sOur community is flooded with all
kinds of Eastern Bank Note Bills.
They are paid out for labor, merchandise
provisions, and marketing, and returned
again by the country people to our mer-
chants, thus kept continually whirling
in and around our city 1t is a great
nuisance, especially at the present time,
when we have a National Currency,
which is as good as the Banks. Bank
fers and all the people of every occupa-
tion in the whole country, put together.
1t is bore for most of our people to
take these Eastern Bills, because they
are to great extent, ignorant as to their
solvency, or are compelled to carry
Bank Note Reporter in their pockets, to
pull out on most occasions on receiving
those bills, to exmine if the institutions
is o. K. at home which may be one
thousand or fifteen hundred miles off,
where every dollar, of the money ought
to be. The names of some of them are
neither easily spelt or pronounced. For
instance;
Cobbosseecontee, Kenduskeag, Pejepscot
Sagadahock, Ashuelot Pawtucaway,
Pennichuck. Piscato4na Snnhenan. A G.
Quincy, Mississqnoi, Pynchon, Quinsiga-
mond, Aquidneck, Quinebaug, Pahquio-
que, Pequonnock, Quinnipiac, and Phth-
chesiciokopototupolis Banks
Can one of our citizens pay for his
dinner in Vermont with Western Bank
Note Bills Would the host take the
trouble to fumage over Detecter to
hunt up the standing of the Bank mote
at home? 1t is folly for our people to
take all kinds of currency, as most of
them do, in ignorance as to its standing
at home, They would not take individ-
ual notes, knowing nothing of the solv-
ency Of the maker; why take piece of
paper with a ship under fnll sail, group
of Indians, and railroad train under
Roadway, or man ploughing with a
yoke of oxen on it, without knowing
anything about the institution it halls
FROM
We have some more /" shin plasters,"
Ricketts,, James and Rockport. These
enterprising concerns are in their circu-
lation narrowing money of the public
without interest They may be good to-
day. Suppose an individual banker
was to die what guarantee have the pub
lie his successor administrator would
redeem it short of one-or two years Is
it right in principle for the public to
countenance the issuing Of individual
Notes-Paper currency decorated with
printers ink, having the semblance of
paper money, without bulwark of the
right kind of stock in the rear to back
them up.
Is it patriotic to take the aforesaid
every d6faai mat # cmffec66ated inure the
Government that much ? Does not the
Government save the interest on every
dollar of Greenblcks that circulates :?
Do not the people and the Government
in putting down this ruinous, causeless
rebellion, by receiving and discussing
! the Government money to the exclusion
of every thing else, thereby supplying
the Government with the sinews of war,
without interest. The burden is light
and the people will cheerfulIy carry it
How much does the Government save
annually in interest in the circulation of
only a hundred millions dollars of Green
backs among the people at 6 per cent
per annum Ans. Six millions dollars.
Then away with all else but Greenbacks
away with it. Noah.
