MIR. WALLS REMARKS ON THE BILL
TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED
BANKING
In senate, FEp. 18Th, IeS

In senate, FEB. 18th, 1889.
The Bill 70 prevent Unauthorized Banking
was returned from the House Of Representatives
to the Senate, with an amendment. d proviso,
that the act should not apply to any association
or banking company, now in operations which
rcdeenis all or any part Of its notes in specie.
MIR. WALL said that ho hoped the Senate
would reject the amendment, | was, said Mr.
Wall, one Of the warm supporters Of the origin
al bill, and had rather see the bill defeated en-
tirely. than to pass with this inequitors, unjust
and exclusive privilege permission cngrafted in
TO it--this amendment authorises and legalzes
all the unauthorized shinplaster establishments
in the State, to 60 on and sw;ndle with impuni..
~ lis intended "a operate ass etcam loco.

motive, to which tho car Of the currency Of Mis-
sissippi is to be chained, that will drag il still
down further 70 The disgrace 81 the State.
Ncscnator upon this floor can be SO stupid as
not to see at the first glance, that it will tolerate
all the swindling shinplaster companies now in
existence, and punish individuals for the same
act.
Incorporate this amendment into the bill, and
3 enemies would be able to turn their oppvsi-
ton to good account, and cast all the odium
upon its friends. Had they have been So well
skilled in amending bills, as some of them are
in issuing shinplasters, and cheating the laborer
out of his hard earnings, this amendment would
have been dressed over in some better style.
The object Of the trainers Of the original bill
was TO place the whole shinplaster corpse upon
the same footing, and drive the whole of this
Locust gentry from the State, who are now Fat.
tening upon the hard earnings of the laboring
class of the country. Individual notes circulate
only in limited sphere, while large comp=nies
drive out their irredeemable paper and flood the
country, by dcceptiously paying redeeming
their small issues for limited time, and then
Block the Game and divide the profits.
There ID no man, Mr.. President, who knows
any thing of banking operations, who docs not
know, that the bank notes of no State in this
Union will stand fair abroad, while the state is
flooded with so many worthless rags-and now
is the time, while the chartered banks Of this
state are rcsuming, to assist public opinion in
driving them from the country.
And call upon those Senators who made
common cause with me at the opening of this
Session, to restore the currency Of this State,
las far as Legislative action would CO. toward
accomplishing that much desired object, to rally
around the original bill, and save it from its en-
cmies. And never let it be said that the lobby
influence some half dozen unauthorized bank
ing companies has deferred us from doing. that
which believe to be duty owe to my God
and my country--though, at this moment they
have wealth, influence and power, and were |
to Judge from what have seen, Mr. President,
since or during the discussion of this bill, one
would nationally suppose, that no man could
withstand their influence.
Yet | well know that the ydomanry Of the
country are the Bone and Sinew of the land, and
to them am responsible, and not to the lobby
influence of this Chamber

A MOTHERS LOVE.

30, how unutterably sweet her joy!
o, how indessolubly firm the chain,
Whose links Of love entwine Mothers heart. -
Picdyune
The great author Of our existence has
planted in woman's heart the seeds of ten
der love and affection:
-twhicb must spring forth at length,
Grow with her growth, and strengthen with
her strength"
Bringing forth towards relatives and
friends, some ten, some thirty and some
fifty; but towards SON, an hundred fold.
From infancy TO age, from the cradle to
the grave, The mothers love is the same:
"Ero yet her child has drawn its earliest
breath,
A mothers love begins; il glows till death;
Loves before life; with death not dies; but
seems
The very substance of immortal Dreams"
In the palace or in the prison, the same
pure flame is observable, prosperity cannot
dim the lustre of the mothers love, nor
can adversely blunt its edges shame,
it conceals; in pain it m:tigates lit ele-

"Last at the cross, and earliest at the grave"

mans had crutificd him, the weeping MO.

SUB-TREAsURY.-The cry of mad-dog
raised against this project by its enemies,
in order to sink it in the peoples opinion,
has lost all its effect. The dust raised TO
prevent The subject from being seen in its
true light, is fast passing away before po-
pular investigation. The opposition new
er attempted to oppose this measure by
argument. They never met it by reason
ing; if we except such reasoning and ar
gument as zone money for the govern
ment and another for the people," and
other such slang as pitiful as it is alb
surd and contemplate. Is not the people
and the government enc and the same; if
not, VIII some Of our all talented gentry
draw the mark--make the distinction p
Have We government distinct from the
peopleG Do the people not govern them
selves? Is not the money of the govern
ment the peoples money? Can the gov
crnment officers be supplied with silver or
gold without affording greater supply to
the people in their business transactions,
thon i they were paid in shinplastersf--
We think not. If the government consent
TO take ahinplastcrs in payment for their
dues, they encourage the system; there
fore set bad example.
The party that oppose this Treasury
plan say it 'Mas defeated, and that it was
not under its salutary operations that the
banks resumed, and the country was re-
stored to its wanted activity and healthful
business action. Yet, strange to tell! they
will in the same breath tell you that all
the losses ofthe people have been through
the Sab-Treasury officers! They will tell
you Of "Sub-Treasurers with legs" at the
same time they are using all their inAu-
encc TO prevent the passage of such laws,
as will guarantee to the people the safety
of their money. But the two legged Sub
TreasureFs iioppen to be Wings, therefore
they want no laws passed by which they
can be punished. Every one knows the
politics Of, not Sub,Trcasurer, but the
State Treasurer of this Commonwealth,
who acted with the public money much
as l5wartwout has done.
This same Swartwout is Wing, and
that is tho reason the federal press tries
SO hard to excuse him, and throw the
blame on the shoulders of the government,
Regarding his Whiggery, the 'Louisvlle
Advertiser" says: SNOW we happen to
know that Mr.. Swartwout was opposed to
Mr.. Van Buren, in 1894. This fact we.
had from his own mouth. We also know
that in 1856, he signed an address to the
people Of New York, of the most yiruIent
character against the Administration
and from that time to. the hour of his de-
parturc for England, he was jealous and
open laborer in the ranks of the OPPOSE
ton. These truths cannot be successful
ycontroverted.n
