WASHINGTON Sent On 1897

WASHINGTON, Sept %, 1887.
For the last hundred years credit has been admitted
as element in commerce and the dealings of men,
The world slow in acting upon this admission
Even threefourhs of the nations Of the earth dis
card il from their usagcs Among those peo.le where
has hourshed to the greatest extent the mos, extend
ed progress in all the social has been the
quence And yet in the year 1887, crusade has been
foot by some political aspirans to hunt il down
and IL out from institutions. This Is the real
design Of the waging against the State Banks
and of the proposition to receive nothing in payment of
public Dues but gold and silver This began in the
attack upon the United States Bank. The great pitch
battle will soon be fought The generals either side
will not have their forces disposed commence
the actien this extra sitting Of Congress. nthe Senate
we have, every day, saes, skirnishes, ambuscades,
and springing Of mines. Now and then bomb up
from either side, explodes without injury
Such is the state Of our commercial legislation
present The great question isshall credit be- not
be- an element in our future commercial and financial
potyf The first step towards destroying il is to be
found in the disposition manifested by the covers.

rnadge showed very concusively today, IN most able
speech that the real intent of the of the divorce
amendment and his supporters, Thomas Benton and

that to effect this he began with the government As
the government does will every body else do with
this difference, that the former act quickly while
the latter slowly, and mast experience all the
evils result from change Of the habits of naten
Every act the party an power now reinforced by the
the powerful accession Of Mr. Calhoun tends to 60 back

In the furious strife engendered against the bank
