sgainst Banking. Their stump speakers fair
Is split their lungs with their vehement de-
nunciations of rag money, rag mills, and
rag barons, and they never failed falsely to
charge that all the Bank paper and shinplas-
ters in the country was manufactured BY
Wings. And finally, in their patriotic efforts
to humbug the dear people Of Iowa, they
framed Constitution for the State which
utterly prohibits Banking within the limits Of
Iowa.
Having thus succeeded in driving out and
excluding Banking capital from the State. o
number of these leaders immediately engag-
ed in the sharing business, and our State
was shingled over with placards emanatng
from Locofoco Office holders, announcing
Hem, Williams L. Co., Bankers. &c., TnE
BANKING House of Green, Weare Benton,
Coolbaugh 4 Brooks, Bankers, and a score
or two more Of less prominent establish
ments under the direction of the Bank hating
Locofoco leaders.
For few years past, these gentlemen who
had succeeded in excluding Banks from Iowa,
have made money very rapidly by circulat-
ing the wildcat currency of other States,
and shaving the people Of this State. Hay-
ing thus increased their capital and enlarged
their facilities, they now aspire 10 n wider
field of operation, and are ambitious to en-
ulate George Smith and other great specula-
tors in the production of wildcat paper. To
this end. taking hint from the Missouri bor-
derers, they have invaded Nebraska. and e.
tablshed o grand marine insurance shin
plaster mandatory nj Omaha City. The
concern seems now 20 be in full blast. and
almost the entiae corps Of Locofoeo editors
Of the State Of Iowa. have been subsidized
10 puf il into public favor. and give it cir
c1lation III our State. If rhey succeed
we shall only have got rid os the wildcat
money Of Georgia, 10 make room for the in
tinitely worse stuff emanating from Nebras-
ka. Worse, we say. because il i issued bv
men OF very small rash capital. and Of very
limited experience in Banking, anl cannot Of
course be made current further east. 1t
