MoNoroLy BANKiNG.- Besides the abuses
that naturally grow out Of the possession Of
the power 10 monopolize in banking, there
ere certain diseases to which the system is
subject, which become the more acute and
incurable, the more oyerstrained and unnatu-
raj the system itself. These complaints are
called panics," and the memory Of their pre-
valence is yet fresh in the mind of every busl-
ness man in the United States. Engendered
by over-issues Of the banks and fed by the
feeling on the part Of the people that there is
no adequate security provided, by law, for the
redemption of those issues, they have swept
over the land carrying contagion in their pro-
gress. Commencing with institutions OF
doubtful credit, they have, in their course de-
stroyed the credit Of all that was good and
permanent, until the entire business OF the
country fell before them, leaving nothing but
ruined prospects and desclation Of spirit
worse than the devastations Of fire or storm
Evils of ,his kiud should be guarded against
There is no security in system that affords
them food or encouragement. The time has
come whenthe developement of the great nat
ural resources of this country requires the Gre
alton of a credit currency such as never before
has been demanded, and the necessity of confl-
dence in that currency, to ensure its useful
ness cannot be too strongly urged. The sys-
ten, is deficient that we now have. 1t Is toe
moor to patch. Interference with vested
rights is hazardous. There is no need OF 1t,
for the present banks will soon expire by liml-
tat,on. It's easy enough to see what should
bs done. Begin at the proper place, by Sc
curing the bill-holder, and what convulsion-
what disaster can generate a. panic? Is the
merchant in panic, when bis store that is in
sured to the full amount, il burning over his
head! Will the blll-holder be in panic when
the bank stops payment, if he knows there is
an ample fund beyond the reach of the banker
secured for the payment of all demands! Nc
panic has ever existed without an exciting
cause. Take away, then, the cause of excite
ment, and the effects are banshed forever.
