no THE prRIIG

Some few weeks since communication, signed
Sumner" appeared in the columns of the UNION
AND AMERICAN advocating my election as Speaker of
the House of Representatives, at the approaching
session of the Legislature This article was written
and published without any consultation with me
or knowledge of its contents my part. until it
appeared in the newspaper. 1t contained an allu-
sion to my political differences with my brother,
Andrew J. DonelsOn, but as l am informed, was
neither conceived written in any unfriendly spirit
towards him. Soon after the appearance of this
article an editOriaappeared in the Patriot, comment
ing very severely on my political course and
making bitter charges against my consistency
Although perfectly satisfied that the basis of
these accusations was furnished by my brother,
answered it in the UNION AND AMERICAN, under
my own signature in as temperate and mode
rate terms, it was possible to couch reply
to such charges. This reply remained without a
rejoinder for time and it was my earnest hope
that the controversy had terminated; but on the ID
inst the Patriot contained long communication
signed "Anti- Nullifer" more bitter and malignant
than the first and entering into matters connected
with the family history of Major DonelsUn and my.
self, and proposing to sustain certain charges by
reference to old letters and documents. Feeling
perfectly satisfied that this last attack came from
my brother, and wishing to ascertain the truth o
my suspicion before entering on any defence of my
SELF or attack on another, called on the editor
the Patriot for the author of this communication
and he has given me the name of my brother, An
drew ]. UOnelsOn, by his consent. Every feelin
of my nature forbids my entering into fratricida
contest. Whatever charges he may make agains
me, shall go unanswered. will not open to publ
gaze the brOtherly correspondence of former year:
or reopen with him difficulties which the ashe
of oblivion ought to be spread. There will, there
fore, be no further public controversy between u.s.

NORTHERN DIFFICULTIES AND 20 JTHEBN


He is the practical statesman, the real reiormcr,
who recalls The public mind from tancies to facts
from the lessons of theory to the lessons of expert
euce You cannot extinguish a prejudice by
tearing IL out by the roots. You must convince,
not crush, "a mistaken judgment or an erroneous
opinion. Let MS illustrate:
The cry against the people Of the South, which,
after the attacks upon their peculiar institutions,
has done the most TO exasperate them, has been
their comparative lack of enterprise IN commerce,
manufactures railroads, schools, &c.
This has been sounded along the whole frontier
dividing the free States from the South. 1t has been
printed and preached with industry unparalleled.
The public mind in the North and Northwest has
been asked to take it for true; has been scoded
into it, and rallied into it, even reasoned into It,
To prove the sincerity Of the contrast, the free
States have gone into all sorts of d" enterprise with
very madness We have had marble banks run
up" like the palace of Aladdin, almost in a night
every pillar costing its thousands, every archiraye
laid in hard-earned gold, every brick cemented to
its fellow by the sweat of honest toll Railroads
have been uaJgoUsrd Cities have sprung into ex-
istcnce as sudden and as aeetiug) as so many ex-
halalious Great factories have risen in towering
lines, and men have been made glad with the music
Of industry. From all these have grown the superb
mansions Of moneyed princes; fast horses, fast
men, fast boys, and fast girls. Such is the reverse
of the picture. While the South stood still, the
North R0rs5 on
So the accusation against the South was not one
of words Behold the fruits of the accusation,
and draw the contrast for yourself.
We disdajn making party appeal at such a time
as this. The curse of journalism, in these days.
is the habit Of charging everything bad 10 party, on
the one hand, or claiming everything good for party
on the other. We scorn any such purpose.
But now, when We see the whole SOuth-the
South without enterprises or resources, as We have
been t0ld-standing solid on her material interests
on her mighty staples and in her proud isolation
from the blast that has swept down so many Of
those who have been auntiug and dcpreciating her,
let us take the admouiOn thus furnished to US and
profit by it like wise men
Let US ask ourselves how our bitter reproaches
against the South sound to US now?
How little we could do without her money in our
cities, her timbers in waters, her cotton in our
mills
How we should stand If she should fallT
How We gefshly rejoice in 0ur heart-, in the

BANKS.[

Banks have been conneAedwith the financial err
sesthat have swept over the world Time out of mind
Like most commercial Institutions, they originated
in Italy, and owe their existence to mOney-lenders
The Jews wont to assemble in the market places
of the great cities Of Italy, for the purpose Of find
ing borrowers. They sat upon 6ancO (the Italian
for bench which is the origin for the name bank.
The first bank of any moment ever established was
that of Venice IN HI 1t was bank Of deposit,
and the money once placed there could not during
the first years of its existence be withdrawn but
gave credit to the deposition TO the amount of the
deposit This bank continued in existence until the
dissolution of the Venetian Republic in 1898, and
NAV he REGARDED as the mother of all the institutions
of the kind which have since been established in the
world
From the origin of banks, down to the present
time there has been a continual war going on be
tween them and the community every where they
exist. In every age of the world there have been
more borrowers than lenders Men have always
borrowed all they could from the banks, and then
cursed them for not lending more. They have
blamed the banks for lending them money with which
to bring on their ruin. They have cursed them for
not lending them money TO prevent rum. they have
damned them COR not lending them more money with
which to make great fortunes In word, they
have rallied at the banks, both for what they did
and for what they did not. The banks were, there
FORE bound to be blamed no matter what they did or
what they did not do. They were corporations of
Shylock origin, and must be damned whether they
existed as the disgusting bench on which the jew
