Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1857-10-01
No Banks, but Shinplastera


The Democrat loses no opportunity of ex
hibting its opposition to Banks. Yester-
day it endeavored to make capital for its De.
culiar opinions. out of the suspension of Eas
tern Banks. Bat in the same paper We find
the following:
Our New CURREScY.-Burrows d Preaty-
man commenced paying out new style of
currency. 1t is a neatly engraved bill, and
upon the face Of it this firm promises to pay
its value in currency to the bearer We
wish Messrs, B. 4 p all success to this new
operation.
Here is this Anti Bank paper approving
of an individual shinplaster issued and wish,
ing il prosperity. This strikes us as bor-
dering very closely on the Ridiculous in in
consisticy.-Gazette.
The above from the Gazette is about ms
truthful as anything that ever appears in
that journal. The habit of msrepresenta.
tion is chronic.
What the Gazette quotes from our local
column does not even have the semblence
approving the issue Of bank notes. IfMessrs
Burrows 4 Prettyman are designing to set
up n Bank and issue notes for circulation,
We condemn the whole scheme. But we
are informed by them, that these orders are
only issued for wheat, in the same manner
that they have always issued orders, and
that they will be paid on presentation as
other orders Of theirs are paid. They issue
these orders Mess. on account of the di6culty
