It challenges the separation between the Bank’s “bank of issue” functions and ordinary banking operations, emphasizing that external authority and practical constraints are required to manage the currency effectively.

amongthe Bankers of England,and the influence whichyour name justly commands in favour of any opinionswhich you adopt,(not merely from your long practi-cal experience,but from the talents with which youenforce them,)induces me to submit the followingremarks,which your recent publication“On theManagement of the Circulation,and on the Condi-tion and Conduct of the Bank of England,and ofthe Country Issues during the year 1839,”hassuggested.  \nThe principle which you advocate is,that the Bankof England should possess the exclusive privilegeof issuing notes,and that her functions as a Bankof Issue should be under a separate managementfrom that of her ordinary banking business;but itis very obvious that the regulation of the currencycannot be separated effectually from its ordinarybusiness,unless an authority external to that of theBank controls the former.You point at such con-trol,but have probably thought it premature todefine your views upon it.Others have pointed  \n2  \nto Parliamentary Commissions,a fixed amount ofPaper Issues,&e.,&c.,as the means of attainingthe end in view.Even if the principle was ad-mitted,I suspect the great practical difficulty wouldbe found in the constitution of the controlling power.But in order that the reader of these pages mayhave your views before him,I think it proper togive the following extracts,which seem to me toexplain them,in so far as you have judged proper todescend to particulars.  \n“The convertibility of the notes of the Bank wasto be secured by regulating the amount of theissues with reference to the state of the ForeignExchanges;and the increase or diminution of goldin the hands of the Bank was to be taken as theonly certain and safe test of the favourable or un-favourable state of the Exchanges;consequentlythe amount of her paper issues was to vary with adirect reference to the fluctuations in the amount ofbullion in the possession of the Bank.”  \n“It was proposed to take‘the period of a fullcurrency,and consequently a par of Exchange,'andto invest and retain in securities two-thirds of theavailable funds of the Bank,and to hold the remain-ing third in coin and bullion.This being done,theBank was thenceforth to retain the aggregateamount of the securities unaltered,and whateverdemand might arise from the action of the public inpresenting notes for payment was to fall exclusivelyupon the coin and bullion.All that principle re-quired appeared by th","cbCaivwAlfWtZB7p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivwAlfWtZB7p","pdf",1425594,24,"English","# Technical
