MISSISSIPPI DOCTRINES RESPECTING
BANKS. .

We noticed in our last, that the Legislature
Of Mississippi, had passed by constitutional
majority of both houses, in defiance of the
veto of the Governor, bill to release the
banks from damages on protested paper &c.
In the House the vote overruling the veto,
stood 81 yeas, and nays; and in the Senate
l6 to 5.
On reading this account of the proceedings
of the Legislature of Mississippi, our recollec-
ton was carried back to the language oftheir
Senator (Mr. Walkcr) when the bill entitled,
" An act designating and hmiting the funds
receivable for the revenues OF the United
States'' was under consideration in February,
1897. From the speech Of that gentleman on
that occasion we make the following quota
ton -
"Ifthe Senator from Missouri could, by his man
date in direct opposition to the views OF me flesi
dent heretofore expressed, sweep from existence an
the banks of the States, and establish MS exclusive
constitutional currency of gold and silver, he would
bring upon this country scenes OF ruin and distress
without parael-an immediate bankruptcy Oh
nearly every debtor and OF almost every creditor 10

citation in the price of all property, and an immedi-
ate cessation BY States and individuals ofneafy eve
~ work of private enterprise or public Improvement
The country would be involved in one universal
Bankruptcy and near the grave of the nations pros
peri,y, would perhaps repose the scattered fragments
Of those great and glorious institutions which give
happiness to millions here and hopes to millions
| more of discnthralment from despotlc power"
These statements we regarded, at the time
they were delivered, as we now do, worthy oil
statesman, patriot, and lover and sup
porter of his country and its institutions.
1t has been with no small degree of sur
prise. that we have observed the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Walker since, in giving his sup
port to measure which, we fully believe, II
successful, will inhict on the country and its IN
! s,tutions, all the evils which he declared
would follow the " mandate of the Senator
| from Missouri in case he could enforce it.
Respecting some of the hard money views
expressed by Mr.. Benton, and their opera
ton, MIR. Walker thus inquired:
| What right had he, an humble serram Of hsFsop's
of Mississippi 10 say his any Other STATE LcR'S

WAR OF LoCO-FoCOIsM AGAINST THE
a-8. BANKS.

We take the following from the las, Hartford Pa
triot and Democrat. H.,
The passages quoted from the Times, bear
strong affinity to the speeches of one of the Connec
ticut Senators lately published in the Globe.
s-PWe have noticed that the Hartford Times
and other Loco-foco papers, now that the ruin and
desolation their destructive principles have occasion
ed is becoming apparent othe people, are beginning
to deny that they ever hostile to the banks
favored the Sub-reasury scheme because it was cal
culated to injure banks But the people, fortunate
ly, have not such "yery short memories as to forget
all they have heard" from these journals for the last
year or two. The Times, in commenting upon the
Bank Convention which was held last fall in the city
of New-York, makes the following becoming re-
marks
The faith of promises, the obligation of con-
tracts and the preceplS of morality are totally dsre
gGrded By The banks. Every bank note in circulation
is LIE The banks hare set the iaaos at defiance, and
PUBLIC INDIGNATTON and the MOST CO
ERCiVE MEASURES aoiH alone compel them TO
do their duty" .a..,..
This meeting of tie most CORRUPT and
DANGEROUS ASSOCIATIONS that can aflct
Republican country, is in every point of view to
be deprecated"
"The people will be PLUNDERED so long as
they submit 10 this SHAMELESS INJUSTICE. Their re-
dress is in themselves, and every bank charter
should be declared forfeited if it does not pay its
Does this language exhibit any hostility to banks,
or show any disposition 10 overthrow them We
leave il for the people to answer.
But further. In the Times of February 7th we
find the following remarks relative 10 the Sub,lrea-
sury bill and its effects upon the country, provided it
becomes a law. @2.@
''The sub-treasury bill must pass; Attic BANKS
MUST NECES.SARILY FAIL. They mua-and
all the people will say-they SHALL GO DOWN.
The instant this occurs, private banking associa
tons, with an abundance Of real property, fully
secured and sustained by CAPITALISTS OF the highest
responsibility, will take their place.
Such are what the Times calls the 9 Interior OBJ
jects" of the patriotic SubtreaSury BILL 1t is to
destroy ALL THE BANKS, and TO put the money power
into the hands of the National Government and Of a
few favored Capitalists Of the highest respectable
a." This is Loco-focoism, not Democracy. We
entreat The people to consider these things We call
upon men Of business in all the various branches of
industry-the real working -men--to what an is
sue this scheme of the General Government is pre-
senting- Gold and Sitper for the Government, and
the people ground down under monopoly of pri-
vae Bankers and CAPITALISTS Of the highest respec
liability.

In heenty of the above counties, Van Buren, and
Marcy obtained majores in 1886 The remaining nine
counties gave Wing majortes in 1896. At the Town
Meetings 1887, the Loco Foco majority in these very
towns was quite as great the Wing majority now
obtained The Wing gam is therefore tremendous.
The cities of Utica, Rochester and Buffalo and the
village of Ithaca have held their Charter Elections all
Of which resulted auspiciousy. In Rochester, where
the Loco Focos in 1897 elected majority Of the Com
mon Council, the Wings in 1898, carried all the Wards

AaUEsTIoN OF TASTE.

In the address made TO the Senate yester-
day by Mr.. WALL, Of New Jersey, that Sc
naior took occasion, amongst his other argu-
ments in favor of the bill before the Senate,
to allude to the motto printed upon the title
page OF Mr.. TALLMADGE's late speech in de-
fence Of the people Of New York against the
charge Of bank influence in the result of their
election. In his learned researches, after
the pearls Of financial science, he had fished
up the motto of speech, and exhibited it to
the gaze Of the curious.
1t was profound discovery--startling ar.
gument Mr.. TALLMADGE, however, dis
claimed the motto, and remarked that he knew
nothing of il, and saw il not, until the pamphlet
copies of his speech came to him, all printed,
folded, stitched, and enveloped. He probably
did not think il sufficiently heinous violation
of good taste to require new edition, with the
motto expunged." But WE, the editor of
this paper, thinking with Dean Swift, that a
motto at the head Of composition, like star
IN horses forehead" " a pleasing insignia"
took the responsibility, and bethinking ourself
Of Shakespeare, ished up " on our own hook"
and inserted the jewel, by our own hand, and
at our own risk, in the tiara Of the title page.
We only regret that it should have caused
Mr.. Wall a sigh, or Mr.. Tallmadge an expla-
nation.

OCCUPATION OF LoCo-FoCo MEM
BEERS or CONGRESS-.
The Hartford Patriot and Denocrat

The Hartford Patriot and Democrat,
says -
We understand that the Hon. Isaac Toucey, the
member Of Congress from this District is engaged
Ia ranking printed letters his constituents signed
by himself, soliciting subscriptions from the citizens
OF Connecticut TO the Washington Globe. One good
democrat TO whom letter was Sent remarked 10 US
that he thought small business for our Representa-
lives in Congress 10 lower themselves into mere
agents for soliciting patrons for such newspaper as
the Washington Globe, as wellas gross peryerson
of the franking privilege. One of The letters is in
our office for the inspection Of the curious"
This is not news to US. We have been
aware, for some time, that the Sub Treasury
lies have been taxed by the editor Of the
Globe, by having sent to them, scores Of the
extra Globe with subscription paper in each,
for them to forward under their frank into their
districts to individuals to procure subscrip-
tions. We understand, that in some instances,
every Postmaster in an entire Congressional
district has been favored with these precious
documents.
We apprehend that all these efforts Of the
Globe and its partizans will be Of but little
avail tot it. The people are too enlightened
not to understand tho true interests of the
country, and are too patriotic to be driven or
seduced from sustaining them
The Globe appears not to be aware, that
the greater portion Of those Mho take a paper
and pay for il, possess more or less estate,
real or personal ard that few, if any Of them
will continue their support to paper whose
course has been and still is calculated to an
initiate our public institutions, and deterorate
the value of all and every kind Of property.

We really expect soon TO see the whole

We know that many of them openly express
their preference of q National Bank 10 the
State institutions. The alternative as II IS
presented by the. Loco-focos is, Sub-Irea-
sury or a National Bank. The alternative
we present is, the State banks or National
Bank. AS between the Sub-Treasury and
United States Bank, as much as we have
been opposed to the last, We do not hesitate
to express our preference for the latter before
the former
