Bills of State Banks.

For the Daily Press:
Let the Boston and Portland Banks stand
firm to their resolution, and take no more
State bills. Every bank paying out such,
whether their own or those of another, after
July 1st, is subject to fine OF 10 per cent. on
the amount paid out. Individuals can take
and pass them if they are willing to incur the
risk of their solvency, but not so the banks.
The fine on them is imperative, and even if
even the bills arc taken and sent to redeem
ing agent in Boston for credit, the fine most
probably is still incurred.
But National Banks which have faithfully
withdrawn their own State circulation have
no inducement to bolster up an irresponsible
currency. IF they sternly refuse to take State
bills, the great mass now afoat, together with
the counterfeits, will soon disappear. Sufi-
cient time has already been given to get them
out Of circulation.
If they continue to be taken on deposit,
they will still maintain fictitious credit, and
many will be re-issued as heretofore; any law
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Why should the National Banks of Port
land. now paying heavy United States taxes,
continue to redeem and guarantee the heavy
issues of banks which still decline to come into
the National system, and share its burdens
Or, what is still worse, why take the State bills
of some banks which surrendered their char
ters for National years ago; whose legal obli-
cation to redeem has expired, and yet continue
to issue and reissue the old bills in defiance
| of law and good faithl
Let the banks and merchants be firm in this
matter. Gold and high prices will certainly
not come down unless the currency is KEEP
within legal limits. That limit is large enough
in all conscience.
Persons having On hand small amoun
need not be alarmed; it can be sent home O
worked off without much loss if attended t,
soon; but in future let each ono refuse to taxi
any but National bills, and the thing is cured
