that has been settled by the judicial tribunals,
that, where bond has been illegally gwen up by
the officer holding ii on the part of the United
States, the debt was not discharged.
Why, then this Outcy on the part Of those who
assume to be the exclusive supporters OF these
laws and the Constitution Had the President
authorized IL collectors aud receivers of the pub

and duties the bills of broken banks. can there be
any question about the course which would have
been pursued by those who rancorously oppose
the administration He would have been unques-
tionably and justly lmpeached.
The National bank Gazette of Friday last, in
alluSlon to the reported steps taken by the COec-
tor of New York as to receiving bank notes for
duties, broadly lnsInuates the consequences oi
such breach of laws. But il seems that on this,
as on MANY other occasions, that the bank organ
was runDing upon false scent. Mr. Swartwoul,
as appears by the New York American itself, an
opposition paper, refused to violate his oath of Of
nee, Notwithstanding le preposterous statements
attributed to him in the wing newspapers.
The pecunary difficulties teltby the merchants,

Jointly pursued by them and the banks, are no
doubt very unfortunate. Railing against the
Government cannot diminish them. In times Of
difficulty ard disaster, recriminatIon and refec-
ton upon others, as to the causes which have pIc-
duced them, or the indulgence of unavaIllng re-
grets, Can produce little Iehef. In untowad CIR
cumstances, II is the duty of every individual, who
has the heart Of man in his BOSOM to face mis-

PREssuREs OF lsl9--ls25-ls33-lS2T.-
The following article from The North Carolina
Journal OF April 27th, recalls facts which every
democratic paper ought TO place before the eyes
of his readers.
II Is now vocifera,ed by the bank wings. that
the L easury order has made the distress OIL
1897, and that nothing can relieve the distress
but the rechar,er of the Bunk of the United
States.
The article from the North Carolina Journal
shows that we have had four of these pressures
during the existence OF that Bank, and that SO iar
from preventing, it has been the mum cause OF
each and every one OF them.
That Bank was chartered in 1916, and by It's
expansions II made the disastrous commissions
and destruction Of banks aud property in 1919.
BY its connections with the Bank OF England,
il involved commerce IN the fate Of the English
banks in 1926, when another distress and pres
sure came On.
G>ln 1888 it made the panic and pressure on

and to compel the restoration OF the deposltes and

The pressure OF 1887 is the fruit Of reckless

loans and the circulation oil that bank in 1885.

Extract cf a letter rcctired in his city. dated
NEW YORK, MAY rs, 1897.

NEW YORK, MAY rs. 1897.
"There is no doubt now Of the cause Of our
general bankruptcy. No man who is open TO
convection noW denies il. IL is the false trade BY
which men, who were clerks ten years since, have
imported and sold from half ion TO tM mill
ions Of foreign goods, which the country did not
want. when here, they would only sell On credit.
Those who purchased goods on credit, took them
home, where purchasers we're also temptedto buy,
not because they required them, but because they
TOO could get them on credit, Notes were taken
these notes were discounted and the proceeds in
vested, not in farms, oh no, but in torn lois, in
cities, in woods, autographed cities. Pay day
came--the goods were gone-the notes were
gone, and the country merchant had only his
town lots in the woods--his debt to the merchants
was unpaid--the merchants debt to the English
banker was unpaid These bankers are now the
foreign creditors. The true course of drawing
upon bill u ladng and invoice was quite too
slow, and indeed very announcement TO men who
had no bill OF ladIng or invoice TO forward. The
greedy English bankers therefore, opened cred
1t, with which this immense amount Of goods was
bought, imported, and sold again on credit, and
finally disposed OF as above. MIR. BIDpLE says
our honor is at stake--the nation has worn their
clothes and should pay for them. Now, pro-
test against this most unwanantable effort TO IA
Their the wild specualions Of merchants without
capital, and greedy English bankers upon the
whole nation. Il is unsound philosophy thus to
make the whole country responsible for the spec
ulations of these two classes. The British debt
did not arise in the prosecution ola legitimate
trade. The English bankers were greedy for
large commissions, and good open credits to en-
courage speculation. Many men, who few
wears ago, had not ten thousand dollars capital,
and who could no. have sent bill Of lading, have
imported and sold FIVE hundred thous and dollars
worth Of goods, which man, who had to pay on
equivalent for them, would not have sent for, un-
less the demand would have insured him sound
purchaser at short credit. This forced trade
gave fictitious prosperity to the country, but It
Is an affair between the British banker and bis
| conference.-the nation has nothing to do with
il. The goods ore gone--the money is paid a.
way for lands; and foreign debt never will be
paid, and never ought TO be paid, for the best
reasons. Those who owe It, ha, e got nothing
to pay il with, and those who do not owe il, are
under no obligation to pay il, merely because the
creditor lives thirty days sail across the water.--
As soon as this truth is realised. by the British
creditors. things win recover when they reconcile
to themselves to put up with loss which trading
on false principles has produced--business viii
