BANKS BANKS ....I hear Of nothing but

and the effects which ara produced upon the
prosperity of the public. think nee ia Virginia
exhibit in oar own persons the i'll effects OF
banking principles, not sufficiently understood
We begin to understand them TOO well Wosld
to God we had as clearly seen our way halt Z
dozen years ago!
The great advantage Of banking capital is to
afford 4 temporary facility to those who possess
real capital. Our two great errors have arisen
from departure from this priRciple:
LIST. In lending out money OF accommodation
paper that Is 10 say, paper renewed from time
to time, nd hbitum: that is, money for q long
time, frequently TO carry on distant enterprises,
whose results are therefore very uncertaiu.
I'd. In lending out money Ito carry on such
pTojectS) tOmen without any reGIcdyifdi, or with
comparatively very little.
What is the consequence '....The widest
projects have been encouraged speculation in
articles OF produce, lots, buildings, carried TO
an enormous pitch sometimes the bubble
bursts the projsctor suffers, society feels il IN
all its complicated relations. Take along with
this the extTavagant expenses of living which
the facility Of banking has encouraged and
Pampered.
The projectors indeed cried out, that the
bank was niggardly in its dealings thatit re-
fused to encourage tile growth of the city, aud
the prosperity OF agriculture. They wOuld
have blamed the directOTs-but then the
banks ought TO have withstOOd the torrent OF
rcproach. Had they done this, they would
have done their duty.
These ideas are not new.-Ihe principle was
found out long before Virginia fcstercd bank
