James X. Polk Oh Bank Suspensions.

The following an extract from the message of Gov
James X Polk to the legislature of Tennessee in 1889
After having shown the causes of the financial troubles
at that time to have resulted from inflated paper
rency starting first with the banks of the Eastern cities
he says:
upon the receipt of the information that some of the
banks at the East in little than year from their
last resumption had again suspended specie payments
the question Immediately in the public mind what
had produced the suspension, and what would be the
proper to be pursued by the banks of Tennessee
CAS- far informed the suspension at the East
represented to have arisen not out of lack of power
to continue specie payments but sepreservaton under
the form of keeping the specie from being drained out of
the country Without the means Of knowing how the
fact may be- it is for suspension of payment by the
banks, but absolute inability to meet their response
bilities promptly.
and whatever may have been the cause of the suspen
sion of payment by banks, so long they are able
to pay What is the effect if contrary be adop
ted? A few of the Banks at the East suspended, and
represent the public that they solvent and do
not from necessity but to retain their specie and fol-
lowing their example, the banks in the interior which
also represented to be solvent suspended Also not
because they under the necessity to do so but SIM
ply because the eastern banks have suspended that
the suspension of the banks in single city which may
have INDUCED in excessive issues of bank paper and bank
Credits and thus stimulated and promoted overacon
in trade, which may have Interior objects in view
made to operate as suspension OF payments by all the
banks of the country. Surely if bank suspendeS III
Philadelphia it is no reason for banks to follow the
example unless they compelled by their condition to
do so.
1.-The apprehension of the drain of their specie can be
no sufficient reason for of the conditions of their
corporate privileges is, that they shall keep themselves
at all times in condition to meet their liabilities
When suspension Of specie payments takes place by
banks their circulation Immediately depreciaes IN value
and the loss falls not on the banks, but the people,
The labor Of the country bears the loss, w's the BANKS
during period Of suspension, are ote" dong the"
most profitable business
