We have asserted, and the Enquirer has
agreed with us, that, "6anLL ErcI!ties" pros

We have charged, further, that the action of
the Government led TO these "bank facili.

press Instructions of the Treasury Depart
'nent 10 the pet banks, directing them to in.
crease their accommodations. We copy thai
instruction again:

HommoiatlorS as tuiH prOUe acceptable TO The
Ieopts, and safe to the Government
i'o show with what intention that nslruc-
sion was given, we copy again the following
letter from one of the pei banks, asking for
inofe deposiles:
"BuRLINGroS, JAN. 25, 1886.
Being located in the same place where a
branch o. The United States Bank was es
iablished, and as we are depoSte bank
where the branch has discontinued lis oper-
ailons. the Public seem to expect that we
would al once afford the same facilities and
accommodations that they enjoyed when the
branch was doing business. There has been
this expectation; usd- the consequence has
been that a gerry sensible change has taken
place, politically, in .tGOor Of The Government;
end, as it is our desire to strengthen these SEN
tinscntS, tee feel that IL as important to afford
20 our farmers and mechanics, the coming
spring, pretty extensive accomn odalion, es
peclaliy about the time ofthe ,oooE clip"
But there is still other evidence that the
Executive was privy and consenting TO the
oYerlssues OF The pets In the contract for
making the deposite in any bank, there was
condition expressed that the bank shall
make weekly report 10 the Secretary of the
treasury Of its condition. These report:
have e%an regularly made, and must have
npPriZed the Department OF the ruinous ca.
reer OF The banks. But it took no steps tc
arrest them no--they were acting UP 10 the
bond they were extending their acuommo
dallons 10 strengthen the sentiments Of tn,
People in favor of the Government, aud Il
enable political fayortes TO buy up the PUB

Mr.. Wise and others endeavored TO obtair
these weekly reports last winter, 10 ascertain
The safety OF the public money, and To know
what line oiconduct the pels were pursuing
Their efforts were Intellectual. The party il
the House, 05edient TO the orders of thej

can guess the cause. They knew that al

without any parallel; and il was necessar,
