TO THE EDITORS OF THE ENQUIRER.
Your paper OF the 18th instant contains Editorial
ticle, under the head Of "Reminscences in which you
give an account Of the pressure and panic in the year
1871 produced by the winding up OF the old Bank Of the
U. g.; and you close that account by saying The Con-
gress stood fastpu down the Bank and saved the Con-
stitu'ion They piH do so again.

have continued their "Reminiscences" TO period some
what later than 1871 and have ted its readers what

the Revenue between 1911 and 1915! Did not almost
every State Bank In the Union suspend specie pay.

notes and bills at most exorbiant and alarming dis

the State Banks, between those pcriods' And were
such exchanges negotiated reasonable terms? Did

we have anticipated our reply TO our Friend from

expensive and embarrassing war which brought

Madison did not, we recollect, place his nc

Interpretation of the Constitution ought to be fix
