FOR REPRESENTATIVE,
Capt. ]. r. BURRUS.
FRANKLIN DAVIS, ESQ.

VINO increased the state Banks? who
made the shinplaster food? "Ascer.
tanned facts.'s
\ Mr.. Van Buren, in his famous ''Sherod
Williams Letter." in which he discourses at
such length upon the subject of banking and
finance, insist that the people, in forming
their conclusions and opinions, must rely
upon ''ascertatned .facts," rather than the
vague and uncertain theories and specula-
tons of politicians. Well, this is very good
doctrine, and so far we are decidedly Van
Buren, man. 'Ascertained facts' should be
the data and foundation of our conclusions.
So let us examine them while, and let dull
uncertain theorisms alone for the present.
The whig party complains of the present
administration, and we allege that they have
by their intermedlings with the finances of
the country, deluged the land with banks
bank paper-''promises to pay" and ire
deemable false money, making sea of shin
plaster currency, which has well nigh ruin
ed the agriculture and commerce of the
country. And they themselves acknow-
ledge that the great increase of banking in
the country is the cause of its ruin. But
the question seems not to be settled-'tat
sohose fault is the great increase of State
Banking!" The wings deny most positively
any participation in it. They say they have
ever been in favor of circumscribed state
banking, to something like its situation in
1929 or 80, with National Bank to keep
them within proper bounds. But State
Banks have increased enormously-fooded
the country with deprecated paper, uproot-
ed and overturned all the established usages
and forms of business; and brought the fruits
of industry to mildew and blasting. But
which party is at fault in this great increase
of banking! Let US take Mr.. Van Buren's
method and consult some 'ascertained facts. ,
The Secretary of the Treasury has ''ascer-
tanned" many very important 'facts" lately;
and not the least considerable are some which
relate to this subject, and which were re-
ported by him to Congress, the session before
last. The following table taken from his of
fetal reports, contains ''FAcTs" well worthy
the attention of the people.
In 1892 there were in the United States
but eleven banks with a capital of So 1885,
600 and in after years as follows:
The Yazoo City Whig and political register. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 183?-1840, 1839-08-16

bia thus in fact, asserting either that con.
gress could abolish slavery without paying
he master for his slave, or that congress
could tax the whole Union for the purpose
fof freeing the slaves in the District. He thus
IN truth, went 50 far a. toadvocate the right
OF the Federal Government TO effect Inter
nal Improvement in moral point Of view
even at the hazard of deluging the South
with human gore. Yet say his partizans,
he is no Federalist!
Mr.. Van Buren, processes to be the pink
and perfection of excessive democracy
Yet he has solemnly asserted that, 'the fur
ther power was removed from the people
the better" His decided opposition to uni
versal suffrage, so well known, well illus
tFates his inconsistency in this regard.
Mr.. Van Buren, was bitter enemy to
EGen. Jackson out of power. When the
General was in power, Mr.. Van Buren, be-
came distinguished for his servile, debasing
'sycophancy; the habit of which, indeed,
grew so strong with Mr.. Van Buren,, that
even after his own elevation to the presi-
dency, he could not help recommending
himself, by promising 10 "follow in the 70 t.
steps of his illustrious predecessor" He
thus evinced, not only his own want of in
dependence, but also his appreciation of the
Proclamation, Force Bill, the Dissolution
of the Cabinet, and the numerous acts of
tyranny which distinguished Gen. Jackson's
reign. Yet Mr.. Van Buren, is no Federalst,
and ought to be supported by NulIifers and
all independent men.
The maxim Of Mr.. Van Buren, and his
patty is, that "to the victors belong the
spoils." The greater the numbered Viciorss
of course, the smaller must be each victor's
respective portion of the spoiIs. Hence il
naturally follows, that instead Of wishing fol
national unanimity, nothing is desired be-
yond that bare majority which viii certainly
keep the victors in power. The monarchica
plan, then, Of governing by means of parties
and national discord, by elevating one party
at the expense of the depression of the other,
does, at this day, distinguish the admins
tration of the Federal Executive.
This plan was, if we mistake not, intro
duced by Henry VII, the first of the Tudor
line of kings; and was no doubt, designed
to achieve, as purpose, that which eventu-
ated from the execution of the plan, namely,
an increase Of royal or erecutiOe pOper.
The Yazoo City Whig and political register. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 183?-1840, 1839-08-16
q and in after Years as follows:

Now, here we have some very interesting
and important ..facts." The first United
States Bank continued up to 1911, when its
charter expired. At that time there were
in the country lightweight state banks
TIE second United States BaHs was charter
ed by President Madison in 1916. Leaving
an interval without National Bank of five
years, in which time state banks increased
from eighty -eight to two hundred and forty
six, being one hundred and iiffy-two.
From 1915 to 1880, during the continu-
ance of the last United States Bank, period
Of fourteen years, the state banks increased
from two hundred and forty-six to three hun-
