Your Committee would further say that in
view of the PROSTATE condition of our finan-
ces, and the attempt made by designing per-
sons to flood the State with worthless cur
rency, to the ultimate injury of the whole
people, 1t is the bOunden duty Of this LegiS-
laturc to at once mature and pass General
Banking Law that will drive out these abom-
Unable frauds and swindles. Your Commit
tee are not prepared to report whether Banks
could be dispensed with or not that subject
more properly belongs TO the political econ
omist," but your Committee are prepared to
say that only two or three States in the Un.
be circulated, and the inevitable consequence
has been they were inundated with every de-
scriptiOn Of shinplasters, from the Nebraska
Bank to the Dubuque Harbor Currency, and
such is the ruinous effect upon those States
that Louisiana and Missouri are now hastily
retracing their steps, and have passed bank
ing laws; and the people of Iowa have in
their amended Constitution, voted to create
Banking Law. Shall Minnesota, with ex-
amples such as these, stand aloof and allow
the wild cat issues of every State or Terrific
Ty, from the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboard.
to come into our young State and devour the
substance of our toiling fellow citizens, drive
out whatever good money there may be here,
and destroy the energy and industry of the
people2 Your Committee believe not as
the Representatives Of the people, they de-
'nand a law at our hands, Your Committee
anxiously lahored to perfect one. They may
not have succeeded, but present 1t for your
consideration, and respectfully ask the ''imme-
dIate" and attentive consideration of the same
that its Importance demands.
