Another Bank Panic.

The last Gazette endorsed an arti-
Gle in its last number from The ST Louis
New Era which pointed out the dan.
ger Of the immense circulation Of Indi-
ana State Bank paper in this region Of
country. That article declared tina,
even the paper Of good bank might be
unsafe by an excessive circulation
that it makes the community liable to
be severely shaved by any panic that
may be raised against the bank-and
that it would be much better il small.
Ter proportion Of the notes Of the Indi-
ana bank was in circulation. Now. in
copying that article The editor OF the
Gazette. has offered its readers one Of
the strongest arguments for the estab-
lshmen. Of Bank in Iowa. What
creates a necessity for our having
banking institution Of our own! Why,
the very reasons get forth in the article
copied by The Gazette. Protection to
our own interests. Protection to the
People of Iowa. While we are forced
to have a circulating medium Of foreign
paper-whiIe we know nothing Of the
character of the officers Of the insli,u-
.lon-of the genuineness Of the plates
or the signatures, except by hearsay.
we are liable a. any moment. without
any remedy, to have tina. circulating
medium depreciate in our hands, and
many of our citizens may be ruined
The existence Of this liability is nolori.
Gus.
Blu, how are we TO drive out Of the
market this excessive circulation Of In.
diana and other doubtful notes! There
is but one way. lie, Iowa have a
Bank Of its own. We can in this way
have a circulating medium. and with
proper checks and restrictions and
bona fide cash capital. such an institu.
ton nigh. be exceedingly beneficial to
all classes Of the community. With
such an institution well conducted, we
should no, be subjected to the frauds
tina. grow out of a circulation Of foreign
notes, and what is more the present
undesirable state Of things in which
barter and trade take the place of cash
payments, would be broken up. Our
mechanics and laborers now suffer i'm.
mensely by the manner in which bust
ness is conducted. If we had we'll
conducted bank with sufficient capital,
our farmers. laborers, and mechanics.
instead of getting their pay in orders on
the stores. would receive the cash or its
equivalent. Self defence, and the
prosperity Of Iowa seem to require that
we should have Bank.

they are mistaken. The author, who
