Cincinnati Commercial.
/ THE NATIONAL BANKS.
1 propose, hereafter, giving the status
Of these moneyed institutions in Wash
ipgtOn to your readers. Mr.. IngersolPs
bill and argument attacked them, root
| and branch. He proposes, in lieu OF
these mon0polies, to create, on pretty
much the same foundation, system OF
free banking, that will distribute the cap
ital and create facilities where both are
demanded by the wants Of trade, and
not, as now, force them to play into the
hands Of the few. He was remarkably
clear and torcible, and predict sensa.
ton for his effort.
While the National Banks are the
NEST unpopular of all our monopolies,
these men fight shy of them, and shrink
from any measure locking to reform.
Aside from the fact that every unjust
and oppressive mOneyed monopoly has
its lobby here, it is claimed that these
banks contribute heavily to the election
eering fund OF the Republican organiza-
ton. They might well do it, for their
profits during the late hard times have
bsen enormous; and the harder the
times the higher their profits.
The Government pays them heavy
per centsge for their kindness Ia using
It's credit, and they, in turn, either use
the capital thus concentrated, or shave
to the bone any unfortunate business
man who asks their assistance. 1t is
Just such load as this, and other of like
sort, such as manufacturing monopolies
and the rings, that carry our great party
Of the war hOpelessly under.

AS we have no born arlstoeraey ont of

the Congressman selects his cadet from

l am panied to write 1t, but the mill
tsry aristoerat of West Point bases his
claims on his backbone, and not his re.
refinement or his pedigree. He stands
well on his heels and calls private "my
man." When drunk, if of an smisble
temperament, he says "my good fellow.n
In either case he leans "yOu dog.u He

He deserves to be despised for ever being
ass enough to think there was anything
in West Point, or West Pointer, supe-
rior to himself.
The volunteers in the late war did all
the fighting, ana the newspapers did all
the thinking, and the West Pointers
took all the honors-that is, all tie hon.
