Yankee Bank Notes.

.E5 We are decidedly Of thEiopiniop TIM
Virginia Banks should circulate Virginia
money, antlmoreover that Y irginia Bank;
should not be instrumental in circulating
4 ,1Tankee bank notes in Virginia. It il
dpresumable that Firginians know more
about the solyency Of theiE own banks
Ithan they do about tie solyency 4ofotheF
banks. But whatsdo wa i'll .Kanawha

do We know respecting such 4 banking
institution except what the Bank Report

Suppose a bank, situated i . remote(cor-

Twill it be. the business men Of the com

country ii fine, the people? Most as
suredly #. will notEbe the bank that pat
the Wild cat money in circulation oil,
no, for bank officers are too shreWd to be
caught in that way They receive il for,
the very purpose of circulating It, and
hold themselves accountable to the
bank which issues the notes for that
amount only which they have putin Gin
cplation, and a.eceived full consideration
therefor. Af@r the money is put n cir
culation the people assume all risks Of a
failure. Hence THE loss by such failure
falls upon hemasses Of the people who
may be1so unfortunate as to have posses
sion Of the notes AT de time Of the failure.
1 During the last few years. the people
softhe Kanawha Valley have lost several
dollars, BY their readiness to
take any sort ofmoney, and to give cir.
culation to all kinds Of bank notes.

banks situated in Kentucky and else
where, have been freely circulated here
in past years, and very much TO the loss
and regret Of our people. The fact Isl,
we are money hungry people, and will
take most anything in the shape Of mon
eyrather than take nothing. And this
is the reason why We are 50 easily i'm
posed upon, why we 50 readily aid in cir
culating al kinds Of paper trash. But
We do object, and think it wrong, in a
Virginia bank to take advantage Of our
necessities, and to circulate Yankee
bank notes amongst as, which are, for
oughtthe people know, worth about as
much as blank paper,
We have another objection to New
England money in Virginia. It is this !;
Banks make profits BY an active circula-
ton Of their notes. Some notes are burnt
up, some are lost, some wear out, and
Others are destroyed il various ways.
Now all these losses fall upon the peo-
pie amongst whom The notes are circus

experience teaches US that there is much
less risk in Virginia bank notes than q
those issued elsewhere,l because Virginia
