Col. Stone succeeded the President in very an-
mated and pleasant speech. which we have not

ctr that Adam was the Inventor OF the pioash.

in ssgacity and self respect, If ne had depended

folloxinr article from the North Carolina Journal
Of Apdi 9th, recalls fact. which every democrat
c papers osght to place before the eyes Of his read
eIs.
/, is ,ow yocifcrated By the bank wings, that the
Treasury order has mada the distress Of 1897, and
laa, nothing can relieve the distress but the re-
charter Of the Bank OF the Uaited States.
The article from the North Carolina jourEs'
shows that We have had four OF these pressures
during the existence Of that bank, and that so far
| from preventing it has been the main cause OF
each and every one OF them.
| The bank was chartered in 1916, and by its ex-
| nansions il made the disastrous commissions and
destruction ofbanks and propary IN 1919.
By its connections with the bank Of England il
involved commerce in tbs fate Of the English
| banks in 1925, when anosher distress aud pres
svYc came on.
/ In 1893 il made the panic and preesars Oh pur-
\ nose 10 scourge the country into submission, and
10 compel the restoration Of the depositss ard the
| renewal Of its charter.
The pfessurs Of 1887 is the fruit Of reckless adj
venture and gambling adventure, Matched into cx-
1 iaence BY The enormous expansions Of the loans
1 and the circulation Of that bank in 1885.
| Facts pro-e that the Bank of the United States

| had since she was chartered; but to those who
i yociferatc for her re-ss.abshment A. = means
Of preventing these prossures, it is sufficient to re-
cali tho memory Of the fact that have had four
Of these pressures during her existence!
4 ft<y.Ws count the Bank Of the United States
rs being still in existence, for the Pennsylvania
law continues her as fully as ever, aud Mr.. Bdde
declared at the acceptance Of that charter that The
Il Bank pas stronger than ever! Such was his own
I'deelaration; and We all know that il Is mofe
lv.yad-'hss- Eyer. and more fatally bent upon
toubles.
