Sixth: II has been claimed that. Il

The people and prevent the gold and sill

The only condition upon which they were
/ granted the high privilege Of converting
4 their promissory notes into curFeney.
Such are briefly the leading privileges
and exemptions demanded for banks in
this State; and il is not matter Of sur
prise that the persons who set mp such
claims should reject the terms Of the ex'
isling laws, and even pronounce them
impracticable How far these high pre-
roga(iVes shall be conferred, and by what
restrictions and safeguards the commn-
nifty shall be protected, is Submitted TO
the wisdom of the Legislature. The
banks themselves, or those directly in
terssted in them, are certainly not the
proper parsons toeprescribe the terms on
which they shall obtain extraordinary
privileges and exemptions. Reflection
and observation have tended TO confirm
my conviction that time and experience
will prove The wisdom Of the provisions
of the genetaI law, now in force, for lhe
regulation Of the banking system. Banks !

The great error which prevails on This
subject has its origin in the common
vague impression that we are depeRdan,
on tho bank paper system for the supply
of a sufficient quantity Of the circulating
medium, and that without baak paper
commerce would not flourish, business
would stagnate and, the country cease TO |
advance in prosperity and improvement.
This falIacy is the chief cause Oi that
superslicious attachment to The paper |
system, which,.wiih some, has become
idolatry. tits produced by superficial
observation oflhe mere appearance OF
things, without an accurate inquiry into
the true elements which constitute The |
moving springs is enterprise and prosper
iIy. The occurrences which have trans
pired under the eyes of the people OF
Ohio, within the last few years, will 9"
iar to dispsl this delusion. The follow
ing table will show the extent with WHICH |
the people Of this State were furnished
with bank facilities ami accommodations
by our own banks each year, from 1885
10 the present time, with the exception
Of the year lS4l, whsp the banks Princi-
pal!y set the laws at defiance, and regu>
