'WE MUST HAVE BANKS.

This is wha. the Wing stumpcrs and pa
pers tell us every day, and for an evidence
that banks are necessary things, just look a
the great amount of corruption practced ant
misery brought upon the people by them.-
Never since the fouhdation of our Republic
has there been another system adopted, sc
grossly wrong and fraudlent as that of bank
ing. Never has any other system adopted by
our government, filched from the hard earn.
ings of industry, half the amount that banks
have. And yet we are told that banks are
necessary! If any system of swindling is
necessary! let every man In the Union have
an equal chance in the operation! De not
say to one man, you are rich and shall there
fore, have the advantage of law which will
enable you, by signing small bit of paper,
to cheat your hard working nelghbor out of
all bis toll! and that, without any responsible
ity on your part! Such has been the result
Of every system of banking ever yet tried.
For proof that banks can, do and will
cheat the laboring portion of community, JUS.
look back and see how frequently the banker
has filled his pockets with his own bank pa
per and gone forth to some honest old farmer.
bought his wheat, and paid for it with this same
paper! The farmer after the expiration of
week, goes to town and finds for the first
time, the bank is bursted, and he can get
nothing for all his hard earnings. Some times
the banker will give TWENTY-FIVE cents
on the DOLLAR FOR HIS OWN PAPER.
The following shows the effects of Bank
ing:
"Sasquehanna County Baak.-We un.
derstand that the notes of this bank are being
paid out at Mialn by some of the wheat pur-
chasers. The bank is of doubtful character.
and we would advise the farmers of this
county, to decline taking dollar of its paper.
The Susquehanna, Lebigh and Plainield
banks, we understand, are owned by one and
the same individual, and although their notes
may pass current to day, no person can tell
what they may be worth to morrow, they are
not taken atthe bank in this place, and will
not be received in payment of taxes. We
think the wheat purchasers at Milan win con.
suit their own interest, as well as the Interest,"
of the community, by refusing to put this
trash in circulation in this state.s
Nov Mr.. Bebb, the Wing candidate for
Governor Of Ohio, has been closely connec-
led with one Of these rotten banking lastitu-
ions that has robbed labor out of thousands
,f dollars! This is fact that every freeman
should bear in mind when he guse to the
,oiis to exercise that greatest privilege of
nan, voting. Bebb is in favor of an unequal
TAX LAW, that takes from industry and
idds to rich monopolies! He is IN favor of
BANKS, because as in former days, he may
'e able to gil his Golfers from the sweat Of
'ther men, He is IN favor ofssTHE UN-
REPEAL call LAWS
MAKING A DISTINCT{oN ON AC-
,OUNT OF COLOR" and hereby plainly
eclares that BLACKS shoplj be on an equal
ooting with the whites; for Ne COLOR is
he true and only distinction now made. Lett
he negro be made white, and where is the
istinction! If there be any, il must be be-
~eeu white men, and Bcbb dare not preach
lch doctrine. Ia
