in any State, county, or municipal
court must be brought in the county in which such bank is located, is held

JURISDICTION—Continued.

to apply to transitory actions only, and not to such actions as are by law
local in their character. (Casey,receiver,^c, vs. Adams, 2 Thomp. Cases,p.
102. U. S. Supreme Court.)
[NOTE.—The jurisdiction of the local court was sustained in this cause,
although it seemed clear that a complete remedy might have been had in
the U. S. Circuit Court at New Orleans, where the bank was situated.]
IX. National banks are not entitled, by force of the national bank act, to have
any suit in a State court, wherein they are parties defendant, removed to a
Federal court. ( Wilder vs. Union Nat. Bank, 2 Thomp. Cases,p. 124.)
X. National banks are not authorized to sue in the Federal courts out of the districts in which they are located when the amount sued for does not exceed
$500. (St. Louis Bank vs. Brinkham, 1 McCrary, 9.)
[NOTE.—As to present jurisdiction of Federal and State courts, see act
of Congress of July 12,1882,proviso to section 4.]
LOANS IN EXCESS.

I. A loan by a national bank in excess of the restriction of section 29 of the act
of 1864 (Revised Statutes, section 5200), which provides that the total liabilities of any person (borrower) shall not exceed ten per centum of the
capital stock, & c , is not void on that account. The loan maybe enforced,
though the bank maybe liable to proceedings for forfeiture of its privileges,
&c, for making it. (Stewart vs. National Union Bank of Maryland, 2 Abb.,
United States, p. 424. See, also, O'Hare vs. Second National Bank, 77 Pa.,
p. 96.)
II. In Samuel M. Shoemaker vs. The National Mechanics- Bank and The same vs.
The National Union Bank, application for injunction, & c , United States Circuit Court, Baltimore, Md., Judge Giles held, * * * "As to the first
charge in this bill against the defendant, in reference to the amount loaned
to Bayne & Co., in violation of the twenty-ninth section of the act of June
3, 1864, I would only say that the loan made under such circumstances is
not void ; it can be enforced as any other loan made by the bank." ( Vide
31 Md.,p. 396.)
III. The validity of a loan in excess of the above-named statutory restriction was
established and set at rest by the decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of Gold Mining Company vs. Rocky Mountain National
Bank, 96 U. S. [6 Otto'], p. 640.
LOANS ON REAL ESTATE.

I. A executed a note to B, and, to secure payment thereof, also executed a deed
of trust on lands, which was in effect a mortgage, with a power of sale
thereto annexed. A national bank, on the security of the note and deed,
loaned money to B, who thereupon assigned them to the bank. The note
not being paid at maturity, the trustee was proceeding to sell the lands
pursuant to the power, when A filed a bill in chancery to enjoin the sale,
upon the ground that by sections 5136-'37, Revised Statutes, the deed did
not inure as a security for a loan made by the bank at the time of the
assignment of said note and deed: Held, that the bank was entitled to enforce collection of the note by a sale of the lands pursuant to the power in
the deed of trust. ( Union National Bank of Saint Louis vs. Matthews, 98 U. S.
[8 Otto~\, p. 621.) Mr. Justice Miller dissented, holding the note valid, but
that the deed was inoperative as security to the bank.
[NOTE.—It is now well settled that a mortgage given to secure a loan
from a national bank, executed directly to the bank when the loan is made,
. is valid, unless set aside by proceedings instituted for that purpose by the
Government. (National Bank vs. Whitney, 103 U. S., p. 99; Graham vs.
National Bank, 32 N. J. Eq., p. 804; Warner vs. Dewitt, 4 III. App., p. 305;
Thornton vs. Exchange National Bank, 71 Mo., 221.)]
LOANS ON SHARES.

I. National banks are governed by the act of 1864, which repealed the act of
1863, and cannot, therefore, make loans on the security of their own shares,
unless to secure a pre-existing debt, contracted in good faith. (Bank, tfc,
vs. Lanier, 11 Wall,p. 369.)
II. The placing of funds by one bank on permanent deposit with another bank
is a loan within the spirit of section 35 of act of 1864. (Ibid., p. 369.)
III. Loans by such banks to their shareholders do not cieate a lien on the shares
of such borrowers. (Ibid., p. 369.)
(See, also, Bullard vs. Bank, 18 Wall., p. 580; and " BY-LAWS," supra,)



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

93

LOANS ON SHARES—Continued.

IV. But a national bank has the right to make loans on negotiable notes secured
by the stock of another corporation, of marketable values. (Shoemaker vs.
National Mechanics' Bank, 1 Hugh., p. 101.) The same doctrine was also
held in the case of Germania National Bank et al. vs. F. F. Case, receiver, <f c,
decided by the United States Supreme Court, 99 U. S. [9 Otto], p. 628.
LOCATION.

I. Under sections 6, 8, 10, 15, 18, and 44 of the original Currency Act (13 Stat.
at Large, 101), respecting the location of banking associations, a national
bank is to be regarded as located at the place specified in its organization
certificate. If such a place is in a State, the association is located in that
State. (Manufacturers' National Bank vs. Baack, 8 Blatchf, p. 137.)
OFFICERS.

I. CASHIER. The cashier is the general executive officer of a bank, having
charge of its funds, notes, bills, and other choses in action. Either directly
or through his subordinates he receives all moneys and notes of the bank,
delivers up discounted paper when paid, draws checks to withdraw funds
of the bank when deposited, and generally, as such executive officer, transacts most of the bank business. ( United States vs. City Bank of Columbus,
21 How., p. 356, and numerous later decisions.)
II. But the cashier can make no declaration binding the bank not within the
scope of his general powers. (Bank of Metropolis vs. Jones, 8 Pet., p. 12; S.
P., 3 Watts <f 8., [Pa.], p. 317; 3 Gill [Jfd.], P- 96.)
III. A cashier who has made sale of corporate property, and holds a balance in his
hands, is the agent of the board of directors, and not of the respective
stockholders, and cannot be charged by an individual stockholder as holding such balance for his benefit. (Brown vs. Adams, 5 Biss., p. 181.)
IV. A cashier, without special authority, cannot bind his bank by an official indorsement of his individual note, and the onus is on the payee to show such
authority. (West Saint Louis Savings Bank vs. Shawnee Co. Bank, 3 Dill,
p. 403.)
V. Although the cashier of a bank may, in the ordinary course of business, without the action of the directors, dispose of the negotiable securities of the
bank, he has not the power to pledge its assests for the payment of an antecedent debt. (State of Tennessee vs. Davis, 50 How. IN. Z.], p. 447.)
VI. A cashier has not the authority to compromise or release a claim of the bank.
(Chemical Bank vs. Kohner, 8 Daley [iV. Y.], p. 530.)
VII. DIRECTORS. It is the duty of directors of a bank to use ordinary diligence
in acquiring knowledge of its business. They cannot be heard, when sued,
to say that they were not apprised of facts the existence of which is shown
by the books, accounts, and correspondence of the bank. They should control the subordinate officers of the bank in all important transactions.
Therefore, under the circumstances proved in this particular case, they
were held liable for the abstraction and sale of special deposits by the latter. ( United Society, $c, vs. Underwood, 9 Bush [Ky.~\, p. 609; German Bank
vs. WulfekiMer, 19 Kansas, p. 60.)
VIII. The cashier of a national bank, who had executed no bond, embezzled its
funds, discovery whereof might have been effected by use of slight diligence on the part of the directory. They, however, published, according
to law, a statement of the condition of the bank, which showed that its
affairs were being prudently and honestly administered, and from which
the public had aright to believe that he*was trustworthy. Afterwards,
persons who had seen this report became sureties on the official bond of
cashier, and for his subsequent embezzlements were sought to be held liable
thereon : Held, that such sureties, being misled by the statement, were released. They had a right to believe that the directors, before publishing
it, investigated the condition of the bank. (Graves vs. Lebanon National
Bank, 10 Bush [Ky.~\, p. 23.)
IX. The mere fact that directors of a bank knew of and sanctioned overdrafts will
not release from liability the sureties of a teller who causes a loss to the
bank by permitting overdrafts; for the directors of a bank have no power
to sanction overdrafts. (Market Street Bank vs. Stumpe, 2 Mo., App., 545.)
X. PRESIDENT. A guarantee against loss for signing as sureties, given by a bank
president without authority from the directors, to those whom he had solicited thus to sign a note, given to the bank to retire a prior note held by
it against their principal, is held to be the individual contract of the president, and not binding upon the bank. (First National Bank vs. Bennett, 33
Mich., p. 520.)



94

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

OFFICERS—Continued.

XL A president of a bank bought the stock of A. for $1,000, and in payment
gave up to A. his note for that amount, which the bank held against A:
Held, that the president exceeded his powers, and that the bank could recover from A. the amount of the note thus surrendered. (RhoadsYS. Webb,
24 Minn., p. 292.)
XII. A president of a bank, who, with the cashier, had the general charge of its
business, permitted and directed the drawing of moneys from the bank by
one irresponsible, without security, and for a business in which the president was interested with the party drawing the funds. He requested the
cashier not to say anything of it to the directors: Held, that the president
was personally responsible for the moneys thus drawn. (First National Bank
of Sturgis vs. Reid, 37 Mich., p. 263.) Quere: Would not an indictment for
embezzlement lie under the national bank act?
XIII. The president of a bank, as such, has no authority to release the claims of the
bank against any one. Such authority must come from the directors, by
vote or implication. (Olnet/ vs. Chadsey, 1 R. I., p. 224.) Nor can he bind
the bank to pay or become liable for a debt by his admission. (Henry vs.
Northern Bank, 63 Ala., p. 527.)
XIV. In reference to what do not constitute offenses under section 5209 of the
Revised Statutes (see case of United States vs. Jas. H. Britton, <fc, U. 8.
Sup. Court, October term, I8rt2).
XV. A draft indorsed by the president of the Miners' National Bank of Georgetown, Colo., payable to White or order for account of the bank: Held,
that the bank could not be held on the draft, but that White was entitled
to recover the money advanced for the use of the bank, as appeared by the
books of the latter, whether it was advanced without consideration or
upon the draft as collateral. ( White vs. National Bank, 102 U. S., p. 658.)
XVI.

AUTHORITY OF BANK CASHIER.

A banking corporation, whose charter does not otherwise provide, may
be represented by its cashier in transactions outside of his ordinary duties
without his authority to do so being in writing or appearing in the records
of the proceedings of the directors.
His authority may be by parol, and collected from circumstances, or implied from the conduct or acquiescence of the directors.
It may be inferred, from the general manner in which, for a period sufficiently long to establish a settled course of business, he has been suffered
by the directors, without interference or inquiry, to conduct the affairs of
the bank.
When, during a series of years, or in numerous business transactions, he
has been permitted, in his official capacity, and without objection, to pursue a particular course of conduct, it may be presumed, as between the
bank and those who in good faith deal with it upon the basis of his authority to represent the corporation, that he has acted in conformity with instructions received from those who have the right to control its operations.
That which directors ought, by proper diligence, to have known, as to
the general course of the bank's business, they may be presumed to have
known in any contest between the corporation and those who are justified
by the circumstances in dealing with it upon the basis of that course of
business. (Supreme Court of the United States, October term, 1883, Martin vs.
Webb.)
XVII. LIABILITY OF CASHIFJ'R.

1. Where directors of a corporation appoint one of their number to act as
treasurer, secretary, or other ministerial officer of the corporation, he is
prima facie entitled to reasonable compensation for his services as such
officer.
2. Where he assumes the duties of such ministerial officer upon an express
contract as to compensation, such contract controls, and this, though the
contract is to discharge the duties without any direct compensation in
money.
3. An agent of a corporation, who, as an individual, purchases the properties of the corporation from himself as agent, cannot uphold such purchase by proof that he agreed to pay what he thought the property was
worth, but is liable to the corporation for the actual value of the property
so by him purchased.
4. Ratification implies knowledge, and a party cannot be adjudged to
have ratified an act of which he has no knowledge, actual or constructive.




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF^ THE CURRENCY.

95

OFFICERS—Continued.
XVII. LIABILITY OF CASHIER—Continued.

5. The doctrine that the directors of a bank are conclusively presumed to
know the financial condition of the bank, its general business, and its receipts and expenditures as shown by its regular books, is for the protection
of third parties dealing with the bank, andfof the bank against prejudicial
action of any director, and cannot be invoked to uphold a wrongful appropriation of moneys by the cashier or other officer, which appropriation is
made and also entered upon the books of the bank without the actual knowledge of the directors. {Supreme Court of Kansas ; The First National Bank of
Fort Scott vs. Drake.)
6. It is no defense to an action brought by a bank against its late cashier
for a wrongful appropriation of moneys, that at the time of such appropriation he was the owner of four-fifths of the stock of the bank, and has since
that time sold all of said stock to other parties, who are now the officers
and managing authority of the bank.
XVIII. A., the president of defendant, a national bank in Vermont, applied to the
plaintiff, a banking corporation in Canada, for a loan for his railroad of
§50,000 which he had been unable to obtain from defendant. Plaintiff's
manager told him the money could not be loaned as an individual loan,
as its individual loans were too near the limit allowed by law, but that it
would deposit that amount with defendant if desired.
A. assented, and they agreed the deposit should draw interest at 6 per
cent, while it remained, and that bonds should be deposited as security.
Plaintiff drew two drafts for the amount on a Boston bank, delivered them
to defendant and received the collaterals, and entered the transaction on
its books as a loan to defendant. Defendant indorsed the drafts, forwarded
them to the Boston bank, from which it received credit for them, and has
always retained their avails. About a year afterwards defendant failed,
and a receiver was appointed who rejected the claim of plaintiff when
presented for payment, and defendant brought suit. Held, that the transaction was not a loan to A. individually, but to defendant; that plaintiff
was entitled to a judgment, to be paid by the Comptroller from the assets
ratably with other claims; and that the amount due should be adjusted
as of the time when the receiver was appointed, and so certified by the
receiver to the Comptroller, to be paid in due course of administration.
(Eastern Township Bank vs. Vermont Nat. Bank of St. Albans and Another,
Federal Reporter, Vol. 22, p. 186.)
POST-NOTES.

I. Certificates of deposit, payable at a fixed future day, held to be equivalent to
post-notes, and therefore void, as prohibited by a State law.
(See, ante, Title " DEPOSITS, CERTIFICATES OF," IV, and cases there cited.)
POWER OF ATTORNEY TO COLLECT PAYMENT OF GOVERNMENT BOND.

A power of attorney authorizing an agent to "sell and assign " a Government bond " called" for payment gives authority to the agent to assign to
the Secretary of the Treasury for redemption, and to receive in payment a
draft drawn by the Treasurer of the United States to the agent by name,
who can indorse it for collection or payment. (Decision by United States
Comptroller Lawrence.)
RECEIVERS.

I. The receiver of a national bank is the instrument of the Comptroller, and
may be removed by him. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall, p. 505.)
II. Such receiver is the statutory assignee of the assets of the bank, and may sue
to collect the same in his own name, or in the name of the bank for his use.
(Ibid., p. 506.)
III. In such suit it is not necessary to make the bank or creditors parties. (Ibid.,
p. 506.)
IV. The receiver of a national bank represents such bank and its creditors, but
he in no sense represents the United States Government, and cannot subject
the Government to the jurisdiction of any court. (Case vs. Terrill, 11 Wall.,
p 199.)
p.
The
he decision of a receiver, rejecting a claim against his bank, is not final.
Claimant may still sue. (Batik of Bethel vs. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., p.
383.)
VI. The clause of seetion 50, act of 1864, which prescribes that the receiver shall
be " under the direction of the Comptroller/' means only that he shall be
subject to his direction, not that he shall not act without orders. He may
and must collect the assets. That is what he is appointed for. (Bradley, J.
 in Bank vs. Kennedy, 17 Wall., pp. 22-3.)


96

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

RECEIVERS—Continued.

VII. Receivers of national banks are officers of the United States, within the mean/ ing of the act of Congress of March 3, 1815, giving United States courts
j urisdiction of actions by United States officers, and may sue in such courts.
(Platt, receiver, tyc, vs. Beach, 2 Ben., p. 303.)
[NOTE.—The judge places stress upon the provision of section 31 of the
act of 1864, which requires (in that particular instance) that the Secretary
of the Treasury shall concur in the appointment of the receiver.]
VIII. Receiver not liable to be sued on a claim against the bank.
(See Title " JURISDICTION," V, ante.)
IX. The personal assets and personal property of an insolvent national bank in
the hands of a receiver appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency, in
accordance with the provision of section 5234 of the Revised Statutes, in
legal contemplation still belong to the bank, though in the hands of the
receiver to be administered under the law. The bank does not cease to
exist on appointment of the receiver. Its corporate capacity continues
until its affairs are finally wound up and its assets distributed. (Rosenblatt
vs. Johnston, Chief Justice Waite, United States Supreme Court, October term,
1881.)
X. A new receiver may be substituted as plaintiff and appellant in suits begun
by his predecessor. (Orson Adams, substituted for George E. Bowden, receiver',
vs. Jacob C. Johnson and Betsey Valentine, United States Supreme Court, October term, 1882.) This case was appealed from the United States circuit
court of New Jersey. When the bill was dismissed in the lower court, a
new receiver had been appointed. The appeal was taken in the name of
the old receiver, the new receiver becoming surety on the appeal bond.
In the Supreme Court a motion on the part of the appellees to dismiss the
appeal on the ground that DO appeal was lawfully taken was denied, and
a motion on the part of appellant to substitute new receiver as plaintiff
and appellant was granted.
XL Under section 1001 of the Revised Statutes no bond for the prosecution of the
suit, or to answer in damages and costs, is required on writs of error or
appeals issuing from or brought to this court by direction of the Comptroller of the Currency in suits by or against insolvent national banks, or
the receivers thereof. (Pacfiic National Bank vs. George Mixter, United States
Supreme Court, October term, 1884.)
SET-OFF.

I. In an action brought to enfore the individual liabilitiy of a shareholder of
an insolvent bank, such shareholder cannot set off against such liability
the amount due to him as a creditor of the bank. (Garrison vs. Howe, 17
N. Y.,p. 458 : In re Empire City Bank, 18 N. Y., p. 199.)
[NOTE.—Though these cases were decided by a State tribunal (New York
court of appeals), and the rulings were based upon provisions of a State constitution and a State statute, yet the principle they enunciate is recognized
and fully affirmed in Sawyer vs. Hoag, 17 Wall., p. 610, and Scammon vs.
Kirnball,2Otto,2>.*342. See, also, Venango National Bank vs. Taylor, 56 Pa.,
i?.14.j
II. A creditor of an insolvent national bank, being such at date of its suspension,
may set off the amount of his claim against any claim held by the bank
against him at the same date ; as, for example, his note, even though such
note had not then matured. (Berry vs. Brett, 6 Bos. IN. F.], p. 627; New
Amsterdam Savings Bank vs. Gartter,b± How. [P. 22.],j?. 385; Platt, receiver,
vs. Bentley, 11 Am. Law Register,p. 171; Hade, receiver, vs. McVay, 31 O. St.,
p. 231; same case, Brown's National Bankrupt Cases, p. 353; and see the cases
cited on p. 357, viz, 56 Maine, 167 ; 1 Paige [N. F.], p. 444 ; 12 Gray IMass.],
2>.233.) .
III. Usurious interest paid cannot be set off. (Hade vs. McVay, 31 0. St., p. 231;
Barnet YS. National Bank, 98 U. £.,#.555.)
IV. The United States cannot set off an indebtedness to itself from a national bank
against the surplus proceeds of bonds deposited by said bank as security
for its circulation. (Cook Co. National Bank, and Aug. H. Burley, receiver of
said bank, appellants, vs. United States. U. S. Supreme Court, October term,
1882.)
[NOTE.—This was on the grounds that the bonds are a trust, and a trustee
cannot set off against the funds held by him in that character, his individual demand against the grantor of the trust.]

SHAREHOLDERS.

I. GENERAL RULES.—A person is presumed to be the owner of stock when his
name appears on the books of a company as a stockholder; and when he is
sued as such the burden of disproving such presumption is cast upon him.
(Turnbull vs. Payson, 95 U. S. [5 Otto], p. 418.)
II. Shareholders have no standing in court to interfere for the protection of their
company until the board of directors has neglected, or refused on application, to take the proper steps to protect the interests of the company.
(Fifth National Bank, <fc. vs. Railroad Co., 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 190.)
III. Shares of stock in a national bank are salable and transferable like other
personal property; and the statute recognizes this transferability by authorizing each association to prescribe the manner of their transfer. (Johnston vs. Lafflin, 103 TJ. S., per Field, J., on p. 803.)
IV. This power can only go to the extent of prescribing conditions essential to the
protection of the association against fraudulent transfers, or such as are
designed to evade just responsibility. It must be exercised reasonably.
Transfer cannot be clogged with useless restrictions, nor be made dependent on the consent of directors or stockholders. (Ibid.)
V. As between the parties to a sale, it is enough that the certificate of stock is
delivered, with authority to the purchaser, or any one he may name, to
transfer it on the books of the association, and payment of the price. (Ibid..
jp. 804.)
VI. The entry of the transaction on the books of the association is required, not
for the translation of title, but for the protection of parties and others
dealing with the bank, to enable the bank to know who are its stockholders,
entitled to vote and receive dividends. It is necessary to protect the seller
against subsequent liability as stockholder, and perhaps also to protect the
purchaser against proceedings by creditors of the seller. (Ibid., Field, J.f
p. 804.)
VII. When a national bank reduces its capital, each shareholder is entitled to a
return of his proportional amount, and the bank cannot retain the funds
as surplus, or for any other purpose; and having refused to permit shares
thus retired to be transferred on its books, the bank is liable for the value
of the shares to the holders. (Seeley vs. New York National Exchange Bank,
4 Abb. New Cases, p. 61.)
VIII. INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY OF.—The Comptroller must decide when and for what
amount the personal liability of the shareholders of an insolvent national
bank shall be enforced. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall., p. 505.)
IX. His decision as to this is conclusive. Shareholders cannot controvert it.
(Ibid., p. 505; Casey vs. Galli, 94 U. S. [4 Otto], p. 673; Germunia National
Bank et al. vs. Case, receiver, TJ. S. Supreme Court, 99 Otto, p. 628.)
[NOTE.—These cases are decisive against the ruling in Bowden vs. Morris,
1 Hugh., p. 378.]
X. In any suit brought to enforce such personal liability, such decision of the
Comptroller must be averred by the plaintiff, and, if put in issue, must be
proved. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, supra.)
XL The liability of shareholders is several and not joint. (Ibid., p. 505.)
XII. The limit of such liabilities is the par value of the stock held by each one,
(Ibid., p. 505.)
XIII. Where the whole amount is sought to be recovered, the proceeding must be
at law; where less is required, the proceeding maybe in equity, and in
such case an interlocutory decree may be taken for contribution, and the
case may stand over for the further action of the court, if such action
should subsequently prove to be necessary, until the full amount of the
liability is exhausted. (Ibid., p. 505.)
XIV. In such equity suit, all shareholders within the j urisdiction of the court should
be made parties defendant; but it is no defense that those not within the
jurisdiction are not joined. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, supra.)
XV. Suits to enforce personal liability of shareholders may properly be brought
before other assets are exhausted. (Ibid., pp. 505-6.)
XVI. One Stevens bought shares in a national bank, and caused them to be transferred to one Elston, a porter in the office of his New York broker, and irresponsible. At the time of the transfer there was no suspicion of the insolvency of the bank, and it remained in good credit for more than a year
afterward: Held, that Stevens was liable as stockholder upon the failure
of the bank. (Davis, receiver, vs. Stevens, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 158, TJ. S. Circuit
Court Southern District N. Y., per Waite, C. J.)
XVII. Where, before the failure of a bank, stock was transferred on its books to
the name of an irresponsible person, for the purpose of escaping liability,

SHAREHOLDERS—Continued.

and so stood at tbe time of the appointment of a receiver: Held, that the
receiver could show who the real owner was, and that the latter was liable
for the assessment. (Ibid.)
XVIII. RATABLE LIABILITY OF.—Mr. Morse, in his Treatise on Banks, & c , second

edition, p. 50/5, states the law in substance as follows: "The liability of
each stockholder is precisely for his ratable proportion of that indebtedness
of the bank which is to be borne by the shareholders. It is for his share
of such total indebtedness, not for his proportion of each item thereof.
Neither are the solvent shareholders, or those who can be come at for collection, liable to assessment beyond the proportional amount as above
stated, by reason of the insolvency or inaccessibility of others of the shareholders. Those who are solvent and accessible have not the burden of
paying off the sum which is due from all together; only their own proportionate share." This theory was fully sustained by the United States Supreme Court in the case of United States vs. Knox, 102 U. S.,p.A22. See
also the cases there cited. When the holder of shares of national-bank
stock has information causing apprehension of its failure, and colludes with
and transfers his shares to an irresponsible transferee to avoid liability,
the transaction will be deemed to be a fraud on the creditors of the bank,
and the transferor will be held to his liability. The transfer is good as
between the parties, however, and only voidable by election of plaintiff.
This case isone of equitable cognizance, and either party may be held liable.
(Orson Adams, substituted for George E. Bowden, receiver, vs. Jacob C. Johnson
and Betsey Valentine, U. S. Sup. Court, October term, 1882.)
XIX. LIABILITY OF EXECUTOH, ADMINISTRATOR, AND HEIRS OF.—Where stock-

holder died, before failure of bank, stock not having been transferred to
name of administrator: Held, that the stock is not to be regarded as having been at the time of the failure the property of the administrator, in
such a sense as to constitute him a shareholder within the meaning of sec.
5152, U. S. Rev. Stat., so as to limit liability of the estate to funds actually
in the hands of administrator: Held, also, that the provision of the act exempting executors, administrators, and trustee from personal liability
was not intended to affect the liability to assessments of estates in process
of settlement, but only to prevent a personal liability from running against
persons acting in a trust capacity, who had received the stock for the
benefit of trust estates. (Davis vs. Weed, 44 Conn., p. 569.)
XX. The liability of a stockholder is in the nature of a contract, and as such was
a personal liability, for which his estate was holden at his death. (Davis
vs. Weed, supra, citing Hawthorne vs. Calef, 2 Wall., p. 22; Lowry vs. Jamen,
46 N. Y., p. 119; Bailey vs. Hollisttr, 26 N. Y., p. 112.)
XXI. LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE OF.—To protect trustee of stock from personal lia-

bility it must appear upon the books that he held as sueh trustee. (Davis
vs. Essex Baptist Society, 44 Conn., p. 582.)
Creditors have a right to know who have pledged their personal liability.
(Ibid.)
If a trustee wishes to disclose his trusteeship, there is no difficulty in giving
notice upon the books of the bank. If he does not do so, he is guilty of
laches, for which others should not suffer. (Ibid.)
The settlement of the affairs of an insolvent bank would be rendered a matter of great labor, expense, and delay if persons who appeared upon the
books of the bank as individual stockholders were permitted to relieve
themselves by proof aliunde that they held the stock as executors, guardians, or trustees. (Ibid.)
[NOTE.—The last-cited case, and Davis vs. Weed, supra, although reported in the Connecticut Reports, were decided by the United States
District Court.]
LIABILITY OF TRANSFEREE OF.—The transferee of shares, when such transfer
is absolute on the books of the bank, is liable to creditors to the amount of
such shares, although in fact he holds them as collateral security for a
loan to the shareholder who transferred them. (Hale vs. Walker, 3L Iowa,
p. 614; Adderly vs. Storm, 6 Hill, p. 624; Van Biker's case, 20 Wend., p. 614;
Bowden, receiver, vs. Santos et ah, 1 Hugh., p. 158; Marcy vs. Clark, 17 Mass.,
p. 330.)
[NOTE.—In the Banker's Magazine for January, 1875, is a notice of the case
of Mann, receiver, vs. Dr. Cheeseman, decided by Blatchford, J., in the United.
States Circuit Court in New York, in which the judge held that until there
was a transfer of shares on the books of the bank, the shareholder whose name
there appeared was liable for the debts of the bank j that an actual sale and

the signing of the ordinary power of attorney on the back of the certificate
will not relieve the seller To the foregoing rulings of State and other
subordinate tribunals may now be added the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in Germania Bank et al. vs. Case, receiver, already cited.
The Germania National Bank of New Orleans discounted a note for the
firm of Phelps, McCullongh & Co. for $14,000, at ninety days, taking as
part security therefor the pledge of 100 shares of the Crescent City National
Bank stock, with power of attorney to the Germania cashier to transfer,
sell, & c , on default in payment) of the note. Phelps, McCullough & Co.
failed, and the note was protested at maturity. Prior to the maturity of
the note, the Crescent City Bank sustained such heavy losses that it was
notoriously in bad repute in New Orleans; and yet, when the note fell due
the cashier of the Uermania immediately transferred to his own bank, upon
the books of the Crescent City Bank, the 100 shares so pledged. Afterwards,
on the same day, he transferred 76 of these shares to one Waldo, a clerk of
the Germania Bank; and on the day following transferred the remainder to
said Waldo. It was proved that Waldo paid IK thing, was the mere agent
of the Germania Bank, which still owned the 100 shares as security for the
payment of said note, and that one of the principal reasons for the transfers to Waldo was the possible liability of the shareholders of the Crescent
City Bank for its debts in case of insolvency. Soon after, the Crescent City
Bank failed. Held, per Strong, J., that the transfers to said Waldo were
void as against said receiver, and that although the Germania Bank only
held said shares as collateral security for the payment of said discount, it
was still liable as owner for the assessment in this case ordered by the
Comptroller. The opinion is able and fortified by numerous authorities.
In this same case, at a former term, upon a motion to dismiss the appeals
of certain of the appellants, the Supreme Court recognized the right of the
Comptroller to make an additional assessment, if deemed necessary; and
for this reason sustained the appeals, holding that the matter in dispute
was, or might be, over $5,000, although the decrees
appealed from were severally less than that amount. The assessment wras for 70 per cent.]
(See, also, Pullman vs. Upton, 96 U. 8. [6 Otto'], p. 328, as to liability of
transferee.)
XXVI. Where a shareholder of a corporation is called upon to respond to a liability
as such, he is not permitted to deny the existence of such corporation.
(B. U. Keyser, receiver, vs. Jane C. Hitz, Supreme Court, D. C, June 26, 1883.)
XXVII. Under married women's act, D. C, where during marriage a married woman
acquires bank stock otherwise than from her husband, both her title and
liability are absolute. {Ibid.) Where she acquires it from her husband,
she holds it with a qualified property in her husband. It is liable, as a
chose in action, to be reduced to his possession. (Ibid.) Where a woman,
holding savings-bank stock acquired by deed or gift from her husband,
agrees, with his consent, to convert the stock into national-bank stock, and
although still holding it subject to his marital rights, she is liable to assessment as a stockholder and must pay such assessment from her estate.
(Ibid.) If the transfer to her and the subsequent conversion were without
her knowledge, it might be otherwise.
XXVIII. The liability incurred by a holder of national-bank stock is statutory and
not by contract. Being so it attaches, as an incident of ownership, to all
who are capable of such ownership, without reference to any supposed voluntary assumption by contract, express or implied. Therefore when national-bank stock is held by a feme covert, either in her own right or subject to the marital rights of her husband, the liability to be assessed affects
her alone, and it is not necessary, in an action to enforce collection of an
assessment, to join her husband, as would be necessary if it were a common-law obligation or liability of the wife. (Ibid.)
XXIX. PLEDGE TO A NATIONAL BANK OF ITS OWN SHARES AS SECURITY.—Where a

national bank made a loan upon the pledge of its own shares and afterward
sold the shares to obtain payment of the loan which exceeded the amount
realized from the shares: Held, that the owner of the shares could not, on
the ground that the statute forbids a national bank to take its own shares,
as security, recover from the bank the amount realized upon the sale of the
shares. (Supreme Court of the United States. First National Bank vs. Stewart.)
XXX. The Pacific National Bank of Boston was organized in October, 1877, with a
capital of $250,000, with the right to increase it to $1,000,000. In November, 1879, its capital was raised to $500,000; September 13,1881, the directors voted to increase the capital to $1,000,000." On November 18,1881, the
bank suspended. On December 13,1881, the directors voted that as $38,700

of the increase of capital stock had not been paid in, the capital be fixed
at $961,300, and the Comptroller of the Currency was notified to that effect,
and he notified the bank, under Revised Statutes, section 5205, to pay a
deficiency on its capital stock by an assessment of 100 per cent. At the
annual meeting the assessment was voted, and on March 18, 1881, with
consent of the Comptroller and the approval of the directors and the examiner, the bank resumed businesa, and continued until May 20, 1881, when
it again suspended and was put in the hands of a receiver. Prior to May
20, 1882, $742,800 of the voluntary assessment had been paid in. Complainant was the owner of 25 shares of stock on September 13, 1881, and
after the vote to increase the stock, took 25 shares, for which he paid
$2,500, on October 1, 1881, and received a certificate. He voted for the
assessment at the annual meeting, and in February, 1882, paid the assessment on the old and new stock, and subsequently sought to enjoin the
suit at law against him by the receiver to enforce his individual liability
as a stockholder, under Revised Statutes, section 5151, on the ground that
the increase of capital was illegal and void, and that the voluntary assessment under Revised Statutes, section 5205, relieved the stockholders of
individual liability : Held, that he was not entitled to relief, and the bill
should be dismissed. (Morrison vs. Price. Federal Reporter, vol. 23,p. 217.)
SHAREHOLDER'S RIGHT TO SUE.

I. In an action by a shareholder of a national bank charging the directors with
misconduct, if the complainant fails to show a demand on the Comptroller
for and his refusal of a direction to the receiver to bring suit, it is bad, and
the action must fail; though it is said that if the Comptroller,in a proper
case, should thus refuse, probably the stockholders could sue, making the
bank a proper party. (Brinkerhoffvs. Bostwick, 23 Hun. [N. ¥.], 237.)
[NOTE.—In a suit at law in New Jersey, by one Ackerman, a shareholder,
against Halsey, president of the Mechanics7 National Bank, it was, by Mr. Justice Uepue, Held, 1st. That a suit under section 5239 of the national bank
act, to enforce the liability of a director for misconduct, should be brought
by the corporation, or, when in the hands of a receiver, by him. 2d. That
in the event of the improper refusal of the corporation or receiver to sue,
one or more shareholders might institute a suit; but in such instances the
suit should be for the benefit of all shareholders, making the bank or receiver a proper party, and, of course, the proceedings should be, not at
law, but in equity. ]
II. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS AGAINST BANK OFFICER FOR MISMANAGEMENT.—

An action will not lie by a stockholder in a national bank against the
president and directors for their neglect and mismanagement of the affairs
of the bank, whereby insolvency ensued and the stock became worthless.
{New Jersey Supreme Court. Conway vs. Halsey.)

SHARES OF STOCK.

I. A national bank whose certificates of stock specify that the shares are transferable on the books of the bank on surrender of the certificates, and not
otherwise, and which suffers a shareholder to transfer without such surrender, is liable to a bonajide transferee, for value of same stock, who produces
such certificate with usual power of attorney to transfer; and this is so
though no notice had been given to the bank of the transfer. (Bank vs.
Lanier, 11 Wall, p. 369.)
II. Shares are quasi negotiable. (Ibid, p. 369.)
III. Stock of an incorporated company is chose in action. (B. U. Keyser vs. Jane C.
Hitz, Sup. Court D. C, June 26, 1883.)
IV. The creditors of a shareholder in a national bank sued him in the place where
the bank was located, and attached his stock, obtained judgment, sold the
shares on execution, and on the sheriff's certificate the bank transferred the
stock to purchasers. It appears that a year previous to this action the
owner had assigned them to D, with power of attorney to make the transfer, and, January, 1869, D assigned them to S for full consideration, power
of attorney, &c. S went to bank to make the transfer. The bank refusing, he brought suit and recovered judgment. The judge held that where
there are no positive provisions of law making transfers without public
notice void as against attaching creditors, such creditors take their debtor's property subject to honest and bonajide liens and equitable transfers.
(Scott vs. Pequonnock NatH Bank, U. S. Circuit Court, S. D. N. Y.)



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

101

SHARES OF STOCK—Continued.
V. ASSIGNMENT OF BANK STOCK NOT TRANSFERRED ON BANK BOOKS.—The by-

laws of the Eliot National Bank provided that its stock should be assignable only on the books, and that when the stock was transferred the certificate should be returned and canceled, and a new one issued. The owner
of stock assigned his certificate with power of attorney to the Continental
National Bank as collateral security for a loan: Held, that this assignment
to the latter bank was valid against an attachment of the stock by the former bank in an action by it against the owner of the stock. ( United States
Circuit Court, Mass., May 21, 1881; Continental National Bank vs. Eliot National Bank.)
VI. The payee and indorser of a negotiable promissory note is liable as maker where
he knows the maker is a fictitious x>erson; and if he were to be regarded
as an indorser, he would be liable on his indorsement without demand or
notice. The sale which section 5201 Rev. Stat. requires a national bank
to make of its own stock is real and not fictitious. And where the president and cashier of a national bank, which is the owner of some of its own
stock, purchase such stock, and execute their note to the bank for the purchase money, in a suit against them on the note by the receiver of such
bank they are estopped to set up as a defense that their purchase of the
stock was unauthorized, or that their purchase was merely colorable, or to
avoid a forfeiture of the bank's charter, or for any other deceptive or illegal purpose. The sale by the president of a national bank to himself and
the cashier of the stock of the bank owned by the bank may be ratified by
the bank or its legal representative; but a sale by himself to the bank of
its own stock, where he acts in the double capacity of seller and buyer,
cannot be ratified when the purchase of the stock by the bank is not necessary to prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted. In the one case
the sale of the stock is enjoined by law, and its sale by the president may
be ratified, however irregular it may have been in the first instance; but
the purchase of its own stock by the bank is interdicted by law, and for
this act there can be no authorization in advance and no ratification afterwards. (Bundy, as Receiver, etc., vs. Jackson. Federal Reporter, vol. 24,p. 628.)
SURPLUS FUND.

I. Where the shares of a national bank are assessed for taxation at their par
value, the surplus fund of such bank, in excess of the amount required by
law to be kept on hand, is taxable. (First National Bank vs. Peterborough,
56 N. H., p. 38.) But when such shares are assessed at their market value,
and the amount of such surplus is taken into account in estimating such
market value, it is iiot taxable. (State vs. City of Newark, 10 Vroom \_N. </.],
j>.380.)
II. Neither a dividend which has been declared, nor a portion of capital of a national bank remaining after a reduction has been made, can be retained by
the directors to constitute a surplus fund. (Seeley vs. New York National
Exchange Bank, 4 Abb. [N. Y.~\,p. 61.)
^
III. The surplus fund which a national bank is required, by section 5199, U. S. Revised Statutes, to reserve from its net profits, is not excluded in the valuation of its shares for taxation. (Str afford National Bank vs. Dover, 2 Thomp.
Cases, p. 296, Sup. Court N. H., following National Bank vs. Commonwealth,
9 Wall.,p. 353; People vs. Commissioners, 94 U. S., p. 415.)
TAXATION.

I. BY LICENSE.—The District of Columbia imposed a license tax on all the national banks in the District, the rate being
50 cents annually on each $1,000
of the capital invested. The Citizens1 National Bank refused to pay this
assessment, and a test case was made in the District criminal court, Mr.
Justice MacArthur presiding. This court, after full argument, held the tax
illegal and void, as being contrary to the mode of taxation prescribed by
Congress, which mode was held to be exclusive. This ruling of Judge
MacArthur is fully sustained by the supreme court of Missouri. (Carthage
vs. Carthage National Bank, 71 Mo., 508 ; also by National Bank of Titusville
vs. Cadwell, U. S. Dist. Court, West. List. Pa., Fed. Reporter, XIII, p. 429.)
II. OF INSOLVENT BANKS.—A tax levied upon the property of a national bank,
subsequent to its insolvency, is subordinate to the rights of a receiver, even
though he be appointed after such levy. ( Woodward vs. Ellsworth, 4 Colo.,
p. 590.)
(See Title " SURPLUS*FUND," supra.)



102

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

TAXATION— Continued.
III. OF INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS.—Under the internal-revenue act of July, 1870,

interest paid and dividends declared during the last five months of 1870
are taxable, as well as those declared during the year 1871. {Blake vs.
National Banks, 23 Wall., p. 307.)
IV. OF SHARES OF STOCK.—The act of 1864, rightly construed, subjects the shares
of tbe association in the hands of shareholders to taxation by the States,
under certain limitations set forth in section 41, without regard to the fact
that part or the whole of the capital of such association is invested in national securities, which are declared by law exempt from State taxation.
( Van Allen vs. Assessors, 3 Wall., 573. Chase, C. J., and other judges dissented.)
V. Act thus construed is constitutional. (Ibid.,p. 573.)
VI. A certain statute of New York, which taxed shares of national-bank stock, was
declared void, because shares of State banks were not taxed, although their
capital was; the act of Congress prescribing that shares of national banks
shall be taxed only as shares of State banks are. (Ibid., p. 573. The ruling
as to taxing shares of stock reaffirmed in Bradley vs. People, 4 Wall., p. 459;
National Bank vs. Commonwealth, 9 Wall., p. 353.)

VII. In last case, Held, that a State law requiring the cashier to pay the tax was
valid. Meld, also, that a certain State tax law virtually taxed "shares of
moneyed corporations," <fcc. (Ibid., p. 353.)
VIII. Section 5219 of United States Revised Statutes applies to and includes as
well the valuation of shares for taxation as the rate of tax to be imposed,
and prohibits a State from discriminating, detrimentally to a national
bank, as to either valuation or rate. Therefore, a statute of the State of
New York which permitted a party, when being assessed, to deduct his
just debts from the value of all his personal property, save such as was invested in shares of national-bank stock, was held void as to taxation of
such shares. (People vs. Weaver, U. S.,p. 539, overruling the judgment of
New York court of appeals in same cause.)
IX. So in another case, where local assessors valued all other property below its
cash worth, but assessed shares of national-bank stock at par or their full
value: Held, that the tax upon shares thus assessed ^vas invalid, and that,
upon payment of the amount justly assessable, a court of equity would
enjoin collection of the residue. (Pelton vs. Commercial National Bank of
Cleveland, 101 U. S , p. 143.)

X. Where i t appeared that throughout a portion of Ohio, including Lucas County,
and perhaps all over the State, a settled rule with the equalizing officers
was to value real estate and ordinary personal property at one-third of their
worth, while moneyed capital was fixed at three-fifths, and the State board
of equalization, without changing the valuation thus made of real estate
and ordinary personalty, assessed national bank shares at par: Held, that
such unequal valuation was in violation of the constitutional rights of such
shareholders; and, on payment of the tax justly due, equity would enjoin
collection of the residue. (Cummings vs. Merchants' National Bank of Toledo,

101 U. S.,p. 153.)
XI. Shares of stock in national banks are personal property, and though in one
sense incorporeal, the law which created them could separate them from
the person of their owner for taxation, and give them a situs of their own.
(Tappan, collector, vs. Bank, 19 Wall., p. 490.)

XII. S ction 41 did thus separate them and give them a situs of their own. (Ibid.,
p. 490.)
XIII. This provision of the national currency act became a law of the property (in
shares), and every State in which a bank was located acquired jurisdiction,
for taxation, of all the shares, whether owned by residents or non-residents,
and power to legislate accordingly. (Ibid., p. 490.)
XIV. Under the act of Congress of February 10, 1868, enacting that each State legislature may direct the manner of taxing all shares of stock of national
banks located within the State, subject to the restriction that the taxation
shall not be greater than the rate assessed upon other moneyed capital in the
hands of individual citizens of such State, and of a certain act of the legislature of Pennsylvania, which provides that such shares shall be assessed
for school, municipal, and local purposes at the same rate as is now or may
hereafter be assessed and imposed upon other moneyed capital in the hands
of individual citizens of the State : Held, that shares of national-bank stock
may be valued for taxation for county, school, municipal, and local purposes at an amount above their par value.

and that it was valued for taxation, for a school tax, at $150 per share.
This assessment was held valid, notwithstanding that by a certain act of
the State legislature, applicable to the county of Cumberland, in which the
borough of Carlisle was situated, certain specitied kinds of moneyed obligations were exempt from taxation except for State purposes. ]
sho
be the
XV. The rate of taxation of shares of a national bank by a State should
same as, or not greater than, that upon the moneyed capital of the individual citizen which is liable to taxation ; that is, no greater in proportion
or percentage of tax on the valuation of shares should be levied than upon
other moneyed taxable capital in the hands of the citizen. (People vs. The
Commissioners,'(f'c, 4 Wall., p. 256.)
XVI. The act of Congress approved June 3,1864 (R. S., sec. 5219), was not intended
to curtail the power of the States on the subject of taxation, or to prohibit
the exemption of particular kinds of property, but to protect the corporations formed under its authority from unfriendly discrimination by the
States in the exercise of their taxing power. (Adams vs. Nashville, 95 U.
S. [5 Otto'], p. 19. See also, Saint Louis National Bank, National Bank of
the State of Missouri, Third National Bank, Valley National Bank, and Merchants'' National Bank of Saint Louis vs. Papin, in United States circuit court,
eastern district of Missouri, September term, 1876. Also, Gallatin National
Bank of New York vs. Commissioners of Taxes, supreme court of New York,
first department, general
term, November, 1876. These latter cases are published in the Bankers7 Magazine for December, 1876.)
XVII. OF TOWN AND CITY NOTES, ETC.—Section 3441, U. S. Revised Statutes, which
enacts that every national bank, State bank, or banker, or association shall
pay a tax of ten per centum on the amount of notes of any town, city, or
municipal corporation paid out by them, imposes the taxes thus laid not on
the notes, but on their use as a circulating medium, and is therefore constitutional. (National Bank vs. United States, 101 U. S., p. 1.)
XVIII. When by a State statute the citizen may have the amount of his indebtedness deducted from the total value of his personal property, thus ascertaining the amount of bis personal estate subject to taxation, and a subsequent
statute relating to taxation of bank shares makes no provision for such deduction, the latter statute is nevertheless the valid rule for assessing such
shares in all instances where there are no debts to be deducted. That the
latter statute does not authorize a deduction for debts does not invalidate
it, except as to that distinct and separable principle.
XIX. Under such statutes assessments of bank shares where there are no debts to
deduct are valid. Even in cases of assessments where debts exist, which
should be deducted, but are not, the assessments are avoidable only, not
void. (Supervisors of Albany vs. Stanley, U. S. Supreme Court, April, 1882.
Fed. Reporter, Vol. XII, p. 82.)
XX. Johnston vs. U. S. Court of Claims, December 1, 1881. Under section 22 of the
act of March 3, 1869, relative to abatement of taxes versus insolvent national banks, semi-annual taxes are expected to come out of profits of the
bank, and, thus reducing dividends, they are a tax on the proprietors of the
insti.ution, not on the depositors. (Court of Claims Reports, Vol. 17, 158.)
XXI. In the two following cases, one in California and one in Alabama, it was
decided in each instance that the particular form of discrimination under
the laws and regulations of the Stato was contrary to the Federal law permitting the taxation of national-bank shares by States. (Pollard vs. Zuberf
65 Ala., 635, Miller vs. Heilbrun, 58 Cal., 133.) '
XXII. The former decisions of this court do not sustain the proposition that nationalbank shares may be subjected, under the authority of the state, to local
taxation, where a very material part, relatively, of other moneyed capital
in hands of individual citizens within the same jurisdiction, or taxing
district, is exempted from such taxation. While exact uniformity or equality of taxation cannot be expected under any system, capital invested in
national-bank shares was intended by Congress to be placed upon the same
footing of substantial equality in respect of taxation by State authority as
the State establishes for other moneyed capital in the hands of individual
citizens, however invested, whether in state bank shares or otherwise.
(Boyer Y8.*Boyer, V. S. Supreme Court, Bankers' Magazine, June 1885, p. 934.)
TRANSFERS OF ASSETS.

I. A preference of one creditor to another, within the meaning of section 5242
Revised Statutes, is a preference given by the bank to secure or pay a pre
existing debt. Where a person, knowing that a national bank is embar

rassed, makes to it a loan, taking as security therefor a pledge of part of
the assets of the bank, this transfer does not give him the preference prohibited by tbe statute. (Casey vs. Le Societe de Credit Mobilier, 2 Woodst
p. 77.)
WHEN NOT BINDING.—Under said section 5242, which declares void transfer*
of its property by a national bank, made in contemplation of insolvency,
and with a view to give a preference to one creditor over another, or with
a view to prevent the application of the assets of the bank in the manner
prescribed by law, such a transfer is void if the insolvency is in the contemplation of the banl^ making the transfer, although the party to whom
it is made does not know
or contemplate the insolvency of the bank. (Case,
Receiver, vs. Citizens1 Bank, 2 Woods, p. 23.)
As to when & pledge of assets, even when intended as security for. a loan to a
national bank, will be held invalid as against general creditors, see the
cases of Casey, Receiver, vs. Le Societe de Credit Mobilier; Same vs. National
Parlc Bank; Same vs. Schuchardt, 96 U. S. [6 Otto^pp. 467, 492, 494.
After a vote of the directors to close their bank and go into liquidation, any
transfer of the assets of the bank to a creditor, whereby that creditor secures*
a preference, will be presumed to be made with a fraudulent intent. (National Security Bank vs. Price, Receiver, Federal Reporter, Vol. 22, p. 697.)
The Pacific National Bank of Boston suspended November 18, 1881, but after
examination resumed March 18, 1882, with the consent of the Comptroller
of the Currency, and continued to transact business until May 22, 1882,
when it again failed. Between March 24, 1882, and April 28, 1882, certain
creditors, whose claims had been disputed aud placed in a suspense account,,
attached the property of the bank, whereupon the bank gave bond with
the president and a director as sureties, and the attachments were dissolved.
The bank transferred to the sureties, March 22, 1882, a certificate of deposit
for |100,000 on another bank, which, on April 13, 1882, was exchanged for
other property. Held, that such transfer was not made after the commission
of an act of insolvency by the bank, or in contemplation thereof, and with
a view to a preference or to prevent the application of the assets as prescribed by the banking act. (Price, Receiver, vs. Coleman and others, Federal
Reporter, Vol. 22, p. 694.)
A bank is in contemplation of insolvency when the fact becomes reasonably
apparent to its officers that the concern will presently be uuable to meet
its obligations, and will be obliged to suspend its ordinary operations. The
intent to give a preference is presumed when a payment is made to a creditor by a bank whose officers know of its insolvency, and therefore that it
cannot pay all of its creditors in full. Where property is transferred by a
bank to a creditor to avoid paying him the amount due him, and thus postpone the failure of the bank, it is none the less fraudulent and void. On
rehearing, former opiuion (23 Fed. Rep. 311) is overruled, and transfer held
fraudulent and set aside. (Roberts, Receiver, etc., vs. Hill, AdmW, etc., Federal Reporter, Vol. 24, p. 571.)

TRUSTEES, ETC.

I. A trustee transferred sureties to the Merchants' Bank of Boston as collateral
for money advanced and lost in speculation. The Massachusetts supreme
court compelled the bank to restore the collateral, some $40,000, to the
plaintiff, a lady, on the ground that the stocks and bonds were transferred
under such circumstances as to put the bank on inquiry.
ULTRA VIRES.

I. WHAT IS.—National banks cannot sell railroad bonds for third parties on commission, or engage in business of that character. (Susan Weckler vs. First .
National Bank of Hagerstown, Court of Appeals of Maryland, 42 Md., p. 581.)
II. In an action of deceit against a national bank, for alleged false representations of its teller in the sale to plaintiff of certain railroad bonds: Held,
that the selling of such bonds on commiHsion was not within the authorized
business of a national bank, and being thus beyond the scope of its corporate powers, the defense of ultra vires was open to it, and it was not responsible for the deceit of its teller. (Ibid.)
III. A national bank has no inherent power to act as age*nt in the purchase of
bonds or stocks for third persons, and its president cannot bind it by an
agreement so to act without special authority. (First National Bank of
Allentown vs. Hoch, 89, Penn., p. 324.)
Quere: If the bank has no such inherent power, how can it confer u special authority" on the president?
[NOTE.—Whether the purchase of promissory notes by a bank empowered
to discount them is ultra vires, is a question upon which the adjudication*

are in conflict. That such purchase is valid, see Pape vs. Capital Bank of
Topeka, 20 Kans., p. 440; Smith vs. Exchange Bank, 26 0., p. 141, $c. Per
contra, see Farmers and Mechanics' Bank vs. Baldwin, 23 Minn., p. 198; First
National Bank of Rochester vs. Pierson, 1 Thomp. Cases, p. 673. There is
much in the point that if a national bank can purchase promissory notes, it
can do so for such price as the seller may be willing to take; and thus the
prohibitions as to usury may be practically nullified. But further, why
should not the rule a expressio unius est exclusio alterius" control? In National Bank vs. Johnson, 104 U. S. 271, the United States Supreme Court
held that a national bank may purchase business paper (promissory notes)
when the transaction amounts in law to a discount, but expressly leaves undecided the question whether such bank can buy such paper "indorsed
without recourse," or transferred by delivery only. (See the closing paragraph of opinion.)]
WHAT IS NOT.—A national bank took a lien upon real estate to secure a preexisting debt. Afterward the bank paid $500 to discharge a prior lien upon
the land, taking a note and mortgage on laud in Kansas to secure this advance. Lien and mortgage held valid and warranted bylaw. (Ornn vs.
Merchants1 National Bank, 16 Kans.,p. 341.)
A chattel mortgage taken by a national bank to secure a pre-existing debt is
valid, and will be enforced. (Spofford vs. First National Bank, 37 Iowa, p.
181.)
A bank organized under the national bank act has power to sell any immovable it may own, and may reserve a mortgage and vendor's privilege
(lien) thereon. (New Orleans National Bank vs. Raymond, 29 La. Annual, p.
355.)
It would seem that where a national bank had realized the consideration
agreed upon for its guarantee of the paper of another, the doctrine of
estoppel in pais precludes such bank from asserting that such guarantee isultra vires. (People's Bank vs. National Bank, 101 U. S., p. 181.)
A national bank has corporate power to enter into an agreement with a customer to exchange for him non-registered for registered United States,
bonds; and it is bound by an agreement to that effect, made for a sufficient
consideration by its cashier. (Yerkes vs. National Bank, 69 N. Y., p. 382.)
(See, also, Title "DEPOSITS, SPECIAL," ante.)
A township in Vermont issued its bonds with interest coupons attached.
Each coupon contained an express promise to pay, &c. A national bank
bought of these bonds, and sued the township in assumpsit, on unpaid coupons : Held, that the action was in due form, and that a national bank could
legally buy, hold, and sue upon such bonds and upon the coupons. (North
Bennington Bank vs. Bennington,16 Blatchf.,p,h3.)

USURY.

I. State laws relative
to usury do not apply to national banks. (Farmers and
Mechanics7 National Bank vs. Dearing, 1 Otto, p. 29.)
II. The only forfeiture declared by the 30th section of the act of June 3, 1864
(Revised Statutes, section 5198) is of the entire interest which the note or
bill carries with it, or which has been agreed to be paid thereon, when the
rate knowingly reserved or charged by a national bank is in excess of that
allowed by that section ; and no loss of the entire debt is incurred by such
bank as a penalty or otherwise, by reason
of the provision of the usury law
of a State. (Farmers and Mechanics7 National Bank vs. Bearing, above cited;
National Exchange Bank vs. Moore. 2 Bond, p. 170; Barnett vs. National Bank,
98 U. S. [8 Otto}, p. 555.)
III. If usurious interest has been paid to a national bank, twice the amount of
interest thus paid may be recovered from such bank by the person paying
the same, or his legal representative; but as this provision of the statute is
penal and the same statute prescribes how such recovery may be had, no
other remedy can be resorted to. It must be recovered, if at all, iu a suit
in the nature of an action of debt. That the borrower from a national
bank has paid usurious interest can avail him nothing, as a defense, or by
way of a set-off, when sued for the amount of the loan by the bauk. (Barnett vs. National Bank, above cited.)
(See Title "INTEREST," ante.)
IV. While the national bank act prescribes penalties for usury, it does not make
the contract (e.g. contract of indorser) void; and for the court so to decide
would be to add a penalty not imposed by the statute. This the court will
not do. (Oates vs. First National Bank of Montgomery, 100 U. S., p. 239.)



106

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

USURY—Continued.
V. The assignee in bankruptcy of a borrower from a national bank may sue for
and recover the penalty for having received usurious interest. ( Wright vs.
First National Bank of Greensburg, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 138, U. S. Cir. Court,
Indiana.)
VI. The exacting of usurious interest by a national bank, upon the diseount of a
note, works a forfeiture of interest accruing after, as well as before, the
maturity of the note. (National Bank of Uniontown vs. Stauffer, 2 Thomp.
Cases, p. 178, U. S. Cir. Court, Western District Penn.)
VII. There are no State banks of issue in this State entitled to receive more than
six per cent, interest, consequently national banks cannot contract for or
receive a higher rate than six per cent. Where money is recoverable under
a statute that makes no provision for interest none can be recovered.
(Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Columbia National Bank vs. Bletz.)
A person who procures the discount by a national bank of promissory notes
of others, held by him, he indorsing the same, at an unlawful rate of interest, may maintain an action to recover back from the bank twice the amount
of such interest, under the provisions of the United States Revised Statutes,
section 5198, giving the right to such an action, and this, notwithstanding
the transaction, would not, under the law of the State where the bank is
located, be usurious if between private persons. (United States Supreme
Court, December 12, 1881. National Bank of Gloversville vs. Johnson.)
VIII. Th« provision of the national banking act against usury will be enforced
in favor of the original borrower, or any one who, for a good cause, represents his interest. The bank will be allowed to set off the penalty by expenses of exchange, and by any just debt against the original borrower.
State laws not applicable. (Barrett vs. Shtlbyville National Bank, Banker's
Magazine, Vol. 40, p. 212.)
IX. The Federal statute provides the only remedy, and that by way of penalty,
against a national bank for the taking of usury; thus the plaintiff had
brought a suit in the United States court to recover the penalty prescribed
by the said statute, and had obtained a judgment. Held, that he could
not thereafter maintain an action of assumpsit in a State court to recover
the excess above the legal interest paid to the bank. (Phillips Hill vs. National Bank of Barre; Vermont Supreme Court, Banker's Magazine, April, 1885,
p. 775.)
VlSITORIAL POWERS.

I, Section 5241 U. S. Rev. Stats, prohibits a State court from compelling officers
of a national bank to produce the bank books for the purpose of ascertaining facts upon which to impose a State tax upon the deposits of depositors.
(National Bank of Youngstoivn vs. Hughes, Auditor, $"c, 2 Thomp. Cases, p.
176, U. S. Cir. Court, N. Dist. Ohio.)
