BANKING on AN O1D PR1NC1PEE DUR the Hush
times Of '36 and 81, it was not an unusual tnlng
for a set Of smart fellows to establish bank upon
capital manufac by an engraver OF printer
out of tissue paper or printers ink; but when the
e.ar,d bust IN came, years later, the practice
| became unpopular, and very straight.backe peo-
bic, even, were bold enough to call it robbery or
swindIing. Yet, as hundreds of men who we're
| considered highly honorable and were certainly /
wealthy, had been engaged in the BUSINESS, it was
thought better policy to say nothing more about it
| and let by-gones be by cones. History, however,
has preserved the fast and in some cases even goes
80 far as to name certain parties who were shining
lights among the wild cats but az few people
these days read history, very few are posted, and
the evil deeds Of the past generation, IT vas hoped,
4 slept with them their graves This was not quite
Il so, as the ow Of shinplasters which is now hood.
A ing the land proves nor has all the ways and
means Of raising the wind which were then prac-
ticed been forgotten for We have heard of several
bold strokes in that line, which certsiny shows
that this generation are worthy scions of their
sres. One Of these was made public at the Mayors
office yesterday. = i ':s.,}, ,ss.T..l 4.
4 A. man named Weaver was arrested and brought
! before his honor, changed with having issued
shiaplasters to q large arnount when ii was an
tabshed fact that he not worth ten dollars IN
: the world, thereby perpetratng syindle upsn
Is the community Weaver acknowledged having
done this, and plead in justification that it was .
plain and fair business operation He had FIVE
: dollars capital and issued small bills, redeemabe
! in sums of five dollars, to the extent Of hundreds
= and was sure Of being able when the bills were
presented to give good currency for them; for, he
I iargued, the public confidence in shinplasters is
great and but few persons will take the trouble q
n even think of collecting my bills in sufficient sumt
" to get them redeemed, and these few can AWAY
have the cash to satisfy promptly, which Will rals
IN IN my credit and make my bills circulate freely AM
h1 in the meantime have q capital to work on--no
exactly mine, it is true but just as much mine
+, hundreds Of other men, and would be poor tel
,g low indeed if I cannot make money enough in /
en few months with this capital to take up alm bill
'fn and save handsome sum besides. This reasopin
was yery good. indeed, but the Mayor, somehow
I cid not appreciate it-not having read history "
y suppose. So he ordered that the poor banke
H should be lockedup as afelon. 1T is hard case
and Weaver will, no doubt, be sympathized wit
by many, who, if the same harsh spirit had rule
,rts twenty-five years ago, would have themselVe
