At meeting of the Locofoco party, held in Utica
N. r., on Friday week, a resolution was adopted re
fis ng to recognise Mr. TYLER as candidate for The
Presidential nomination, and declaring that his " de
sertion and treachery to those who contided In HIN
form no recommendation TO an honest Democracy
The Utica Observer accompanies the publication
these proceedings with the remark, that they hinI
pery nell Of Capt. TyLEs for remoring Wigs and dp
pointing Locotoeos, BUT that nevertheless they " re
gard him merely President for the residue OF hi
term and not as candidate fer re-elec tion.-.Ndi
inieHigsneer
There were not, perhaps, more than ten Oh
fifteen persons present at the mt eting. The re
solutions, we have reason to believe, Orom a
slight accident which some time since occurred,
went from Washington some weeks ago, hut We
doubt whether Mr.. Wright approved them. Mr.
w. is a sincere friend Of Mr. Van Buren,, and
would like 10 see him elected but, as soon a
Mr. V. BPS friends find il necessary TO withdraw
him, we doubt not Mr. Wright will stand by the
President.
Even if there were but two or three present
al The Utica meeting, still The publication of the
proceedings will be of infinite service 10 Mr.
Tyler The gross injustice done him by these
tools of a manager, will rouse up the true De
mocracy in Other places!

The interior OF the country is immensely de-
fcient in money. The abundance of which SO
much is spoken of and which initiates stocks on
the sesboard, exists only in that section.
If we take that fact into view, we shall per
ceive that The prices of stocks, although now not
actually much higher. The paper circulation
of the whole Union is now scarcely $50, 900, 900.
In 1899, il was S14O, 100000. That paper cur
rency has persisted, and has not yet been sup
piled with specie, which is banked up in the
Atlantic ports temporarily, and is very DANCE
rously finding employment in stocks. The
quantity Of money in The country, although APP
parcnty very abundant at the points of concen-
tration, is actually very deficient when we take
the wants Of the whole Union into considera-
lion. When the precious metals, as they inc
vitably must, have found their way into the
channels Of circulation, and the currency is
cqualized in quantity as well as in quality,
stocks will fall TO specie level at the same time
that produce will rise to il. We look upon the
position of stocks, and banking engaged in it,
as in the highest degree precarious. There Is
by no means, sufficient surplus capita in this
country "to carry" the $50, 900, 0O0 of company
and corporate stocks now extant, at any thing
like the prices they now C, mmand. This is
very evident from the fact, that even at time
when the quantity OF paper capital in he hands
of companies and individuals was immense, and
the capital of Europe freely sought them for in
vestment; yet very large proportion of the
tocks created remained in the hands of large
contractors without ever having been absorbed
by private investment. The U. S. Bank, for
instance, held sl5 900, 900 Of different stocks,
which ii could not sell. The American l. f.
and Trust Company took 81 200, 900 of Ken
lucky 6's, and when they failed, Sl75, 600 was
given to Roberts, Curtis & CO., and that firm
is even now selling them after they have been
created five years
In all directions the same results are ap,a-
rent If American credit were TO revive IN
Europe TO its full extent, at hast $50, 900 600
would require to be absorb, by individuals. be-
fore the market would be relieved from the lots
now of, ring for sale. If credit does not revive
abroad and American capital is required to
carry the amount, II can do so only at low
prices because money is more valuable in bu-
sness than in stocks al per cent.

RANKING IN THE SOUTH AND WEST

RANKING IN THE SOUTH AND YVES
A few wears have very materially changed the
condition of the Banks in certain portions OF the
country, and al the same time we beiieve the
change has operated in favor OF The public IN
teresis.
Too much importance, we believe, has always
been attached 10 the utility of banking nstl,u-
lions in this country and The public will, at
length, discover that, if they have done much
good, they have also wrought much evil; but
this has been more owing 10 their management,
or rather Encouragement, than anything neces-
sariy inherent In the nature of these instiiu-
lions.
One important fact in regard TO Banks has
sludously been concealed from the public, and
that is the enormous tax which they have levied
upon the public. For example, when they have
had only $33 900, 900 Of specie on hand, their
loans have extended 10 $5OO,O0O, O00-thus max
ing loans to the amount of $467 100000 beyond
the specie on hand the interest of which, at 8
per cent, would be more than $4,000, OOO-,be
whole of which might well be considered as
usury, there being not dollar of metallic basis
for il to rest upon. This sum far exceeds the
whole expenses OF the Federal Government.
When SO much is said about the taxation which
the tariff imposes, we should MT forget that the
taxes of the Banks have been far greater
But we are happy TO find, that few years Of
reverses have wrought On important revolution
with the Banks, and have brought, at length, a
degree Of prosperity to the country.
We take the following extract from the mo-
ney article of the New York Herald, of the 26th
INST, to show that cur prosperity, as people,
does not depend quite SO much upon the Banks,
as theirs does upon the too easy credulity OF the
People -
"The amount of business transacted, compared
with the amount of money in circulation in the West,
is enormous. The following is an official statement
Of banking in some Of the Agricultural States =
BANKING IN THE SOUTH AND WEST.
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1843-05-29

Though we have occupied considerable
space with the article from the Herald, we be-
lieve il could not be devoted TO better pur-
pose.
The manufacturing OF stocks has been the
besettiug sin Of the country; and we oeieVe' u
the People have learned any wisdom by ihei'
experience, they Will not suffer themselves TO
be duped out of another dollar by any new man
ufactucrs of slocks, or by any further specula-
lions in any of the old and worthless relics that
remain in the market
But for the many millions of these worthless
stocks forced upon the market, and pulled up by
hirelings, the Government could, have obtained
loans 10 any amount their necessities required,
and there would have been 10 pretence to resort
TO high tariff TO meet its expenses, and thus 10
create necessity for perpetual changes IN The
rate of duties, when the great interests OF the
country demand stability and permanence.
Turning from The folly and madness OF the
past, we are happy 10 perceive The dawning
prospect of wiser counsels and better times.

Wheat The soil and climate of every por-

this great staple though in different degrees. The
States, however, that furnish the greatest guam

and Ohio the latter the greatest amount, viz !:
25,3S7, 439, within a fraction Of one fourth OF
the whole. The quantity produced in 1S43
exceeds the amount Of production Of Great
Britain. which (says the Report of 1922 did
not exceed 100, 600, 900 bushels.
Indian corn is likewise produced in all the
States, but the greatest quantities in the Sou b.
ern and Western States.
Potatoes seem best adapted to the soil Of the
North, ard portion of the West,-New Eng

two-thirds of the whole crop in 1871, but no,
quite so great proportion in 1912, The quantity
being abou, 81 millions bushels out of the $50
millions.
There was considerable increase, it will be
observed, in all productions in 1912, except bar
lev, silk cocoons, and tobacco, the latter article
having fallen about 20 per cent. There has
been the greatest increase in the fax, Of any ar
