pie with funds Of its own manufacture.
There. probably has been good excuse
for the action Of the State Banks in
Withholding their issues, bat We think
there is none now. The people AK for
good funds and our own banks have the
power to farnish it, or If it we're not SO,
what use can there be in having any
saeh concerns. Ohio people use Ohio
State money; and 20 in Indiana, Mis-.
soui. and. Eastern Statss. People in
general prefer to do business with thei.
home banks, and the same feeling
abonnds in THE State.
Turn out aud keep out the 1llinoil
trash. and in its atead give ". n. good
honest currency Of the State Of IOWA
That is what the people expect, and that
. what they should have.
