FURTHER INITIATION FOUR NEW BANKS
AND, FINALLY, EVERY MAN HIS
OWN BANKER.
CoNFEDRIT Y ROADS,
wICH Is IN THE STATE wv KENTUCKY,
October II, 1875.
The man wich undertakes to benefit
his fellows loads up a very heavy con
track Half the citizens NV the Corners
are Il going back in the most ongratelul
manner onto th,. Unlimited Confidence
and Trust Company. They are Il gettin
$40 bushel for wheat, and about the
same for oats and corn, and men now
talk NV thousands wicII never before
knowed how to pronounce the woId, but
yet they amt happy. They hev II ham
kerin after redempshun NV some sort
I l. 4 Al.
NV ourn is agOim to he redeemed in siItlI-
in else some other kind NV mOney-ez
tho our money, backed by faith, want
eg good ez any in the world. Ef these
malcontents wood only take it and look
pleasant, there woodcnt be any trouble
about il.
But these men are not the worst we
hev to contend with. The citizens wich
are the stanchest supporters NV the new
money hev determined that, ef we hcv
the rite to ishoo mcney. they hev the
same rite And so four moo banks hev
b.,en started this week.
Mackey and Burns started one with
Mackey ez President and Burns ez Cash
Ter, with them and n nigger carpenter ez
the Board of Direkters. They hev got
the drop Oh us by requirln the officers to
give bonds, wich they accomplished by
hevin Mackey sign Burns's. Burns sign
Mackey's, and both sign the nigger ear
pente~'s Then they hev another advan-
tage over us, for they bonght their own
press and print their own notes, wich, ez
we hev to pay Simpson, the printer,
profit. enables EN- to make money cheep-
or than we kin. They call their instr
iooshun '-The NashneI Benefit AssO-
shashen," and hnv the bankin offs in
Mackev's bedroom IN thn rOgram House.
Scasely WIZ this bank hstin out mon
ev afore Squire Pettus and Gedney. the
shoemaker, started another wich they
called eThe Blessin Diffusion Bank nv
North Ampriky." with the offs in Ged
news shoe shnn, and they got ahead Of
us bv printin their notes in two ooiors,
which, | must sag, Gtyes EN- a sol ent
look
Ry this time wheat he'd got MP TO 500
per busheI, and wuz scaee at that.
Then Parkins and Barney, the p.as-
terers. who he'd made great deal NV
money since infiashen set in, they he'd TO
start n bank. wieh they called ''The
Ekitablp and Tnsashable Banking Com
panv NV the Yoonited States" and they
ishood their bills by the bushel.
Wheat went mp immeiitly to S3S per
bushel, and a moo era Of prosperity sot
| in.
Before these tnanseers he'd got fairly
under way, Butts and Busterd conclood-
| ed they'd go into bankin. and behold one
| mornin the bills NV the ''Labor Slim
yoolatin Company. Butts, President"
| made their appearance. Fhev didn't
hev any oils, for Butts sed he didn't see
no yoose NV an offs. He Good pay out
money on the street all he wanted to ef
the people wood take il, ard ez it never
wuznt a goin to be redeemed, wat did he
want Nv an offs? He wuznt a goin to
any such expense, for he believed in
economizin. To go to yOoselis expenses
wuz to show a culpable disregard ~ thg
interests Nv the people. Wheat went up
to S45 per busheI. and there WIZ more
prosperity.
Then trouble set in in chunks. The
people who wuz not interested in bankir
refoozed, pint blank, 10 take any nv theil
ishoos. Banks wuz a gettin rather too
| frekent, and the times wuz gettin rath
er too prosperous. \ reaekshen okkureC
agen our money wich we who wuz inter
ested determined to crush to want.
The offishls NV the five banks in tia
town met and decided TO hold meetiI
| NV the citizens, at wich steps shood b.
taken TO legalize our ishoos.
The meetin wus held, and Nv cours
we kerried it without any trouble, 70
seventenths OF EN- he'd our money i
their pockets, and they were very favor
able to any ackshen that wood keep it
biIin. To that end was past the folleri
