BANKS

The prejudice in the public mind against banks
and banking is such, that while one party is con-
slant and Inscriptions in their denunciation,
the other, aware of the prejudice, says not a
word in their defence. Is 1t surprising that, u H.
der such circumstances, prejudice is daily in
creasing and has become one of the most potent
engines of political influence? 1t is to be re-
GREETED that no one has come forward, to place
this subject in its proper light before the coun-
try, and especially to show the practical effects
of banks and banking its business, labor,
industry and general prosperity.
That banks and banking liable to great
abuses, and that their usefulness depends upon
the honesty and ability with which they are ad-
ministered is admitted-and the same is true of
every good. This is one of the fixed laws, by
which blessings are dispensed to man. They are
blessings or not as they used. The air we
breathe-the water which allays our thirst, the
fire which warns our breath, and the food which
nourishes our bodies, are, each and all, indis-
pensable to our existence; without them we
could not live, yet either of these blessings, so
necessary to us, may be so used as to do us injury
Is that an argument against their user Is that
reason why we should resolve that we would
no longer use the air, the water, fire or food?
What would be thought of a parent who, be-
cause his beloved child was drowned, refused
ever thereafter to drink water? Yet, his case
would be precisely the same as that of the labor
ing man, who unites in political war on the
Banks because one of them has been dishonest or
unfortunate.
We propose to discuss this subject, to reason
with the laboring man, and to demonstrate that
the Destrrtctiues, those who would now enlist
all his passions and preudices against the banks,
are the authors and abetors of the greatest abuses
that have been perpetrated, under the system;
and that the war which they have waged against
the banks and banking, is political scheme to
retain their places; regardless of the effect which
their measures may have on your interests or
the general prosperity of the country.
As the Destructives have leveled their Sc
verest maledictions agsinst the bank of the Uni
ted States, and mass of prejudice against
that institution, has accumulated in the public
mind, we give them every advantage when we
take that bank to illustrate how unjust is the
war, and how false are the means by which it
has been carried on. And to do this, we will
take up the prominent charges made against that

Bank, and answer them by statement of facts:
In the first place, the prominent charge, and
that most fruitful of prejudice is that the Bank is
British Bank Now what are the facts? 1t
appears by report made to the Legislature of
Pennsylvania by the Auditor General of Penn
sylvania, that the persons owing stock in this
bank, are in number, 4,S33
OF whom there are residing in the IT, S. 1888
In Great Britain and ireland, 1854
This is conclusive answer to this calumny.
It proves that the administration of the bank is
not under the control of foreign stockholders. 1t
proves that so far from its being British bank,
it is American Bank. Upon this point, we
will have more to say hereafter; we come to an
other SANDER.
1t is charged that the Bank is owned by the
nobility of England
The same document gives, as above, whole
number of stockholders, 1888
The nobility holding stock are Earls
Marquises.
Counts and Countcsses,
Lords, 8
Knights Barons and Baronets, 2S
making altogether az
Yes! this is the official report of this Bank!
Is there a single reader of the Globe who is not
asstonished at the truth? Is there one who does
not see that the purpose of the Globe, is to get
up false clamor against the Bank; and we
would ask every one for what purpose2 No
man prefers falsehood to truth, when the truth
will best serve him. And the fact that the organ
of aparty, paid and sustained by them, labors to
mislead public opinion by false information, is,
or should be, conclusive against them.
Again; an attempt has been made to create
an impression that this bank was in the posses
sion of few British Mobiles and their agents
in the United States The same document shows
that SO far from this being so, the stockholders
reside in almost every European and American
