Increasing Rottsnness Of tho National
Banks.

Banks.
In looking over the columns of yester-
days Herald the reader can get an idea
of the unsoundness of our infamous ma.
tonal bank system. In one day there
is an announcement of the collapse of
the Unadilla National Bank, an account
of the defunct Newton National Bank,
Massachusetts, disclosures of the Weeds
port Bank defalcation, and a statement
concerning the defalcation in the Pc
quonnock Bank, of Bridgeport This is
pretty formidable amount of news for
one day of national bank failures,
swindling and corruption. It is not ne
cessary to 90 back to the thirty or forty
other cases Of failures and swinding
among the national banks during the
short period Of a year or two that the
system has been in operation. With
these the people, unhappily, are too ia
miiar; the batch of news now before us
IS quite enough to arouse public atten-
ton to the rottenness and danger of |
these institutions.
:. This Bank Of Unadilla, in Otsego |
county, of this State, which it is reported |
has made bad failure, with liabilities |
of two hundred thousand dollars. and |
with very small assets, was a safe. re /
spectacle establishment, under its old
charter, and before it became one Of the
national banks. Such was the case. too.
with several others that have failed
All this goes to show the corrupt
ing influence of the system, the Cd.
portunities for frauds and reckless spec
ulations, and how the people have been
deceived by the apparent national char
acter and name of these irresponsible
institutions The facilities for fraud and
speculation with other peoples money
are so great that honest men are made
dishonest. The whole system is loose.
