We extract lhe following account of
the times, aud The banks at Montgomery,
Alabuma, lre1n the Alabama Journal.
1--WE now believe that we are begin
ming TO leel the trials aud Consequences Of
the pressure OF 1887. Then we could
only anticipate them. Never in our recol-
lection, or III lnat OF the oldest inhabitants,
hashlontsoiuery experienced sucLa perieet
stasnauoH u business OF every kind, as at
the present time, a season too, when here
tof0re business has been Animated: and
frem the accounts which reach us of other
places,we perceive That il is the same with
all our Southern cities and towns. We
are daily hearing Of the suspension Of
Banks in other places, and where, We may
ask, are lhe difficulties to end! The
State of Alabama and the people have a
heavy debt hanging over them. Between
Ibis and The first day OF August next; IN
enormous amount OF The suspended debt
viii lall due 10 The banks, and how are
these debts to be paid! Where Is the mo-
ney 70 be obtained that is to cancel ihem?
Ihe Saaks are refusing all discounts, aad
il we are rightly informed, the Bank at
this place will have larger amount ofpa-
per due aud payable to it between this
and August next, than has aotes ia cir
culation-if then the other solvent Banks
in the State should be in 4 similar ceudi-
liou, the payment of this debt by the peo-
pie in Alabama currency would be ply
sical 'mpossibihty. This condition of the
Banks aud the people, is the Chief If uot
the only cause Of tue present state OF tMnss
amongst US, and this. mus, contiuue just
SO lous long as the presen, policy is pur-
sued We see The strait in which those
who direct the affairs. olthese institutions
are placed, and it butproHes 10 us The cor
rectnesS of our views, when VIC asserted
some mouths since that The Banks were.
resuming TOO soop. They have resumed
before themselves aud The people were
prepared for it, and complete suspen-
sion (not indeed OF specie paymeuts) but
of all banking business, aud all other busi.
ness fur which they furnished the medium
ofexcAause. has been yhe consequence.
