10. To establish and keep up an agency,
not vested with banking powers, in each

H. Other general and incidental powers"
ls. Sill further 10 psmper this spoiled
child of special privileges, the Banking
Law, passed February Ia, 1915, conferred
upon il full and complete banking powers.
In view Of these enormous privileges and
IFS perpetual charter, well might the Master
Commissioners exclaim; The part which
that Institution is destined to act, whose
affairs form the subject matter of this report,
lies beyond the reach Of human vision. 1t
is an anomaly in the history of legislation.
1t was born gaint, and has not yet learned
10 know IFS strength"
The author of this report, who is one Of
the ablest and most distinguished members
of the Ohio bar, after thorough invesiiga-
lion Of the machinery and powers of this
immense corporation, makes the following
sensible and eloquent reflections, suggested
no doubt by its policy and practice.
" 1t only remains 10 speak Of the influence
exerted by this institution as banking cor
poration. Justice TO all cornerned requires
il 10 be distinctly stated, that the Master
Commissioner who makes this report, is one
of the few who place no confidence in the
banking system now prevalent in the United
States. He believes that the Author of all
things has so formed the human mind, and
so ordered tho Affections Of the human
heart, that men must live together in social
communities that TO insure individual, as
well as national prosperity, there must be
mutual interchange of tho sympa,hies and
charities, and kindly offices of life--thai
whenever in any community, a body Of men,
for the sake of little more land, or little
more influence, OF little more money, as.
sociate themselves together under the sane
ton Of law, and in their business transac-
tions with their fellow men, adopt a pure,
unmingled, cold blooded selishness, as their
fundamental rule Of action-such bodies Of
men may grow rich, and may enrich their
friends, but i must always be at the ultimate
sacrifice Of the prosperity and welfare Of tho
community in which they arc established
and Just in proportion az such associations
are multiplied and scattered throughout any
community, just in that proportion will their
evil influence be felt"
One other fact and we will close our
notice Of this institution. To satisfy debt
due from the State 10 the Ohio Life nsur-
ance and Trust Company, Alfred Kelley, a
public functionary and Trustee Of said In
sti,ution, sold Ohio stock at so and IS cents
on The dollar, though he was forbidden by
law 10 sell at less than their face. The
people are now reaping the benefits Of this
transaction, in the payment Of 20 or 80
thousand dollars Of additional taxes Con-
ceived in sin, this Institution has brought
forth nothing but niquity.

FACTS ON BANKlNG-NO. III.
Surplus Revenue lost by Ranks

The following table, carefully compiled from
the report Of the Auditor Of State showing the
condition of the surplus revenue fund, needs but
little comment. 1t is freqently said by the ddvo-
Gates of an unnatural system Of credit, and cur
rency. that losses and failures in business will
occur as necessary consequence in CONNER
cinl community; and that Bank credit is as safe,
stable, and wholesome as that OF individuals
The following table exhibits the fallacy of the
foolish assumption, and we think goes far to es.
tablsh the fact so often asserted, that the high
handedr rusurputon of confering upon bodies of
men the exclusive privilege of circulating their
debts, as substitute for the currency of the con-
sitution, is fiaught with the most fearful conse-
quences to the pockets and morals of the people:

KIDNAPPING--AD DARING OUTRAGE

A colored man, we'll known TO our citizens
as Jerry Pinney, was kidnapped and carried
off from this vicinity las, evening, by a com
pany Of man from Frankfort, Ky. The cir
cumsances of his seizure, are as follows:
About eight o'clock last evening, Jerry was
accosied by stranger, who employed him
to carry his trunk overto F'ranklnton, stating
that he wished to attend wedding at that
place. Jerry, assisted by boy, conveyed
the trunk to FrankIiuton, where he was
seized by gang of men in waiting, who
bound him, and started off ON their way to
Kentucky. The boy that accompanied
Jerry, was kept in confinement for two or
three hours, when he was sci at liberty. The
conduct of snme of the citizens of Frank
linton, including Justice of the Peace, who
aided and abet,ed in this high-handed out
rage, is severely animadveried npon. As
their agency in the affair will doubtless
undergo judicial Investigation, we forbcar
comment.
Jerry has resided for fifteen yoars in this
CITY, where he has wife and five children.
He is not runaway, having come into this
state to work for himself, with the consent
of his mistress, who rasided at or near
Frankfort. She had invariably avowed her
intention of setting him at Eboriy, and since
her decease, Ferry has always considered
himself fee man.
Two or three of our citizens have BEEN
Edespatched in pursuit Of the kidnappers, with
reouisi,ion from the Governor.--Statesman.

tter to offend. IioiA eat no flash ,ohik the ioo'1a
staadsth, lest make my brother to offend. on
this principle they signed the pledge and com
menced the reform; and their efforts were ap-
proved, and received cordial response from
such as sympathized with them IN their views
OF truth and duty. Ministers, phllanlhropislS'
and the more thoughtful members OF the
churches, in great numbers, enrolled their
names upon the pledge and gave their infu-
ence to the cause.
The experiment was successful beyond the
anticipations of its warmest advocates and as
it progressed, it was found, that what had been
done, under an expectation of submitting to
personal sacrifice, was attended with perso-
nal benefit. Facts were collected and publish
ed; the experience of different individuals was
compared; and the result was that the principle
was at length fully established, that intoxica
ting liquors are not necessary as beverage,
but in all cases injurious; that all the appro-
pirate duties and business of men may be per-
formed without resort to them that they are
not nutritious; that they impart no strength,
physical or moral; that they ward off no dan
ger; while their use occasions immense injury
to all the great interests of society. In view o.
these facts, established by abundant testimony,
confirmed by experience, and conformable to
well established physiological laws, the friends
of temperance have adopted the resolution, the
one idea, not to use intoxicating liquors as a
beverage; not to provide them Tor the use Of
others, but, in all suitable ways, to discounte-
nance their use throughout the community.
Reader, is your name attached to the tempe,
rance pledge? If not will you place it there.
on the ground of truth and christian philan.
thropy, as well as on the ground of health and
personal safety?
