Although this article might be EXTENDED
10 great length, and made to bear y
many other ways, yet having done ina'
which we had in view, at the commence
ment, namely, to give the opinions Of the
present Van Buren, party on the subjects
Of Banks. and the Sub Treasury, which
were advanced by them, and on their be-
half few years ago, we shau conclude
with a few reflections on the relative value
of Bank paper, and Treasury Notes our
ING the period Of the late war. 1t wiu DC
perceived on reference to the article quo
ted from Mr.. Monroe, that on the 3ls1
August. 1914, when he was called to the
War Department, the sCertifcates ofthe
Treasury" or Treasury Notes, were sell
| ing at $50 on the 500 for Bank paper
when. too, the Banks were IN state OF
suspens sion. which suspension was brought
abont as Gen. jackson tells Us, IN the ar
ticle quoted FROM him, by their efforts to
aid the government in prosecuting the
war, He says: @At the hazard OF then
, existence, they (the banks) furnished the
means Of raising armies and maintaining
; them in the field; and it was in their ct
forts TO sustain the Government thahtne,
. SO far crippled themselves as to be obIlge'

in another place he says: ''lf patrlollsr
