THE BANKs.-The Raleigh Standard, in an
article about Banking, says:
"Wlth respect to the incorporated banks of
North Carolina, we may say here that even if
their solvency could be fully established, their
continued existence under the present organi-
cations will be impossible. After the first Of
ouiy, IOOo, All JAIN HOteS palu out, except |
national currency and the various issues of the |
government will be liable to tax of ten per
cent, tax amply sufficient to shut them out Of
the channels Of circulation. In addition, the |
time allowed to existing banks for conversion to |
the national system, expired on the first Of July |
last, and Arther' action by Congress will be |
necessary for their admission to this privilege |
1t is we'll understood, however, that all existing
banks of the State will be compelled to go into |
liquidation, making such settlements with their |
creditors as their means will justify. The sooner
ton exchanged for specie or currency-some-
thing that is Immediately availabe-the sooner
will there be suficiency of money in the coun
try to supply circulating medium"
