"Bankers receive a profit on what they
owe. from those whom they owe, and for a
thing within itself Of one intrinsic value"
Jefferson.
That great mai never uttered n truer sem
tence. The banks actually iecsire interest
ON their Obligations. while the citizens pay
interest on their obligations. Yet with this
advantage. the banks are allowed by the
Legislature to withhold payment just as long
us they please, while individuals are f"rced
To paw all their obligations promptly. What
folly. then, is it. to talk Of Equal Rights
Disguise it as lar rs Won can, and the people
can still see that Bankers exercise privileges
which are denied TO their citizents. Is ii not

OF Hottinguer & Co. In the settlements
made and now reported, it was deemed bv
me and assented 10 by the Committee and
approved by the vote Of the Board, for the
benefit Of the Bank at the particular time.
that this portion should be paid through Mr..
Wilder. the debtor on the bnuksof the Bank,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
MFSSAEE

The main topics discussed in this do.u-
ment and submitted to the consideration of
the Legislature, are thus satisfactorily con-
densed to our hands in the North American ::
First: Our present Banking System, a
through reform Of which is recommended
II is suggested also, that no increase of our
banking capital be allowed and further, that
suspension by any bank shall be ipso hcto
forfeiture Of its charter. Resumption on
the 18th inst. is anticipated with entire conG-
dence.
Second Public Improvements, which il is
alleged have been prosecuted during the year
with untiring assiduity. 1t is recommended
that as soon as those under way, embracing
the principal works, have been finished the
State pause in her career and test the val,e of
her achievements. 1t expresses strony at
tachment to these public works and undinin-
ished confidence in their utility.
Third: State Debt, which, as it appears,
amounts to S36,79O.775 GO. This includes
the United States deposit of 81, s67, 5I4 10
deposit that will in no probability be cal.
led. 1t is q sort of Offset for the public
lands.)
Fourth: State Property, amounting to a3e
49s,31e sc, sound and good, but not imme-
diateiy available for paying principle or inter-
est ON the public debt. CA little like some
VI .'e otochS Helu by the u. >. Bank.)
Fifth: Interest on State Debt, 10 meet
which new loan Of 100000 will be reoui
red by the first Of February next.
Sixth The Iar Bill. the revenues r..
suiting from this i: is expected will amount
10 about 100000. Ut falls on gentlemen
VINO r!de IN carriages, carry gold watches, and
keep dogs. Ali the better for that. There
ought to have been one especially for US bach
eiors.)
Seventh: Faith of the State the MESSAGE
is strong manly and decided on this point.
and reflects tho highest credit on the political
wisdom and unflinching integrity OF it's au-
hor- The sentiment expressed oupht 60 live
undyingly in the heart of every American.
Eighth: Portage Railroad an immediate
appropriation for the completion OF the reser-
yoirs at each end is recommended, so that the
whole may BIO ready for use at the opeainy of
navigation in the spring Of 1912. This and
the completion Of the main line, opens di-
rect communication with the great lakes sud
our commercial metropolis.
Ninth Erie Extension and North Branch
Canal nearly finished an appropriation Teo !.
ommeaded for its speedy completion the
State pledged to accomplish il.
