A PREDIcTIoN VERIFIEp.-Mr. Web
s'er, in his great speech. upon the Sub
Treasury Bill in 1887 predicted a Sc
cond suspension Of Tee Banks if the gov
eminent should continue its war upon
them. The following was his language :
Strive may tnlk as much as we please
about the resumption Of specie payments,
but ltel you that, with Government thus
warning upon the banks, if resumption
should take place. ANOTHER SUSPENSION
FEAR WOULD FOLLOW. 1t Is not war sue
ceesiul or unsuccessful, between the Gov.
ernmcnt and the banks it Is only PEACE,
TRUST, CONFIDENCE, that can restore the
prosperity Of the country This system
Of perpetual annoyance to the banks, this
boarding up Of money which the country
demands for it's own necessary uses, this
bringing oflhc whole revenue to act,not IN
AID and FURTHERANCE, but in DIRECT
HINDRANCE AND EMBARRAssMENr OF
