MoNrPELIER, 2 Nov 1888
DEAR SIR-1he Legislature have been engaged
principally for several days past in discussing the
question relative TO the chartering and echartering
of Banks. Many of the charters of the old Banks
are now expiring, and il would seem Indispensable,
if we would prevent another season of pressure and
arrangement o! The currency, that some principles
should be settled upon which these institutions
shall be kept in existence Every sensible member
of both political parties admits this bn, there are
few ultra politicians, more deslrous of making
this question hobby for Office, than study the
public good, who are continually throwing obsta-
cles in the way of a sound legislation, and endeav-
oring by every sophism and artfce TO break down
the SYSTEM and it being bject little understood,
The widest and most extravdgant propositions are
not nnfrequenly entertained, till their ialacy is ex-
posed by those better experienced. will only OBJ.
serve that there is full determination by the sage
and experienced members of The House TO charter
no banks except terms by which the public
will be secure and satisfied and at the same time to
resist all those wild schemes which for political
purposes are urged. and which, If adopted will
close up every bank in the State Ealy in the
session resolution was adopted by the House that
IT would not charter re-charter any banks unless
large restraints and checks were imposed beyond
those heretofore existing in accordance with this
resolution the following principles have been set
tied by the Houses
]. Making all charters subject the action of any
future Legislature.
2 Making them subject to the provisions of a
general Banking Law.
3. That law (now passed) provides that Directors
of banks shall not be indebted individually in a
greater amount than $4,000 salutary provision
inasmuch in all cases of bank failures it has
TRANSFERRED that the Directors had distracted large
sums for purposes of speculation.
d. That stockholder shall borrow on the
pledge Of his stock.
s. That the banks shall not choose as here tofore
part Of the Board of Commit sioners but that
the Commissioners appointed by the Legislature
shall make rigid and frequent examination of the
concerns of the bank and publish the same.
g. Making the excessive issue of Bills by the Of
ficers of the bank, State Prison offence.

Elspenth 3anaal Fair Of the american IaStitute.-
We NAV expect rich treat in the intellectual ac-
com paniment ct this national anniversary, Gov
ernor Davis of Massachusetts, now Senator IN
Congress, has accepted the invitauon to deliver the
Annual address to the Members. II" man IN the
nation possesses clearer views of he true policy ot
this country than Gov. Da"is. He has always nd
vocated The Protecting System.-tie from the com
mencement has seen that the want Of an adequate
protecting tariff to coun,eract foreign bountIGs, du
ties and prohibitions must necessarily confer on
foreign labor, advantages prcludcal TO our own.
Thai II must reduces the value of our labor aud de-
grade the industrious producer OF our country Can
not every manufacturer aud mechanic IN our conu-
try perceive by sing glance that II our tariff OF
protection is repealed, and II the productions OF for
eign manufactures and workshops come INTO our
markets free of duty, that labor must necessarily be
reduced to Il level, or nearly so, with the cnunItos
from which such productions come! Ii me press
in our commercial Cries is silent, or indIte ent or
dismissed ia favor such condition of things, should
the country journals follow inc example: II tle
city Journals will not or do not manfully advocate
the paramount interests of American industry, II -
additional reason for the presses of the country TO
sneak, and so speak as 10 he Understood.
Every candidate for Congress should on the sub
iget be- or known to be orthodox, and possess firm
ness aud ability defend his opinions.
Seasonable attention should be turned to this
point The year 1912 will give the finishing stroks
10 the Protective System if the existing law of Con-
gress shall then 60 into final effect
The industrious portion of our fellow citizens
