that 4 clip Of the scissors may fill the holder;
pocket with what he regards to be golden treas
ure; then comes the (what is termed) floating
railroad debt" that is, debt made by exces,
sire expenditure over income, all as good a:
gold dust as long as mutations last. But when
a crisis comes, woe be unto the holders that
have invested their fortune in such paper. Tho
excessive bank issues of the United States arc
at the bottom Of all this wild extravaganza in
public works in the land and real estate spccll-
lations, and of the general extravaganza of our
people. Where are the millions of gold, which
We have received from California? Where are
the immense treasures, that we ought to have
laid aside during the Crimean war? When
there was golden demand for everything we
had to export. we flrttcred it away, and have
nothing to show for it, but useless public works
that have cost hundreds of millions, and the
very small amount Of gold i'll the banks and
the sub-treasury, willie every State and city in
the Union is deeply in debt. In lSlG our i'm
ports were one hundred and twenty. .one millions
of dollars. In 1856 three hundred and fourteen
millions. From 1910 to 1885, we exported one
hundred and eghty-siX millions of dollars, in
coin and bullion, more than We imported. Had
we commenced with proper bank restrictions
in 1910, We would now he the richest people
on earth, with a solid specie basis for Our paper
circulation, and the country would have saved
millions that have been expended in useless public
works, and all indebtedness that I; quarter Of
century Of close economy will not afford the
means to pay. The State Of South Carolina
may not tlattcr herself that she has escaped the
mania for speculation. Let every man who
feels he has grown richer, put his hands IN his
pockets, and cast up his accounts Il year or two
hence, and see how the account will compare
with the summer Of 1857. Let the State Gust
up her accounts, and see where she stands,
where she was in 1852, and where she will bc
in 1862, with her mountain railroad that is to
cost millions of debt, and Il State House that
would be heavy tax upon the revenue of the
Gcneml Government, and house fine enough
for capital for tho nation to cost millions, and
all on credit. Let lis look ahead and sec how
crrUncOusy our taxes arc to be raised. Can
any man believe for Il moment that such work,
would have been commenced in such times us
we had in 1873 to lS4G, after the country had
recovered from the suspension and bankruptcy
Of 1881 and 1910? 1t is manifest to my mind
that the inflated bank currency is at the bottom
of the whole Of these unfortunate undertakings.

am satisfied that theresrc few who can real
ize how much our countryhas suffered from our
banking system, and how..auch better would be
our condition had we enjoyed limited banking
system since 1910. In allssprobabilty, millions
that have been wasted onpproitable and use
less railroads would have bqen expended in pro-
noting useful enterprises in developing or
agricultural resources, in 0Eening our mountain
iron mines, and i'll makng1he iron to equip the
more useful roads Millions of capital now in
banks, would also have beeh invested in similar
enterprises, thus pushingSa6rward our progress
in industrial wealth, instesd of shaving, stock
jobbiny, and infusins speculation into the minds
of men whom nature ads$ftted for productive
laborers. How much better off would South
Carolina be now, had her excessive bank capital
been employed III improving the agriculture of
our State, or pushing forward manufacturing en-
terp-ses. The class Of Etel!igent men who
conirct our banks would, Shy the same applica-
ton, make any branch of industry succeed.
Now, Mr.. Speaker, no bank in South Carroll
M ever expects to- suspend again, and none
would consider it a griey6us matter to fix a
heavy penalty for future suspension. I have,
therefore, proposed 10 percent. damages to the
holder, and per cent. interest as long as pay
ment is withheld
In lS40 when the banks8usp spended, current
bank bills were at a. discount of 10 per cent,

the matter goes on, until the speculator finds
: that interest and erchaage have eaten profits
and capital up when he fails, and compromises
with his creditors.
Spectators may seem to contribute to the
prosperity OF a country, but there can be no
greater curse to any country than set Of gamb-
ling produce spectators. Cotton is said to be
king Of the world, but when the inflated banks
Of this country and the speculators, link their
destiny together, they create a power which is
king of kings, capable Of raising whirlwind
that may sweep over the monetary affairs Of the
whole world. and bring ruin and dcsolation to
the doors OF The great merchants Of every nation.
Banks under proper restraints, and well man
aged, may be a great blessing to our country;
but when we sec what mischief may be cngcn-
ucIcll ny Lliclll UdVe We llOI gOul
reason to throw safeguards around them? Will
not every State in the Union feel the same
necessity?
We have had rnany sal lessons of the ruin
Gus results of cotton speculatiuns. They gene
rally begin in the spring and summer, SO that a
great portion Of the cotton planters are outsi
dcrs, the crop having passed out Of their hands;
prices are run up to ruinous rates to manuGac-
turing customers. The consumption of cotton
goods is checked all over the world cotton fac
tories are stopped or compelled to run short
time The spectators hold, and many spinncrs
stop for the want of cotton, and are so crippled
with high prices and stoppages that they are
unable to purchase from the new crop unless
1t goes forward at very low prices; down cotton
goes, as is the case this fall The cotton held in
England by American spectators will add much
to our embarrassnents in the present crisis.
Had monetary affairs remained right, and
spectators kept out OF the way, the coming
crop would in all probability have gone forward,
and been consumed at II Or Is cents. As it is,
no human foresight can approximate the result.
If We get of, with a loss Of twenty dollars a
bale, we shall be fortunate
Now, Mr. Speaker, let me in conclusion OBJ
serve, that the rule Of action which have laid
down for the banks may be considered o hard
regimen to act under.

OLE 8ank Question,
REMARKS OF
HON. WILLIAM GREGG,
OF EDGEFIELD, ON THE
; BANKING SYSTEM.
CONCLUDED.

Now, for my second proposition of requiring
one hard dollar for every three of liability.
There is no subject about which people are so
much mistaken as the use of bank bills. Banks
can add nothing to the wealth Of u community
by the issue of paper money, but may frequent
ly, if improperly located, do more harm than
good in fact, we may conclude that they have
always mischievous tendency, when the busi-
ness of the country is not sufficient to employ
their capital in legitimate banking, which can
not be extended much beyond facilitating the
export of the produce, both agricultural and
mechanical from the country, and then to aid
merchants to import into the country, and dis
tribute the mercantile products which we re-
ceve in return. Banks ought to be confined
to mercantile cities; all the banks located other
wise in New York, Massachusetts,, Pennsylva-
mia, and in all the other States, have done harm
and worked out mischief to the country at large.
What does planter or mechanic want with
bank paper, that they should clamor, for Banks?
While all the appliances for carrying on the
different branches of productive labor have in
creased so enormously in cost, how have the
products of labor been affected? Ask the me
chanc, the manufacturer, or the planter, and
rou will receive but one answer. The manufac-
turer, and mechanic have experienced u change
for the worse since the imitation commenced,
and the following figures will show whether
the planter has gained or lost.
From 1897 to 1855, will divide into three
periods of six years each. Tue first period will
embrace the suspension Of 1887, with the six
following years of nearly hard money currcn-
cy; the second from 1915 to 1910, during which
time the present initiation commenced; the
third period, from lS49 to 1855, during which
time the initiation was nearly all the time up to
suspension point.
From DE Boao'S Reriew of January, 1856, I
gather that during the first period, from 1887
to 1913, cotton sold in Liverpool as follows,
which indicates tie extreme:
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1858-02-17

every operation which will be likely to extend
their circulation in distant sections of country.
Legitimate business has to stand back, while
speculation is promoted. The merchant who
wants to borrow $40 or $4,000 to purchase
merchandise in Europe, stands but poor chance
by the side of speculator who is purchasing
negroes in North Carolina and Virginia, horses
and mules in Kentucky, wheat, corn or cotton
in Georgia and Tennessee. Such men can readi-
~ obtain $40, 1000, and get ample time, on the
kind Of securities that would not borrow ten
thousand for the regular merchant. Specula-
tion is the order OF the day, and to such an
extent has that spirit seized the minds Of all
classes, that dreams of speculation haunt the
minds Of half our people. So much so, that q
mind on following a regular pursuit, but is
dreaming of the golden results of the brilliant
speculations, that are the theme of conversation
overgrown fortunes made in few years, that
old settled, retired men, who had accumulated
fortunes, and mad retired to enjoy the elegant
luxuries of the day, find themselves behind the
age, not able ~ cope with their nelghborS, and
in many instances have been drawn out again
to lose handsome fortune. Such was the case
with hundreds just before the suspension Of
1857. People are no longer contcllted to wait
for produce to come to market, but we see men,
not at all connected with trade, quitting regu-
lar occupations, and rushing headlong to the
West, with their pockets full Of newly issued
bank bills, to purchase wheat-all resulting in
no good to any but the banks. Nearly every
such case that comes within my knowledge, re-
suited in loss and in inevitable ruin to some of
the parties, and in one instance, Il loss OF So
900. Such specuations would not exist, but
for the facility Of procuring bank bills, and
such loans would seldom be made, if the banks
had place in the vaults ten thousand III gold
for every thirty so loaned Nor would we So
frequently hear of hundreds of thousands of
dollars Of new bank bills being sent to the
West, to be distributed through agents, were
the banks compelled to provide one third of
the amount SO sent away to be deposited in
their vaults. And were the banks under such
Il specie restraint, it would preclude TIE posi-.
hilty Of one Speculator holding sixty-thousand
bales Of cotton On borrowed capital. And were
tie banks of South Carolina restrained to legil-
mate banking, large portion of tho capital
HOW SO invested would be returned to its own
crs, to be employed in forwarding the opera
tions Of productive industry, and add to our
l,.- +l,,t - I,n
