The Notes of all the banks above men
toned, are bankab!e at The Western Bank
in this place, also the notes of the State
Stock Bank, at Marion, and the Laurel
Bank. at Laurel. The bills at present of
all other free banks rejected. except on
special deposit. Some of our mefchs nts
and operators continue to receive all the
State Stock bills with q few exceptions.
The Treasurer of our County will receive
the notes of the banks above mentioned.
for State and County revenue, and no
othersof The Free Banks.
We feel that the public have suffered
long enough under a depressed currency,
and that the time has come when de-
cided action should be had by the peo-
pie, to receive the notes Of specie paying
banks. and reject at once all others.
However good the Stocks may be upon
which the notes are ased, it was the in.
tent and meaning of the Free Banking
law. that all notes should be paid on de-
mand in specie, at least no other law
should be sanctioned or enacted. The
currency of a country. 10 be sound and
wholesome. ought to be equivalent to
specie. and not the suppositious repre-
sentative Of property, which property
may diminish ma terialIy in value before
the gold and silver are obtained for it.
Thus. suppose bank to stop payment +,
in fac. they are or have been of late be-
coming bankrupt every day. 1--WE speak Of
banks generality the holders of the notes
must wait a period of time for their divi-
dends. and when received at a sacrifice.
! We fear too many of the banks only re-
present the monopoly of public credit
1t is obvious that paper currency of
this kind Is calculated TO throw the
! measure OF value into utter confusion,
and subject property to the wind and
waves of every shock which its collision
with the metals is sure TO produce. The
cri sis of 1919. '37, and sd in our cure \.
cy, exhibit the disastrous effects of bank
expansions, when in many instances
costly estates have been reduced in value
more thar one half (by q collapse of the
currency. and thousands of men who
deemed themselves exhalted in opulence
become suddenly reduced to poverty, or
compelled 10 begin second time at the
task OF labor. Such horrible conjunc,
lures ought to be carefully avoided by a
sagacious and provident people. for they
up-tear The very foundation of wealth
and prosperity. eat into private happine SIS,
create discussions under ty5anic and over
bearing men Of wealth holding the power,
that can never be healed, corrode away
The resources of the country. end produce
embarrassment In all its fiscal concerns.
Public interest demands III Il every Bank
should pay its notes on presentation, and
we have no doubt the Free Banking law
Of our State will be 80 amended this win
ter, as to ensure perfect safety to the bill
holder. In doing this. such course
should not be sought for ss to cripple the
banks themselves. or ia o.h,r words n axe
