The New BANKING Law OF Ono Why it
is that the journals of the State, Democratic,
Republican, and American have observed such
death like silence upon the merits and de.
merits of this lengthy production of the Leg
islature, is to us somewhat strange. The peo-
pie have to vote upon it this fall. and therefore
should examine IFS provisions with great care,
Now is the time for every legal voter to read
the law, and 10 settle the question in his own
mind, whei her he will or will not give 1t his
support. There is an immense amount Of Pc
cuniary interest involved in the destiny of the
law, both to individuals and to the State
We have not yet had sufficient time to give
it that thorough investigation necessary to en-.
able us to form very decided opinion respect
ing its merits. Our mind howeve. is favorably
impressed with the general features of the law
Hereafter We may speak Of it more in detail.
