so near utter w0rthlessness that the difference
between them Is scarcely distingushable. Those

How the Banks Bleed the People.

NEW ORLEANS. November %. 1873.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
/ am gratitied to find that you nave the
courage. or / might say independence. to
question the proprietv or the right of the
banks to continue for a longer time their
suicidal course of paying only on certified
cheeks, at the same time refusing TO dis
count paper at the regular bank rates for
the suffering business community. AS it
stands now, you may take No paper to
them, but the reply is, we can not 90 it at
regular rates, but will take it at three per
cent payable in checks, whicis OF late have
been two per cent discount. thus making
the rate of discount on that paper five per
cent per month:
Now. sir as long as the banks are allowed
to bleed the people in that way, besides
furnishing brokers with currency to buy
up their own checks, as they have and are
now doing at from one and halfto five per
cent, what object have they to resume pay
ments, Are the people to be bled in this
way for an indefinite period! | say they
will not. Should the banks persist longer
in extorting these exorbtaut rates, they
will find the provisions of the national bank
ing laws, on pages ll9 and 30, will be en-
forced against them, making them pay
back double the amount of interest received
by them. Besides, the Controller of Banks
will be called upon to annul their charters,
for receiving more than eight per cent inter
est allowed them by lave In .act, Mr..
Editor. our banks haze become nothing
more nor less than the worst class of broker
shops, and ! would advise them to take
down their signs. and put up instead three
gilded balls. The policy they are pursuing
is similar to the man in the fable who killed
tn. goose that laid the golden egg.
