Mr. Kaufman moved to extend the time for
'mntion to the fourth Monday of April
LG,f, W. Longaker said that the position he oc-
,;oJ was a peculiar one, aud he desired to
cupIi ppI,in He dislked the present banking sys-
tA believing it to be radically wrong, but
leu, ;s not the time to vote not to favor the
~" n,"ts but to relieve the people. Respecta BILE
p1, onie from every portion of the State are here
landing Legislation, and he, for one,
u.l'- ,. rcody to answer their appeal. No Legis-
W. ,,.;,o body of the Union can have such influ.
la',, ao mon financial affairs but every hour in
e..s sosoI T the necessity for relief He said that
'tC tond he ever occupy again seat on the
4oor % of this House, he would attempt radio
II IJU, Ur,c.orranization of the banking system, but
.aw d was not the proper time. He opposed
H." .To biII because it would extend relief to the
hanks InS Ks and not to the people. Under it all
I%a business men would become bankrupt
Tnt 1uI tbe Banks also become bankrupt, they
nnrbt nS all to 90 down together.
'' Mr. Imbrie said he would vote against the
e,st section, because a requirement for the
,.,mcnt of five dollar notes was Incorporated
a;t This would weaken all the country

nomber a could favor such aprovision. Legisla-
Y ton of this kind favors Philadelphia interests
alone
If tbe five dollar note proviso. .
Mr. Foster also favored a reconsideration
The circulation of the country Banks tends
from tha country to the City. The country
tlonk notes, under the operation of this prori-
SON. would go into the hands of the City Bro
ers and being taken back, gold and silver
fwould be obtained upon them, creating a con-
slant run upon the country banks.
The reconsidertion was carried and the pro-
viso recurring the payment Of five dollar notes
.ia specie was struck out. 5s
