Wisconsin Banks.

lnc-e Is no uOUDt DuI hHtl the dttcnlpt
nov being made 10y the Chicago bankers, TO
discredit certain Wisconsin Banks, was de-
signed for the sole purpose of swindling the
poor out of portion of their earnings.-
For months these sharpers have been assist
ing in the circulation Of this same money
without any apparent misgivings as to its
security. They have now suddenly dis
covered that it is not reliable. We may pre-
sumo the discovery was not made until all
they had in their possession was thrown out
among the people,. By creating panic
they hope to buy ii in at an enormous dis
count, knowing that the stocks deposited
with the Comptroller would prevent the
money from falling very little below par
The laboring man has no time to keep posted
up in regard to deprecated banks, aud would
generally prefer losing the discount to TAX
ing the trouble, even if he was able, to Sc
cure himself by the sale of the stocks. II is
out of this class OF community that the
brokers expect TO make their money.
We present, to-day, condensed state

Comptroller of Wisconsin. in order that our
citizens may see how well these discredited
