By the people of Illinois on tic first Monaoy nc
august, 1897
Ii would seem from this, that the people had
pronounced verdict upon the Veto message7
withom erer reaoing it, For my part, do not
believe The people oi Limos have pronounced
anv verdict on the subject. Ii they have, the
verdict has been against he Veto, and i'll favor
of the Bank of The United States, as | shall
show.
The people have reelected Gen. Duncan to
Congress by large majority. He u0s against
the Veto; for in his late Circular is the iol.owng
pass GO
"a bill has passed The Senate for renewing the
charter of the Bank u he United States which
will probably pass he House OF Representatives
If there is time to act upon it, This institution
is one of great use to the Government, in COLI
Letting and safely keeping the pubic moneys,
and in sending il, without risk and expense to
any part of the country where it may be requir-
led for the public service. l. has put down all of
the swindling banking institutions that few
years ago were issuing, and passing off upon the
people, millions OF spurious bank notes, without
specie or capital of any kind to redeem them. 1t
produced uniform currency throughout The
country, SO that citizen Of one state can travel
into another, without suffering loss in the ex-
change Of his money Citizens of The old states

ern district, so far as they have pronounced any.
La the southwestern district, Mr.. Slade is
elected to Congress. have misiald his address
10 the voters; but | perfectly recolIect that he
said something about the Bank, and that he was
a good deal more for it tban against 1t. The
other candidates Tor Congress in that district,
who held any thing ike respectable poll, were
known to be in favor of the Bank.
La the eastern district, Gov. Casey is elected.
Has any body ever heard HIM express opposition
10 The Bank of the United States? hink not
Nor do believe that either of the other candi-
dates in The district were opposed to it.
81 much for the Verdict"
Let the editor of the Advocate set down the
names of all the candidates for Congress, in this
state, opposed to the Bank, together with the
number Of votes received b. them, land subtract
the aggregate from the number given to all The
other candidates; and then he can tell what the
peoples perd,ct is.
Those who have lived in Illinois for the last
fifteen years, have lively recollection of ;he
Shin plaaters. and Owl Greek bilIs and Parkers-
bwgh bills, and Kentucky Insurance bills, and
Vincennes bank bills, and EdwardsuiNe bank 5;lls,
and grocery store bills, and barbers' shop bills,
and cut money, and Illinois state paper, and Com
mon'oeaht bank Paper, &c. &c. &c &C. which
have disappeared through the influence of the
Bank OF he United States, as the noxlous vapors
of the oig't are dissipated by the renovating
beams VI the sun.
Les the Bank of the United States 90 down,
and we shall have no more "round specie" or
United Safes Bank bills in the West-but, in
leu of them, we shall have retura of the mis-
erable trash above described, or of that which is
~ )rse.
When the people of Illinois are mad enough
to prefer that trash to the safe and uniform cur
rency which they now enjoy. they mag, we ex-
pect they wiU pronounce 'rerdict'' against the
Bank of the United States
