THROWN OUT.
Another bank excitement occurred here
yesterday, over the throwing out Of some
forty Wisconsin Banks. We publish the
list in the money article, On the fourth
page, where will also be found the quar-
terIy report Of the Bank Comptroller Of
that State. 1t shows the condition of all
the Banks Of Wisconsin, and is capital
document for all business men to cut out
and keep till smother is issued, on the first
Of July.
The TRIBUNE has for years past warned
the people Of the crash that is now upon
US. If it results in giving our own State
and Wisconsin 8 sound banking system,
based on specie, the business public will
patiently endure their present losses in an
ticipation Of the better times that are to
follow. Let lis hereafter have specie pay

Ne repeat the caution to all our readers
not recklessly to sacrifice their money. It
