Banks and Banking.

~AAA~N4DN
It is said by the currency men that wo must
not legislate in any manner to enable the. bill
holder 10 proceed against the banks for any
Of their delinquencics, for the reason that they
have nothing but the bonds, and we should
only be injuring OUT own interests.
Men act from motives, and if this be true,
why need the bankers fear being di$abled-if
they have nothing, surely there can be no very
good reason why the bi1l.holders should not
have such legislation as will give them tAe
control Of their own property.
Our State, through its banking policy, has
compelled our people to lend the Southern
States on their bends $o,ooo, 600. This is the
unrarnlshed truth; and what is more unprecc:
dcnted and singular, il, that the agents who
have pcrfoEmedthis service under the name of
bankers, are permitted to be called the owners
Of the bonds, and draw the interest on them,
upon the consideration Of their putting 10 per
cent Of their own meney into the speculation.
If the Law makers ever did anything to pp-
press the people, it was done when tAis was
legalizea- II they ever owed duty to them
selves and the people, it Is to purge our State
courage capital add energy Is seek home
among us, instead Of banisiling them from our
borders By a financial pesti1cnee, as destructive
to business as the ague is to physical health.
The policy Of SO amending the Law rs to al
low the bill holders to control the assets Of n
bank in liquidation, is based upon the general
principle that self interest will govern them in
retiring the circulation, as well as the banker
who is not in liquidation; Us also in marketing
the bonds withdrawn by return Of bills. =
Actual capital is what Illinois wants, more
than any other State, to govern her, lnancial
policy, and not evidences of indebtedness
against 6tntes who know how to make bonds
much better than they can command the means
to pay them.
Let the transcript of the Indiana Bank law,
now before the Committee on Banks, he care.
fully scrutinized, and then put through the
Legislature. With that system well manned
