Here is late and reliable list Of broken
and doubtful Banks. We find it in the Mil
waukee semi-monthly Advertiser. We give it
because there are many who persist in dealing
in paper money, just because they have set
their heads that way. There are some who
have on hand bills of these same banks. for
We have seen them in their possession. They
will lock out for some one green, and then. off
goes the acildcat The only safe way is to
refuse all paper money, Of whatever name
Use all alike.
There is scarcely Counterfeit Detector in
the Mines, except here and there one among
the Merchants, and how are we to find out
whether bank note is good or bad You
are told by the Jesuit bank agents at every cor
ner that registered Wisconsin and Illinois mon
ey is all good. We don't believe word of it.
We don't be ieve the legal Or registered Banks
could now, ii called on, redeem half, or even
quarter Of their issues. They are doing al.
in their power to double their presen, circu-
lation, and thereby drive out of the country
our gold and silver, in order TO bring trade,
prices, labor and even the people themselves
under their despotic control. Their securities
may be ample, doubtless they are for the pres
ent, but in event Of a general excess of issue,
who wants to wait on the endless law pruces
Of getting at the securities? Half the peop'e
would be sold oat Of house and home before
the rigmarole of preiiminarics could be gone
through with. 1t is all nonsense /; legal bank
ing, as it is called, will end in smoke within
a few months. Then the country will be in
maddened rage at the Banks, and satan's king
dom will hold a jubilee, because of the ui-
umph of universal frauds. Here is the Black
