REPORT
OF

THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY,
OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
Washington, D. (7., December 5, 1892.

SIR: I have the honor to submit for the consideration of Congress?
in compliance with the provisions of section 333 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States, the thirtieth annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The year covered by this report ended October 31,1892. The crop
of 1891 was phenomenal in all the great staples produced by this country, and at the same time a partial failure of the cereal crop in Europe
created an unusual demand for our food products. The total value of
our merchandise exports for the fiscal year ended July 1, 1892, exceeded one billion dollars—$1,030,335,000.

I 72,703,000 i

The remarkable feature is that we were compelled to add to an export
merchandise balance of $242,000,000 over $86,000,000 in gold and
silver.
Europe's short crop followed a serious financial crisis, which unsettled values, disturbed confidence, and entailed heavy losses. Instead
of paying for our cereals from their surplus, they were obliged to draw
upon their principal.
In a normal condition of affairs this large merchandise balance in our
favor would have resulted in large gold imports; instead, they sent us
our securities.
The interest upon American securities held abroad aggregates a large
amount, and its payment forms a continuous factor in international
balances. The return of any portion of our securities increases our
wealth at home, and the reieptjpn $f the earnings of guofa securities
3

adds to our home prosperity. The absorption and assimilation of so
large an amount in so short a period of time may have produced temporary disturbance, but the permanent effect is beneficial.
The financial needs of Bussia, and the accumulations of gold by
Austria-Hungary, with a view to the resumption of specie payments
upon a gold basis, caused a premium to be paid for gold exports, and
was an important cause of its outflow.
Distrust of our monetary legislation, and the fear on the part of
Europe that we were drifting towards a silver basis, also had an important influence upon gold exports.
The national banks held on September 30, 1892, nearly $22,000,000
more gold than on September 25, 1891. This, coupled with the known
fact that many State banks and trust companies have also fortified
themselves with a gold reserve during the year, shows that the fear
that we were drifting towards a silver basis was not confined to
foreigners.
All periods of monetary stringency, which necessarily restrain and
curtail business ventures, are followed by a plethora of money.
On June 18, 1892, the total deposits in the associated banks of the
city of New York were $543,663,100. The highest amount ever reached
before was $455,306,300 on December 26,1891. The same plethora of
money existed in all money centers 5 the rate of interest for the year
averaged, on demand loans, 1 £ per cent to 3 per cent, and time loans
and commercial paper ranged about 2 per cent higher.
The cholera at home and abroad, with attendant quarantine restrictions, has held trade in fetters, and, to some extent, impaired the business of the year. The vigorous measures adopted by our authorities
reduced it to control and kept its baleful influence at a'ininimuin.
With conditions in the United States favorable for a year of unusual,
prosperity, speculation has been held in check and business kept
within conservative? limits. The lessons taught by the monetary
stringency of 1890- 91, which fell so heavily upon all whose business
was too much extended, have not yet been forgotten. Ahardening process has obtained, and yet the record of the year covered by the report characterizes it as one of growth and prosperity.

CURRENCY.

The business of banking is exchanging a generally known value or
credit for a local value or credit. This definition applies equally to
the money changers of the temple and to the banks of to-day. In the
wonderful development of commerce and manufactures which has followed increased facilities for communication and transportation, banking, though hand in hand with trade, is ever in the lead; for credit, or
money, is the motor which moves the wheels of progress, and all
financial transactions, whether local, national, or international, have
become mainly a matter of bookkeeping. Throughout the United
States every locality has its bank, and most people, however limited
their business transactions, have bank accounts, through which they
pay their indebtedness. Bank accounts are generally used as the most
convenient and most accurate method of keeping a cash account. This
practice does not obtain in European countries in any such proportion.
In this country, in the village having a single bank, the artisan pays
the merchant by check, or vice versa, and the payment is usually
consummated by a transfer of credit upon the books of the bank. Thus
does the single bank become a clearing house for the community, and
the actual transfer of money is minimized.
The day's exchanges in our larger cities are adjusted through a
clearing house, where each bank is credited with the total demands it
holds against all other banks, in the same place, and is debited with
the total demands which the other banks hold against it, and either
pay§ or receives the balance, simply,, in money. The aggregate clearing-house transactions for the year ended October 31, 1892, in 57 clearing-house cities, were $61,017,839,067, the balances were (partly estimated) $4,881,777,289. Thus, by a simple device of bookkeeping, this
immense volume of business was done by means of 8 per cent of actual
money.
Our international banking and commercial transactions are settled
upon a system of balances through a few leading banks and banking
houses that deal in foreign exchange. When the exchange market
affords no bill of exchange to be remitted, gold is shipped to settle the



6

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

balance of trade existing against such nation, and when so shipped,
whether bars or coin, it goes simply as commodity, at its market value,
precisely like merchandise.
Thus it appears that the bulk of the world's business transactions is
done upon credit, witnessed by bookkeeping, and the percentage represented by actual money transfer is very small, in the United States
less than 8 per cent.
A man goes to his bank with his note, a local credit, and procures its
discount, receiving the proceeds in a generally known credit or value,
namely, a bank draft, or certificate of deposit, or money—something
available for the contemplated business. The bulk of all business transactions is adjusted by the contracting parties, whether banking or otherwise. It is the portion in which money passes that appeals to the Government for regulation. It is the recognized constitutional duty of
government to furnish for its citizens a circulating medium adequate
to their needs and convenient for their use. Gold and silver are the
recognized money of the world, because they possess value in themselves, are conveniently coined, not easily counterfeited, exist in quantity sufficient to supply the demand, and are not so redundant as to
unduly impair their value. Such money is adequate to the public want,
but not convenient for public use, except in small change transactions.
Paper money is a business necessity. Paper money possesses no value,
simply represents value.
A currency to serve the demands of business must be sound—no
doubt of its redemption. It should be elastic, that it may expand and
contract, as the tide of business ebbs and flows. If supplied by the
Government, the expense is borne by the taxpayers. If supplied by
banks, it must possess an element of profit. It will readily issue so
long as there is a profit. It may be made to contract by fixing a standard of issue and taxing the excess, so that the excessive issue would
be retired with the cessation of the necessity which called it into existence.
The amount of paper money in circulation October 31, 1892,was:
National-banknotes
United States notes (greenbacks)
Treasury notes
Gold certificates
Silver certificates
Currency certificates
Per cent of national-bank notes, 16.04.

The Government can not issue money gratuitously. It can only put
it in circulation in exchange for some value or obligation. It can not
pay its bonds in anything other than coin of standard value.
By the terms of the act of February 28, 1878, the Secretary of the
Treasury was directed to purchase and coin into silver dollars silver
bullion not less in value than $2,000,000 worth and not more than
§4,000,000 worth monthly. This act was supplanted by the act of July
14, 1890. While in force the Government purchased silver and coined
378,166,793 standard dollars, the seigniorage on which (that is, the
difference between the price paid for the silver and the face value of
the coinage) was $69,967,531.

This coinage accumulated in the Treasury vaults until the happy
device was conceived of putting it in circulation by the use of paper
substitute. As shown above, $324,552,532 are serving the people by
proxy.
Under the act of July 14, 1890, the Government purchases monthly
4,500,000 ounces of silver, and pays for the same in Treasury notes
issued for that purpose and equal at par to the cost of such silver.
Thus the currency of the country is arbitrarily increased monthly.
Up to November 1, 1892, the total issue of such notes has been
$116,611,233. The present market value of the silver purchased is
$102,648,944, showing a depreciation in value of $14,134,646. This act
was a compromise measure, designed to prevent the unlimited coinage
of a dollar of full debt-paying power containing less than a dollar's
worth of silver. From its nature (arbitrarily adding a large amount
to the currency monthly) it is evident that it was intended to be temporary. The severest commentary upon our silver coinage is the fact
that it offers an inducement to the counterfeiter to coin a dollar exactly
reproducing the genuine in quality and intrinsic worth, as well as form
and design, the profit to the counterfeiter being represented by the
difference between the market value of the silver contained in the coin
and its face value, which was October 31, 1892, 33J cents.
In view of the above statistics, the silver currency furnished by the
Government will hardly commend itself to the public on the score of
economy. It is in sharp contrast with the national-bank currency,
which has paid into the Treasury in taxes $72,670,412.30.
What the settled policy of Congress as to the future currency may
be remains to be seen. If furnished by the Government, it will possess
the quality of soundness, for nothing can be better than the Government under which we live; but it cannot possess elasticity. Elasticity
means conformity to business wants, the supply quickly responding to
the demand, and not conformity to fixed rules and statutory laws. The
Government in the very nature of things cannot supply such currency
as the public requires. The national banks can and with proper legislation would supply this want fully and completely. Large appreciation of
the price of United States bonds, the basis for circulation, large depreciation of the rates of interest, and onerous taxation have made circulation
unprofitable, and the volume has fallen from $362,889,134, September 30,
1882—the highest amount in circulation at any one time—to $172,426,610
atthecloseof the last fiscalyear. The volume would have beenmuch more
contracted but for the fact that all national banks, whether they take
out circulation or not, are obliged to own and assign to the Treasurer
of the United States in trust interest-bearing bonds of the United
States, and in case their capital is $150,000 or less, to the amount at par of
one-fourth their capital stock. If the capital exceeds $150,000, they are
required to have on deposit in the Treasury not less than $50,000 in
bonds. Being obliged to own these bonds, to measureably lessen the
cost of carrying such high-priced securities, they take out circulation.
The following carefully prepared tables show the profits upon circulation based upon a deposit of $100,000, bonds. June 30 was selected,
as it marks the close of an interest period for Government bonds.

Total of bonds, $163,196,000—$146,876,400, maximum circulation at 0.353 per cent,
$518,985.55.

It will be noted that by taking out circulation the banks realize in
each case more than 6 per cent on the money invested in bonds. The
money invested in the purchase of bonds as a basis of circulation
yields in the case of 2 per cent bonds 6.032; in case of 4 per cent
bonds, 6.33; in case of 6 per cent bonds, 7.218.
Since the 5 per cent redemption fund counts as part of a bank's
reserve as well in hands of the Treasury as in vaults of the banks, it
would have been proper not to make the deduction above. This would
add materially to the profit of circulation. The $43 average cost of
examinations of banks with $100,000 capital is not wholly an incident
of circulation.
In the above tables money is assumed to be worth 6 per cent. If
the prevailing rate was less than 6 per cent a bank could better afford
to take out circulation. If the prevailing rate was more than 6 per
cent a bank could less afford to take out circulation. By allowing circulation to the par of bonds and removing the tax on circulation it
would be possible for banks located in sections where rates of interest
are high to take out circulation without loss.
Since the organization of the national banks $1,521,437,753 have been
issued and redeemed without loss to any bill-holder. There can be no
loss upon national-bank circulation. All the solicitude as to what
shall serve as a basis for circulation when Government bonds cease to
exist is premature. The 4J per cent bonds (act July 14, 1870) matured
September 1, 1891; $25,364,500 were continued at the pleasure of the
Government at 2 per cent interest; interest upon the balance ceased;
$24,520,900 have been redeemed and $983,800 remain outstanding$3,617,700 have been redeemed since October 31,1891. ~No bonds have
been purchased by the Government during the past year, the interestbearing debt has not been reduced, and with the diminished revenues,
under the act of October 1,1890, and swelling volume of annual expenditure, there is likely to be no reduction in the immediate future.
The trend of public opinion is decidedly in favor of limiting our revenues to the current needs of the Government. The currency sixes that
begin to mature in 1896 are primarily obligations of the subsidized
Pacific railroads. The railroads will hardly be prepared to pay these
bonds at maturity, and they will likely be continued like the 4J per
cent bonds, at the option of the Government, at a low rate of interest.
By relieving national-bank circulation, as above suggested, these
bonds could be extended at a very low rate of interest—too low for investment purposes, yet available as a basis of circulation. Of the $25,364,500 of 2 per cent bonds outstanding October 1, $22,050,350 were held
by national banks to secure circulation. The 4 per cent bonds do not
mature until July 1,1907. Since December 6,1890, the Government has
been out of the market as a purchaser of its own bonds, and the price then
paid for 4per cent bonds ($123,356) hasfallen to $114,625. Thelower the
price of the bonds the more available they become as a basis of profitable circulation. If happily the time arrives when the United States

REPOET OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

Government has no bonded debt, or not sufficient to be available as a
basis for circulation, there will, of necessity, be other choice securities
available for such purpose.
In my judgment the Government should issue 2 per cent bonds, running twenty, thirty, and forty years, and with the proceeds purchase
the 4 per cent bonds outstanding. This would result in a savin g of interest to the Government, distribute the maturity of the bonds over a proper
period, and furnish the best conceivable basis for circulation. The Government could hardly have floated a 2 per cent bond but for the needs
of the national banks, and with liberal yet conservative laws as to circulation it is possible that a bond bearing a slightly lower rate than 2
per cent could be placed at par.
A United States 4 per cent bond of 1907, in order to yield interest
at the rate of 2 per cent per annum for the remaining period it has to
run, must have been purchased October 1,1892, for $125,492. In other
words, the Government could have exchanged a 2 per cent bond, at
par, maturing July 1, 1907, for the 4 per cent bond of 1907, at $125,492,
without loss or gain. The exchange would have been equal. The 4 per
cent bonds on October 1,1892, were worth $114,625. The extended 2
per cent bonds, payable at the pleasure of the Government, were worth,
on the same date, 101. Could the Government have exchanged a 2 per
cent bond maturing July 1, 1907, for the outstanding issue of 4 per
cent bonds upon the basis of the quotations jufct given, it would have
resulted in saving to the Government (that is, the taxpayers) the
enormous sum of $67,161,551.47, as appears from the following computation:
Par value of outstanding 4s, October 1,1892
Market value of 4s at 114f, and of 2s at 101, October 1, 1892

While the principal of the indebtedness would be increased, the interest reduction would be so great for the remaining fifty-nine interest
quarto periods, from October 1, 1892, to July 1, 1907, as to show a net
saving of $67,161,551.47.
A 4 per cent bond at 114f, on October 1,1892, would pay an investor,
interest at the rate of 2.793 per cent.
It is probable, from the above statistics, that investors would not exchange 4 per cent bonds for 2 percents, but the fact that banks own,
for the purpose of securing circulation, nearly 87 per cent of the continued 2 per cent bonds in preference to the 4 per cents, shows that
they prefer a bond at par, with a lower rate of interest, as a basis for
circulation. A fixed period to run, and a long period would add to the
value of the bond.
With so great a saving possible, the interests of economy, as well as
all public and private interests that depend for prosperity upon a sound

and elastic currency, emphasize the wisdom of settling this question of
a proper basis for national-bank circulation by the issue of bonds having a long time to run, at a low rate of interest, with which to retire
the outstanding issue of 4 per cent bonds.
The national banks for a long series of years have demonstrated their
ability to furnish the country with currency ample in amount, elastic
in volume, sound beyond peradventure, and every dollar of which,
every moment of its existence, was worth par throughout the length
and breadth of the land. A change from such a currency to another less
secure is certainly an unwise experiment. It is proposed to restore
State bank circulation by removing the 10 per cent tax imposed March
3, 1865. There is no fairer test of men or methods than the record they
make for themselves. Every item of assets and liabilities, as shown by
the trial balance of their general ledgers, of every national bank, for
the whole period of their existence, has five times each year been published in the locality, reported to the Comptroller of the Currency, and
become a matter of record. Additional tables resolve all composite
items into detail. Additional statistical tables complete the history
and workings of such banks. Special reports show the course of trade
and exchange. In case of failure, equally explicit information is obtained from receiver's reports, total claims, total assets, percentage
paid, percentage of loss, items of expense, including receiver's fees, and
attorneys' fees.
All this information is annually reported to Congress and spread before the country. The course of trade, the material condition, the prosperity or depression of the country, are truthfully reflected in the condition of its banks. And the publication of the above conditions, in
the reports of these banks, has been of inestimable value to publicists
and economists. This is the record of national banks under Federal
authority and Federal supervision. To compare the present national
banking system with the old State banking system is to compare order
with confusion—perfect system, under central control, with imperfect
system, under diversified control. The banking systems of the different States, during the period that they were banks of issue, differed
essentially. Some had excellent banking laws; others had very crude
laws. Some had effective supervision, and some had none, or worse
than none. In no State was the aggregate or percentage of loss to
note-holders of State banks reported, nor the losses to creditors or stockholders. The most careful research reveals only general statements, or
estimates of*loss, in the current financial literature of the time.
Congress, by resolution in 1832, directed the Secretary of the Treasury to procure and publish statistics relating to banks in the several
States. Such publication was made more or less complete, with the
exception of some years, until 1864*; then followed an interval until
1873, when the Comptroller of the Currency was directed to procure
from official and other reliable sources and report to Congress information in relation to State banking institutions. The statistics in
relation to State banks prior to 1864 have been the subject of much

correct. The principal sources of information in compiling these statistics have been

study and research on the part of mf predecessors. The Comptroller's
report for 1876 contains elaborate tables upon this subject. The question of restoring State bank circulation gives especial value to all information of this character, and I have therefore carefully studied and
analyzed all the statistics attainable upon this subject, showing the
condition of State banks prior to 1864, arid x^ublish in the Appendix of
this report, arranged in convenient form, tables presenting such information.
The most notable feature of the State-bank circulation was the violent
expansion and contraction to which it was subject.
The charter of the United States Bank expired March 4,1811. Mr.
Gallatin made the following estimate of the total circulation of the
country, including notes of the Bank of the United States: In 1811,
$28,100,000; in 1815, $45,500,00 j ; in 1816, $68,000,000; and in 1820,
$44,863,000.
In 1840, according to Knox, there were in Ohio thirty-seven banks,
with $10,000,000 capital. January 1, 1845, there were but eight banks
in operation, with a capital of $2,171,807. Up to and including 1856
thirty-six of the banks organized under the laws of that State had
failed, their notes being wholly worthless, and eighteen more had
failed, their notes being worth 50 to 75 cents on the dollar. From
January 1, 1857 the circulation of the whole country shrank from
$214,788,892 to $155,208,744 on January 1, 1858, a decrease of over
$59,000,000 in one year (Eeport of Secretary of the Treasury). The
circulation of Illinois increased from $5,500,000 in 1857 to $12,300,000
in 1861. (Knox.) Much of this circulation was secured by various
forms of security, and its redemption provided for by State authority.
Yet it was seldom that this security proved adequate. The Bankers'
Magazine for February, 1858, advertised a list of twenty-eight suspended banks in Indiana whose notes would be redeemed by the auditor of that State at the following rates: ten at par, and the remainder
at prices ranging from 97 down to 69. According to the same authority, in July, 1859, a convention of Wisconsin bankers, held at Milwaukee, fixed the discount on Illinois bank bills at 1 per cent until
September 20, and at 3 per cent thereafter. This action was retaliatory, and simply established the same discount upon Illinois bills
that Illinois had adopted as to Wisconsin. In April, 1859, the Indiana
banks determined not to accept the notes of Illinois or Wisconsin. All
bank notes of interior banks were at a discount in New York (many
unsalable) from 50 per cent down to the current exchange, which was
charged against the notes of perfectly solvent banks.
The above instances illustrate the friction existing between different
States.
The cost of exchange on commercial centers was greatly increased
under State-bank circulation. Now a man in Montana deposits his
money in his local bank and buys Chicago exchange. His money is as
good in Chicago as Helena, and he simply pays the cost of transmittal.
In fact, the competition for business is so intense and the indulgence
of banks correspondingly great that frequently when an interior merchant goes to New York to buy goods he takes a letter of introduction
from his home bank to their New York bank correspondent, draws
checks for the amount of his purchases upon his home bank, which are
paid by the New York correspondent and debited to the home bank.
Thus the item of exchange disappears entirely.
The dangers of counterfeiting under the national-banking system
are at a minimum. The bills are printed by the Government upon

carefully prepared paper made by the Government and never out of
the Government's possession. If circulating notes were to be printed
by the forty-four different States, the opportunities for counterfeiting
would be multiplied. Under the old State-bank system counterfeiting
was an established industry, and a description of the methods and
devices possesses the qualities of a romance. From January 1 to April
1,1859,* there appeared 242 new counterfeits. Hon. John Jay Knox
(whose long incumbency of the office of Comptroller of the Currency,
as well as his qualities as a student of finance, entitles his judgment to
highest consideration) estimates the average loss to note-holders under
the old State-bank system at 5 per cent. As before remarked, no estimate can be made of the loss to creditors and stockholders. By advertising for the redemption of circulating notes the statutory period
and refusing all later presentations, it frequently happened that the
stockholders reaped large profits where the note-holders met almost
total loss.
I have given the above random illustrations as suggestive simply of
the evils attendant upon the old State-bank circulation. It is by no
means exhaustive. I am aware that the present can hardly be compared to antebellum times, and that the changed conditions which now
exist would necessarily obviate some and soften many of the evils attendant upon State-bank circulation.
In order to furnish a modern standard of comparison between
national banks and those other than national, Comptroller Knox reported statistics, showing the number of failures of State, savings
banks, and private bankers, for the three years ending January 1,1871).
The number of failures was 210 5 total claims, $88,440,028; amount paid
and to be paid, $58,152,638 ; losses, $32,616,661; upon which he com
ments:
The average annual loss sustained by creditors during the past sixteen years by
the insolvency of national banks throughout the United States has been $390,012,
and that occasioned by the failures of banks other than national, as shown by th*>
incomplete data obtained by the Comptroller, has for the last three years been not
less than $10,872,220.

Hon. Edward S. Lacey, in his report as Comptroller for the year
1891, gave a list of failures in the United States of bankers, brokers,
trust
companies, and savings banks, for the year ended June 30,1891.
u
These number, in all, 117 institutions, having liabilities estimated at
$38,271,511, and assets valued at $20,794,092. (Bradstreet.)"
Through the courtesy of Bradstreet I am able to report, in a table to
be found in the Appendix, the failures of State, savings, and private
banks, and loan and trust companies for the year ended June 30,1892.
The number is sixty-nine. Aggregate liabilities, $11,024,628. Estimated value of assets, $6,125,189. The percentage of assets to liabilities 55.56.
The seventeen national banks that failed during the last report year
had aggregate liabilities amounting to $12,538,448. Estimated value
of assets, $10,750,347. Percentage of assets to liabilities, 85.74.
However recent the comparison the conclusion is in favor of the
national-bank system.
If the forty-four States are to furnish the currency of the country,
then we will have a chain of sovereignties furnishing our circulating
medium, each with varying laws and varying supervision, and, like all
chains, the system as a whole would be no stronger than its weakest
link. Disorganized finance in one State would affect all. Argentina

financial troubles precipitated the Barings failure at a time when this
country was generally prosperous; and yet it produced a quasi panic
in the United States and cast a cloud over the financial horizon of the
whole world which has not yet fully disappeared. Banking is not a
philanthropical business and banks will not issue circulating notes
unless it is profitable. Manifestly issuing notes would be most profitable where greatest latitude was allowed or greatest laxity prevailed,
and with the circulation of any State discredited or the particular
banks of any State discredited, conservative bankers and conservative
business men would have to discriminate against such bills.
We all know the practical machinery employed to enforce such discrimination. Our State boundaries and commercial centers would be
policed with brokers' offices, and commerce would be compelled to pause
at State lines and pay the exchange demanded in order to provide
itself with money acceptable in the locality where proposed business
was to be done. The bill of a perfectly solvent bank in Oregon would
be worth just as much less than its face in Chicago or New York as it
would cost to send such bill to Oregon for redemption and secure the proceeds in return—cost of transmission each way and interest for the time
required—in short, exchange. It would be precisely on a par with the
note of any equally reputable business firm. The only way this discount could be avoided would be to provide for the redemption of such
notes in Chicago, New York, Boston, and other money centers. Should
interior and far Western banks make their bills worth par throughout the
country by providing for their redemption at convenient money centers, it would compel them to keep an amount of idle reserve with their
redemption agents that would seriously impair the profits on circulation. And the United States Government would not facilitate banking
transactions then, as it does now, by receiving money at its subtr^asuries and transporting the same to any part of the country for the
meager charge of 15 to 50 cents per $1,000.
A bank bill or note is a noninterest-bearing obligation payable to
bearer upon demand, in lawful money, titje to which passes by delivery.
The value of such note depends upoji the financial credit of the bank
issuing the same, the special provision of law for its redemption, the
security set apart for such purpose, the fidelity with which such laws
are enforced, as to redemption, the character of supervision, and the
degree of conservative banking thereby insured. The profit to a bank
issuing such bills depends altogether upon the length of time they
remain outstanding before being presented for redemption. With the
facilities afforded by railway and express companies for presenting
such notes for redemption, it is probable that they would speedily find
their way back to the place of issue. This would seriously impair the
profits and would necessitate more favorable conditions of issue in
order to render the issuing of circulation profitable. No circulation
will issue unless there is a profit in it. The fact of the probable and
speedy return of this circulation to the locality of issue is made an
argument in its favor, inferring therefrom that each locality would be
abundantly supplied with money. A bad penny always returns, and
the tinge of doubt that would attend this State-bank circulation would
doubtless give it a homeward impetus. But bear in mind that it would
be worth no more at "the place of issue, though passing at par, than in
Boston or New York. By just such a percentage as its purchasing
power was diminished in our commercial centers, by just that percentage would the price of commodities be appreciated where it passed at
par. This is an inevitable law attendant upon depreciated currency.

The stream that flows from the mountain to the sea obeys no more
natural law than that which accumulates currency in commercial
centers. If the water stood in pools on the mountain it would necessarily be pretty damp at the seaboard, and, if these localities that so
loudly clamor for more money had all the currency they wanted, that
same currency would be a drug in banking centers. There is money
enough, and the range of interest for the past year has been phenomenally low, and, as before stated, any bank in any part of the country
could have had any quantity of money transported to it at the moderate
charge of 15 to 50 cents per $1,000. But such bank must have the
equivalent of money; it must have securities, or receivables, or some
form of credits, acceptable, in order to get the money. And right here
is the trouble. This clamor for more money comes from the newer, lessdeveloped sections of the country, and from people who have something
to sell that no one wants to buy. The securities they offer do not
commend themselves to investors. No amount of currency would correct this. They say, " Money is plenty while the crop is being moved,
but we want it plenty at all times." When the crop is gone, what
have they to represent money, with which to buy money? People can
get money for their labor and for their produce. They can borrow
upon good collaterals, real or personal. People with any equivalent
of money can get it. This whole trouble is born of the heresy, which
has a strangely extended hold upon the public mind, that the Government can create wealth and that if there were more money people
could, in some unexplained way, obtain it without rendering an equivalent.
A conditional repeal of this 10 per cent tax is proposed, conditioned
upon compliance by the State banks with certain regulations imposed
by Congress, designed to secure circulation and protect note-holders
against loss. Such State banks would then be national banks for the
purpose of issuing circulating notes, and Congress must provide for
their supervision and examination, to see that the laws are complied
with. Can currency be better taken out by a bank organized under a
State law than under an act of Congress ? Would Congress or the country gain anything by the proposed divided jurisdiction over these banks
of issue? Would not division lead to conflict and confusion? All
national banks make reports of condition to the Comptroller, on a past
day, fixed by him, in such form as the Comptroller prescribes, and upon
blanks furnished by him. These forms are very complete as to balance
sheet and detail. In order to comply with these calls a bank's books
must be so kept as to furnish the required information. These reports
are of very great value to the banks themselves, in systematizing their
bookkeeping and insuring good and uniform methods of business. The
information reported, all on the same date, is of great value to the public. What would be gained by denationalizing our banks in all respects,
except as to circulation? Can the various State legislatures be
depended upon to provide better laws and better supervision than Congress?
It is argued that 92 per cent of all business transactions consummated through banks are represented by credits—that is, exchanges
and offsets—and that 8 per cent only is represented by money. The
Government does not assume to regulate the 92 per cent. Why should
it the 8 per cent? Why not as well allow State bank notes to circulate? Their acceptance is purely voluntary. That statement is theoretically true, but practically it is wholly false. A banker, or large

men or expert information, to exercise discrimination between the
strong and the weak banks. Bnt what can the artisan, the day laborer,
the miner, or the farmer know of such a matter^ From the nature of
their calling they can exercise no discrimination. They know, and
th§y can only know, that the Government allows such bills to circulate,
in form and semblance of money, and they have the right to hold the
Government responsible that it be worth 100 cents on the dollar,
whether it comes from New York or New Mexico.
The Constitution of the United States prohibits the States from
coining money or making anything except gold and silver legal tender.
State-bank bills could not become a legal tender. Neither are nationalbank bills. State-bank bills when issued add just so much to the
liabilities of the bank. They would circulate freely in times of prosperity and confidence. In times of monetary stringency and general
distrust they would return to the banks for redemption. They would
have to be redeemed in legal-tender money provided by Congress.
Congress must, under the Constitution, provide all the money that
possesses a full debt-paying power. By every consideration of sound
business principles it should provide all the money that the country
requires. No public interest can be served by dividing this function
with the forty-four States. Every period of financial depression in
the past resulted in the suspension of specie payments, more or less
general, by the banks; that is, resulted in the inability of the banks
to redeem their notes. The same conditions would produce similar results in the future. If State-bank notes*are allowed to circulate, their
acceptance is not voluntary; it becomes a business necessity. Many
mine-owners, manufacturers, and large employers of labor practiced
paying their help in store orders, in order to control their trade and
make the extra profit. Surely, under the law, the acceptance or rejection of such orders was purely voluntary, and yet their acceptance for
fear of losing their employment was general.
So great did this abuse become that many States have enacted laws
compelling corporations to pay their laborers, at regular intervals, in
money. The wealthy class could provide themselves with the means of
discriminating against the notes of weak banks, and if they found themselves possessed of any would proceed to work them off upon their less
fortunate neighbors. That is the record of the past. It would be the
experience of the future. To the average laboring man a bank-note reporter and detector would be as inexplicable as the binomial theorem.
When a bank suspends, the fact that the note is secured and will be
eventually paid is poor consolation to the laborer who needs his money for
his daily use. The note of a failed national-bank is as good as that of any
bank in the system. The restoration of State-bank circulation portends
disaster to that class of our citizens who most need and have most right
to ask protection from the Government. State-bank circulation loses its
money power in a crisis. It is a source of weakness and adds to the
danger. Instead of paying debts it cbmes forward itself to be paid.
CLEAN MONEY.

Currency, as applied to the money of a country, has been defined as
a " continuous succession of uses." A little reflection upon such continuous use, the journey from hand to hand, till to till, pocket to pocket,
over the damp counter of the saloon, through the necessarily soiled hands
of honest industry, treasured by the poor and carried in close proximity
to the person, it is easy to realize that it becomes " filthy lucre." Soiled

paper money is popularly believed to be a potent means of disseminating infectious and contagious diseases. The Bank of England never
reissues a note.
The statute provides for the redemption of United States notes when
they "are so mutilated or otherwise injured as to be unfit for use," and
for the redemption of national-bank notes when they are "worn, defaced, mutilated, or otherwise unfit for circulation." A note with the
accumulated filth of continuous use is unfit for circulation and should
be redeemed. Send in the old and let the people have new and clean
money. My experience as examiner in the discount and savings banks
of New York has impressed this matter upon me.

In point of numerical accessions to the system, Texas leads with
twenty-two banks; Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania following
in the order named. Illinois, however, provided the largest amount of
capital. It has been noticeable for several years that the large proportion of increase in the number of active national banks is assignable to
those States and Territories located West of the Mississippi River and
in the Southern States. Of the one hundred and sixty-three banks
organized during the past year, eighty-two are located in States and
Territories west of the Mississippi, and thirty-six are located in the
Southern States. Pennsylvania still has the greatest number of national banks in operation, Massachusetts the greatest aggregate capital, and New York the largest amount of deposits. As prosperity and
population increase in the western portion of the country, extending
from north to south, so the privileges of the national banking system
are availed of in contrast with private banks and other financial corporations organized under State laws. During the past year the seventeen
failures were widely distributed, there having been three in Kansas; in
!New Mexico and Texas two each, and in other States only one. The
following table exhibits the number of banks organized, failed, and in
voluntary liquidation, and the net increase or decrease, numerically, each
year since 1863:

t The total authorized capital stock on October 31 was $693,868,665; the paid-in capital, $692,812,330,
including the ca-pital stock of liquidating and insolvent banks which have not deposited lawful money
for the retirement of their circulating notes.

As stated elsewhere with more particularity, the failures during the
past year were not disastrous, and in proportion to the number in active
operation were not so numerous as in some preceding years.
AMENDMENTS TO THE LAWS.

The Comptroller of the Currency is required annually to report u any
amendments to the laws relative to banking by which the system may
be improved, and the security of the holders of its notes and other
creditors may be increased."
(1) In my judgment the law should be amended so as to provided
as follows: That the minimum deposit of Government bonds, required
by national banks, be reduced to $1,000 in case of banks of $50,000 cap-'
ital, and to $5,000 in cases of banks whose capital exceeds $50,000.
Such deposit would be sufficient to guarantee the payment of all expenses and assessments imposed by law. Banks are no longer organized for the purpose of issuing circulation, and when organized to do
business as banks of discount and deposit it is clearly a hardship to
require them to purchase these high-priced Government bonds beyond
amount above suggested,

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

(2) That any national bank be allowed to issue notes equal to the
par value of the United States bonds which it may purchase and assign
to the Treasurer of the United States for the purpose of securing circulation.
(3) That the monthly withdrawal of bonds pledged to secure circulation shall not exceed four and a half millions in the aggregate. Should
withdrawals equal the amount named in any month (which is unlikely)
such amount would be offset by the additional circulation issued under
the second amendment suggested.
(4) That the tax on national-bank circulation be repealed. The banks
have already paid into the Treasury $72,670,412.30 in taxes upon circulation. The banks should only be assessed an amount sufficient to
defray the actual cost to the Government of providing circulation.
(5) That the limit of the amount which may be loaned to any person,
company, corporation, or firm, to 10 per cent of the capital stock of the
bank, be so amended as to read "capital and surplus." There should
be an additional amendment making an exception in favor of temporary
loans, secured by collateral, in our largest business centers. #
(6) That the Government issue bonds, with a long period to run and
at a low rate of interest, wTith which to retire the present bonded
debt of the United States, and which bonds may be used as a basis to
secure national-bank circulation. *
(7) That the Comptroller of the Currency, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, be empowered to remove officers and
directors of a bank for violations of law, leaving the vacancy to be
filled in the usual way 5 first giving such officers and directors an opportunity to be heard.
(8) That bank examiners be required to take an oath of office before
entering ux)on the discharge of their duties, and to give a bond in such
amount and with such sureties as the Comptroller of the Currency may
require.
(9) That the Comptroller of the Currency be allowed to appoint two
general examiners, of conspicuous ability and experience, to be paid
out of the public funds, whose duty it shall be to visit, assist, and
supervise the various examiners in their several districts, in order to
secure uniformity in method and greater efficiency in work.
(10) That the law be so amended as to prohibit officers or employes
of a bank from borrowing its funds in any manner except upon application to and approval by the board of direction.
(11) In order to facilitate the collection of assessments upon shareholders in failed national banks, that the receivers of such banks be
required to file with the county clerk or register of each county where
any shareholder may reside a statement showing the names of shareholders residing in such county and the amount of stock held by them
respectively; the filing of such statement to constitute a lien upon
the realty of such shareholders, which lien may be vacated, upon motion,
by giving proper bond, and which shall be discharged, by the receiver,
upon payment of the assessment.
(12) Section 380, United States Eevised Statutes^ reads as follows:
All suits and proceedings arising out of the provisions of law governing national
banking associations, in which the United States or any of its officers or agents shall
be parties, shall be conducted by the district attorneys of the several districts, under
the direction and supervision of the Solicitor of the Treasury.

Under this section it is claimed that United States district attorneys are ex-officio attorneys of the receivers of all failed national banks



Discussed elsewhere in this report.

20

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

located within their respective districts, and that all suits and proceedings must be instituted by or through them. It is difficult to believe that
the courts will finally sustain such a construction, that a simple action
for debt, which can be maintained in a State court as well as in the
United States court, and is not based upon any provision of the national-bank act, falls within the provisions of said act, or that a receiver of a failed national bank is an "agent" of the United States
within the meaning of said section.
It is difficult to believe that Congress has the power to impose the
services of any attorney upon such a trust, where the assets are wholly
private property, belonging to creditors and shareholders. Certain it
is that had Congress intended that such a broad construction would be
put upon this section it would have made some provision for exceptional cases. It is a physical impossibility for the various United
States attorneys to act as attorney or counsel for the receiver. In many
instances they reside several hundred miles distant from the trust. In
other instances there are so many trusts within a single district that
the United States attorney can not attend to all the business to be
done. The result in such cases is that where United States attorneys
insist upon being employed they become attorneys of record, nominally
appearing in all actions or proceedings, while some resident attorney
does the actual work. As a consequence the trust is obliged to pay
double fees for having its work done.
If the United States attorney must be employed in accordance with
the above section, then every time there is a change in such officer it
would necessitate the substitution of his successor in office, thus bringing in an entirely new man, with no familiarity with the pendiug litigation. Under such circumstances the usual practice has been to
retain the ex-district attorney as counsel, thus producing a double
charge for the services rendered.
Many United States attorneys make no claim to be employed.
Others when confronted with the situation relinquish their claim, but
still others insist upon being employed, and, when not employed, insist
upon being paid a fee for every act that is done by the attorney in the
regular administration of the aflairs of the trust. The Department has
in its possession bills rendered by United States attorneys who have
never performed any act for the benefit of the trust, have never been
consulted by the receiver, and never in any way had any connection
with the affairs of the failed bank, except to ascertain from the record
what suits and proceedings had been instituted and then have made
such suits and proceedings a basis of claim for compensation.
I append a table showing the various failed banks, their location,
and the location of the different United States attorneys who would
have to be employed by the receiver in case the construction sought
to be placed upon section 380 is a proper one. Also, the distance at
which such United States attorneys are located from the respective
trusts.
From this table will clearly appear the physical inconvenience, if not
impossibility, of these United States attorneys acting as attorneys for
various receivers. Surely these attorneys ought not to be paid for
what they can not and do not do. These trusts should not be subjected to double fees, and the above section should be amended so as
to provide that attorneys other than United States attorneys may be
employed by receivers of failed banks, whenever in the opinion of the
Comptroller of the Currency such employment will be for the interest
of a trust?

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

The gross liabilities of the seventeen banks which failed during the
year were $12,538,448. The estimated value of the assets is $10,750,347,
or 85.74 per cent of the liabilities.
Five of these banks failed prior to December 1, and their failure was
the result of the quasi panic of 1890 and 1891, and a continuation of the
bank failures which characterized the year immediately preceding.
The Maverick National Bank of Boston had liabilities of $8,727,833,
or more than two-thirds of the total liabilities of the banks failing during the year. Aside from that institution the failures were inconsequential in amount, and, as noted above, the probable loss to creditors
is less than the average for previous years.
No bank has failed since July 6, 1892.
DOMESTIC EXCHANGES.

One of the great values which the national-bank system possesses is
the facility it affords for obtaining accurate statistical information as
to the course and character of business. With nearly four thousand
banks, representing nearly every locality and every business interest,
under central supervision, it is within the power of the Comptroller of
the Currency to obtain data showing exact conditions of business at
stated time or times.
.For the purpose of showing the course and magnitude of business of
the banks, my predecessors have called for the exchanges drawn by the
different banks upon each other and upon the reserve and central reserve
cities for a certain year. These exchanges represent the settlement of
balances between the different banks and correspond exactly with the
cash balances paid or received by the different banks, in settlement of
their exchanges in our clearing-house cities. My immediate predecessor, Mr. Lacey, called for such information for the year ended June 30,
1890, and June 30,1891.
Thinking that the monetary stringency that prevailed in the fall of
1890 and the early part of the year 1891 might be thought to impair the
value of statistics for these years, as a criterion, I have also obtained
like information for the year ended June 30,1892. Thus we have three
successive years, covering what maybe fairly termed a sample period,
and the information set forth in the following tables may be accepted as
fairly reflecting the volume and character of the business of the banks
for the periods covered, hence it will be unnecessary to call for similar
information from the banks for some years to come.
Out of the 3,759 banks called upon, 3,647 complied with the Comptroller's request and furnished the data for the following table:

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

From the preceding table it will be observed that the percentage of
exchange drawn upon New York, Boston, and Philadelphia shows a
slight loss each year, while the percentage drawn upon Chicago and
St. Louis shows a slight increase, indicating that, with the growth and
increase of wealth in the interior of the country, the proportionate
amount of business done by these large interior cities is increased out
of proportion to the seaboard cities.
The following table shows the number of banks drawing and the
amount of exchange drawn by all the national banks reporting, classified by States and arranged in the order of the total amounts drawn,
further subdivided so as to show the operations of the banks in reserve
cities, and other banks, separately, during the year ended June 30,
1892, to which has been added a column giving corresponding totals
for the years 1891 and 1890:

foregoing statement, the following table is introduced, which exhibits
the amount drawn by banks in the several reserve cities:

In connection with these tables, showing the vast volume of business
done by these banks, the question naturally suggests itself: What is the
cost of this business to the public and what character of service is rendered to the public by these banks f
Answering this question the Comptroller, in 1890, obtained data
from which he submitted a table showing the amount of premium
charged on each $100 of exchange drawn, stated in cents, fractions
thereof being omitted.

Average rate, United States, per $100 on total exchange ($11,559,898,255)

This table shows an average of 8 J cents on each $100 of exchange
drawn by all of these banks; that is, exchange drawn on each and
every one of their correspondents with whom they may have had dealings during the year.
In order to give a more M l and practical illustration of this subject,
I have this year prepared data showing the total amount of exchange
drawn by the various banks reporting to have been $12,994,959,590, and
the total commissions charged to have been $3,343,736, or an average
of .03 of 1 cent on the $100 of exchange.
Contrasting the current rates charged by the banks (when they make
any charge at all) with the statement just made, and we see what a vast
amount of exchange is drawn without any compensation whatever.

In order to mark the progress made in banking and emphasize the
improvement in the service which railroad, express companies, and telegraph facilities afford and bring into proper prominence the extent to
which the bank service to the public has been cheapened, as well as
enlarged and improved, I insert here, for the purpose of comparison or
contrast, two tables taken from Elliott's Funding System, showing the
cost of exchange and the charges which the public were required to
pay at the dates therein mentioned.

The competition for bank accounts takes various forms. Interest is
paid upon average balances, exceeding certain amounts, in many cases.
But the usual method of rewarding depositors for keeping balances is
taking their collection items and crediting the same as a cash deposit,
and giving them the exchange required in course of business at par.
The fact that the average commission received by the banks on each
$100 of exchange sold is three hundredths of 1 cent shows conclusively
what an enormous amount of business is done by the banks gratuitously, or without direct charge. The number of b'xnks reporting
exchange drawn this year (3,647) is 10 greater than last year. The
volume of exchange drawn is greater by $212,747,095. If to the
$12,994,959,590 reported by the 3,647 banks we add for the remaining
112 national banks, and then take into consideration the exchange that
must have been drawn by the 4,520 private bankers and State banking
institutions other than savings banks, whose general condition is set
forth in a subsequent portion of this report, we shall have a grand
total of exchange drawn by all the banks, approximating $17,500,000,000.
A bank having a balance to settle with another bank does so by remitting a draft upon some bank where it has a balance, usually upon New
York City. Drafts on New York are at a premium in most parts of the
country, seldom at a discount in any place. Thus by a system of draft
remittances the obligation of one interior bank to another drifts into
our money centers for collection, goes into the volume of the exchanges,
enjoys the economy of every possible offset, and this great volume of
business is transacted and all balances adjusted by the actual shipment
of a very small amount of money.
SUBSTITUTES FOB MONEY.

The subject of the currency of the country, always one of interest
and importance, is especially so at the present time, because of the
differences which obtain in the minds of the people in regard to what
the currency should be and under what authority it should be created.
It will api>ear from the statistics given in this report to what extent the use of money is minimized by means of clearing-house organizations in our principal cities, and, for the purpose of showing to what a
limited extent actual money enters into the business transactions of the
country, I have followed the precedent set by my predecessors in office
in 1881 gud 1890 and askecj all the banks under the supervision of l i




32

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

Bureau to report all receipts for the 15th day of September, 1892,
separately stated and classified.
My object in this report has been to furnish reliable data from which
the public could see and realize how small a percentage of business
transactions are represented by actual money, and how impossible it
is for the Government to furnish a volume of currency sufficient to meet
the wants of the people at all times—that is, in time of general distrust
or quasi panic.
Over 90 per cent of all business transactions are done by means of
credit. When the public lose confidence and credit is impaired and
refused, over 90 per cent of all business transactions are directly affected. It is easy to realize how impossible it is for the remaining 10
per cent of money to carry on the business of the country without monetary stringency and financial distress.
The refusal to extend or continue credit, the demand for payment in
money, leaves the actual money or currency of the country, be it $24
per capita or $50 per capita, utterly powerless to supply business needs.
Out of the 3,759 banks reporting their condition on July 12, reports
were received from only 3,473 in time for insertion in this report. Those
failing to report were the newer and less important institutions, hence
the data received may be taken as fairly representing the business of
the country.
The total receipts of the 3,473 banks on September 15, 1892, were
$331,205,213. September 17,1890, 3,474 banks reported total receipts
of $327,278,251. The classification is the same and the percentage
slightly varies.
The following table shows the character, amount, and percentage of
receipts of national banks on September 15, 1892:

It will be noted that 74.72 per cent of the total receipts are reported
by the 329 city batiks, showing an increase of over 2 per cent by the
country banks and a corresponding loss by the city banks, as compared with 1890, thus indicating a greater percentage of growth by the
county banks.

The changes indicate a marked increase in the amount of paper currency received, the extremes being represented by .65 per cent on September 17,1881, and 7.53 per cent on September 15,1892. The decrease
in gold coin is more marked than in the increase in silver.
The diminished proportion of receipts in checks and drafts is very
remarkable, the average per cent for the two days in 1881 being. 2.91

per cent greater than for the average of the two days in 1890; September 15, 1892, is 3.28 less than September 17, 1890.
Another fact which attracts attention is that the receipts of the fortyseven banks on July 1,1890, are very nearly the same in the aggregate
as those reported by forty-eight banks on September 17,1881, and slightly
less than for June 30, 1881. The receipts for September 17,1890, show
a very marked falling off in amount, but the percentages differ very
slightly from those shown on July 1,1890. The increase in paper currency (3.24) nearly equals the decrease in checks, as shown September
15, 1892. The receipts of the banks in all reserve cities, exclusive of
New York, similarly arranged, appear below:

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

The variation in the percentage of the different kinds of inoney7
checks, and drafts received, as shown in the statistics for September 15,
1892, do not essentially vary from those of 1890 and 1881. They fully confirm the general character of the banks' transactions. There has been
a noted decrease in the amount of national-bank notes received and
a corresponding increase in silver certificates and Treasury notes, caused
by the retirement of national-bank circulation and its supplanting by
.money issued directly by the Government. The percentage of checks and
drafts in New York in September, 1881, was 98.80$ in September, 1890,
95.64, and in September, 1892, it was 92.36, showing a decrease for each
of the three years reported, and a corresponding increase in the amount
of cash received by the banks over their counters, which brings the cash
receipts of the banks in the city of New York very near to the average
of the whole country. The average percentage for all other reserve
cities shows no material change.
IMPRUDENT METHODS.

The management of the national banks, as a whole, is entitled to the
highest commendation for efficiency and conservatism. Banks that
were disastrously affected, by continual crop failures, in certain sections of he country, are realizing the benefit of last year's bountiful
harvest, and when their patrons realize upon this year's crop it is confidently expected that their condition will be made satisfactory. The
maxim that disaster usually overtakes any business when too much
extended applies equally to banking, and syndicate banking illustrates
this rule. Where the same parties organize a series of banks it usually
transpires that they are not seeking investment for their own capital,
but seeking the capital of others to invest. Such banks afford unusual
facilities for " kiting," and it is with this class that much trouble is
experienced. The competition for bank accounts among banks in reserve cities is so intense that "promoters" find it easy to establish a
bank, open an account with their reserve-agent bank in some city, and
the president or cashier secures from such reserve-agent bank a loan
upon his stock as collateral. By opening several such accounts the
entire stock in some instances is used as collateral, and these "promoters v need but the 10 or 20 per cent margin required (in other words,
$5,000 or $10,000) in order to start a bank. The opening of such accounts and making of such loans are coincident in point of time, or so
nearly so that the creditor bank must know that they are furnishing
capital with which to float the new enterprise. This results in organizing many banks where they are not needed, and are too frequently
attended by loss to all parties connected with the enterprise.
Another practice that is made possible only by the assent of creditor
banks, is borrowing money on certificates of deposit. A country bank
wants to borrow money, issues its certificate of deposit, either time or
demand, in favor of the city correspondent, and sends the same forward, accompanied by bills receivable as collateral, andrequests the loan,
which is granted. As a result, the country bank adds to its liabilities
by increasing the amount due depositors, and adds to its assets by increasing the amount due from banks, and its published report of condition shows no bills payable. In other words, does not show the true
condition of the bank. It is perfectly legitimate and proper for a bank
to rediscount its receivables or borrow money, and all interior banks
do at certain seasons of the year, when crops are being moved, for instance. Whatever the form of instrument used in borrowing money,



40

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

it is a bill payable and should be so reported. Reserve banks can aid
the cause of good banking by requiring notes instead of certificates of
deposit. Happily this practice is rapidly diminishing.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The statute provides that five or more persons may organize a national bank. When it is fully organized and all preliminary requirements have been complied with, the Comptroller issues his certificate*
of authorization to commence the business of banking. The management of the bank is vested in a board of direction, who act through their
executive officers, president and cashier. The common and statute law
define their powers and prescribe the range and limits within which
they may do business. Shareholders invest their money because of
their faith in the efficiency of the manngement, their ability to acquire
business, and successfully and profitably to manage it. Tt is a business
venture on the part of the shareholders, with which the Government
has no more to do and no more solicitude than it has with the purchase
of a farm or stock in a manufacturing enterprise. The shareholders
elect the board of direction, and through such board manage their
banks. Hence for them to claim protection, through .Government control, would be to claim protection against their own acts. But these
banks issue notes which circulate as money, and it being the duty of
the Government to provide and regulate a circulating medium for the
people, the Government examines and supervises these banks to see
that all laws in respect to circulation are fully complied with.
This is apparently all that was originally contemplated as to national
banks. But these banks furnish the instrumentality of exchange—the
means of collection and payment of debts. They become large depositaries of the people's money ($1,765,422,983.68 at date of last report), by
means of which their business is largely transacted. They are so intimately connected with business transactions and their soundness so
essential to business prosperity that governmental control has gone one
step further and seeks to protect the public against loss—to protect a
bank's creditors. To this end all shareholders in national banks are
liable to an assessment for the purpose of paying creditors, to an amount
equal to their stock holdings. Thus the entire capital stock, plus an
assessment for an equal amount, becomes a guaranty of the faithfulness of the direction. The function of the Government is to restrain,
to insure good banking, by enforcing the prohibitions against unsafe
practices, which the law provides. The affirmative action of the banks
in their competition for business is left to the enterprise of their
managers, prompted by the desires of shareholders for dividends.
Directors give direction and control to the business of a bank, accept
or reject credits, and should understand its general condition. The
detailed workings of the banks must be intrusted to the officers and
employe's. We can have nothing better than men. Men make our laws
and men enforce them. Men manage our banks. No matter how elaborate the system, how numerous the checks upon error or upon wrongdoing, or however perfect the machinery, the machinery must be set in
motion and the system be enforced by men. There is in every system
a point where good or ill results depend upon the character of the men
in charge. If an engineer wants to ditch his train he can do so. If the
president or cashier of a bank wants to rob it, he can. Well-devised
systems may make it difficult. Efficient supervision may make it dangerous. The law may punish and risk thus be reduced to a minimum,




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

but nothing can prevent a dishonest man in charge from mismanaging.
Hence the chief and most important duty of directors is to select officers of character as well as experience and ability. They can best protect themselves and best serve the public by so doing. Our worst bank
failures reveal criminal conduct on the part of the directors, or neglect
of duty approximating criminality. Serious as this defect is7 its correction by legislation involves a counter danger. Legislation aimed at
a few banks affects all.
In our large cities it is very difficult to get the most desirable men to
act as directors. Those most actively engaged in business are the best
judges of credit, can least afford to give attention to the duties of the
office, and would most readily decline to serve. Legislation increasing
the financial responsibility of directors for losses to creditors would
depreciate the character of boards of direction and render the task of
getting good, responsible men more difficult.
There is no reason why a director should not borrow money of his
bank upon the same terms and conditions that other patrons are accommodated. There is every reason why he should not take advantage
of his position to secure better rates or greater accommodations than
his bank equities entitle him to. Officers of a bank should not be
allowed to borrow money by overdrawing their accounts, by putting
tickets in the cash, by discounting their own notes, or by discounting
their business paper, or in any way except by application to the board
of directors; and a law regulating such loans would be a wise enactment.
EXCESSIVE LOANS.

Section 5200 United States Eevised Statutes reads as follows:
The total liabilities to any association, of any person, or of any company, corporation, or firm for money borrowed, including, in the liabilities of a company or firm,
the liabilities of the several members thereof shall at no time exceed one-tenth part
of the amount of the capital stock of such association actually paid in. But the
discount of bills of exchange drawn in good faith against actually existing values
and the discount of commercial or business paper actually owned by the person
negotiating the same shall not be considered as money borrowed.

As the volume of business has increased the magnitude of individual
transactions has proportionately increased, in fact the concentration
of capital under single management, by means of large corporations
and by combinations, has been phenomenal. The natural economies
attendant upon wholesale business, the lower rates of transportation
and facilities of distribution, which location at metropolitan and railroad centers insures, is fast driving the small manufacturers out of
business and concentrating business in metropolitan centers. All this
increases the magnitude of separate transactions. Hence if 10 per cent
of the capital stock was a proper limit to individual loans in 1864, the
percentage of limitation should now be increased in our larger cities.
There is another important reason for such an increase. In the u sixties ?? banks did business upon their capital, supplied the wants of their
customers, and earned their dividends with the money which shareholders supplied. . Now, capital is made just sufficient to command
public confidence. Usually a large surplus is accumulated, but the
business is done upon depositors' money. Every symmetrical and wellmanaged business has its flush season, when its bank account should
show a good balance and its want season, when it legitimately calls
upon its bank for funds. Thus the balances of certain industries supply the wants of others and large bank capital is not required. Sur

plus belongs to the shareholders, and, aside from statutory definition,
is as much eajrital as the money originally paid in by shareholders.
The section quoted should at least be amended so as to read, u onetenth of the capital and surplus." It should be
noted that many banks,
upon advice of counsel, insist that " surplus?? is " capital" within the
meaning of said section.
In addition to including surplus with capital, as noted above, an exception to the one-tenth limit should be made in favor of temporary
loans, well secured with collateral, in our largest cities.
In my judgment, the limit to 10 x>er cent of capital and surplus is
none too small for rural and interior banks. The above section may be
amended as to the large cities, so as to conform to the necessities of
business and still be in strict accord with the requirements of conservative banking.
When so amended, there would be no more wholesome provision of
the banking law, for, while there are instances where banks with welldistributed assets have failed, caused by repeated crop failures or extreme monetary stringency, or some cause affecting the whole community, the common history of bank failures reveals as the superinducing cause the concentration of the bank's funds in a few hands or
in a few interests.
Experience has demonstrated that a strict compliance with the 10
per cent limit is impracticable in our large cities, for the reason that
it is contrary to the necessities of business. A bank with a million
capital could loan but $100,000 to any individual, company, corporation, or firm. Single business transactions involving a larger amount
are of frequent occurrence, and to divide one transaction between two
or more banks would prove troublesome and is not demanded by conservative banking. For instance, a draft may be made against one
consignment of grain for $200,000, and the consignee needs to borrow
$150,000 upon the bill of lading as security. The security can not be
divided; neither can the loan, in a practical sense.
Bank managers can not always gauge the business wants of the day,
and frequently find, late in the day, that they have more money than
their required reserve. Bather than carry it over night in their vaults
they make over night loans as best they can. This necessarily results
in loans in excess of the 10 per cent limit. A lower rate of interest is
usually realized on such loans than obtains earlier in the day, and the
loan is expected to be, and usually is, paid the next day.
The penalty for the violation of this law—the commencement of an
action by the Comptroller of the Currency, through the Attorney-General, to forfeit the bank's charter—is so severe as to render it nugatory.
It was doubtless made severe to prevent vexatious interference with
the affairs of the banks. It is difficult to fix a cast-iron rule, with inflexible penalties, without doing more harm than good. During the
quasi panic of 1890 many perfectly solvent firms were embarrassed for
want of money, and but for indulgences and aid upon the part of the
banks must have failed. They already had their full complement of
bank accommodation. The banks found upon investigation that they
were solvent, and, taking security, gave them additional accommodations, thus protecting themselves, saving these concerns from failure,
and relieving the public generally from loss and injury, which each
successive failure at such a time entails. Like other business, banking
has its emergencies, and when they arise discretion should be allowed
to act without incurring criminal liability.
Officers and directors are not apt to allow persons with whom they




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

are not financially interested to abuse the bank. Where loans to directors or officers are well secured there is no way of reaching such a case,
as the law now exists, and, so far as safety is concerned, perhaps no
need. In such case, if the loans are not well secured and the examiner
and Comptroller are not satisfied that they are good, the bank could
be required to charge them off and make an assessment upon their
shareholders to make good the impairment, if impairment existed, or
appoint a receiver, in case the capital was thus wiped out. The latter
course would involve a question of credit and values sometimes difficult to determine, and it frequently happens that the shareholders need
protection rather than punishment. The circumstances attcnding loans
made in excess of-the 10 per cent limit are so various and diverse that
they defy classification. It is difficult to frame a general rule that will
correct the evil resulting therefrom and not itself be productive of bad
results. Our country is so large and the contrast between city and
country—between the immense volume and varied transactions of the
one and the lesser volume and more uniform transactions of the other—
so great, that a uniform law that can wisely be applied to both must
of necessity possess wide latitude.
I think this whole difficulty, as well as others that arise, might be
substantially reached if the Comptroller, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, were given power, after a hearing, to remove
bank officers and directors for violations of law, leaving the vacancy
to be filled in the regular way. It is a power that would be seldom
exercised. The existence of the power would deter many who now
keep the letter, only to violate the spirit of the law.
EXAMINERS.

There are in the employ of this Bureau forty-two examiners. The
position is responsible and honorable, and calls for the exercise of energy, tact, discretion, and firmness, as well as business experience and
technical knowledge of banking. In order that he may discharge his
duties with ease and confidence, familiarity with the mechanism of
banking is indispensable. Oar best examiners are those in the prime
of life, who work with energy and fidelity, hoping to demonstrate their
ability and worth, thereby securing for themselves a desirable and
permanent position in some good bank. This incentive and this ambition insures the best work. As a body they are competent, conscientious, painstaking, and fearless in. the discharge of their duties. They
enjoy the full confidence of the Comptroller, and constitute his main
reliance in all matters of discipline, and hence it is the purpose of this
office to insist upon the highest standard of efficiency.
A bank-examiner may own property and have interests that require
the usual banking facilities, and be entitled to such accommodation as
he would receive were he not an examiner. But unsecured, loans to an
examiner, which, but for his position, would likely be refused, are wrong
and destroy confidence in his work. No relation should exist that
would tend to restrain an examiner's freedom in making criticisms or
impair the force of his criticism when made. But criticism does not
necessarily mean pointing out wrongdoing. It means the comment
which an expert business man would naturally make upon the business
under review. An examiner's work is not espionage. The national
banks are the backbone of the financial system of the country, the
conservators of public credit, officered by men of the highest integrity,
who are striving to earn dividends for their shareholders by fostering



44

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

and building up the business of their clients as well as their banks.
The exceptions to such honorable conduct only prove the rule. Examiners should work with the banks, with a disposition to aid in every
proper way. They should get the confidence of bank officers by demonstrating their entire fitness for the work intrusted to them.
While this Bureau accepts any system of doing business which is
accurate and proves; still examiners, with their facilities for observation, should note the best methods and be able to render valuable aid
by suggesting improvements. While the subject of credits is to be
delicately treated, the knowledge an examiner acquires will enable him
to make valuable suggestions on this subject. The banks pay for the
examiner's services and are entitled to his good offices. The best service an examiner can render a bank, as well as this Bureau, is by doing
thorough and painstaking work. He should obtain possession of the
bank's assets and retain the same until his work is completed. In the
smaller banks the securities, loans, and discounts should be placed in
front of the examiner when he commences on the cash. In the larger
banks, where more than one day is required to complete the work, he
should obtain and keep possession of the assets by means of keys or
seals. He should know that no change is made in the assets, except
in the regular course of business. Nothing should be done on the installment plan. Instead of objecting to this, the better the bank the
more acceptable will it prove.
It is a satisfaction to a bank to have a competent examiner in absolute possession of their assets until the same are proven and he is
able to assure them that the items for which their books call are all
there. An inventory is the foundation of all examinations. All the
items of assets are aggregated under their appropriate' bookkeeping
heads to prove the asset side of the bank. This is but half the work.
Every item of liability should be inventoried and aggregated to prove
the liability side. Every individual and every bank balance should be
taken off and every liability account proved. An examination that
does not include this is imperfect. Experience shows that defalcations
are oftenest hidden in the liability side of the bank.
Examiners are given detailed instructions, which, if fully complied
with, would render their work very thorough and searching. The
efficiency of the force is constantly improving, and it is alike for the
interest of the banks and this Bureau to have it attain the highest
standard of excellence. This office will be pleased to have the cooperation of and receive suggestions from bank officers upon this subject.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

It is noticeable that the resources of the system were increased nearly
$300,000,000 during the past year notwithstanding the fact that seventy
banks went into voluntary liquidation or became insolvent, such increase being strongly in contrast with that of any previous year
covered by the statement. Proportional increase is common to nearly
all the items, the principal decrease occurring in clearing-house exchanges.
The following table presents an abstract of the resources and liabilities of the national banks at the close of business on September 30,
1892, the condition of the banks in New York City, in the three central
reserve cities, in other reserve cities, and of country banks shown

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

The following statement has been presented for several years, intended to show in a condensed form the principal changes in items of
resources and liabilities of the national banks, comparison being made

$2,792,520,177. The loans and discounts have more than quadrupled,
the number of active banks having increased from 1,582 to 3,773. The
holdings of bonds have decreased from $712,437,900, the maximum, to
$183,439,550, the latter amount representing an increase of $8,532,000
over the preceding year, resulting from accessions of new banks.
The specie held by the banks reached the highest point September
30,1892, and amounted to $209,116,379.
The following statement shows by comparison the percentages of
loans and discounts, United States bonds, and specie to the aggregate
fund of the banks, composed of capital, surplus, undivided profits, circulation, and deposits.
The percentage of circulation to capital, surplus, and undivided
profits has decreased from about 45 per cent in 1866 to 14 per cent in
1892.

CIRCULATING NOTES.

The actual circulation outstanding on September 30, 1892,. for which
the banks were responsible was $147,191,593, this amount being exclusive of $25,595,167 also in circulation but represented by lawful money
deposited by the banks for redemption of notes whenever presented to
the Treasurer of the United States.
The minimum deposit of bonds required of the 3,773 national banks
in operation September 30, 1892, was $107,064,207, upon which only
$96,357,787 of nationa -bank circulation could be issued. These banks
held on September 30, ^163,275,300 of bonds, and were actually responsible for $50,589,983 of circulation more than the minimum. It is not
imperative upon banks to take circulation, and a few do not avail themselves .of the privilege.
Of the 3,773 banks 2,737 have a capital not exceeding $150,000 nor
less than $50,000, which is the lowest amount any bank in the system
have, the aggregate capital amounting to $221,057,830. The reDigitized formay

maining 1,036 have a. capital of over $150,000 each, the aggregate
amounting to $465,515,185. If an amount of bonds equal to the total
capital were deposited to secure circulation the whole body of banks
might havfc a circulation amounting to $617,915,714, or $521,557,927
more than the present minimum. A table in the Appendix, page 148,
shows by States and geographical divisions this information in detail.
In preceding reports a table was presented showing what advantage
was taken by newly organized banks of the provisions of section 8 of
the act of July 12, 1882, fixing a minimum requirement with respect to
the amount of bonds to be deposited. The percentage of excess is now
so small that a perpetuation of the table does not seem necessary.
During the year ended June 30, 1892, 177 banks were organized and
commenced business; 106 having a capital of $50,000 each, aggregating $5,300,000; 55 with a capital of over $50,000 and not exceeding
$150,000, aggregating $5,430,000; and 16 with an aggregate capital of
$5,150,000. Only 4 of the 161 banks with a capital of $150,000 or under
deposited bonds in excess of the requirement. The 16 banks with a
capital of over $150,000 each, deposited the exact amount of bonds required.
The following table shows by comparison for nine years the amounts
of lawful money deposited and the consequent decrease or increase of
circulation:

REPOKT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
INVESTMENT VALUE OF UNITED STATES BONDS.

The investment value of United States bonds increases as the relative market price declines, and the following statement, also prepared
by the actuary of the Treasury, exhibits the fluctuations in price and
investment value of the 4 per cents from 1885 to 1892 inclusive. A
comparison will show the exact increase or decrease in investment
value for each quarterly period. The Government was not a purchaser
of bonds during the year, but of $4,601,500 of 4J per cents, which were
outstanding on November 1,1891, and on which interest had ceased at
date of maturity, all but $983,800 were presented for redemption. All
of this class of bonds which were held by the national banks as security
for their circulation have been withdrawn. The total withdrawals from
the three classes of bonds available as security for circulation during
the year were $4,387,600. Of this amount $807,950 was deposited in
substitution. Table on page 52 shows the net increase of bonds deposited during the year.

The apparent discrepancy in the amount of circulating notes outstanding October 31, which will appear when the several statements in
this report are compared, is explained as follows:
In the table on this page notes of national gold banks amounting to
$104,952 are not included, and the table on page 51 includes $263,263,
representing notes of other banks redeemed and destroyed, to be reissued.
The total issues of incomplete currency during the year are shown by
the vault account, as follows:

Of the total circulation issued as shown by the foregoing table,
$2,867,620 were issued to banks organized during the year or just prior
to November 1, 1891, and $10,856,244 to other banks which deposited
bonds for the purpose of increasing their circulation. The provisions
of law relating to the redemption of national-bank circulation remain
as heretofore, a redemption fund of 5 per cent on the total circulation
being maintained with the Treasurer of the United States, and a pro
rata annual assessment paid as the cost of redemption, amounting to
$1,464 on each $1,000 during the year ended June 30, 1892.
During the past year the receipts of the National-bank Eedemption
Agency amounted to $70,434,334, of which amount $31,218,977, or 44
per cent, was received from New York City. The amount received
from Boston was $8,475,354; from Philadelphia, $5,053,891,- from Chicago, $5,052,376; from Cincinnati, $2,138,337; from Baltimore,
$2,100,453; from St. Louis, $1,224,285; from New Orleans, $936,217;
from Providence, $924,501; and from Pittsburg, $495,629.
Of the total amount received during the year, notes representing
$18,583,320 were fit for circulation and returned to the banks originally
issuing them.
The following table exhibits the amount of national-bank notes received monthly for redemption by the Comptroller of the Currency during the year ended October 31, 1892, and the amount received during

LIQUIDATION, AND OF FAILED BANKS, UNDER THK ACT OF JUNE 20, 1874, AND OF
BANKS THE CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF WHICH HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNDER THE
ACT OF JULY 12, 1882.

No change has occurred in the provisions of law with respect to a
reduction of the outstanding circulation of an association upon the
deposit of lawful money with the Treasurer of the United States in a
sum not less than $9,000, nor in the provisions of the act of July 12,
1882, requiring a deposit of lawful money for the retirement of the old
circulation of such banks within a period of three years. Under these
provisions of law $458,024,277 of lawful money has been deposited with
the Treasurer on account of liquidating and insolvent banks, including
$2,663,720 deposited for the redemption of notes of national gold banks
and $97,714,449 for the redemption of national-bank notes under the
act of July 12,1882. Durin g the year ended October 31,1892, $1,063,300
in lawful money was deposited by banks reducing circulation, $1,341,880
by banks in voluntary liquidation, $12,328 by extended banks retiring
old circulation, and $761,820 on account of insolvent banks, making a
total of $3,179,328.
The total amount deposited prior to and under the acts of June 20,
1874, and July 12, 1882, is $472,269,087, and of this $73,792,900 was
deposited by banks in liquidation. Deducting the amount of circulating
notes redeemed and destroyed without reissue, which was $447,078,004,
from the total deposit, there remained in the hands of the Treasurer,
on October 31,1892, $25,191,083 in lawful money for the redemption
and retirement of national-bank circulation, including $104,952 for the
redemption of outstanding circulating notes of national gold banks.
Prior to June 20, 1874, $10,431,135 of national-bank notes were redeemed and destroyed without reissue, and $436,646,869 have been so
retired since that date. In the latter amount are included $2,558,768 of
the notes of national gold banks and $82,081,203 of notes of associations
which extended their corporate existence.

to any national-banking association, the national gold banks either
availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to convert or passed
out of existence. As stated elsewhere, there still remains on deposit
with the Treasurer of the United States in lawful money $104,952 for
the redemption of notes issued by national gold banks which are still
outstanding.
TAX UPON CIRCULATION, REDEMPTION CHARGES, AND ASSESSMENTS.

ftb change has occurred in the provisions of law requiring national
banks to pay a semi annual duty of one-half of 1 per cent upon the
average amount of their notes in circulation, and expenses incident to
the redemption of such notes annually determined by the Treasurer of
the United States, and a pro rata assessment levied upon the banks,
based upon the exact status of each with respect to the amount redeemed.
The banks pay the fees allowed to national-bank examiners, as ascertained under the law, by means of drafts forwarded to the Comptroller,
who in turn remits the proceeds to the examiners as their reports are
received and accounts rendered. The amounts collected from the banks
during the fiscal year from these sources and for the expense connected
with the preparation of plates for circulation were as follows:

CAUSES OF FAILURE.

The doors of the Maverick National Bank of Boston, Mass., were
closed on the last day of the report year (October 31, 1891, too late to
be included in the annual report) by the national bank examiner,
acting under instructions from the Comptroller of the Currency. For
some months the condition of the bank had been a source of anxiety to
the Comptroller on account of excessive loans to certain of its directors. The aggravated character of these loans, however, was not revealed to the Comptroller, either through the reports of the examiner
or the attested reports of condition. The bank had a large volume of
business and did a large collection business throughout the country.
Speculative banking and excessive loans to directors for speculative
purposes were the causes of failure. Conservatively managed, its volume of business and good will would have possessed very great value.
Its assets were easily convertible. The receiver has paid to creditors
85 per cent, and expresses the opinion that an additional dividend will



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

be paid, not exceeding 5 per cent, dependent upon the result of pending* litigation and the amount realized from the assessment upon shareholders. An assessment of 100 per cent has been levied by the Comptroller upon the shareholders of the bank, the amount of collection
appearing in the table on page 224 of the Appendix.
The doors of the Corry National Bank of Corry, Pa.? were closed to
business November 7, 1891. The entire management of the bank had
been practically confided to the president and cashier, whom it appears
were highly respected and enjoyed the full confidence of the community until their disastrous administration of aifairs of the bank became known. A good many loans were made in excess of the 10 per
cent limitation. False debits were made to other banks, and a corresponding credit given to certain individuals for the purpose of making a
showing which would justify the payment of dividends to shareholders.
Large rates of interest were paid on certificates of deposit, and the
expenses of the bank were extravagant. A large amount of paper of
bad character had been kept alive by renewals, interest in many cases
being included in the renewals. The discoveries of the examiner, indicating criminal violations of law, were promptly reported to the United
States attorney.
An assessment of 100 per cent has been levied by the Comptroller
upon the shareholders of the bank, the amount of collection appearing
in table on page 224.
Dividends amounting to 50 per cent have been paid to creditors.
The doors of the California National Bank of San Diego, Cal., were
not ox>ened after close of business November 11,1891. The failure was
regarded as a great calamity by the local community, and considerable
effort was made, in which many creditors joined, to accomplish a resumption of business. Under the peculiar circumstances and in view of repeated assertions in communications to the Comptroller from interested
parties that a sufficient cash fund would be made immediately available to restore the impaired capital, as much time was given before the
appointment of a receiver as seemed to be consistent with the Comptroller's discretion under the law. When it became known, ui)on thorough
examination, that the entire capital and surplus of the bank had been
lost and all efforts to resume had proved futile, the president of the
bank, who had personally exerted himself in the interests of resumption of business, committed suicide. The funds of the bank were used
to promote local enterprises of a public character involving large sums
of money, and during a period characterized by a marked increase in
prices and unusual activity in business. Succinctly stated, the president of the bank, in conjunction with one or more directors, at the date
of its organization inaugurated schemes or deals in the interest of
themselves and the local community which involved large sums of money.
The necessary loans were for a time obtained from the Eastern States,
but as these matured and demand for payment was made recourse was
had to this bank. The local boom collapsed before any of these enterprises became paying investments. At length, the extreme danger to
the bank became apparent to the management, and it appears tliat the
president alone was forced to assume the attendant responsibility, and
finally being unable to contend with the reductionin deposits and shrinkage in values suspension became inevitable.
An assessment of 100 per cent has been levied by the Comptroller
upon the shareholders of the bank, the amount of collection appearing
in table on page 224.
Dividends amounting to 30 per cent have been paid to creditors.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

The Cheyenne National Bank of Cheyenne, Wyo., closed its doors to
business November 13, 1891, a run having been caused by the suspension of the California National Bank of San Diego, Cal. A few days
later the cashier committed suicide. The president of the California
National Bank of San Diego was likewise the president of the Cheyenne
National Bank, and the character of management in both cases was
almost identical. The personal presence of the president, his correct
manner of life, and his energetic attention to business are said to have
given him the entire confidence of the community and enabled him to
consummate questionable transactions without suspicion. From the
first, the funds of the bank were diverted to his use. One common
method was to purchase stocks of little or no value, sell them to irresponsible persons, taking notes in payment, which notes he caused to
be discounted by this bank. He borrowed money in the Eastern States
with which to purchase a controlling interest in the stock of the bank,
using this stock as collateral. When demand was made, he would pay
the loans with funds belonging to the bank realized upon accommodation paper obtained from his immediate friends. The cashier became a
large and irresponsible debtor, and together these officers misappropriated an amount equal to the entire capital of the bank. Many bad
loans were made, business was unduly extended^ and the management
was reckless and extravagant.
Dividends amounting to 25 per cent have been paid to creditors.
The doors of the First National Bank of Wilmington, N. C, were
closed by order of the board of directors November 24, 1891. The
reason given to the public was that the capital had been impaired by
heavy losses incurred in previous years, from which the bank could not
recover. No dividends had been paid since 1887. After a thorough
investigation, the receiver reported that the failure was due to bad
loans extending over a number of years, and to peculation and robbery
by the cashier, a fugitive from justice. The directors took no interest
in the management, and the cashier had been given complete control.
A large part of the assets consisted of worthless bills receivable, which
had been carried for a long time by renewal. Excessive loans had also
been made. False entries were made upon the books to conceal the
actual liability from the examiner, and it was found that the cashier
had so manipulated the accounts as to successfully postpone the collapse for a considerable length of time. It now appears that the directors were aware to a certain extent of the condition of the bank,
but relied upon the hope that it would under most favorable circumstances recover. The class of assets relied upon as good at date of
failure amounted to only about 25 per cent of the whole, and the receiver up to date has been unable to collect more than 15 per cent of
the total assets.
An assessment of 100 per cent has been levied by the Comptroller
upon the shareholders of the bank, the amount of collection appearing
in table on page 224.
Dividends amounting to 30 per cent have been paid to the creditors.
The doors of the Huron National Bank of Huron, S. Dak., were
closed to business by the national-bank examiner December 18, 1891.
The examiner found that for some time prior to that date the bank
had been in a crippled condition, but thought, with careful and economical management, the affairs could be placed upon a safe footing.
The shareholders finally voted to go into voluntary liquidation, but
upon the disclosure that a large indebtedness due from the officers and
their friends was not collectible, the Comptroller was compelled under



REPORT OP THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

the law to appoint a receiver. It appears that the local community
lost confidence in the bank from the fact that the management was
supposed to be pecuniarily interested in a very spirited controversy
and rivalry that existed between several cities over the location of the
capital of the State, and this with other causes tended to make the
business of the bank unprofitable. The farming interests in the surrounding country were largely indebted to the bank, and the continued crop failures made the loans almost worthless. It did not appear
that there had been criminal violations of law, but it did appear that
the suspension was due to bad loans and unreinunerative business,
which had been unduly extended.
The doors of the First National Bank of Muncy, Pa., were closed to
business January 11, 1892, by a national-bank examiner who had for
sometime been in attendance for the purpose of ascertaining the exact
condition as to solvency. Criminal violations of law were apparent,
and prompt communication was had with the United States attorney.
There appeared to be a large shortage in cash as represented by the
books of the bank. On the day upon which the examiner closed its
doors, the want of public confidence was manifested by a slight run.
The causes of failure may be stated as reckless management, incorrect
bookkeeping, declaration of dividends that had not been earned, failure
to charge off bad debts, and a persistent practice of allowing overdrafts
in large amounts.
Had the management of the bank been good and efficient, the appointment of a receiver would have been unnecessary and the bank
might have been put in a sound condition by levying an assessment to
make good the impairment of capital.
No assessment was levied upon the shareholders as the assets of the
bank were sufficient to pay creditors in full. The remaining assets
have been turned over to an agent selected by the shareholders and
the trust closed, principal and interest having been paid in full on all
proved claims.
The doors of the First National Bank of Downs, Kans., were closed
January 23, 1892, by the national-bank examiner, upon discovering
that the bank was insolvent. Bad management, frequent irregularities, and indications of collusion to violate the law were apparent, and
the information was promptly reported to the United States attorney
for that district. On or about the date of organization the assets of
another bank were purchased, a considerable portion of which proved
to be worthless; accommodation notes were taken to cover up large
loans to certain individuals, the paper representing the actual loans
being held as collateral. The management was extravagant and the
cashier was reckless, his personal reputation being such as not to inspire confidence. Before the doors were closed an effort was made by
some of the shareholders to change the management and restore the
capital by voluntary assessment, but a large part of the stock being
held by nonresidents the attempt was unsuccessful and suspension became inevitable.
A dividend of 25 per cent has been declared to creditors.
The Bell County National Bank of Temple, Tex., was closed by the
national-bank examiner January 30, 1892. The causes necessitating
this action were numerous; bad and excessive loans, violations of
correct business principles, and the indifference of the directors, permitting the president and cashier to dominate the board, made it comparatively easy to wreck the bank. These officers permitted no interference, and would not allow a duly appointed finance committee to



70

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

perform its duty. Many of the shareholders were nonresidents and
gave their proxies to the president and cashier, who were thus able to
elect such directors as they chose. By means of this power the board
was reduced in number in order to dispose of a few directors who insisted upon a knowledge of the condition of the bank or were desirous
of performing their whole duty. The personal extravagance indulged
in by the officers resulted in the discounting of worthless paper prepared for the purpose, the borrowing of money from other banks at high
rates of interest, the general welfare of the bank being wholly disregarded. Soon after the receiver took charge, these officers were arrested for violations of law and bound over for trial. The most culpable management was apparent, false entries in the books had been
made to conceal misappropriations, and forgery had been resorted to.
Dividends amounting to 30 per cent have been paid to creditors.
The doors of the First National Bank of Silver City and the First National Bank of Deming, N. Mex., were closed to business on February
4,1892. The same person was president of both banks and represented
the entire management, the boards of directors practically exercising
no control. For several years he had borrowed the funds of the banks
on notes of his own and worthless accommodation paper made by relatives, friends, and clerks, until more than the combined capital of the
banks had been obtained for investment in speculative enterprises, such
as wild lands, cattle ranches, prospective railroad construction, etc.
Fraudulent entries were made on the books and dividends not earned
regularly paid to the shareholders, who being mostly nonresidents took
no other interest in the management. Charges of embezzlement and
misappropriation of funds were promptly placed in the hands of the
United States attorney.
An assessment of 82 per cent has been levied upon the shareholders
of the First National Bank of Deming. Dividends amounting to 25
per cent have been paid to creditors of that bank, and 20 per cent to
the creditors of the First National Bank of Silver City.
The doors of the Lima National Bank of Lima, Ohio, were closed to
business March 1, 1892. From the date of its organization the management of the bank continuously provoked criticism by the Comptroller of the Currency for apparent violations of the restrictive provisions
of the law. The president, possessing considerable wealth and business sagacity, was the principal promoter of a number of local and foreign enterprises, and diverted the funds of the bank to his individual
uses. At times he would crowd paper, based on these outside schemes,
into the bank to the almost entire exclusion of other and legitimate
loans. Accommodation notes of clerks and other employes were resorted to, until the president's methods became a matter of public notoriety. The depositors necessarily lost confidence, and deposits were
withdrawn to such an extent as to force the bank to rediscount all its
good paper. When this crisis was reached an attempt was made to
place the bank in voluntary liquidation, but failed because it was impossible at the time to realize from the assets the necessary funds for
the prompt payment of creditors. A sharp run, which exhausted nearly
all the cash on hand, precipitated its closing.
Dividends amounting to 50 per cent have been paid to creditors.
The doors of the Cherryvale National Bank of Cherryvale, Kans.,
were closed June 10, 1892, by a national-bank examiner acting under
instructions from the Comptroller of the Currency. For some time the
management of the bank had subjected it to criticism, and upon an examination made in December, 1891, its condition was unsatisfactory and
the capital was found to have become impaired. An assessment was



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

71

ordered by the Comptroller, the management taking exception, insisting that there was no impairment and requesting a reexarnination.
The request was granted, but the result still showing an impaired capital, the Comptroller insisted upon the payment of the assessment, and
shortly after the cashier made oath that it had been fully paid. A
subsequent examination disclosed the fact that the assessment had not,
in fact, been paid, whereupon the examiner was instructed to take
charge. The condition of the bank was mainly due to the reckless management of the president, who for his own use discounted worthless
accommodation notes. A strenuous effort was made to prevent a receivership by inducing creditors to accept obligations other than cash for
their claims. Inasmuch as the assets of the bank were not sufficient
to even permit of voluntary liquidation, no proposition other than immediate payment of creditors in full could be entertained. The president and cashier were afterwards arrested for embezzlement, perjury,
and false entries in the books, and bound over for trial.
The doors of the First National Bank of Eockwall, Tex., were closed
by the national-bank examiner June 11,1892. A former president of
the bank, who was the original promoter, was engaged in wild speculations during his incumbency, and through loans to men of straw, for his
own use, absorbed the capital and earnings of the bank. Haying accomplished this result, he sought other fields of operation, leaving the
bank in such a crippled condition that a new management found it impossible to place it on a solvent footing. The amount of deposits had
become insignificant, being at date of closing only $6,000, so that current business could not support the bank.
The doors of the National Bank of Guthrie, Territory of Oklahoma, were closed by its officers June 13, 1892. Certain information having cOrne to the knowledge of the Comptroller, a national-bank
examiner had been directed to make an examination. He arrived on
the day the bank suspended business, and found that a receiver had
been appointed by a Territorial court. It was claimed that creditors
had been paid in full, and therefore the Comptroller had no jurisdiction. It appeared that a receiver had been appointed by the court
upon a petition presented in the supposed interest of some of the
shareholders who were friendly to the management. The Comptroller
appointed a receiver, and a demand for possession of the records and
assets of the bank was made and refused. The court maintained that
it had jurisdiction in the matter, and up to this time the Comptroller
has been unable to place a receiver in charge.
The doors of the First National Bank of Erie, Kans., were closed to
business June 25, 1892. The failure was due to the payment of exorbitant rates of interest on deposits, and the injudicious manner in which
funds of the bank were loaned to officers and directors, who were large
borrowers at a lower rate of interest than the bank itself paid for rediscounts. The immediate cause of failure was the large loss on these loans
which had been made without proper security. It was developed that
the stock held by the officers had been purchased with borrowed money,
the stock being pledged as collateral, and that their financial resources
had always been very limited.
On July 5, 1892, the president of the Yincennes National Bank of
Yincennes, Ind., committed suicide. The bank had become insolvent.
A national-bank examiner was immediately directed to take charge of
affairs and closed the bank on the morning of July 7. For some years
prior to insolvency a former president and large shareholder of the
bank was connected with firms engaged in grain speculations, and it
Digitized forappears
FRASER that his successor, the late president, was connected with him


72

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

in similar speculation. Correspondence was found which connected
the president with heavy losses, and it would appear that the cause of
failure was his connection with board of trade speculations. Various
means were resorted to in using bank funds and considerable ingenuity was exercised in covering up shortages. Successful attempts
were made to deceive the national-bank examiner, and it is stated to
the Comptroller that there was a systematic misappropriation of funds,
which was acquiesced in, or known, to some extent by other officers and
employes of the bank. In addition to this, large loans were made without proper security and in violation of law. The bank at one time purchased a large block of its own stock, paying a high premium therefor.
An administrator was promptly appointed for the estate of the late
president, who immediately offered restitution to the fullest possible
extent, it being his desire to make as full a settlement as practicable,
without reserve and without litigation.
A dividend amounting to 30 per cent has been paid to creditors.
The affairs of eight national banks have been closed during the past
year and final dividends have been paid to their creditors.

Out of 4,811 national banks organized since February, 1863, 181, or
about-3.76 per cent, have been placed in the hands of receivers. This
includes 9 which had previously been placed in liquidation by the
shareholders, but upon their failing to pay depositors the Comptroller
appointed receivers to wind up their affairs. Of the 181 failed banks
38 have paid creditors in full, principal and interest; 6 have paid principal and a part of the interest, and 13 have paid the principal only.
The affairs of 110 of the 181 banks have been finally closed, leaving 70
in process of settlement, of which 16 are virtually closed, with the exception of pending litigation, leaving 54 receiverships in active operation. In one case the receiver was withdrawn and the bank permitted
to resume business.
The total amount so far paid to creditors of insolvent national banks
has been $48,052,938 upon proved claims, amounting to $70,830,366.
The amount paid during the year has been $8,103,498, besides $1,320,317
paid for dividends declared prior to November 1,1892, on claims proved
since that date. Assessments amounting to $17,925,850 have been
made upon shareholders of insolvent national banks under section 5151
of the Eevised Statutes of the United States. From this source the
gross collections amount to $7,623,760, of which there has been received
during the past year $1,002,351. Suits are pending in some cases.
In the Appendix, p. 214, a table will be found showing, under various heads, amounts collected from the assets of each of the 181 insolvent national banks, the amounts disbursed, and the purpose. All
moneys and assets are accounted for, and the figures supply all information necessary to the ascertainment of percentages and lt>ss.

INACTIVE RECEIVERSHIPS.

Sixteen banks remain in the hands of receivers, the affairs of which
are practically wound up, and the trusts are kept on the inactive list
because of pending litigation or of the possession of assets, an immediate disposition of which would entail unnecessary sacrifice. The expenses of a trust in this condition are nominal and limited to what is
actually necessary to proper and careful attention to the matters in abeyance. Titles to property pass through a receiver and the courts, but
final dividends are sometimes paid from the office of the Comptroller,
especially in the event of a considerable lapse of time after a receiver
has realized upon all available assets.
By comparison with the report of 1891 it will be observed that only two
of the banks then reported on the inactive list have been stricken out. In
two other cases the receiverships will be terminated within thirty days.
It is expected that the unsettled affairs of other banks in the list will

be disposed of witliin the next year and the receiverships formally terminated.

LEGISLATION.

During the past year provision was made by Congress, in an act approved May 12, that any national bank located in the city of Chicago
and State of Illinois might be designated by the World's Columbian
Exposition to conduct a banking office upon the Exposition grounds,
such designation to be approved by the Comptroller of the Currency,
and the branch bank to be subject to the same restrictions and to have
the same rights as the bank to which it belongs. The Chemical
National Bank of Chicago was designated October 18, 1892. The text
of the act is as follows:
That any national bank located in the city of Chicago and State of Illinois may be
designated by the World's Columbian Exposition to conduct a banking office upon
the Exposition grounds, and upon such designation being approved by the Comptroller of the Currency, said bank is hereby authorized to open and conduct such
office as a branch of the bank, subject to the same restrictions and having the same
rights as the bank to which it belongs: Provided, That the branch office authorized
hereby shall not be operated for a longer period than two years, beginning not earlier
than July first, eighteen hundred and ninety-two, and closing not later than July
first, eighteen hundred and ninety-four.




* Sixty of these have been reorganized.

76

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

Under the act approved July 28, provision was made for the redemption of certain national-bank notes which had been issued to, or received by, any national bank, but were either lost or stolen from the
bank and put in circulation without signature by the officers or upon
forged signatures. The text of the act is as follows:
That the provisions of the Revised Statutes of the United States, providing for the
redemption of national-bank notes, shall apply to all national-bank notes that have
been or may be issued to, or received by, any national bank, notwithstanding such
notes may have been lost by or stolen from the bank and put in circulation without
the signature or upon the forged signature of the president or vice-president and
cashier.

In the Comptroller's report for 1890 comments were made upon the
provisions of section 3 of the act approved June 30, 1876, affecting the
rights of shareholders of an insolvent national bank after creditors had
been paid in full, principal and interest, under a receivership. In a
few cases shareholders had declined to elect an agent, and there seemed
to be no means for distributing cash on deposit with the Treasurer of
the United States for the benefit of the trust among shareholders by
the payment of dividends. There were othfer difficulties in the application of the law with respect to title to real property passing through
an agent, legal questions arising which provoked litigation. The
amendment, which is in fact in full substitution of the entire section
referred to, is as follows:
That section three of an act entitled "An act authorizing the appointment of receivers of national banks, and for other purposes, approved June thirtieth, eighteen
hundred and seventy-six," is hereby amended so as to read as follows:
" SEC. 3. That whenever any association shall have been or shall be placed in the
hands of a receiver, as provided in section fifty-two hundred and thirty-four and
other sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States, and when, as provided
in section fifty-two hundred and thirty-six thereof, the Comptroller of the Currency
shall have paid to each and every creditor of such association, not including shareholders, who are creditors of such association, whose claim or claims as such creditor
shall have been proved or allowed as therein prescribed, the full amount of such
claims, and all expenses of the receivership and the redemption of the circulating
notes of such association shall have been provided for by depositing lawful money
of the United States with the Treasurer of the United States, the Comptroller of the
Currency shall call a meeting of the shareholders of such association by giving notice
thereof for thirty days in a newspaper published in the town, city, or county where
the business of such association was carried on, or if no newspaper is there published, in the newspaper published nearest thereto. At such meeting the shareholders shall determine whether the receiver shall be continued and shall wind up
the affairs of such association, or whether an agent shall be elected for that purpose,
and in so determining the said shareholders shall vote by ballot in person or by
proxy, each share of stock entitling the holder to one vote and the majority of the
stock in value and number of shares shall be necessary to determine whether the
said receiver shall be continued or whether an agent shall be elected. In case
such majority shall determine that the said receiver shall be continued, the
said receiver shall thereupon proceed with the execution of his trust and shall
sell, dispose of, or otherwise collect the assets of the said association, and shall
possess all the powers and authority, and be subject to all the duties and
liabilities originally conferred or imposed upon him by his appointment as
such receiver, so far as the same remain applicable. In case the said meeting shall
by the vote of the majority of the stock, in value and number of shares, determine
that an agent shall be elected, the said meeting shall thereupon proceed to elect an
agent, voting by ballot, in person or by proxy, each share of stock entitling the
holder to one vote, and the person who shall receive votes representing at least a
majority of stock in value and number shall be declared the agent for the purposes hereinafter provided, and whenever any of the shareholders of the association
shall, after the election of such agent, have executed and filed a bond to the satisfaction of the Comptroller of the Currency, conditioned for the payment and discharge in full of each and every claim that may thereafter be proved and allowed by
and before a competent court, and for the faithful performance of all and singular
the duties of such trust, the Comptroller and the receiver shall thereupon transfer and
deliver to such agent all the undivided or uncollected or other assets of such associa

tion then remaining in the hands or subject to the order and control of said Comptroller and said receiver, or either of them; and for this purpose said Comptroller
and said receiver are hereby severally empowered and directed to execute any
deed, assignment, transfer, or other instrument in writing that may be necessary and proper, and upon the execution and delivery of such instrument to the said
agent the said Comptroller and the said receiver shall by virtue of this act be discharged from any and all liabilities to such association, and to each and all the
creditors and shareholders thereof. Upon receiving such deed, assignment, transfer,
or other instrument; the person elected such agent shall hold, control, and dispose of
the assets and property of such association which he may receive under the terms
hereof, for the benefit of the shareholders of such association, and he may in his own
name, or in the name of such association, sue and be sued, and do all other lawful
acts and things necessary to finally settle and distribute the assets and property in
his hands, and may sell, compromise, or compound the debts due to such association,
with the consent and approval of the circuit or district court of the United States
for the district where the business of such association was carried on, and shall at
the conclusion of his trust render to such district or circuit court a full account of all
his proceedings, receipts, and expenditures as such agent, which court shall, upon
due notice, settle and adjust such accounts and discharge said agent and the sureties
upon said bond. At such meeting, held iis hereinbefore provided, administrators or
executors of deceased shareholders may act and sign as the decedent might have done
if living, and guardians of minors and trustees of other persons may so act and sign
for their ward or wards or cestui que trust. The proceeds of the assets or property of
any such association which may be undistributed at the time of such meeting or may
be subsequently received shall be distributed as follows:
"First. To pay the expenses of the execution of the trust to the date of such payment.
" Second. To repay any amount or amounts which have been paid in by any shareholder or shareholders of such association upon and by reason of any and all assessments made upon the stock of such association by the order of the Comptroller of the
Currency in accordance with the provisions of the statutes of the United States;
and
" Third. The balance ratably among such stockholders in proportion to the number
of shares held and owned by each. Such distribution shall be made, from time to
time, as the proceeds shall be received and as shall be deemed advisable by the said
Comptroller or said agent."
LEGAL DECISIONS.

A digest of prominent national-bank cases up to date will be found
in the Appendix, p. 95. This digest has become necessary in view of
considerable inquiry by the general public, and it affords a convenient
and ready source of reference to every national bank. It is not practicable to include the syllabus of every decision affecting a national bank,
and generally those which are not an exposition of United States statutes are excluded. Much interest has been evinced during the past
few years by bank officials and the general public as to the duty of
directors, and the Supreme Court of the United States recently determined that the directors of a national bank must exercise ordinary care
and prudence in the administration of the affairs of the bank, and this
includes something more than officiating as figureheads; that they are
entitled under the law to commit the banking business as defined to the
duly authorized officers, but are not absolved from the duty of reasonable supervision, nor permitted to be shielded from liability because of
want of knowledge of wrongdoing, if that ignorance is the result of
gross inattention.
CLEARING-HOUSE ASSOCIATIONS.

In our smaller cities it is the custom of banks to send all claims
against other banks in the same place by runners or messengers to
such banks for payment. In such manner are their exchanges consummated, and in such cases the payment of these claims represents a



78

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

money transaction. In our larger cities, in order to save time and labor
and avoid the risk attendant upon the transporting of money about the
streets, and minimize the amount of actual money required to adjust
its exchanges, clearing-house associations have been established,
wherein each bank is credited with what claims it has against the
other members of the association, and debited with the amount that
each of the other members of the association hold against it. The balance only is paid or received in money. Thus each bank adjusts its
day's exchanges, as though all transactions were with one bank instead of with many banks which constitute the other members of the
association.
The total clearing-house transactions in the fifty-seven clearing-house
associations in the United States for the past year aggregate the enormous sum of $61,017,839,067, and this great volume of business was
transacted by the use of only about 8 per cent in currency or money.
These clearing-house transactions have such a direct and important bearing upon the currency of the country that a report upon the currency would
be incomplete that did not include the history of the clearing-house
transactions for a year. For that reason the following tables, giving
full information upon the subject, are submitted.
TRANSACTIONS OF THE NEW YORK AND OTHER
ASSOCIATIONS.

CLEARING-HOUSE

The present membership of the New York Clearing-House Association comprises 46 national banks, 18 State banks, and the subtreasury
at New York, 65 members in all. There are 48 national and 46 State
banks in New York City, and 2 national and 28 State banks not being
members, clear through other banks which are members of the association.
The following information with respect to the operations of the clearing-house associations in the United States has been kindly furnished,

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OP THE CURRENCY.

In 1891 there was a notable decrease in the volume of exchanges,
amounting to over $3,000,000. The year 1892 being placed in comparison, there has been an increase of over $3,800,000.
CLEARING HOUSE OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

There was organized on the 17th day of May, 1892, a Stock Clearing
House Association in the city of New York, which has since been in
very successful operation. The object of this association was to avoid
the personal delivery of stocks and enable each broker to adjust his
deliveries and receipts of stocks in precisely the same manner as he
would do were all his transactions of a day with a single broker, instead
of the various brokers belonging to the association. The principle is the
same as that which controls the bank clearing house, and the saving
in time, labor, risk, and use of money or certified checks is equally as
great.
The following statement shows the transactions from date of organization to October 31:

The practical good accomplished by this exchange is very apparent
and the wisdom of its establishment can not be too highly commended.
When perfected and extended so as to clear all stocks dealt in upon
the exchanges it will practically do away with the evil of overcertification of checks. During, the brief period of its existence it is estimated
that it has reduced bank clearing house transactions $1,643,000,000
and avoided certification of checks to that amount.
SAVINGS BANKS AND LOAN AND TRUST COMPANIES OF THE DISTRICT
OF COLUMBIA.

By act of Congress certain financial institutions, other than national banks, doing business in the District of Columbia, are placed
under the supervision of theJComptroller of the Currency, report to him,
and are examined precisely the same as national banks. These consist
of The National Savings Bank, The National Safe Deposit,Savings and
Trust Company, The Washington Loan and Trust Company, and The
American Security and Trust Company. A detailed report of their
condition on the 30th day of September, 1892, will be found in the Appendix.
STATE, SAVINGS, PRIVATE BANKS, LOAN AND TRUST COMPANIES.

Conforming to the provision of law that devolves upon the Comptroller of the Currency the duty of obtaining and publishing in his
annual report to Congress statements showing the condition of banks
and banking institutions incorporated under State authority, the desired information has been procured, through the courtesy of public
officials, in all but nineteen States and Territories. Of the States from
which no official returns have been received two are located in the



84

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

Middle, eight in the Southern, and nine in the Pacific and Territorial
geographical divisions. To statements received from official sources
have been added like information received directly by this Bureau
from incorporated and private banks and bankers, located in States in
which there are no provisions of law requiring such information to be
reported to the State authorities. Over 6,000 such banks and bankers
have been called upon to furnish statements for this report.
The number of incorporated banks in existence on June 30,1892, was
4,668. The number of banks, statements of whose condition have been
received by this Bureau, either directly or by means of their official
reports to their respective State governments, showing their condition on or about the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, last, is
4,418, or over 94 per cent of all engaged in business at that time. The
increase this year over last in number of reporting banks is 664, the
material increase being accounted for, partially, by the fact that in one
State (Nebraska) the banking department, in its abstract, included
private with incorporated banks.
Statements showing the condition of 5,579 incorporated and private
banks have been received, the aggregate resources amounting to
$3,751,649,173. The principal items of assets are $828,739,486 loans on
real estate; $388,749,959 loans on collateral security other than real
estate; $984,274,847 other loans and discounts; $154,025,395 United
States bonds; $403,224,457 State, county, and municipal bonds;
$379,077,437 railroad, bank, and other stocks and bonds; $261,278,559
due from banks and bankers; $97,070,359 real estate, etc.; $197,789,384
cash and cash items. The aggregate capital employed amounts to
$386,394,845; surplus and undivided profits, $323,715,176; deposits,
$2,911,594,571. . Of the 6,579 reports 3,191 are made by State banks,
having an aggregate capital of $233,751,171; surplus and undivided
profits $90,358,180; deposits, $648,513,809. The resources of 168 reporting loan and trust companies are $600,244,908; the capital
$80,645,972; surplus and undivided profits $61,768,148, and deposits
$411,659,996.
The condition of the savings banks of the country is* of special interest owing to the enormous volume of funds in their custody, and to the
farther fact that these funds are largely the savings of people of linn
ited means. Eeports have been received from 1,059 savings institutions, including 416 stock sayings banks, which associations do both a
commercial and savings business. Of this number 643 are conducted,
presumedly, in the sole interest of the depositors, and are classified as
mutual savings banks. The resources of the latter class amount to
$1,605,415,679, being nearly 82 per cent of the total assets of both
classes. An examination of the abstract of the reports of these banks
shows that of this class 450 are located in the Eastern, 181 in the Middle, 1 in the Southern, and 11 in the Western geographical divisions.
A noticeable feature in this connection is the approximately uniform
average deposit, in thesebanks,intheEastern,Mid die, and Western divisions, being $356.87, $352.28, and $376.58 respectively and the average in
all such banksbeing $356.65. It is also noteworthy that while the entire
deposits in mutual institutions are savings accounts, but 82 pAr cent
of the deposits in stock savings banks, as shown by the reports, are of
that class, and the actual percentage is undoubtedly much less, for thereason that in a number of States, notably Vermont, Iowa, and California,
no classification of deposits is made, although accounts of a commercial
nature are taken. The average rate of interest paid or credited to depositors in mutual savings banks appears to be about 4 per cent; simi

lar information is not at command, in respect to stock savings associations, to enable even an estimate to be made, although it would seem
that the rate is slightly in excess of that paid by the former class*
Stock savings banks, with the exception of 15 in the Eastern and 15 in
the Middle States, are located in the Southern, Western, and Pacific
States and Territories.
The aggregate resources of all savings banks amount to $1,964,044,861,
of which loans on real estate amount to $714,832,576; loans on collateral
security other than real estate, $79,173,174 and other loans and discounts, $229,711,725. The following figures represent their investments
in bonds, stocks, etc.: In United States bonds, $133,344,199; State,
county and municipal bonds, $393,190,240; in all other bonds and stocks,
$246,001,306. The amount invested in real estate is $33,097,998 and the
funds deposited in other banks and cash on hand, $81,576,253 and
$33,208,271 respectively. Of the liabilities of these 1,059 institutions,
$37,407,475 represents their capital, $132,880,724 surplus, $27,448,960
other undivided profits, $1,712,769,026 savings deposits and $45,560,592
other deposits,
Of the 5,579 reports of condition received by this Bureau 1,161 were from
private banks and bankers having an aggregate capital of $34,590,227
surplus and undivided profits $11,259,164, deposits $93,091,148.

CONCLUSION.

Prior to the passage of the free-banking act a deep-rooted prejudice
obtained against national banks as monopolies. They were believed to
possess special privileges inimical to the interests of the general public. The act of January 14, 1875, removed all restrictions and extended the powers and privileges of a national bank to any five reputable men who might choose to organize such an institution, thus removing all proper ground of criticism.
All prejudices are long lived, but the one against national banks has
possessed unusual vitality. There are many strong and excellently
well managed State banks. Some of our States have good banking
laws, well enforced, with competent and effective supervision. It is
undeniable, however, that away from its immediate locality, a national
bank enjoys greater prestige than a State institution. The system
lends a credit and standing to its individual members. The actual
advantage which national banks possess have won favor, and the
prejudice once so strong, has yielded and is fast disappearing before
the commercial advantages which the system affords. The large percentage of increase in national banks formed is found in sections where
the prejudice was once strongest. It is very gratifying to note this.
There is no possible conflict of interests between the national system



90

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

and State systems of banking. National banks do a purely commercial
business. The various other banking functions are performed by State
institutions, and the different boards of direction are so interwoven as
to indicate the utmost harmony between State and national institutions.
More liberal provisions of law as to circulation or a reduction of the
amount of United States bonds which national banks are compelled to
own, would result in largely increasing the number of banks. As it is,
each year marks a steady growth in number and in public confidence
in the system. They have given the country the best currency and the
best commercial service it has ever had, and the good solid business
sense of the country can be relied upon to protect and preserve the
system.
The work of the Bureau of the Currency is well systematized and is
performed by a thoroughly competent and well equipped force of employes.
This force consists of ninety employes, the number having diminished
from one hundred and twenty-five in 1876 to ninety at the present time,
notwithstanding the fact that the large increase in the number of associations, under the supervision of the Bureau, has necessarily increased the amount of labor to be performed.
I have found all subordinates competent, courteous, and faithful in
the discharge of their duties, and it is with pleasure that I acknowledge the valuable aid rendered by those charged with the labor of preparing the statistical matter which appears in this report.
In the second volume of this report, comprising over 1,300 pages, will
be found a detailed statement of the condition of all the national
banks, as shown by the report of condition of September 30,1892, arranged by States alphabetically and properly indexed.

I. CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
1. POWERS OF CONGRESS:

(a) Congress has the constitutional power to incorporate banks. (McCulloch v.
Maryland. 4 Wheat., 316; Osborne v. Bank of the United States, 9 Wheat,
738.)
(b) Congress has power to clothe national banking associations, as to their contracts and dealings with the world, with any special immunities and privileges exempting them, in their trade and intercourse with others, from the
laws and remedies applicable in like cases to other citizens. (The Chesapeake Bank v. The First National Bank of Baltimore, 40 Md., 269.)
(c) Thus, the provision of the banking law that no attachment, injunction, or
execution shall issue against a national banking association before final
judgment in any suit, action, or proceeding in a State court is constitutional. (Ibid.)
(d) The tax imposed on State or national banks paying out the notes of individuals or State banks for circulation is constitutional. (Veazie Bank v.
Fenno, 8 Wall., 533.)
(e) So is the tax imposed on them for paying out the circulating notes of municipal corporations. (Merchants' National Bank of Little Book v. United
States, 101 U. S.,1.)
(f) Such a tax is not a direct tax within the meaning of the clause of the Constitution which declares that "direct taxes shall be apportioned among the
several States according to their respective numbers." (Veazie Bank v.
Fenno and Mechanics1 National Bank of Little Bock v. United States, supra.)
(g) Congress having, in the exercise of undisputed constitutional powers, undertaken to provide a currency for the whole country, may secure the benefit of it to the people by appropriate legislation. (Veazie Bank v. Fenno,
supra.)
(h) Congress has the power to divest the United States courts of their jurisdiction of suits by or against national banking associations. (National Bank
of Jefferson v. Fare et al., U. S. C. C. (E. D. Texas), 25 Fed. Bep., 209.)
2. POWERS OF THE STATES:

(a) National banking associations, being instruments designed to aid the Government in the administration of a branch of the public service, can not
be controlled by the States, except 7in so far as Congress may see proper
to permit. (Farmers and Mechanics Bank v. Bearing, 91 U. S., 29.)
(b) No authority from the State is necessary to enable a State bank to conA^ert itself into a national banking association. (Casey v. Galli, 94 U. S.,
673.)
(c) National banking associations located outside of a State are subject to its
restraining acts prohibiting all corporations, not authorized by the law of
the State, from keeping therein offices for the purpose of discount and deposit. (National Bank of Fairhaven v. The Phoenix Warehousing Company.
6 Run, 71.)
(d) It is competent for a State by penal enactments to protect its citizens in
their dealings with national banking associations located within the State.
(State v. Fuller, 34 Conn , 280; see also Taxation and Jurisdiction.)
II. POWERS AND LIABILITIES.
1. IMPLIED POWERS :

To the enumerated powers of national banking associations are to be superadded all the powers incidental to the business of banking. (Pattison v.
Syracuse National Bank, 80 N. Y., 82.)
2. AS TO COLLATERAL SECURITIES :

(a) A national banking association may take stock of a corporation as collateral security for a loan. (Shoemaker v. The National Mechanics7 Bank, 2
Abb. U. S., 416; Canfield v. The Slate National Bank of Minneapolis, U. S.C. C. (Dist. Minn.), Thomp. Nat. Bank Cos., 312.)

9647

98

REPOKT OP THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

2. As TO COLLATERAL SKCIKITIKS—Continued.

(b) And it may take for such |mrposo the stock of another national banking
association. {National J><i/iky. Case, 99 U. S., 628.)
NOTE.—Bnt this point was not necessary to the decision of the case.
(c) A national banking association may take a pledge of personal chattels as
security for a loan. (Piilxhurg Locomotive and Car llorks v. State National
Bank of Keokuk, U. S. 0. C. (Eighth Circuit, 1875), 2 Cent. L. ,/., 692; 1
New York Weekly Digest, 332.)
(d) A national banking association may take as security for a loan the indorsement of a married woman, charging her separate estate. Such security is
to be treated as personal security, within the meaning of the banking law,
and not as a mortgage. (Third National Bank v. Blake, 73 N. Y., 260.)
(e) A national banking association may take as*collateral security for a loan
a warehouse receipt i'or merchandise. (Cleveland, Brown *f Co., v. Shoeman,
40 Ohio St., 176.)
(/) A national banking association may take as security for a loan the stock
of a corporation whose entire capital is vested in real estate. Such a loan
does not amount to a lending upon mortgage. (Baldwin v. Canfield, 26
Minn., 43.)
(g) An agreement by a national banking association to the effect that, in case
a note discounted by it shall not be" paid, a mortgage given by the maker
to his indorser shall inure to the benefit of the association, is not inhibited
by the national banking law. (First National Bank v. Haire, 36 Iowa, 443;
see also National Bank v. Matthews, 98 U. 8., 621.)
(h) A national banking association having taken a mortgage on real estate to
secure a debt previously contracted may. in order to protect itself, pay off
a prior lien on the said real estate;1 and the lien which it thus acquires it
may enforce. (Ornn v. Merchants National Bank, 16 Kans., 341; Holmes v.
Boyd,90Ind.,S32.)
(?) Where a national banking association has taken collaterals to secure a
loan, and, after the loan has been repaid, holds them to secure future advances, it is not a gratuitous bailee; and it is responsible for the loss of
such collaterals occasioned by its lack of ordinary care and diligence,
though at the time the bailor was not indebted to it. ( Third National
Bank of Baltimore v. Boyd, 44 Md., 47.)
o. SPECIAL DEPOSITS:

(a) A national banking association may receive special deposits. The provision in section 5228, Revised
Statutes, authorizing an association "to
deliver special deposits'7 implies that it may receive them as a part of its
legitimate business; and this implication is as effectual as an express
declaration to the same effect would have been. (National Bank v. Graham, 100 U. S., 699.)
(b) National banking associations have power to receive special deposits either
gratuitously or otherwise. (Pattison v. Syracuse National Bank, 80 N. Y., 82.)
(c) But the executive officers of an association can not bind it as a-gratuitous
bailee, unless they have a special authority from the board of directors so
to do, or there exists a general custom or usage to that effect. (First
National Bank of Lyons v. Ocean National Bank, 60 N. Y., 278.)
4. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES:

(a) National banking associations can engage in the business of dealing in and
exchanging Government securities ( Van Leaven v. First National Bank,
54 N. Y., 671; Yerkes v. National Bank of Port Jervis, 69 N. Y., 383; Leach
v. Hale, 31 Iowa, 69.)
(b) And where an association receives United States bonds of one class for the
purpose of having* them converted into bonds of another class, it is not a
mere mandatary, but is responsible for the failure to deliver the bonds on
demand. (Leach v. Hale, supra.)
5. CERTIFIED CHECK:

A national banking association may "certify" a check. A ucertified" check
is not within the meaning of section 5183, Revised Statutes, which prohibits the issuing of post-notes or any notes to circulate as money other
than such as are authorized by the national banking law. (Merchant*'
National Bank v. State National'Bank, 10 Wall., 604.)

6. P U R CHASING CHE C K :

A national b nk may buy a check drawn upon another bank; and whether the
check is payable to order or to bearer is immaterial. (First National Bank
of Bo Chester v. Harris, 108 Mass.. 514.)




REPORT OF THE COMPT1K JELER OF THE CURRENCY.

7. STOCK :

(a) A national banking association, in the compromise of a claim growing out
of its legitimate business, may take railroad stock. (First National Bank
of Charlotte x. National'.Exchange"Bank of Baltimore, 92 TJ. S., 122.)
(/>) And when necessary to do so, it may pay the difference between the value
of the stock and the amount of the claim. (Ibid.)
(e) A national banking association may take and hold the coupons of municipal bonds, and may maintain actions thereon. (First National Bank of
North Bennington y. Town of Bennington, U. S. C. C. (Dist. VI.), Browne's
:V. B. Gas., 437; see also Lyons v. Lyons National Ban):, 19 Blatch., 279.)
8. DEPOSITS TO SECURE PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACT:

A national banking association may receive a deposit to be held by it as security for the faithful performance of a contract between the depositor and
another. (BusJniell v. The Ghaiitauqua County National Bank, 10 Hun, 378.)
NOTE.—But the court put the decision upon the further ground that even were
the contract ultra vires, the association, having received the deposit^ was
estopped from setting up its want of power.
9. EOANS IN EXCESS OF ONE-TEXTII CAPITAL:

(a) Sec. 5200, lie vised Statutes, which provides that the total liabilities to
any association of any person, etc., shall not exceed one-tenth part of the
capital stock paid in, was intended only for the guidance of the association, and, though its franchises may be liable to forfeiture for violation of
the law, the association may recover of the borrower the full amount of
the loan. (Gold Mining Company v. Rocky Mountain National Bank, 96 TJ.
8., 610; O\Harev. Second National Bank of Titusville, 11 Venn. St., 96; Shoemaker v. The National Mechanics' Bank, 2 Abb. V. S., 416; Stewart Y. National Union Bank of Maryland, 2 Abb. TJ. S., 424.)
(b) A note is not illegal because at the time it was discounted by the association the maker was indebted to the association in a sum equal to more than
one-tenth part of its capital. (O'Hare v. Second National Bank of Titusville,
supra.)
(c) And a court of equity will not enjoin an association, at the instance of the
borrower, from transferring to innocent third persons notes and securities,
on the ground that the notes represent part of a loan made in excess of 10
per cent of the capital of the association. (Elder v. First National Bank of
Ottawa, 12 Jians., 238.)
(d) Where a State bank makes a loan to one person of an amount iu excess of
one-tenth part of its capital, and is afterward converted into a national
bank, it may, after conversion, extend the time for payment of such loan
without violating section 5200, Revised Statutes. (Allen v. The First National Bank of Xenia, 23 Ohio St., 97.)
10. REAL ESTATE:

(a) Where a national banking association acquires real estate which it is not
authorized to take, the conveyance to it is not void, but only voidable.
And the title of the association to such real estate is good until assailed
in a direct proceeding by the Government. (Reynolds v. Crawfordsvillc
Bank, 112 U, S., 405; see also National Bankv, Matthews, 98 TJ. S., 621; National BankY. Whilnm/, 103 TJ. S., 99; Swope v. LeffingiceU, 105 TJ. 8., 3;
ForlierY. New Orleans Bank, 112 U. S., 439.)
(b) The amount of real estate which a national banking association may purchase to secure a pre-existing debt is not limitedto the exact amount of
the debt, but as much may be purchased as is necessary to secure the debt
due, so long'as the security of such debt is the real object of the purchase.
(Upton v. National Bank of South Heading, 120 Mass., 153.)
(c) Where the purpose is to secure a debt previously contracted, a national
banking association may take a conveyance of real estate worth more than
the debt, and pay the difference between the debt and the value of the
property. (Libby v. Union National Bank, 99 III., 622.)
(d) Where a national banking association sells real estate it may take a mortgage thereon to secure the payment of the purchase-money. (New Orleans
National Bank v. Raymond, 29 La. Ann., 355.)
11. CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT:

National banking associations may issue certificates of deposit. Such certificates are not post-notes within the prohibition of section 5183, Revised
Statutes. (Hunt v. Appellant, 141 Mass. 515; Riddle v. First National Bank.
21 Fed. Rep., 503.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

12. LIEN ON DIVIDENDS:

An association lias equitable lien upon dividends declared for any just debt
due to it from the shareholders. (Hager v. Union National Bank. 63 Me.,
509.)
13. CONTRACTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF OLD CORPORATION:

(a) Where a State bank has been converted into a national banking association it may enforce all contracts made with it while a State corporation.
(City National Bank v. Phelps, 97 N. Y., 44.)
(b) And it is liable, after the conversion, for all the obligations of the old institution. (Coffee v. The National Bank of Missouri, 46 Mo., 140; Kelsey v. The
National Bank of Crawford, 69 Penn. St., 426.)
(e) A national banking association organized as the successor of a State bank
may take and hold the assets of the bank whose place it takes, though
there was not in form a conversion from a State to a national corporation,
but the organization of a new corporation. (Bank v. Mclntire, 40 Ohio
St., 528.)
(d) And such association will be liable to the depositors of the former bank.
(Bans v. Exchange Bank, 79 Mo., 182.)
14. PLACE OF BUSINESS:

(a) The provisions requiring "the usual business" of the association to be
transacted "at an office or banking-house in the place specified in its organization certificate" must be construed reasonably; and a part of the
legitimate business of the association which can not be transacted at the
banking-house may be done elsewhere. (Merchants? Bank v. State Bank,
10 Wall., 604.)
(b) Although the general business of a national banking association is to be
transacted at its place of business, yet if the association is fully advised
of the facts, and does not object, and there is no fraud, its officers, when
acting within the general scope of their authority, may bind it by acts
done at another place. (Burton v. Burley, 9 Biss., 253.)
(c) Under Revised Statutes, section 5190, providing that " the usual business
of each national banking association shall be transacted at an office or
banking-house located in the place specified in its organization certificate," a national bank can not make a valid contract for the cashing of
checks upon it at a different place from that of its residence, through the
agency of another bank. (Armstrong v. National Bank of Springfield, 38
Fed. Rep., 883.)
(d) Whatever the terms of such an arrangement being made before the date
of the drawee bank's certificate of authorization, it is invalid under Revised Statutes, section 5136, providing that no banking association " shall
transact any business except such as is incidental and necessarily preliminary to its organization, until it has been authorized by the Comptroller
of the Currency to commence the business of banking." (Ibid.)
15. CIRCULATING NOTES:

The circulating notes of a national banking association are valid though they
do not bear the imprint of the seal of the Treasury. Such imprint was
intended to be simply evidence of the contract, and forms no part of the
contract itself. (United States v. Bennett, 17 Blatch., 357.)
16. BUSINESS OF LIQUIDATING ASSOCIATION:

After an association goes into liquidation there is no authority on the part of
its officers to transact any business in its name so as to bind its shareholders, except that which is implied in the duty of liquidation, unless
such authority has been expressly conferred by the shareholders. (Richmond v. Irons, 121 U. S., 27.)
III. ULTRA VIRES.
1. DEALING IN STOCKS:

(a) A national banking association is not authorized to act as a broker or agent
in the purchase of bonds and stocks. (First National Bank of Allentown v.
Hoch, 89 Penn. St., 324; Weckler v. The First National Bank of Hager stow n,
42 Md., 581.)
(b) A national banking association can not deal in stocks. The prohibition is
to be implied from the failure to grant the power. (First National Bank v<
National Exchange Bank, 92 U. S., 122.)
NOTE,—But see, as to its power to deal in Government securities, Powers, 4,

I'APKK:

A national banking' association can not purchase negotiable paper. (Lazexw v.
National Union Bank of Baltimore, 52 Md., 78; First National Bank of
Rochester v. Pier son, 2i Minn., 140; see also Farmers and Mechanics1 Bank
v. Baldwin, 23 Minn., 198. But see Smith v. The Exchange Bank of Pittsburg, 26 Ohio St., 141.)
3. LENDING CREDIT:

(a) A national banking association can not lend its credit. (Johnson v. Charlotiesville National Bank, 3 Hughes, 657; Seligman v. Charlottesville National
Bank, 3 Hughes, 647.)
(&) A national banking association can not guaranty the paper of a customer
/or his accommodation. (Seligman v. Charlottesrille National Bank, supra.)
(c) The accommodation paper of a national banking association is void in the
hands of one who takes it with knowledge of its character. (Johnson v.
Charlottesville National Bank, supra.')
4. MORTGAGES ON REAL ESTATE:

(a) National banking associations are by implication prohibited from takingmortgages on real estate as security for contemporaneous loans. (National
Bank v. Matthews, 98 U. S., 621; Fowler v. Scully, 72 Penn. St., 456; Kansas
Valley National Bank v. Itowell, 2 Dill., 371; Commonwealth Bank v. Clark,
4 Mo., 59; Crocker v. Whitney, 71 TV. F., 161; Fridley v. 7*owew, 87 77Z., 151.)
(ft) But where such security has been taken, no one bnt the Government can
be heard to complain that the association has exceeded its powers. (National Bankv. Matthews, supra; National Bank v. Whitney, 103 U. S., 99;
Sivope v. Leffingivell, 105 £7. #., 3; Reynolds v. National Bank, 112 [7. #., 405;
Fortier v. National Bank, 112 17. £., 439.)
NOTE.—These decisions overrule, on this point, Kansas Valley National Banky.
Bowell, 2 Dill., 371; Crocker v. Whitney, supra; Fowler v. Scully, supra;
Matthews v. Skinner, 62 Jfo., 329; Woods v. Peojrte's National Bank of Pittsburg, 83 Peww. ££., 57; Fridley v. Bowen, supra.
5. WHEN ASSOCIATION CAN NOT SET UP WANT OF POWER :

Where a national banking association has entered into a contract which it was
not authorized to make, a party who has enjoyed the benefit of such contract cannot question its validity. (Casey v. La Societede Credit Mobilier,
2 Woods, 77; German National Bank v. Meadowcroft, 95 III., 124.)
IV. STOCK.
1. PURCHASING ITS OWN STOCK:

Where a national banking association purchases shares of its own stock, and
divides them among its directors, to whom the shares are transferred upon
the stock books, the transaction is void, and no title passes. (Meyers v.
Valley National Bank, U. S. B.C. (E. Dist. Mo.), 13 National Bankruptcy
Register, 34.)
2. LIEN ON STOCK :

(a) A national banking association can not acquire a lien on the stock of a
shareholder. And a by-law prohibiting a transfer until all liabilities of the
shareholder to the association are discharged, or a provision to that effect
in the certificates of stock, is void. (Bullard v. National Bank, 18 Wall.,
589; Bank v. Lanier, 11 Wall., 369; ConkUnv. The Second National Bank,
45 .V". Y., 655.)
(b) A national banking association can not take a pledge of its stock to secure
a deposit made by it with another bank. Such a transaction amounts to a
lending upon the security of its own shares. (Bank v. Lanier, supra.)
(c) Though a bank is prohibited from lending money upon the security of its
own shares, yet, if the shares have been sold and the proceeds applied to
the payment of the debt, the courts will not aid the shareholder to recover
the value of the shares. He can dispute the validity of the transaction
only while the contract is executory, and the security still subsists in the
possession of the bank. (National Bank of Xeniav. Stewart, 107 U. $.,676.)
3. MAY BE ATTACHED:

The stock of a shareholder indebted to Tit may be attached by the association
and sold on execution. (Hager v. l nion National Bank, 63 Me., 509.)

TO

siiAiu:n(>u>i;i:s:

When a national banking association reduces its capital stock the amount of
capital thus released belongs to the shareholders pro rat a and must be returned to them; and it cannot be retained by the association lor a surplus.
(Seeley v. Xeiv York National Exchange Bank, 8 Daly, 400; S. C, 4c Abb. X.
C, 61; affirmed, 78 X. Y., 008.)
5. CONTRACT TO GIVE SHARES FOR BUSINESS:

Where an association has made or ratified a contract to give a person a certain
number of the shares of its stock, upon condition that he will continue to
do his business with it, and derives the benefit from this contract, the
other party may recover of the association the value of the shares. (Rich
v. State National Bank of Lincoln, 7 Xebr., 231.)
Q. TRANSFER OF STOCK:

(a) The transfer of shares in national banking* associations is not governed by
different rules from those which are ordinarily applied to the transfer of
shares in other corporate bodies. (Johnson v. Laflin, 103 U. 8., 800.)
(5) The entry of the transaction in the books of the association is required, not
for the translation of the title, but for the protection of the parties, and
others dealing with the association, and to enable it to know who are its
stockholders. (Ibid.)
(c) A shareholder in a national bank, while it is a going concern, has the absolute right, in the absence of fraud, to make a bona fide and actual sale and
transfer of his shares, at any time, to any person capable in law of purchasing and holding the same, and of assuming the transferred liabilities
in respect thereto; and this right is not, in such cases, subject to the control of the directors or other stockholders. (Johnson v. Laflin, 5 Dill., 65.)
(d) Under the pretense of prescribing the manner thereof, an association can
not clog the transfer with useless restrictions. (Johnson v. Laflin, supra.)
(e) When a shareholder, acting in good faith, delivers his certificates of stock,
with a blank power of attorney for making the transfer, and receives the
purchase-money, the sale is complete and the title x^asses. (Ibid.)
(f) Where a cashier who is intrusted by the directors with the duty of transferring the stock of the association refuses, for insufficient reasons, to
transfer shares, and the association subsequently becomes insolvent, the
owner of the shares may maintain an action against the receiver for the
injury sustained. (Case v. Citizens' Bank, 100 IT. S., 446.)
(g) Where a shareholder who has sold his stock has delivered to the bank the
certificates of stock and a power of attorney, with the request that the
transfer be made upon the books of the bank, and has had no reason to
suppose that such transfer was not made, he will not, should the bank
afterward become insolvent, be held liable as a shareholder, although he
still appears as such on the books of the bank. (Whitney v. Butler, 118
U. S.t 655.)
(h) But where the president of the bank is himself the purchaser of the stock,
then the delivery of the certificates and power of attorney to him with the
request to make'the transfer upon the books of the bank'would not be sufficient to discharge the seller from liability as a stockholder. (Richmond
v. Irons, 121 U. S., 27.)
(i) Where a shareholder of a national bank makes a bo.ia fide sale of his stock,
and goes with the purchaser to the bank, indorses the certificate, and delivers it to the cashier of the bank, with directions to make the transfer
on the books, he has done all that is incumbent upon him to discharge his
liability, and he is not liable, though the cashier failed to make the transfer, upon the subsequent suspension of the bank, for an assessment made
by the Comptroller of the Currency, under Revised Statutes, section 5151,
to pay the bank's debts. (Hayes v. Shoemaker, 39 Fed. Rep., 319.)
7. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO INCREASE OF CAPITAL STOCK:

(a) Where one subscribes for shares in the increase of the capital of a national
banking association in a certain amount, such subscription and payment
are upon the implied condition that the increase shall be in the exact
amount so fixed; and if such amount is changed, the subscriber may avoid
the subscription and recover the amount paid in. (Eaton v. Pacific Bank,
144 Mass., 260.)
(b) And the certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency that the amount of
the increase in another sum has been paid in, which amount includes what
was paid by the dissenting subscriber, will not be conclusive upon such
subscriber. (Ibid.)

held a shareholder. (Delano v. Butler, 118 IT. s.% MA.)
(d) National banks have no authority to increase their capital stock except as
provided by Revised Statutes, .sec. 5142, and act of Congress May 1, 188(J;
and. where an increase is attempted to be made without obtaining tin* consent of two-thirds of the stock, the payment in full of the amount of such
increase, and the certificate and approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, as required by those statutes, the proceedings are invalid, and preliminary subscriptions «:o such increase can not he enforced. (/trmxfroiuj
v. Slav age et a I., 37 Fed, Hep., 508.)
(e) A subscriber who has made payments on his subscription to the proposed
increase, believing that the statutory requirements would be complied
with, ii entitled to have the amount thereof allowed as a claim against
the assets of the bank in the receiver's hands. (Ibid.)
(/) When the previous proceedings looking to an increase in the capital stork
of a national bank have been regular and all that are requisite, and a,
stockholder subscribes to his proportionate part of the increase and pays
his subscription, the law does not attach to the subscription a condition
that it is to be void if the whole increase authorized be not subscribed;
although there maybe cases in which, equity would interfere to protect
him in case of a material deficiency. (Jxp'ntivaU v. Butler, 133 U. S., 595.)
(g) The Comptroller of the Currency has power bylaw to assent to an increase
in the capital stock of a national bank less than that originally voted by
the directors, but equal to the amount actually subscribed and paid for by
the shareholders under that vote. (Ihid.)
(h) Where one subscribes lor shares in an increase of capital stock of a
national bank and pays for the same without waiting to see whether the,
whole amount of the increase is taken, he is bound by such subscription
and payment, though the amount of the increase is afterward reduced by
the bank and the 'Comptroller of the Currency. (Butler v. Eaton, 111
jr. K, 240.)
8. SPECIFIC PERFORMAXCK OF COXTRACT TO SKLL:

A specific performance of a contract to sell the stock of a national banking
association will not be enforced in favor of a purchaser who places his claim
for equitable relief upon the ground that he desires to obtain control of
the association. Such an object is contrary to public policy. (Foil*
Appeal, 81 Penn. St., 434.)
V. SHAREHOLDERS.
1. ESTOPPED TO DENY INCORPORATION:

A shareholder who has held himself out to the world as such is estopped to
deny that the association was legally incorporated. {Casey v. (Udll, 94
U. 8., 673; Wkeehek v. Ko*t, 77 III., 296.)
2.

I N D I V I D U A L LIABILITY :

(a)

The question whether there is a deficiency of assets, and when it is necessary to enforce the individual liability of shareholders, is for the Comptroller to determine; and his decision in this matter is final and conclusive.
(Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498; National Bank v. Case, 99 V. S.. 628;
Casey v. Galli, 94 U. $., 673.)
(b) The amount contributed by each shareholder should bear the same proportion to the whole amount of the deficit as his own stock bears to the whole
amount of the capital stock at its par value. And the solvent shareholders
can not be made to contribute more than their proportion to make good
the deficiency caused by the insolvency of other shareholders. (United
States v. Knox, 102 U. S.] 422.)
(c) A shareholder who disposes of his stock will continue to be liable thereon
until the transfer is noted on the books of the association. (Bowdellx.
Farmers and Merchants' National Bank of Baltimore, U. 8. C. C. (/). ~M(L,
1877); Browne's X. B. Cos., 147.)
(d) The individual liability of a shareholder adheres to his estate after his
death until his place as a. member of the association is taken by some new
shareholder. (Davis v, Weed, lr. S. ]). C. (Dixt. Conn.), reported 41 Conn.,
569.)
(e) The receiver has a valid claim against the estate generally of a deceased
shareholder who died prior to the insolvency of the hank, but whose, stock
has not been transferred. {IUvhmoitd v. Irons, 121 U. «S\,27j Darts v. Heed,
)



104

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

2. INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY—Continued.

(/) And the fact that the title to the stock of a deceased shareholder vests in
his administrator does not relieve the estate from the burden of an assessment. (Davis v. IFeed, supra.)
(g) Nor will the fact that the administration is complete, and all the assets
have been distributed, defeat an action brought to recover the assessment.
(Ibid. But see Witters v. Bowles, 32 Fed. Rep., 30.)
(h) The United States district court has jurisdiction of an action at law
brought by the receiver of a national bank to recover an assessment made
upon a stockholder, and the action may be maintained in such event
against the executor of a deceased stockholder. (Stephens v. Bernays, U.
S. C. C, E. D. Mo.)
(i) One who appears on the books of the association as the owner of shares of
its stock is individually liable, though he hold the stock merely as collateral security. (National Bank v. Case, 99 U. 8., 628; Moore v. Jones, 3
Woods, 53; Bowdell v. Farmers and Merchants' National Bank of Baltimore,
supra; Hale v. Walker, 31 Iowa, 344; Wheelock v. Kost, supra.)
(j) And a subscription to stock of a national bank and payment in full on the
subscription and entry of the subscriber's name on the books as a stockholder constitutes the subscriber a shareholder without taking out a certificate. (Pacific National Bank v. Eaton, 141 U. 8., 227.)
(k) But a pledgee of shares of stock in a national bank who in good, faith and
with no fraudulent intent takes the security for his benefit in the name of
an irresponsible trustee for the avowed purpose of avoiding individual
liability as a shareholder, and who exercises none of the powers or rights
of a stockholder, incurs no liability as such to creditors of the bank in
case of its failure. (Anderson, Receiver, v. Warehouse Company, 111 U. S.,
479.)
(I) And where stock has been transferred as collateral security for a loan,
with the understanding that in case of default in the payment of the loan the
shares shall be sold, the transferee, upon default made, and before the bank
closes its doors, may sell the stock for a nominal consideration, though
his purpose be to avoid a personal liability; and such a transaction can
not be set aside as a fraud upon the creditors of the association. (Magruder v. Colston, 44 Md., 349.)
NOTE.—The court jput the decision upon the ground that the sale was in pursuance of a stipulation which formed a part of the contract between the
original owner and his transferee. See also Holyoke Bank v. Burnham, 11
Cush., 187, upon the authority of which the Maryland case was decided.
(m) If the trusteeship of one who holds stock in trust does not appear upon the
books of the association he will be individually liable. (Davis v. Essex
Baptist Society, IT. S. D. C. (Dist. Conn.), reported 44 Conn., 582.)
(n) A transfer of shares for the purpose of avoiding liability, though made
"out and out" is void. (National Bank v. Case, supra; Bowden v. Santos,
1 Hughes, 158.)
(o) And where a shareholder, who has knowledge of the insolvent condition
of the bank, transfers his shares, without consideration, to a person unable to respond to the assessment, the transfer may be set aside and the
individual liability of the transferrer enforced. (Bowden v. Johnson, 107 U.
S., 251.)
(p) The real owner of the stock is liable as a stockholder, though when he
purchased the stock he had it transferred upon the books to another.
(Davis v. Stevens, 17 Blatch., 259.)
NOTE.—The case of the owner of the stock is thus different from that of a
pledgee. (See Anderson v. Warehouse Company, supra.)
(q) Where shareholders have assessed themselves to the amount of the par
value of the stock for the purpose of restoring impaired capital, the contributions made in pursuance of such assessment, though all used in paying the debts of the association, will not so operate as to discharge the
shareholders from their individual liability. (Delano v. Butler, 118 TJ. 8.9
634.)
(r) The individual liability of the shareholders of an insolvent association
may be enforced for the purpose of paying all of its liabilities, and not
merely for the purpose of paying its " debts," technically so-called; (Stanton v. Wilkeson, 8 Ben., 357.)
(s) The individual liability of the stockholders must be restricted in its meaning to such contracts, debts, and engagements of the association as have
been duly contracted in the ordinary course of its business. And, therefore, creditors of an association who make settlements after the association
is put into liquidation and receive from the president payment of their




REPORT OF TiJK OOMITROLLEK OF THE CURRENCY,

2. INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY—Continued.

claims in paper of the association, or the individual notes of the president
himself, indorsed or guaranteed in the name of the association, are not to
be considered as creditors of the association entitled to subject the stockholders to individual liability; for these are new contracts. (Richmond v.
Irons, 121 U. 8., 27.)
(t) The individual liability ofthe stockholders is enforcible only in behalf of
all the creditors, and any security given by a stockholder for his liability
in this respect should likewise be for the benefit of all the creditors. Accordingly, a mortgage of all the individual property of a stockholder, made
after the bank has closed its doors, for the purpose of securing a single
depositor, is void as against a judgment obtained against such stockholder in an action by the receiver to recover the amount of his individual
liability. (Gatch v. Fitch, 34 Fed.fie}).,566.)
(u) Where a married woman is by the State law capable of holding stock in a
national bank in her own right, she is liable to an assessment upon her
shares, though the law of the State does not authorize married women to
bind themselves by contracts for the payment of money. The law annexes
her obligations by its own force; no act or capacity to act on her part is
required. (Witters v. Sowles, 35 Fed. Rep. 640; S. C. 32 Fed. Rep., 767.)
(v) Married women, AVIIO are permitted by the laws of the State in which they
reside to become shareholders in national banks, are liable to assessments
under the national banking laws. (In re., First National Bank of St. Allans, 19 Fed. Rep., 120.)
(w) The coverture of a married woman, who is a shareholder in a national
bank, does not prevent the receiver of the bank from recovering judgment
against her for the amount of an assessment levied upon the shareholders
equally and ratably under the statute. (Keyser v. Hitz, 133 U. S., 138.)
(x) While it is undoubtedly the rule as regards stockholders that one put upon
the books as a stockholder without his consent can not be held for any liability in respect to such stock, yet where the person to whom the stock is
transferred is a director of the bank, and is concerned in the management
of its affairs, he must be presumed to have knowledge of the fact that the
stock stood in his name, and if he has not repudiated the transfer to himself is liable as the holder of such stock. (Brown v. Finn, 34 Fed. Rep.,
124.)
(y) In such case the mere return of the dividends paid upon the stock to the
person by whom the transfer was made will not be a sufficient repudiation
thereof. (Ibid.)
(z) A person who received dividends on shares of stock standing in his name
on the books of a national bank is estoppecUfrom denying his liability on
the ground that he returned the same by check to an officer of the bank.
He is presumed to be the owner of the stock when his name appears upon
the books of the bank, and the burden of proof is upon him to show that
he is not in fact the owner. (Finn v. Brown, 142 U. S., 56.)
(aa) The State statute of limitations applies to a suit brought by the receiver of
a national bank against a shareholder to recover an assessment upon his
stock to pay the debts of the bank. (Butler v. Poole, 44 Fed. Rep., 586.)
3. W^HEN LIABILITY DISQUALIFIES FROM VOTING:

The provision of section 5144, Revised Statutes, which disqualifies shareholders
" whose liability is past due and unpaid " from voting at meetings of shareholders, applies only to liability for unpaid subscriptions for stock. (United
States ex rel. v Barry, 36 Fed. Rep., 246.;
4. RIGHT TO INSPECT BOOKS:

Code of Alabama, 1886, section 1677, which provides that stockholders of all
corporations have the right to have access to and inspection and examination of the books, records, and papers of the corporation at all reasonable
and proper times, applies to national banks located within the State; and
mandamus will lie against the officer having custody of the books to enforce
the right. (Winter v. Baldwin, 7 So., Rep., 734.;
VI. OFFICERS.
1. TENURE OF OFFICE:

(a) The officers of a national banking association can hold their positions only
by the tenure specified in section 5136, Revised Statutes, viz, the pleasure
of the board of directors. (Harrington v. First National Bank of Chittenanao,
S. C. N. T.. 1873. Thomp. N. B. Cas., 761; see also Taylor v. Hutton, 43 Barb.,

1. TENURE OF OFFICK— ('oniiniKMl.

(&) Directors of nation:) 1 haul;ing associations may remove the president, both
under the law of Congress and the articles of association, where the latter
so provide. The power exists, though the association has adopted no bylaws. (Taylor v. Hut ion, supra.)
2. BONDS OF OFFICERS:

(a) It is not necessary that national banking associations shall signify their approval of the official bonds of their officers by memoranda entered upon the
journals or minutes of the directors. The acceptance is to be presumed from
the retention of the bond, and from the fact that the officer is permitted to
enter upon or continue in the discharge of his duties. (Grover v. The Lebanon National Bank, 10 Bush., 23.)
(o) Where the sureties of an officer can reasonably be presumed to have been
deceived by the statement of the condition of the bank published just
prior to the execution of the bond, and to have been led to think that there
was no deiicit, whereas there had been a misapplication of a large part of
the funds by the officer whose bondsmen they became, which fact would
have been ascertained had the directors exercised ordinary diligence, the
sureties are discharged from their liability. (Grover v. The Lebanon National Bank, supra.)
3. DIRECTORS MUST ACT AS A BOARD:

The election of an individual as a director does not constitute him an agent of
the corporation with authority to act separately and independently of his
fellow members. It is the board duly convened and acting as a unit that
is made the representative of the association. The assent or determination
of the members of the board acting separately and individually is not the
assent of the corporation. The law proceeds upon the theory that the directors shall meet and counsel with each other, and that any determination
affecting the association shall be arrived at and expressed only after a consultation at a meeting of the board, attended by at least a majority of its
members. (National Banlc v. Drake, 35 Kans., 564.)
4. BORROWING MONEY OF ASSOCIATION:

An officer may, in the ordinary course of business, borrow money of the association. (Blair v. First National Bank of Mansfield, U. 8. 0. C. (N. I). Ohio),
1877, 10 Chicago Legal News, 84.)
5. LIABILITY FOR VIOLATIONS OF LAW:

(a) All directors who participate in and assent to a loan in excess of one-tenth
of the capital of the* bank, in violation of section 5200, Revised Statutes,
will be liable to the bank for all damages sustained by it in consequence of
such loan. (Witters v. Soivles, 31 Fed. Rep., 1.)
(b) If a cashier, without authority from the directors so to do, makes a loan in
excess of one-tenth of the capital of the association, he will be liable, in
case of loss, for the amount of the excess. (Second National Bank of Oswego
v. Burt, XIVNew York Weekly Digest, 290. Reversed in court of appeals
on ground that transaction was discount of bill of exchange drawn against
actually existing values, 93 N. Y., 233.)
(c) The directors of a national bank will not be held liable for loss occasioned
to the bank through the frauds of a co-director in which they had no part,
and which were perpetrated without their connivance or knowledge. It
is not sufficient to charge them with liability that the frauds might have
been prevented by the exercise on their part of a proper degree of supervision over the affairs of the bank. (Movius v. Lee, U. 8. C. C. (N. 1). N.
Y.), 30 Fed. Hep., 298.)
(d) But directors of a national bank must exercise ordinary care and prudence
in the administration of the affairs of the bank, and this includes something more than officiating as figureheads; they are entitled under the
law to commit the banking business as defined to the duly authorized
officers, but this does not absolve them from the duty of reasonable supervision nor ought they be permitted to be shielded from liability because
of want of knowledge of wrongdoing if that ignorance is the result of
gross inattention, (llr'tgg* v. Spaulding. 141 U. 8., 131.)
(e) Directors of a national bank are "officers" within the meaning of Revised
Statutes, United States, section 5209, which makes it a misdemeanor for
bank officers to make false entries in any book, report, or statement of the
bank, with intent to deceive any of its officers. (United States v. Means et
al.,-42 Fed. Rep., 599.)

r>. LIABILITY roll vioi,A'iioxs <>i- LAW—Continued.
(/) The personal liability of directors of a national "bank for violation of
Revised Statutes, United States, section 5204, by declaring dividends in
excess of net profits, and of section 5200, for loaning to separate persons,
firms, or corporations amounts exceeding one tenth of the capital stock,
can not be enforced in an action at law. ( Welles v. Graves, ilFed. Hep., 459.)
(</) Under Revised Statutes, United States, section 5239, providing that if the
directors of a national bank shall violate any of the provisions of the title
relating to the organization and management of banks, the franchises of
the bank shall be forfeited, such violation, however, to be determined by
a proper court of the United States in a suit therefor by the Comptroller,
and that in cases of such violation every director participating therein shall
be personally liable for all damages which the bank, its shareholders, or any
other person shall have sustained in consequence thereof, the Comptroller
can not authorize the receiver to bring suit, under section 5234, to enforce
such personal 1 lability, until it has been adjudged by a proper court that such
acts have been done as authoiize a forfeiture of the charter. (Ibid.)
(h) The right to maintain an action under Revised Statues, United States, section 5239, to recover from a bank director the damages sustained by his bank
in consequence of excessive loans made by him while serving in the capacity of director, is not affected by the fact that the Comptroller has or has
not procured a forfeiture of the bank's charter. (Stephens v. Overstoh, 43
Fed Rep., 771.)
(i) For services performed by the district attorney in bringing a suit against
a national bank, and obtaining a forfeiture of its charter, he is not entitled to more than $10, the fees prescribed by section 824, there being no
other law of the United States giving a compensation to a district attorney for such services. (Bashaw v. United States, 47 Fed. Hep., 40.)
(j) A stockholder of an insolvent national bank for which a receiver has been
appointed can not maintain an action at law against the directors for the
purpose of making them personally liable for the mismanagement of the
bank, but the action must be brought by the receiver. (Howe v. Barney,
45 Fed. Hep., 668.)
(1c) Revised Statutes, United States, sections 5234 and 5239, prescribing the
method of enforcing the liability of the directors of national banks for
violation of the banking law, are exclusive of other remedies, and a creditor of an insolvent bank for which a receiver has been appointed, can not
sue its directors for the purpose of making them personally liable for the
mismanagement of the bank. (National Exchange Bank v. Peters et al., 44
Fed. lieiL, 13.;
6. DIRECTORS OF CONVERTED BANKS:

(a) When a State bank is converted into a national banking association all of
the directors at the time will continue to be the directors of the association until others are appointed or elected, though some of them may not
have joined in the execution of the articles of association and organization certificate. (Lock-wood v. TJie American National Bank, 9 R. I., 308.)
(b) And semble, that the directors of a bank at the time of its conversion into
a national banking association are not required to take the oath of directors. (Ibid.)
(c) But even were the oath required, a majority of all who were directors at
the time of the conversion, and not merely a majority of those who take
the oath, are necessary to constitute a quorum. (Ibid*.)
7. RETIREMENT OF DIRECTORS:

(a) The law providing no particular mode by which a director is to resign
from the board, an oral resignation would be as good as any. (Movius^v.
Lee, 30 Fed.Eep., 298.)
(b) The president being the head of the board, a resignation to him is a resignation to the board. (Ibid.)
(c) A director is not prohibited from resigning during the year. The apparent
purpose of the provision in regard to the term of office is to make it conform to the time of the new election, and not to absolutely require every
director to serve the full term. (Ibid.)

VII. INTEREST.

1. WHAT INTEREST ASSOCIATIONS MAY TAKE:

(a) The provision in section 30 of the act of 1864 "that where, "by the law of
any State, a different rate is limited for banks of issue organized understate laws, the rate so limited shall he allowed for associations organized
in any such State under the act," is enabling, and not restrictive; and,
therefore, a national hanking association in any State may stipulate for
as high a rate of interest as by the laws of such State a natural person
may, although State banks of issue are restricted to a less rate. {Tiffany
v. National Bank of the State of Missouri, 18 Wall,, 409.)
(b) But it is not to be inferred from Tiffany v. National Bank of Missouri that
whatever by the laws of the State is lawful for natural persons in acquiring title to negotiable paper by discount is lawful for national banks.
(National Bank v. Johnson, 104 U. 8., 271.)
(c) The interest which a national banking association may charge is limited to
the rate allowed to the banks of the State generally; and the fact that a
few of the State banks are specially authorized to take a higher rate is
not a warrant for a national banking association to do so. {Duncan v. First
National Bank of Mount Pleasant, U. S. D. C. (W. D. Venn., 1878), 11 Bank
Mag., 787; Gruber v. First National Bank, 87 Penn. St., 468.)
(d) Where the State law does not limit the rate of interest which may be
charged on loans to corporations, a national banking association located
in that State can not charge more than 7 per cent interest on such loans.
(In re Wild, 11 Blatcli., 243.)
(e) Where by the statutes of the State parties are authorized to contract for
any rate of interest, national banking associations in that State may likewise contract for any rate, and are not limited to 7 per cent. (Hinds v.
Marmelejo, 60 Cah, 229; National Bank v. Bruhn, 64 Texas, 571.)
2. ON CLAIMS AGAINST INSOLVENT AND LIQUIDATING ASSOCIATIONS :

(a) A depositor in a national banking association which has become insolvent
is entitled to interest on his deposit. (National Bank of Commonwealth v.
Mechanics' National Bank, 94 U. 8., 437.)
(b) He is entitled to interest from the date of the suspension of payments; and
no demand upon the association is necessary. (Chemical National Bank v.
Bailey, 12 Blatch., 480.)
(c) Claims, when proved to the satisfaction of the Comptroller, are upon the
same footing as if put in judgment, and therefore bear interest; and the
fact that, under certain circumstances, there might be thus a compounding of interest will not defeat the right to interest. (National Bank of
Commonwealth v. Mechanics' National Bank, supra.)
(d) But where a creditor has obtained judgment against an insolvent national
hanking association for the full amount of his claim and interest, he is not
entitled to interest upon the face of the judgment, but only upon the
amount of the claim at the time of the failure. ( White v. Enox, 111 U. S.,
784.)
(e) The creditors of an insolvent national banking association in the hands of
a receiver are entitled to interest on their claims during the period of administration. (Chemical National Bank v. Bailey, supra.)
(/) The assessments made by the Comptroller upon the shareholders of an insolvent association bear interest from the date of the order. (Casey v.
Galli, 94 U> S., 673.)
(g) In the case of book accounts in favor of depositors, interest begins to run
against an association in liquidation from the date of the suspension of
business. (Richmond v. Irons, 121 U. 8., 27.)
3. USURY:

(a) The usury laws of the States do not apply to national banking associations.
(Farmers and Mechanics' Bank v. Dearing, 91 U. 8., 29; Central National
Bank v. Pratt, 115 Mass., 539; First National Bank v. Gorlinghouse, 22 Ohio
St., 492; Davis v. Randall, Ho Mass., 547; Hintermister v. First National
Bank, 64 N Y., 212.)
(b) And the remedies provided by the State for the taking of usury can not be
resorted to. (Farmersand Mechanics1 Bank v. Dearing, supra; Wiley v. Star1)nek, 44 2nd., 298.)
(c) The taking of illegal interest by a national banking association does not
render the contract void. (Farmers and Mechanics' Bank v. Dearing, supra.)



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
3. UsuitY—Continued.
(d) It does not invalidate an indorsement or a guaranty of the notes upon
which the usurious interest was paid. (Gates v. First National Bank of
Montgomery, 100 U. S., 239; Lazsar v. Nation ah Union Bank of Baltimore, 52
Md., 78.)
(e) But usury destroys the interest-hearing power of the obligation; and there
will he no point of time from which it can bear interest. (Lucas v. Government National Bank, 78 Penn. St, 228.)
(/) The usury works a forfeiture of the entire interest accruing after maturity
and before judgment, as well as that which accrues before maturity.
(Shunk v. The First National Bank of Gallion, 22 Ohio St., 508.)
(g) The discounting of business paper by a national banking association at a
higher than the legal rate is usurious, though the law of the State fixes no
limit to the rate which natural persons may take for the discount or purchase of such paper. (Johnson v. National Bank of GloversviUe, 74 N. Y.,
329; affirmed in National Bank v. Johnson, 104 U. S., 271.)
(h) By charging more than legal interest on overdrafts, a national banking
association loses the right to recover any interest at all. (Third National
Bank of Philadelphia v. Miller, 90 Penn. St., 241.)
(i) The liabilities of antecedent parties to a note or bill will not be affected by
the usurious character of the transaction between the payee and the association; and the association may recover the full amount of the note or bill
from the maker or acceptor. (Smith v. The Exchange Bank of Pittsburg, 26
Ohio St., 141.)
(j) Usurious interest which has been paid to a national banking association
can not be applied by way of payment or set-off in any action by the association to recover the amount of the loan. (Barnet v. Muncie National Bank,
98 U. £., 855.)
(k) Nor can the penalty for taking the usurious interest be recovered byway
of counter-claim in such action, but a separate action must be brought
therefor. (Ibid.)
NOTE.—This case overrules portions of the decisions in Lucas v. Government
National Bank, supra; Overholt v. National Bank, 82 Penn. St., 490; Cake v.
The First National Bank of Lebanon, 83 Penn., St., 303.
(I) A director is not by reason of his position estopped from setting up the
defense of usury in an action brought against him by the association.
(Bank of Cadiz v. Slemons, 34 Ohio St., 142.)
(m) Where a national banking association has discounted notes for another
bank at a usurious rate of interest, the fact that the other bank has
charged illegal interest on those notes to its customers will not affect its
right to set up the defense of usury in an action by the association. (Third
National Bank of Philadelphia v. Miller, supra.)
(n) The amount which may be recovered from the association as a penalty is
twice the amount of interest paid, and not simply twice the amount in
excess of the legal rate. (Crocker v. First National Bank of Chetopa, U. S.
C. C. (Eighth Circuit), 3 Am. L. T. [N. S.],350; Overholt v. National Bank of
Mount Pleasant, 82 Perm. St., 490; see also Barnet v. Muncie National Bank,
supra.)
(o) The purchase of accepted drafts by a national bank from the holder without
his indorsement at a greater reduction than lawful interest on their face
value is a discounting of those drafts, within the meaning of Revised Statutes, United States, section 5197, which prohibits such bank from taking
interest on any loan or discount made by it at a greater rate than is allowed
by the laws of the State where it is situated. (Danforth et al. v. National
State Bank of Elizabeth, C. C. of Appeals (Third Circuit), 48 Fed. Hep., 271.)
VIII. INSOLVENT ASSOCIATIONS.
1. NOT SUBJECT TO BANKRUPT ACT:

National banking associations were not subject
to the bankrupt act while that
act was in force. (In re Manufacturers7 National Bank, 5 Biss., 499.)
2, WHAT CONSTITUTES INSOLVENCY:

The term " insolvency," as used in section 5242, Revised Statutes, forbidding
transfer of the assets of national banking associations after, or in contemplation of, such insolvency, has the same meaning as it had when applied
to traders in the bankrupt act; that is, it does not mean an absolute inability of a debtor to pay his debt at some future time, upon a settlement
and winding up of his affairs, but a present inability to pay in the ordinary
course of business. (Casev. Citizens' Bank of Louisiana, 2 Woods, 23; Mar ket Bank v. Pacific National Bank, 30 Hun, 50.)


110

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

3. ASSETS A TRUST F I N D :

Upon the appointment of a receiver all the assets of the association become in
his hands a trust fund which the statute of limitations does not touch or
affect. (Riddle v. First National Bank, U. S. C. C. (IF. 1). Penn.), 27 Fed.
Rep., 503.)
NOTE.—But this point was not necessary to the decision of the case, for suits
against insolvent corporations are by a law of Pennsylvania expressly excluded from the operation of the statute.
4. UNITED STATES HAS NO PRIORITY:

(a) Section 3466, which gives the United States a priority for all claims it has
against insolvent debtors, does not apply to the case of an insolvent national banking association. (Cook County National Bank v. United States,
107 U. S., 445.)
(b) And as against the proceeds of the bonds deposited to secure circulation
the United States can set off no claim, except for money advanced to redeem the notes. (Ibid.)
(c) And upon the failure of an association its 5 per cent redemption fund can
not be retained by the Treasurer to pay taxes due to the United States, but
the fund passes to the Comptroller as an asset of the association. (Jackson v. United Slates, 20 Ct. Cls., 298.J
5. CLAIMS FOR TORTS:

Claims arising out of the nonfeasance or malfeasance of the association should
be paid rat ably with the debts, technically so called. (Turner v. First National Bank of Keokuk et at., 26 Iowa, 562.)
6. PREFERENCES :

(a) A preference, to be within the meaning of section 5242, Revised Statutes,
must be given to an existing creditor to secure a pre-existing debt. A
transfer by an insolvent bank to secure a contemporaneous loan is not a
violation of the law. (Casey v. La Society de Credit Mobilier, 2 Wood, 77.)
(b) Revised Statutes, United States, section 5242, which prohibits all transfers
by any national banking association made after the commission of an act
of insolvency, or in contemplation thereof, with the view to a preference
of one creditor over another, is directed to a preference, not to the giving
of security when a debt is created; and if the transaction be free from
fraud in fact, and is intended merely to adequately protect a loan made at
the time, the creditor can retain property transferred to secure such a loan
until the debt is paid, though the debtor is insolvent, and the creditor
has reason at the time to believe that to be the fact. (Armstrong v. Chemical
National Bank, 41 Fed. Rep., 234.)
(c) A banker's lien for the amount of the balance of its general account does
not exist when the securities have been deposited with the bank for a
special purpose, or for the payment of a particular loan. (Ibid.)
(d) Revised Statutes, United States, section 5242, which invalidates all transfers of the notes, bonds, or bills of exchanges of a national bank, after the
commission of an act of insolvency, with the view to the preferences of one
creditor over another, does not prohibit a bank which has in good faith
accepted the draft of a national bank the day before the hitter's insolvency, and afterward paid the same, from applying the proceeds of collections made by it, on paper in its hands belonging to the insolvent bank,
to the payment of the draft, since its lien on such collections runs from
the date of the acceptance. (In re Armstrong, 41 Fed. Hep., 381.)
(e) The insolvency need be in the contemplation of the bank only. It need not1
be known to the person to whom the transfer is made. (Case v. Citizens
Bank of Louisiana, supra.)
(/) After the directors of an insolvent association have voted to close its doors,
any transfer of assets whereby a creditor secures a preference must be presumed to be made with an intent to prefer. (National Security Bank v.
Price, 22 Fed. Rep., 697.)
(g) Where the officers of an association which is in danger of insolvency, for
the purpose and in the expectation of presenting a failure, make a pledge of
securities to a depositor to induce him not to withdraw his deposit, such a
pledge is not a preference within the meaning of section 5242, Revised
Statutes, and will not be set aside when the association afterward is declared insolvent. (Roberts v. Bill, 23 Fed. Rep., 311.)
(/<) Where an insolvent association receives a deposit a short time before closing its doors, its officers knowing of the insolvency at the time, the receipt
of such deposit is a fraud upon the depositor, and no title passes to the



REPORT OF T H E

association, and therefore the depositor may reclaim the whole amount
of the deposit; and as he claims under his original title, and not under a
transfer from the association, such reclamation does not amount to a preference.

(Graffie et at. v. Hartley, 99 N. Y., 131.)

(i) A trust was not impressed upon funds deposited on day the bank closed its
doors in the absence of proof that the deposit had not gone into the general
fund of the bank and lost its identity before reaching the receiver. (In re
North River Bank, 14 N. Y., 261.)

(j) But a creditor will not have a lien upon the funds of the association because
checks given in settlement of balances were fraudulent, and were given at
a time when the bank was hopelessly
insolvent and its officers were con1
templating flight.

(Citizens National Bank v. Dowd, 35 Fed. Rep., 340.)

(7c) Where the proceeds of an item indorsed "for collection and return." were
mingled with other moneys of the bank, if it was a breach of trust it was a
conversion, and plaintiff became a simple contract creditor, with no preference at law.

(Philadelphia National Bank v. Dowd, 38 Fed. Rep., 172.)

(I) Where by agreement and custom a national bank received drafts from its
correspondent indorsed "for collection for the," and credited it to them as
cash, with the understanding that any unpaid draft should be charged
back, and where the collecting bank failed before collection, the proceeds
of the draft coming into the hands of a receiver, the correspondent bank
has the rights of a general creditor only. (First National Bank v. Armstrong, 39 Fed Rep., 231.)

(m) Where plaintiff and defendant banks for several years had ucted as agents
for each other in the collection of checks, notes, and drafts, the practice
being for each to credit the other for checks when received and for drafts
and notes when advised of their payment, and a check was returned unpaid after being credited, the amount thereof charged back again, but
amounts actually collected being mingled with the general funds of either
bank, and where plaintiff sent defendant a note "for collection and
credit" which on maturity was paid by a check and credit was immediately given on the books, but defendant failed and the check passed into
the hands of a receiver—Held, that in view of the course of dealing the
two banks stood in the relation of debtor and creditor with respect to the
amount of the check, and it became part of the assets of the bank. (Franklin County National Bank v. Heal, 49 Fed. Rep., 606.)

(n) Whether the title to a check deposited with a bank passes to the bank
before collection, so as to immediately create the relation of debtor and
creditor between it and the dex>ositor, is a question of fact, depending
upon the circumstances and course of dealing in each particular case.
(City of Somerville v. Seal, 49 Fed. Rep., 790.)

Where a bank in accordance with its custom credited checks deposited by a
customer at the close of each day's business, retaining the right to subsequently charge off the same if returned unpaid from the clearing house,
and the bank became insolvent on a succeeding day, title in the checks
passed to the bank so as to create the relation of debtor and creditor.
(Ibid.)
(o) Where a national bank collected all papers sent to it by complainant under an arrangement which constituted the bank the agent of complainant,
the latter can recover, on the ground of a trust, from a receiver of the
bank such portion only of the proceeds of its paper sent to the bank as it
shows has passed into the receiver's hands, either in its original or some
substituted form.

(Commercial National Bank v. Armstrong, 39 Fed. Rep.,

684.)
(p) Where checks and drafts sent from one bank to another indorsed "for collection "and credited "subject to payment" according to the dealings
between the banks, and part of them were paid to the receiver of the latter
bank after its failure and the balances were credited to it by the payors,
the amount paid the receiver should be accounted for as a trust fund, but
the balance as a general debt. (First National Banky. Armstrong, &2Fed.
Rep., 193.)
(q) Negotiable paper with restrictive indorsement credited by agent on date
of receipt "subject to payment," although account is subject to be drawn
upon, title is not transferred, and upon the insolvency of the agent before
receiving notice of the .collection of the item, the owner is entitled to the
proceeds in the hands of the collecting agent. (Fifth National Bank v.
Armstrong, 40 Fed. Rep., 46.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

PREFERENCES—Continued.

(r) The drawers of a draft deposited with a bank for collection, and by it forwarded to a correspondent bank, are entitled to the amount as against the
receiver of the forwarding bank, which was insolvent, and known to be
so by its officers when it received the draft, and suspended payment before
the proceeds were withdrawn from the collecting bank, {importers and
Traders' National Bank v. Peters et al., 123 Court of Appeals, N. Y., 272.)
(s) When a bank which has received a draft for collection sends it to another
bank for that purpose, and on being advised that the latter bank has collected the draft credits the depositor and then becomes insolvent without
having received the money from the collecting bank, the depositor remains
the owner of the draft, and is entitled to its proceeds from the collecting
bank against the receiver and the creditors of the insolvent bank. {Armstrong v. National Bank of Boyertown {Court of Appeals, Ky.), 11 S. W. Rep.,
411.)
(t) A bank which collects a draft sent to it by another bank for that purpose,
with directions to remit the proceeds to a third bank for the owner's account does not thereby become a trustee, so that the fund can be followed
into the hands of a receiver, although it had become mixed with the other
cash of the bank before his appointment; especially when it appears that
the business was carried on, and money paid out, for several days after
the collection was probably made. {Merchants and Farmers7 Bank v. Austin et al., 48 Fed. Rep., 25.)
7. BASIS FOR ESTIMATION OF DIVIDENDS:

In estimating the dividends to be paid out of the assets of an insolvent association, the value of the claims at the time when the insolvency is declared is
to be taken as the basis of distribution. ( White v. Knox, 111 U. S.f 784.)
8. SET-OFF:

{a) A person liable upon a note to an insolvent national bank may set off
against his indebtedness the amount of his deposits with the bank. (Platt
v. Bentley, Thomp. N. B., Cas., 758.)
{b) But a debtor can not set off the amount of a deposit assigned to him after
the act of insolvency committed. {Venango National Bank v. Taylor, 56
Venn. St., 14.)
(c) Funds received on the discounting of a note and deposited with the discounting bank, subject to the check of the depositor and which had been
drawn upon by him, but were intended by him to meet the note when due,
can not be pleaded as a set-oft" in an action on the note brought by the receiver of the discounting bank who received the note before maturity.
(Armstrong v. Scott, 36 Fed. Bep.f 63.)
_
*
(d) The endorser of a note discounted by a national bank and which matures
after the bank becomes insolvent and a receiver is appointed is entitled
to set-off against the note the amount of his deposit in the bank at the
time of its failure. {Circuit Court of Appeals {Third Circuit), 51 Fed. Rep,,
506.)

CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OF LEASE :

Where a national bank has leased a banking house for a long term of years,
and subsequently becomes insolvent, but during the time it continued
business had not defaulted in paying the rent, the lessor has no claim
against the receiver by reason of the insolvency or dissolution of the corporation or the forfeiture of its franchises, or by the refusal of the receiver
to take under the contract and pay the rent. {Fidelity Safe Deposit and
Trust Co. v. Armstrong, 35 Fed. Rep., 567.)

IX. RECEIVER.
1.

OFFICER OF THE UNITED STATES :

A receiver, when appointed by the Comptroller, with the concurrence of the
Secretary, is an. officer of the United States. (Stanton v. Wilkeson, 8 Ben.,
357.)
2. WHOM HE REPRESENTS:

He represents the bank, its stockholders, and its creditors; but he does not in
any sense represent the Government. (Case v. Terrell, 11 Wall., 199.)
3. HOW FAR SUBJECT TO COMPTROLLER'S ORDERS:

•

(a) The clause of section 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 the Comptroller's direction, not that he shall not act without
orders. He may bring suit to collect assets without having been instructed
to do so by the Comptroller. (Bank v. Kennedy, 17 Wall.)
(b) The receiver of a national bank is the instrument of the Comptroller, and
may be removed by him. (Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 505.)

4. POWER OF COURTS TO APPOINT:

(a) The power of the Comptroller to appoint a receiver is not exclusive; it
does not oust the courts of equity of their authority in the matter; and
therefore a court of competent jurisdiction may place the bank in the
hands of a receiver in cases where, according to the rules of equity, it may
pursue such a course with regard to insolvent corporations generally.
(Irons v. Manufacturers' National Bank, 6 Biss., 301; Wright v. Merchants'
National Bank, 1 Flippin, 561.)
(b) Where a bank has gone into voluntary liquidation, and the Comptroller
has no power to appoint a receiver, a proper court, in a case where such
action is necessary to protect the interests of a creditor, will appoint a receiver for it. (Irons v. Manufacturers' National Bank, supra.)
(c) Where a national bank is insolvent and in process of voluntary liquidation, and its affairs are being greatly mismanaged by its managing agents,
to the injury of its creditors and stockholders, and some of the creditors
and stockholders are being favored to the injury of others, a receiver may
be appointed in such a case, even where the bank only has been made a
defendant. (Elwood v. First National Bank, 21 Kans., 673.)
5. DEBTORS OF ASSOCIATION CAN NOT QUESTION LEGALITY OF APPOINTMENT:

The legality of the appointment of the receiver can not be questioned by the
debtors of the bank when sued by him. The bank may move to have the
appointment set aside, but the debtors can not. (Cadlev. Baker, 20 Wall.,
650; see also Platt v. Beebe, 57 N Y., 339.)
6. RECEIVER'S DECISION NOT FINAL :

The decision of a receiver rejecting a claim is not final. The claimant still
has the right to sue. (Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383.)
7. SALE KY:

(a) The receiver can not sell the real or personal property of the bank without
an order from a court of competent jurisdiction. (Ellis v. little, 27 Kans.,
707.)
(b) Nor can he sell upon the terms in conflict with the order. (Ibid.)
(c) And under an order permitting him to sell the property of the bank he
can not exchange, trade, or barter it for other property. (Ibid.)
(d) A sale made by a receiver under order of a court is to all intents and purposes a judicial sale. (In re Third National Bank, 9 Biss., 535.)
8. CONTRACTS OF:

(a) As the power of a receiver of a national bank appointed by the Comptroller
is limited; a person dealing with him in his official capacity is bound as a
matter of law to have knowledge of his authority to act, and if contracts
and agreements are entered into with the receiver in excess of his authority as conferred by law, the parties contract at their own peril and the
estate of the bank can not be charged for the default or inability of a receiver acting outside of his functions as receiver and beyond the duties
which it involves. (Ellis v. Little, 27 Kans., 707.)
(b) The receiver can not charge the estate of the bank by any executory contract, unless authorized so to do by the provisions of the national banking
law and the order of a court of competent jurisdiction obtaine^upon the
terms of said law. (Ibid.)

9. EXPENSES OV RECEIVERSHIP FOR ASSOCIATION WHICH HAS GONE INTO LIQUIDATION :

Where after au association has gone into liquidation a receiver is appointed
at the instance of the creditors, the expenses of such receivership must be
paid by the creditors. The shareholders can not be made individually
liable for such expenses. (Richmond v. Irons.)
X. TAXATION.
1. WHAT MAY BE TAXED:

(a) A State can not tax the capital stock of a national bank as such. The
tax must be assessed upon the shares of the different stockholders. (Collins
v. Chicago, A Biss., 472.)
(b) Under Revised Statutes, United States, section 5219, which declares that
nothing in the national banking act shall prevent all the shares of stock
of a national bank from being included in the assessment of the personal
property of the owners of such shares, an assessment of the entire stock of
a national bank in solido against the bank its self is invalid. (National
Bank of Virginia v. City of Richmond et ah, 42 Fed. Hep., 877.)
(c) The assessment of the entire capital stock of a national bank in solido
against the bank itself is invalid. The bank may pay the tax assessed upon
the shares of its different stockholders, and it will have a lien thereon
when it pays such tax until the same is satisfied; but if for any cause the
tax levied upon the different stockholders is not paid by the bank, the
property of the individual stockholders will be liable therefor. (First
National Bank of Leoti v. Fisher, 45 Kons. 726, April 11, 1891.)
(d) The individual stockholders of a national bank are allowed the same deductions from the assessment against them upon their shares of stock as other
taxpayers in the State, owning moneyed capital,, are allowed. (Ibid.)
(e) The term "moneyed capital" as used in Revised Statutes, United States,
respecting State taxation of shares in national banks embraces capital
employed in national banks and capital employed by individuals when
the object of their business is the making of profit by the use of their
moneyed capital as money. (Talbot v. Silver Boiv County, Montana, 139
U. 8., 438)
(/) Laws, New York, chapter 596, section 3, which provide that the stockholders in banks and trust companies organized under the authority of the
State or of the United States shall be assessed for the value of their shares
of stock, but which omits to provide for the taxation of the shares of stock
in other private corporations, does not contravene Revised Statutes, United
States, section 5219, which forbids the taxation of shares of national banks
at a greater rate than is assessed on other umoneyed capital" in the hands
of the individual citizens of the State. (Palmer v. McMahon, U. S. S. C).
(g) The shares of a national bank are taxable to the owners, and the bank is
not liable primarily or as the agent of the shareholders, under the act of
Congress or the various laws uf the State or Territory, for the payment of
a tax levied upon such shares; but if such bank, through its proper officers,
voluntarily lists such shares as the property of the bank for taxation, and
the taxing officers of the State or Territory in pursuance of such erroneous
listing tax the same in the name of the bank, equity will not relieve the
bank from the payment of such tax by enjoining its collection in the absence of a proper application to all the statutory tribunals authorized to
hear such matter and determine and grant the proper relief. (A Ibuquerque
National Bank v. Peoria et ah (S. C, N. Hex.), January 28, 1892.)
(h) The entire interests of the shareholders may be taxed without any deduction for- that portion of the capital which is invested in United States
securities. (Van Allen v. The Assessors, 3 Wall., 573.)
(i ) New shares issued by a national banking association can not be taxed until
the increase of capital has been approved by the Comptroller of the Currency. (Charleston v. People's National Bank, 5 8. C.t 103,)
(j) The manifest intention of the law is to permit the State in which a national
bank is located to tax, subject to the limitations prescribed, all the shares
of its capital stock without regard to their ownership; and, therefore, a
national bank may be taxed upon the shares which it holds in another
national bank. (Bank of Redemption v. Boston, 126 U. S., 60.)
(k) The undivided surplus of a national banking association, unless invested
in Federal securities, may be lawfully taxed by the State. (North Ward
National Bank of Newark v. City of Newark, 10 Vroom, 380; First National
#» Panic v. Peterborough, 56 N, II., 38.)
'

1. WHAT MAY BE TAXED—Continued.

(I) But, of course, if the surplus is taken into consideration in estimating the
taxable value of the shares, it is not to he taxed separately. (North Ward
National Bank v. City of Newark, supra.)
NOTE.—But it has been held in Maryland that the stock of an association
represents its whole property, and where a tax is assessed upon the shares
a separate tax upon the real or personal estate amounts to double taxation; and, therefore, where the organic laws of the State prohibit double
taxation, such a tax upon the property of an association is void. (County
Commissioners v. Farmers and Mechanics' National Bank, 48 Md., 117; see
alsoNational State Bank v. Young, 25 Iowa, 311, wherein it was held that
the State could tax only the shares eo nomine and the real estate.)
(m) The surplus fund of a national banking association is not excluded in the
valuation of its shares for taxation. (Strafford National Bank v. Dover. 59
N. H., 316.)
(n) Where shares of stock are assessed at their actual cash value, without any
deduction for the real estate owned by the association, the real estate
should not be taxed eo nomine. (Commissioners of Bice County v. Citizens'
National Bank of Faribault, 23 Minn., 280.)
(o) Real estate owned by a bank constitutes part of its assets, within the
meaning of Code of Mississippi providing that banks shall pay a privilege
tax, whose amount varies with their "capital stock or assets, " in lieu of
all other taxes. (Vicksburg Bank v. Worrell, 7 So. Itep., 219.)
(j>) The State can not tax the circulating notes of national banking associations. (Home v. Greene, 25 Miss., 452; contra, Board of Commissioners v.
Klston, 32 Ind., 27; see also Huffin v. Board of Commissioners, 69 N. C, 498;
Lily v. The Commissioners, 69 N. C, 300.)
2. RATE:

(a) Where the State banks are taxed upon the capital, no tax can be imposed
upon the shares of national banking associations; for, as the capital of the
State banks may consist of the bonds of the United States, which are exempt from State taxation, a tax on capital is not equivalent to a tax on
shares. (Van Allen v. The Assessors, 3 Wall., 573; Bradley v. The People,
4 Wall., 459.)
(b) But though the tax upon the State banks is not eo nomine a tax on shares,
yet if it is equivalent to such a tax the shares in the national banking associations located in that State may be taxed. (Frazer v. Seibern, 16 Ohio
St., 614; Van Slyke v. State, 23 Wis., 656; Boynoll v. State, 25 Wis., 112.)
(c) Where by local legislation different rates are prescribed for different
classes of moneyed capital, the rate imposed upon shares of national
banks should approximate as closely as may be the rate imposed upon
other moneyed capital of the same or similar class, viz, shares of State
banks. (City National Bankv. Paducah, U. S. C. C. (Sixth Circuit, 1877),
5 Cent. L. J., 347.
(d) Congress meant no more than to require of the States, as a condition to
the exercise of the power to tax the shares in national banks, that they
should, as far as they had the capacity, tax in like manner the shares of
banks of issue of their own creation. (LionbergerY. House, 9 Wall., 468.)
(e) Therefore, where a State has previously contracted with the banks which
it has chartered that they'shall not be taxed above a certain rate, a tax
upon national-bank shares at a greater rate is not invalid if this rate is
not greater than that assessed upon all the moneyed capital within the
State, except that of the State banks. (Ibid.)
(/) Any system of assessment of taxes which exacts from the owner of the
shares of a national banking association a larger sum in proportion to the
actual value of those shares than it does from other moneyed capital,
valued in like manner, taxes the shares at a greater rate, notwithstanding
that the percentage of tax on the valuation is the same as that applied to
other moneyed capital. (Pelton v. Commercial National Bank, 101 U. S., 143.)
3. VALUATION:

(a) In estimating the value of the shares for the purpose of taxation reference may be had to all the property and values of the bank. (Saint Louis
National Banky. Papin, U. S. C. C. (Eighth Circuit), 3 Cent. L. J., 669.)
(b) If no excessive valuation is complained of, and a correct result is arrived
at, equity will not restrain the collection of a tax because the method of
computation was erroneous. (Ibid.)
(e) The shares may be valued for taxation at an amount exceeding their face
value, if this amount is not at a greater rate than the valuation set upon
other moneved capital in the State. (Hepburn v. School Directors, 23 Wall.,
 480.)


116

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

3. VALUATION—Continued.

(d) Under 1 he statute of New York, shares in national banking associations
should he taxed at their real or market value. (People v. The Commissioners
of Taxes and Assessments, 94 U. S., 415.)
(e) Where shares in national hanking associations are purposely valued proportionately higher than the other moneyed capital in the State, the assessment is void. (Pelton v. National Bank, 101 U. S., 143.)
(/) And the collection of what is in excess of the rate imposed on the other
moneyed capital may he enjoined. (Ibid.)
(g) It is not required that the State should abandon systems of taxation of
their own banks, or of money in the hands of their other corporations,
which they may think the most wise and efficient modes of taxing their
own corporate organizations, in order to make that taxation conform to
the system of taxing the national banks upon the shares of their stock in
the hands of the shareholders; all that is necessary is that the system of
State taxation of its own citizens, of its own banks, and of its own corporations shall not work a discrimination unfavorable to the holders of the
shares of the national banks. (Davenport Bank v. Davenport, 123 U. $., 83.)
4. EXEMPTIONS:

(a) The intention of Congress was that the rate of taxation of the shares
should be the same^as, or not greater than, the tax upon the moneyed capital of the individual citizen which is subject and liable to taxation. (People v. The Commissioners, 4 Wall, 244.)
(b) Therefore, it is not a ground of objection to the validity of a tax on shares
that, while deductions for United States bonds are made from the personal
estates of individuals and the capital of State corporations, no deductions
are made on account of the capital of national banking associations
invested in such bonds. (Ibid.)
(c) The fact that by the statutes creating them, which statutes were passed
prior to the national banking law, State banks are entirely exempt from
taxation wiH not render a tax upon the shares of national banking associations void. (City of Richmond v. Scott, 48 Ind.} 568.)
(d) And a State tax upon shares in national banking associations is not rendered invalid by an exemption of the shares of other corporations, the
capital of which consists of property required to be listed for taxation as
such. (Mclver v. Robinson, 53 Ala., 456.)
(e) Merely a partial exemption of other moneyed capital will not invalidate a
tax upon shares in national banking associations. (Hepburn v. /School
Directors, 23 Wall., 480.)
(/) But though Congress did not contemplate that there should be an absolute
equality (which in the nature of things is impossible), yet it did intend
that there should be a substantial equality; and therefore, if the exemptions in favor of other moneyed capital are so palpable as to show that
there is a serious discrimination against capital invested in the shares of
national banking associations, the tax will be declared unlawful. (Boyer
v. Boyer, 113 U. 8., 690.)
(g) A State law which does not permit a deduction to be made from the assessed value of bank shares for all debts due by the holder thereof, while
authorizing such a deduction to be made from the assessed value of moneyed capital otherwise invested, is void. (People ex rel. Williams v. Weaver,
100 U. 8., 539, reversing S. C, 67 JV. T.,516, and overruling People v. Dolan, 36 N. Y., 59.)
(h) In the assessment and taxation of shares of national-bank stock, the owners thereof, having no other credits or moneyed capital, are entitled to deduct their bona tide debts from the value of such shares of stock. (Wasson v. Bank (Ind,), 8 N. E. Rep., 97.)
( i) Revised Statutes, section 5219, providing that shares of national-bank stock
may be taxed as part of the personality of the owner, and that each State
may tax them in its own manner, except that the taxation shall not be at a
greater rate than is imposed on other "moneyed capital" owned by citizens of the State, and that the shares of nonresidents shall only be taxed
in the city wherein the bank is located, do not authorize the taxation of the
stock of a bank in solido by the city in which it does business, but only the
shares of individual*owners residing in the city are taxable, and they must
be taxed separately, in order that the owner may deduct from their value
the amount of his personal indebtedness, where the State laws or municipal ordinances permit such deductions, and require equality of taxation.
(First National Bank of' Richmond Y. City of Richmond et al.} 39 Fed* Rep., 309.)



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

E^MPTIONS—Cojitin ued.

(j) The main purpose of Congress in fixing limits to State taxation on investments in the shares of national banks, was to render it impossible for the
State in levying such a tax to create and foster an unequal and unfriendly
competition hy favoring institutions or individuals carrying on similar business
and operations and investments of a like character; and the language of the
law is to be read in the light of this policy. And, therefore, the exemption
' of shares of stock in corporations, the business of which does not come into
competition with that of the national bank (e. g., railroad companies, mining
companies, manufacturing companies, and insurance companies), does not
invalidate a tax upon national-bank shares. Capital thus employed is not
"moneyed capital" within the meaning of the act of Congress. (Mercantile Bank v. New York, 121 U. S., 138.)
(h) Bonds issued by a State, or under its authority by its public municipal
bodies, although they undoubtedly represent moneyed capital, yet as from
their nature they are not ordinarily the subject of taxation, are not within
the reason of the rule established by Congress for the taxation of nationalbank shares, and the fact that the State exempts them from taxation does
not deprive it of the right to tax shares of stock of national banks in the

State.

(Ibid.)

(I) Although deposits in savings banks constitute moneyed capital in the
hands of individuals within the terms of any definition which can be given
of that phrase, yet they are not within the meaning of the act of Congress
in such a sense as to require that, if they are exempted from taxation,
shares of stock in national banks must thereby also be exempted from
taxation; for it can not be supposed that savings banks come into any possible competition with national banks. (Ibid.)
(m) Under act Louisana, 1888, section 27, relating to taxation of national bank
shares, making no deduction for that part of the bank's property entering
into their value which consists of nontaxable State and national securities,
which deduction may, under the act, be made by individuals, a tax on
national bank shares violates Revised Statutes of the United States, section 5219, prohibiting the assessment of such shares at a greater rate than
moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens, and it is immaterial
that the same discrimination is made against other corporations. ( Whitney
National Bank v. Parker, 41 Fed. Bep., 402.)
(n) The taxation of national-bank shares by the statute of Indiana without
permitting the owner of them to deduct from their assessed value the
amount of his bona nde indebtedness as he may in the case of other investments of moneyed capital, is a discrimination forbidden by the act of
Congress. (Brittony. Evansvilie National Bank, 105 U. 8., 322.)
5. COLLECTION OF TAX FROM THE ASSOCIATION:

(a) A State tax upon shares is valid, though the tax is collected from the bank.
(National Bank y. Commonwealthf 9 Wall., 353.)
(b) And the State may require the banks to pay a tax rightfully laid upon the
shares. (Ibid.)
(c) And where the tax on shares is payable by the association the collection
of the tax may be enforced by distraint of its property. (First National
Bank v. Douglas County, 3 Dill., 330.)
(d) But where the tax laws of the State make the bank the mere agent for paying the tax on shares, and direct it to retain so much of the dividends as
will answer that purpose, other agents being required to pay taxes for their
principals only when they have under their control the property, money,
or credit of such principals, the bank can not be made liable unless it has
the control of the property, etc., of its shareholders, or has dividends in
its possession, or has failed to retain them. (Hershire v. First National
Bank, 35 Iowa, 272.)
(e) Act Louisiana, 1888, section 27, providing that shares in banks shall be
assessed to the shareholders, but requiring the bank to pay taxes so assessed, and authorizing it to collect the same from the shareholders,
imposes a tax, not upon the bank, but upon its shares, as permitted by
act of Congress, providing that a State may determine the manner of taxing the shares of national banks located in the State. ( Whitney National
Bank y. Parker, 41 Fed. Rep., 402.)
(/) No suit for the collection of a tax under State statutes imposed upon the
shares'oi' stock of a national bank can be maintained against the receiver
of an insolvent national bank where the property represented by the shares
has disappeared; for, there being nothing from which the receiver can be




118

5. COLLECTION OF TAX FROM TIIK ASSOCIATION—Continued.

reimbursed, the tax will fall upon the assets of the bank, which belong
to its creditors, and thereby violate the rule that a State can not tax the
capital stock of a national*bank. (City of Boston v. Beal, 51 Fed. lie}).,
306.)
6. LICENSE TAX:

(a) National banking associations can not be subjected to a license or privilege
tax. (Mayor v. First National Banlcof Macon, 59 Ga., 648; City of Carthage
v. First National Bank of Carthage, 71 Mo., 508; National Bank of Chattanooga v. Mayor, 8 Heiskell, 814.)
(b) A State law prohibiting the establishment of banking companies in the
State without the authority of the legislature was not intended to apply to
banking corporations created by authority of Congress, since such corporations may be legally established in the State without the consent of the
legislature. (Stetson v. City of Bangor, 56 Me., 274.)
7. POWERS OF TAXING OFFICERS:

(a) Municipal officers can not assess a tax upon the shares of national banking
associations until authorized to do so by some law of the State. (Stetson v.
City of Bangor, 56 Me., 274.)
(b) The officers of a national banking association can not be compelled to exhibit to the taxing officers of a State the books of the association showing
the deposits of its customers. (First National Bank of Youngstown v. Hughes.
V. S. C. C. (N.I). Ohio, 1878;, Broivne's N/B. Cos., 176.)
(c) Code Alabama, 1286, S. 1677, which provides that stockholders of all private
corporations have the right to have access to, and inspection and examination of the books, records, and papers of the corporation, at all reasonable
and proper times, applies to national banks located within the State, and
the rights of stockholders are not curtailed nor the statute in conflict with
Revised Statutes, United States, which provide that national banks shall
not be subject to visitorial powers other than those authorized by Congress
or vested in the courts of justice. (Winter v, Baldwin, Ala., 7 So., 734.)
(d) The only remedy for the making of a false return to the auditor by the
cashier of a bank, of the resources and liabilities of the bank for the purposes of taxation, is afforded by revised statutes of Ohio, section 2679, which
provides that the auditor may examine the books of the bank, and any officer or agent of it under oath, and make out the statement; and any officer
of the bank may be fined not exceeding $100 for failing to make the statement, or for willfully making a false one. (Miller v. First National Bankt
21N.E.liep.,860.)
(e) A national banking association is not exempt from examination by internalrevenue officers when it has in its possession any articles subject to an
internal-revenue tax. Such an examination is not the exercise of a visitorial
power, and therefore is not prohibited by the provision of section 5241,
Revised Statutes, that the national banks shall not be subject to any visitorial powers except those authorized by the national-bank act or vested
in the courts of justice. (United States v. Rhaivn, U. S. D. C. (E. D. Penn.).
Thomp. N. B. Cas., 358.)
if) Where by the tax laws of a State a perpetual lien for taxes attaches to
property only by virtue of a levy thereon, and such levy is not made prior
to the insolvency of the bank, the taxing officers of the State will be restrained, at the instance of the receiver, from levying upon the property
of an insolvent national bank, and selling it, for the purpose of collecting
a tax. ( Woodward v. Ellsworth, 4 Colo., 580.)
(g) A State may require the cashiers of national banking associations located
within its territory to transmit lists of the shareholders to the taxing officers of the various towns in which the shareholders reside. (Waite v.
Doivley, 94 U. S., 527.)
8. ENFORCEMENT OF TAXES:

A tax duly assessed upon shares may be enforced in accordance with the general laws of the State on that subject. (Weld v. City of Bangor, 59 Me.,
416.)
9. LOCATION OF ASSOCIATION FOR TAXING PURPOSES:

An association which opens

XL JURISDICTION.
NOTE.—The jurisdiction of the Federal courts in national-bank cases was very
materially changed by the proviso to the fourth section of the act of July
12; 1882. The proviso is as follows:
" Provided, however, That the jurisdiction for suits hereafter brought by or
against any association established under any law providing for national
banking associations, except suits between them and the United States,
or its officers and agents, shall be the same as, and not other than, the
jurisdiction for suits by or against banks not organized under any law
of the United States which do or might do banking business where such
national banking associations may be doing business when such suits
may be begun. And all laws and parts of laws of the United States inconsistent with this proviso be, and the same are hereby, repealed."
The jurisdiction of the United States circuit courts in suits by or against national banks is thus deh'ned by section 4, act March 3, 1887:
"SEC. 4. That all national banking associations established under the laws of
the United States shall, for the purposes of all actions by or against them,
real, personal, or mixed, and all suits in equity, be deemed citizens of the
States in which they are respectively located; and in such cases the circuit and district courts shall not have jurisdiction other than such as they
would have in cases between individual citizens of the same State.
"The provisions of this section shall not be held to affect the jurisdiction of
the courts of the United States in cases commenced by the United States,
or by direction of any officer thereof, or cases for winding up the affairs of
any such bank."
1. JURISDICTION OF FEDERAL COURTS PRIOR TO THE ACT OF JULY 12, 1882:

(a) National banking associations may sue in the Federal courts. The word
" b y " was omitted from section 57 of the act of 186i by mistake. (Kennedy
v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 505.)
(b) A national banking association may sue and be sued in the circuit court for
the district in which the association is located, irrespective of the amount
in controversy and the citizenship of the parties. (County of Wilson v. National Bank, 103 U. S., 770; Mitchell v. Walker U. S. C. C. (W. 1). Perm.,
1879), Broione's N. B. Cas., 180; Commercial Bank of Cleveland v. Simmons,
U. 8. C. C, (W. B. Ohio). 10 Alb. L. J., 155.)
(c) But where the amount in controversy does not exceed five hundred dollars,
the association can not sue in a Federal court outside of the district in
which it is established. (St. Louis National Bank v. Brinkman JJ. 8. C. C.
(D. Kans.), 1 Fed. Pep., 45.)
(d) A national banking association located in one State may bring an action in
the circuit court of the United States sitting
within another State against
a citizen of that State. (Manufacturers1 National Bank v. Baack, 8 Blatch.,
147.)
(e) When a national bank is sued in a Federal court the suit must be brought
in the district in which the bank is located. And service upon an officer of
the bank in another district will not give the court of that district jurisdiction of the cause. (Maine v. Second National Bank of Chicago, 8 Biss.,
26.)
(/) A United States district court has jurisdiction of a suit in equity by or
against a national banking association located within the district. (First
National Bank of Pittsburgv. Pitlsburg and Castle Shannon Railroad Company, 1 Fed. Rep., 190.)
(g) A circuit court has no jurisdiction of a suit by a private person to compel
the Comptroller of the Currency and the Treasurer of the United States to
disclose what disposition has been made of the United States bonds deposited with the Treasurer by a national banking association, and for a decree
directing those officers as to their duty regarding such bonds. (Van Antwerp v. JSulburd, 7 Blatch., 425; Van Antwerp v. Hulhurd, 8 Blatch., 282.)
(h) Section 380, Revised Statutes, which provides that "all suits and proceedings arising out of the provisions of law governing national banking associations, in which the United States or any of its officers or agents shall
be parties, shall be conducted by the district attorneys of the several districts under the direction and supervision of the Solicitor of the Treasury,"
does not enlarge the jurisdiction of the circuit court, and can not be held
to confer jurisdiction in such suits or proceedings upon a court not having,
independently of this section, authority to entertain them. (Van Antwerp
v. Rulburd, 7 Blatch., 426. supra.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

1. JURISDICTION OF FEDERAL COURTS, ETC.—Continued.

(*) National banking associations, being corporations organized under the laws
of the United States, are entitled as such to remove into the circuit court
of the United States suits brought against them in the State courts.
(Cruikshanky. Fourth National Bank, 21B latch., 322: sea also Removal Cases,
115 V. S.,1.)
(j) A United States district court has jurisdiction to authorize a receiver to
compromise a debt. (Matter of Plait, 1 Ben., 534.)
(7c) An action at common law to recover a debt due to the bank may be instituted by a receiver in a United States district court, he being an officer of
the United States within the meaning of section 563, Revised Statutes.
(Plait v. Beach, 2 Ben., 303; Stan ton v. IVUkeson, 8 Ben., 357.)
(I) The power of a national banking association to take a mortgage upon real
estate is a question which the party raising it should be permitted to litigate in a Federal court; and he should not be sent into the State courts to
try this question on the distribution of surplus moneys in a foreclosure
suit, or in a suit brought by the party holding the alleged invalid mortgage. (inreDuryca, U. S. I). C. (S.\l). N. Y.), 17 National Bankruptcy
Register, 495.)
2. JURISDICTION OF FEDERAL COURTS SUBSEQUENT TO ACT OF JULY 12, 1882:

(a) The-tenth subdivision of section 629, Revised Statutes, which confers upon
the circuit court of the United States jurisdiction of all suits by or against
any national banking association established in the district for which the
court is held, has been repealed by the proviso to section 4 of the act of
July 12, 1882. (National Bank of Jefferson v. Fare et al., TJ. 8. C. C. (E. I).
Tex.), 25 Fed. Rep., 200.)
(b) The object of this proviso was to deprive the United States courts of juris• diction of suits by or against national banking associations in all cases
where banks organized under State laws could not likewise sue or be sued
in such courts. (National Bank of Jefferson v. Fare et al., supra.)
(c) But the proviso does not affect the right of the receiver of an insolvent association to sue in a Federal court. (Hendee v. Connecticut and P. R. R. Co.,
26 Fed. Rep., 677.)
(d) Nor would the act of July 12,1882, take from the circuit court jurisdiction
of a suit brought against a director for negligent performance of his duties;
for, as such suit rests upon the requirements of the United States laws, and
by-laws made pursuant thereto, it is a case arising under the laws of the
United States. ( Witters v. Foster, U. S. C. C. (I). Vt.), 28 Fed. Rep., 737.)
(e) In an action against a national bank in a circuit court of the United States,
if all the parties are citizens of the district in which the bank is situated,
and the action does not come under section 5209 or section 5239 of the Revised Statutes, the circuit court has no jurisdiction. (Whittemore v.
Amoskeag National Bank, 134 U. S., 527.)
(/) The Federal courts have jurisdiction of an action between a national bank
located in one State and a citizen of another State. (First National Bank
v. Forest, 40 Fed. Rep., 705.)
(g) An action between a receiver of an insolvent national bank and a depositor
does not present a Federal question under Revised Statutes of the United
States, section 5242, avoiding preferences to creditors of such an insolvent
bank. (Tehan v. First National Bank et al., 39 Fed. Rep., 577.) On motion
to remand to State court.
(h) A receiver of an insolvent national bank is an officer of the United States
within the meaning of section 563, Revised Statutes of the United States,
which gives the district courts jurisdiction of "all suits at common law
brought by the United States, or any officer thereof authorized by law to
sue." ( U. 8. i>* C. (E. I). Mo.), Feb. 24,1890.)
3. JURISDICTION OF STATE COURTS:

(a) State courts have jurisdiction of suits by and against national banking
associations. (Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383; see also
Ordway v. Central National Bank, 47 Md., 217, and Clafflin v. Houseman, 93
U. S., 130.)
(I)) Where a national banking association is sued in a State court, the suit must
be brought in the city or county in which the bank is located. (Cadle v.
Tracey, 11 Blatch., 10i; Crocker v. Maine National Bank, 101 Mass., 240.)
NOTE.—But the New York court of appeals has held that the provision of the
national banking law as to the jurisdiction of State courts is j^ermissive
only, and not mandatory, and that a State court, in a proper case, may entertain a proceeding against a national bank located in another State.

3. JURISDICTION OF STATE COURTS—Continued.

(Cooke v. The State National Bank of Boston, 52 N. Y., 96; Robinson v. JVational Bank of New Berne, 81 N. Y., 385; see also Adams v. Daunis, 29 Z«.
^4iw?., Sl5.) And in Talmage v. Third National Bank, 27 Hun, 61, the supreme court of New York' said: "The
words of restriction to the place
where said 'association is situated ; apply to the county and municipal
courts, and not to the State courts. In the State courts of general jurisdiction a national banking association can be sued whenever an individual
can be for the same cause/' In Cooke v. The State National Bank, Chief
Judge Church questioned the constitutional right of Congress to deprive
the State courts of jurisdiction in such cases.
(e) A State court can entertain an action brought to recover of a national
"banking association the penalty for taking usury, (Ordway v. The Central
National Bank, 47 Md., 217; Hade v. McVay, 31 Ohio St., 231; Bletz v. Columbia National Bank, 87 Penn. St., 87.)
(d) The State courts have jurisdiction of an action brought by a shareholder
on behalf of himself and other shareholders to recover of the directors of
an insolvent association damages for injuries resulting from their negligence and misconduct. (Brinckerlwff v. Bostwick, 88 N. Y., 52.)
(e) A State court has no power to make an order directing the receiver of a
national bank, who has been appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency,
to pay a judgment obtained against the bank before the receiver was appointed.' (Ocean National Bank v. Carll, 7 Hun, 237.)
(/) State courts have no jurisdiction of the case of an embezzlement of the
funds of the association by one of its officers. (Commonwealth v. Felton,
101 Mass., 204; Commonwealth ex ret. Torrey v. Ketner, 92 Penn. St., 372.)
(g) The defense of usury may be set up in action brought in a State court.
(National Bank of Winter set v. Eyre, 52 Iowa, 114.)
4. UNITED STATES CAN NOT BE SUBJECTED TO JURISDICTION OF COURT:

Neither the Comptroller nor the receiver by putting in an appearance to a suit
can subject the United States to the jurisdiction of a court. (Casev. Terrell, 11 Wall., 199.)
5. CITIZENSHIP:

A national banking association is for jurisdictional purposes a citizen of the
State in which it is located. (Davis v. Cook, 9 New, 134.)
XII. SUITS.
1. BY AND AGAINST ASSOCIATIONS :

(a) Suit may be brought against a national banking association though it is
in the hands of a receiver. (Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall.,
383; Security National Bank v. National Bank of the Commonwealth, 2 Hun,
287; Green v. The Wallkill National Bank, 7 Hun, 63.)
(b) Where the tax on shares is collected from the association it may bring a
suit to enjoin the collection of an illegal tax. (Cummin gs v. National Bank,
101 U. S., 153; Pelton v. Commercial National Bank, 101 'U. S., 143; Boyer v.
Boyer, 113 U. S., 143.)
(c) A State law authorizing national banking associations which have been
converted from State banks to use the name of the original corporation for
the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits is not in conflict with the
national banking law, and therefore proceedings based upon a judgment
obtained before the conversion maybe instituted by such association in
its former corporate name. (Thomas v. Farmers' Bank of Maryland, 46
Md., 43.)
(d) The conversion of a State bank into a national bank, with a change of
name, under the national bank act does not affect its identity or its right
to sue npon liabilities incurred to it by its former name. (Michigan Insurance Bank v. Eld-red, 143 U. S., 293.)
(e) A national banking association is a foreign corporation within the meaning of a State statute requiring corporations created by the laws of any
other State or country to give security for costs before prosecuting a suit in
the courts of the State. {National Park Bankv. Gunst, 1 Abb. N. C, 292.)
(/) As a national banking association can acquire no title to negotiable paper
purchased by it, it can maintain no action thereon in a State where the
person suing must be owner of the paper. (First National Bank of Rochester
v. Pier son, 24 Minn., 140.)



122

REPORT OP THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

4. BY AND AGAINST ASSOCIATIONS—Continued.

(g) But in a, State where the holder may sue without respect to the ownership,
an association may bring suit upon paper so acquired. (National Pemberton Bank v. Porter, 125 Mass.. 333: Atlas National Bank v. Savenj, 127 Mass..
75).
(h) Suits brought by a receiver can not be settled or compounded upon an
order of the Comptroller; this can be done only with the authority of the
court. (Case v. Small, 2 Woods, 78.)
(i) An action for money against a national bank whose corporate existence is
admitted is not a suit arising under the laws of the United States. (Ulster
County Savings Institution v. Fourth National Bank, 8 N. Y., 162.)
2. BY SHAREHOLDERS :

(a) A shareholder of a national banking association can not maintain an action
against the directors to recover damages sustained for neglect and mismanagement of the affairs of the association whereby it became insolvent and
its stock was rendered worthless. Such an action can be brought only by
the corporation itself. (Conway v. Halsey, 15 Vroom, 462.)
(b) But where the receiver refuses to bring an action against negligent directors to recover the amount which the shareholders have been compelled
to contribute to pay the debts of the association, an action against such
directors may be brought by a shareholder on behalf of himself and the
other shareholders. (Nelson v. Burrows, 9 Abb. N. C, 280.)
(c) And when the receiver is a director/and one of the parties charged with
misconduct and against whom a remedy is sought, the action may be
brought by a shareholder on behalf of himself and the other shareholders.
(Brinckerhoffv. Bostxvick, 88 N. Y., 52.)
3. B Y RECEIVERS:

(a) A receiver may sue either in his own name or the name of the bank. (National Bank v. Kennedy, 17 Wall., 19.)
(b) Suits and proceedings under the act in which the United States or their
officers or agents are parties, whether commenced before or after the appointment of a receiver, are to be conducted by the district attorney under
the direction of the Solicitor of the Treasury. (Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., 383.)
(c) But section 380, Revised Statutes, is directory merely, and the employment
of private counsel by the receiver can not be made a ground of defense to
a suit brought by him. (Ibid.)
(d) Receivers may sue in the courts of the United States by virtue of the act,
without reference to the locality of their personal citizenship. (Ibid.)
(e) The provisions of the codes that every action must be brought in the name
of the real party in interest, except in the case of the trustee of an express
trust or of a person authorized by statute to sue, does not apply to the
receiver of a national banking association suing in a Federal court held
in a State which has adopted the code procedure; for the right of the receiver to sue is derived from the national banking law. (Stanton v. WilJceson, 8 Ben., 357.)
(/) Under section 1001 of the Revised Statutes, no bond for the prosecution of
the suit, or to answer in damages or costs, is required on writs of error or
appeals issuing from or brought to the Supreme Court of the United States
by direction of the Comptroller of the Currency in suits by or against insolvent national banking associations or the receivers thereof. (Pacific
National Bank v. Mixter, 114 U. S., 463.)
4. BY CREDITORS OF INSOLVENT ASSOCIATION:

(a) The creditors of an insolvent association must seek their remedy through
the Comptroller, in the mode prescribed by the statute; they cannot proceed directly in their own names against the stockholders or debtors of the
bank. (Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 498.)
(b) The writ of mandamus can not issue in a case where its effect is to direct
or control the head of an executive department in the discharge of an executive duty, involving the exercise of judgment or discretion. (United
States exrel. Boynton v. Blaine, 139 U. S., 306.)
5. FOR USURY:

(a) The penalty for all illegal interest paid to a national banking association
within two years priorfcothe commencement of proceedings may be recovered in a single action, whether the amount was in one payment or in
several. (Hinttrmister v. First National Bank, 64 N, Y., 212.)



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CUUliENCY.

123

5. FOR t - su R Y—C!onti 11.11 ed.
(b) Where a bankrupt has paid usurious interest; ILLS assignee may bring an
action against the association to recover the penalty. ( Wright v. First National Bank of Greensburg, 8 Biss., 243; Crocker v. First National Bank of
Chetopa, 4 Dill., 358; 3 Am. L. T. N. 8., 350.)
(c) The party who paid the usurious interest is the only party to the note who
is entitled to sue for the penalty. (Lazear v. National Union Bank of Maryland, 52 Md., 78.)
(d) Under Revised Statutes, United States, 5198, providing that a suit against
a national bank for taking usurious interest must be commenced within
two years from " t h e time the usurious transaction occurred," the limitation begins to run from the time when such interest is paid. (National
Bank v. Carpenter, N J., 19 A., 181.)
6. TO ENFORCE LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS:

(a) When the full personal liability of shareholders is to be enforced the action must be at law. (Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall., 505: Casey v. Galli, 94
U. S., 673.)
(b) And it may be at law, though the assessment is not for the full value of
the shares; for, since the sum each shareholder must contribute is a certain exact sum, there is no necessity for invoking the aid of a court of
equity. (Bailey v. Sawyer, 4 Dill., 463.)
(c) But the suit may be in equity. (Kennedy v. Gibson, supra.)
7. EXECUTION:

A judgment against a national bank in the hands of a receiver only establishes
the validity of the claim; the plaintiff can have no execution on such judgment, but must wait pro rata distribution. (Bank of Bethel v. Pahquioque
Bank, 14 Wall., 383.)
8. ATTACHMENTS:

(a) When a creditor attaches the property of an insolvent bank he can not
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. (First National Bank of Selma v. Colby, 21 Wall., 609; Harvey v.
Allen, lQBlatch, 29.)
(b) No State court can issue an attachment against the funds of a national
bank. Although the provision forbidding attachments was evidently made
to secure equality among the general creditors in the division of the pro« ceeds of the property of an insolvent bank, its operation is by no means
confined to cases of actual or contemplated insolvency; but the remedy is
taken away altogether and can not be used under any circumstances. The
effect of the provision in section 5242, Revised Statutes, is to write into all
State attachment laws an exception in favor of national banks, and all
such laws must be read as if they contained an exception in favor of national banks. (Pacific National Bank v. Mixter, 124 U. S., 721.)
NOTE.—This case overules the decision of the New York court of appeals in
Robinson v. National Bank of New Berne (81 N. Y., 385), where it was held
that the national banking law does not prohibit attachments against the
property of national banks, except in cases where an act of insolvency has
been committed, oi is contemplated. See also National Shoe and LeatherBank v. Mechanics' National Bank, 89 N. Y., 467; BaynorY. Pacific National
Bank, 93 N. Y., 371; Southwick v. First National Bank of Memphis, 7 Hun,
96.
(c) Nor can an attachment be issued by a circuit court of the United States;
for as by the law of Congress all power of issuing attachments against
national banks before judgment has been eliminated from State statutes,
thpre can be no laws of the State providing for such a remedy on which
the circuit court can act. (Ibid.)
9. ABATEMENT:

An action brought by the 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 v. Colby, 21 Wall., 609.)
10. ESTOPPEL:

(a) A shareholder against whom suit is brought to recover the assessment
made upon him by the Comptroller will not be permitted to deny the existence of the association, or that it was legally incorporated. (Casey v.
Galli, 94 U. 8., 673.)



124

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

10. ESTOPPEL—Continued.

•

(b) Where one sued by a national bank is accustomed, to deal with it as such,
and does so deal with it in respect to the matter in suit, he is estopped from
denying its incorporation. (National Bank of Fairhaven v. The Phoenix Warehousing Company, 6 Hun, 71.)

11. SUITS AGAINST LIQUIDATING ASSOCIATIONS:

A national bank which has gone into voluntary liquidation will continue to
exist as a body corporate for the purpose of suing and being sued until its
affairs are completely settled. {National Bank v. Insurance Company, 104
U. £.,54; Ordway v. 'Central Xational Bank, 47 Md,, 217.)
12. TRANSITORY AND LOCAL SUITS :

The provision of the banking law, section 5198, Revised Statutes, which requires that actions brought against national banking associations in State
courts shall be brought in the county or city in which the association is
located, applies only to transitory actions; it was not intended to apply to
actions local in their character. (Casey v. Adams, 102 U. $., 66.)
13. SURVIVAL OF SUITS:

Whether a suit against a director for negligent performance of his duties, as
required by the statutes of the United States and the by-laws of the association, will survive against the executor or administrator depends upon,
State laws. ( Witters v. Foster, U. S. C. C. (Dist. Ft), 2o Fed. Hep., 737.)
XIII. EVIDENCE.
1. CERTIFICATE OF COMPTROLLER:

(a) The certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency that an association has
complied with all the provisions required to be complied with before commencing the business of banking is admissible in evidence upon a plea of
nul tiel corporation ; and such certificate, together with proof that the association has been acting as a national banking association for a long time,
is amply sufficient evidence to establish, at least prima facie, the existence
of the corporation. (Mix v. The National Bank of Blooming ton, 91 J^.,20;
sea also Merchants' National Bank of Bang or v. Glendon, 120 Mass.,,97.)
(b) The certificate of the Comptroller that the association has complied with
all the provisions of law touching the organization of associations removes
any objection which might otherwise have been made to tbe evidence upon
which he acted. {Casey v. Galli, 94 U. S., 673; Thatcher v. West Eiver National Bank, 10 Mich., 196.)
(c) And in a suit against the association or its shareholders such certificate of
the Comptroller is conclusive as to the completeness of the organization.
(Casey v. Galli, supra.)
(d) A letter from the Comptroller directing the receiver to institute suit, if not
objected to at the time, is sufficient evidence that the Comptroller has decided that the enforcement of the individual liability of the shareholders
is necessary. (Boivden v. Johnson, 107 U. 8., 251.)
2. EVIDENCE OF INSOLVENCY:

(a) It is not necessary that the facts upon which the Comptroller bases his
action in appointing a receiver should be established by what is competent
legal evidence; but he is left to be satisfied as best he can be, under the
peculiar circumstances of each case, of the facts and the necessity for the
exercise of his authority. (Platt v. Beebe, 57 N. Y., 330.)
(b) A return of nulla bona upon an execution issued against the property of a
national bank is proof of its insolvency. (Wheelock v. Eost, 77 III., 296.)
3. NECESSITY FOR ASSESSMENT BY COMPTROLLER:

It is not essential, in an action to enforce the individual liability of the shareholders of an insolvent national banking association, to aver and prove
that the assessment was necessary; for the decision of the Comptroller on
this point is conclusive. (Strong v. 8outhworth, 8 Ben., 331} Kennedy v.
Gibson, 8 Wall., 505; Casey v. Galli, 94 U. S., 673.)




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

125

XIV. CRIMES.
1. UNDER UMTED STATES LAWS:

(a) The willful misapplication of the moneys and funds of a national banking
association, made an offense by section 5209, Revised Statutes, must be for
the use or benefit of the party charged or of some person or company other
than the association. (United States v. Britton, 107 U. S., 655.)
(&) The exercise of official discretion in good faith, without fraud, for the advantage or the supposed advantage of the association, is not punishable;
but if official action be taken in bad faith, for personal advantage and
with fraudulent intent, it is punishable. (United States v. Fish, 24 Fed.
Rep., 585.)
(c) It is not necessary that the officer should personally misapply the funds
of the association. He will be guilty as a principal offender though he
merely procures or causes the misapplication. (Ibid.)
(d) A loan in bad faith, with intent to defraud the association, is a willful
misapplication within the meaning of the statute. (Ibid.)
(e) It is no defense to a charge of embezzlement, abstraction, or misapplication
of the funds of a national banking association thafcthe funds were used
with the knowledge and consent of the president and some of the directors.
The intent to defraud is to be conclusively presumed from the commission
of the offense.

(United States v. Taintor, 11 Blatch.,

374.)

(/) Where the president, charged as a trustee with the administration of the
funds of the bank in his hands, converts them to his own use without authority for so doing, he embezzles and abstracts them within the meaning
of section 5209,'Revised Statutes. (In the matter of Fan Camp en, 2 Ben., 419.)
(g) If, with intent to defraud the association, an officer allows a firm in which
he is a member to overdraw its account, he will be guilty of misapplying
the funds of the association. (Ibid.)
(h) As the national banking law makes the embezzlement, abstraction, or
willful misapplication of the funds of a national banking association
merely a misdemeanor, a person who procures such an offense to be committed can not be punished under a State statute which provides that a
person who procures a felony to be committed may be indicted and convicted of a substantive felony. (Commonwealth v. Felton, 101 Mass., 204.)
(i) An indictment charging defendants with aiding and abetting a director in
a willful misapplication of the money of an association must state facts
to show that there has been such misapplication committed by the director.
(United States v. Warner, 26 Fed. Hep., 616.)

(j) Allowing the withdrawal of the deposit of one indebted to the association
can not be charged as a misapplication of the money of the association.
(United States v. Britton, 108 U. S., 193.)

(k) It is not a willful misapplication of the moneys of the association within
the meaning of section 5209, Revised Statutes, for a president who is insolvent to procure the discounting by the association of his note not well
secured. (Ibid.)
(I) To constitute the offense of a willful misapplication of the moneys, funds,
or credits of the association within section 5209, Revised Statutes, it is
not necessary that the person charged with the offense should have been
previously in the actual possession of such moneys, funds, and credits
under or by virtue of any trust, duty, or employment committed to him.
Nor is it necessary to the commission of this offense that the officer making
the willful misapplication should derive any personal benefit therefrom.
When the funds or assets of the bank are unlawfully taken from its possession, and afterward willfully misapplied by converting them to the use
of any person other than the bank, with intent to injure and defraud, the
offense as described in the statute is committed. ( United States v. Harper.
33 Fed. Rep., 471.)

(m) This criminal act may be done directly and personally, or it may be done
indirectly through the agency of another. If the officer charged with it
has such control, direction, and power of management by virtue of his
relation to the bank as to direct an application of its funds in such manner and under such circumstances as to constitute the offense of willful
misapplication, and actually makes such direction or causes such misapplication to be made, he is equally as guilty as if it was done by his own
hands. (Ibid.)
(n) Any entry on the books of the bank which is intentionally made to represent what is not true or what does not exist, with intent either to deceive
its officers or defraud the association, is a false entry within the meaning
of the statute, (United States v. Harper, supra.)




126

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

1. UNDER UNITED STATES LAWS—Continued.

(o) It may be made personally or by direction. (Ibid.)
(p) The erasure of figures already written in the books of a national bank and
the substitution of other figures which falsify the state of the account constitute a "false entry" within the meaning of section 5209, Revised Statutes, by which it is declared to be a misdemeanor to make " any false entry
in any book, report, or statement of the association, with intent to injure
or deiraud," etc. (United States v. Crecclius, 34 Fed. Bep., 30.)
(q) Where false entries are made by a clerk at the direction of the president,
the latter is a principal. (In the matter of Van Campen, supra; United States
v. Fish, supra.)
(r) Prior to the act of February 26, 1881, a notary public holding his commission under a State had no authority to administer the oath required by section 5211, Revised Statutes; and therefore a cashier vyho made oath before
such notary to a false statement of the condition of his association was not
guilty of perjury. (United States v. Curtis, 107 U. S., 671.)
(s) To constitute the offense of willful abstraction by an officer, defined by the
statute, it is necessary that the money or funds of the association should
be withdrawn by the officer or by his direction; that such taking or withdrawing should be without the knowledge or consent of the bank, or of its
board of directors; that the money or funds so taken or withdrawn should
be converted to the officer's own use, or for the benefit and advantage of
some person other than the association, and that this should be done with
intent to inj ure and defraud the association. (United States v. Harper, supra.)
(t) A report of condition of a national bank, whether called for by the Comptroller of the Currency or not, which is a report in the usual form made by
an officer of the bank in his official capacity, if it contains a false entry
made with intent to deceive, is within Revised Statutes, United States, section 5209, which declares such false entries to be a misdemeanor. (United
States v. Eughitt, 45 Fed. Hep., 47.)
(u) Where false entries were made by a bookkeeper in a statement requested
by a national bank examiner purporting to give the balance due todepositors, which statement it was the duty of the examiner to make and not the
bookkeeper,v an indictment for making " false entries in a statement of the
association will not be sustained. ( United States v. Eqe, 49 Fed. Rep., 852.)
(v) In an indictment of an officer of a national bank under section 5209, Revised Statutes, United States, for making false entries in a report to the
Comptroller of the Currency, it is no defense that such entries were made
by a clerk and verified by the officer without actual knowledge of their
truth, since it was his duty to inform himself. ( United States v. Allen. 47
Fed. Bep., 696.)
2. UNDER STATE LAWS:

(a) An officer of a national banking association can not be punished under State
laws for embezzling the funds of the association. (Commonwealth ex rel.
Torrey v. Ketner, 92 Penn. St., 372; Commonwealth v. Felton, 101 Mass., 204.)
(b) But where the offense committed by an officer is properly a larceny of the
funds, and not an embezzlement, he may be indicted under a State law.
(Commonwealth v. Barry, 116 Mass., 1.)
(c) And an officer may be punished under State laws for making false entries
in the books of the association with intent to defraud it. (Luberg v. Commonwealth, 94 Penn. St., 85.)
(d) The officers of a national banking association may be prosecuted under
State statutes for fraudulent conversion of the property of individuals deposited with, and in the custody of, the association. (Commonwealth v.
Tenney, 97 Mass., 50; State v. Fuller, 34 Conn., 280.)
3. TERM " U N I T E D STATES CURRENCY" IN PENAL STATUTES:

The circulating notes of national banking associations are included in the
phrase " United States currency" when used in a penal statute. (State v.
Gasting, 23 La. Ann,, 1609.)
