The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1853-02-09

hat was ever invented.
The Republican diskes fraudulent Banks
and the lntelligencer takes all kinds of trash in
the shape of bank notes aud still wants more of
them We abhor all manner of Banks and vii
famous bankers, because banks break and enrich
them, who cheat and swindle the whole COM
nunity. The other papers blow hot and blow
cold, as occasion requires Such, however, is
the present position Of the three principle news
papers in this city.
The Herald warns, and the Republican plies
the rattle, while the intelligencer, swelling up
with commercial dignity, tauntingly replies
"Farcical the manifestations of some OF
these agitators may appear, they are neverthe
les, calculated to misfead many who are neither
ssscrutinizers' For investigators ); and, indeed,
to produces possibly, more serious results than
their originators ever dreamed Of. Sufficient
time has already elapsed since the first croak-
| ings began, to demonstrate at least their utter
groundlessness
Reprehensible as this language may appear in
brother Budd's paper, it is nothing to what he
used to say and do, in times gone By. His for
mer connection with some of the most worthless
and doubtful institutions, of this city, renders
him peculiarly fitted for bolsering up the whole
sale operations of our wealthy financiers N their
| unlawful issues, and gives to him license be-
| yond that of other men. A fellow feeling makes
him wondrous sympathetic.
| His intimate connection with the ever menu
orable, and never to be forgotten, Gas light
Company which caused total loss to the city
| of fifth thousand dollars! will ever endear him
| to the remembrance ofthe tax payers and others
who have invariably to foot the bills of losses
brought upon them by the ''great financial tai
| INT" of our bankers and buyers of b Guleys.
| No wonder that the In,ellugencer endorses
the issue of these illegal and respectable Wild
cat shinplasters and in SO business-lIke man
ncr that we do not see how anybody can tor a
moment doubt its convictions are plainly shad
owed forth based upon reliable infnrmaiion-
| Acknowledgements and all-and bank figures,
| too,-when it states positively and unequlvocal
| " that, "The currency about us is in more re
ally healthy and satisfactory condition then has
been known here for gears
| The indirnity with which the Intelligencer
| treats the timely warnings of the Republican
within the last few days reminds us Of those
DAYS when the bulletin and the Reporter used
to thunder forth their anathemas upon the Peo-
pies Organ for having the independence to
speak the truth to warn the industrial classes
that another Saturday night was coming, and
Monday morning, usual, might usher forth
another broken bank for in those days banks
always broke on Sunday--a day on which bro.
tier Budd liked not to be disturbed in his devou'
u.ed.tations by the rafting wheels OF the omni,
buses.
| Yes, readers brother Budd was one of the
innocent operators in Banks, in those days-In
| lS42-when Benoist and Page smashed down
the Banks Of Illinois. Dare they deny II =
Let them. There are the columns of bank
ridden urnal-hcre we will meet yon before
the 5000 daily readers Of the Morning Herald.
We do not mean 10 charge those "honorable
gentlemen with anything dishonorable; for IN
those days it was alike honorable and proper to
fleece the Banks whenever an opportunity oc-
CURED Oh, no it would be highly unpopular,
20 censure such wealthy persnnagesi and we
dislike to be unpopular, much SO as bankers
dislike laws which ndct them for crimes, and
the laws against banking. However disagree
able this law, the lntelligcncer recommends its
being putin fofce, and that the offenders be
made to feel lis whitening power. This is all
the Republican asks And we say that the pub
lie safety demands that these Offenders should
be made an example of.-St. Louis Daily Herd
