Letter from a Leading Democrat
and Financier in Defence of the
National Banking System
Heavy Blow at the Advocates of
Greenback Theories.

We publish this morning one of the most
able and admirable defences of nation
al banking system which Unsupported in
this campaign. Ii is found in the letter in
our columns from VIM X. Smith. Esq. to
Hon. j. w. North. Mr.. Smith is the Treas
urer of the Augusta Savings Bank, one of
the largest, best and most important moned
institutions in the State, and is therefore
well qualified to speak upon the subject OF
banks, as his letter abundantly testifes
Mr.. Smith is well known over the State as
one of the leading citizens of
Augusta, also as long one Of the
ablest and most devoted leaders
of the democratic party in Maine
In writing and publishing this letter he has
acted solely from considerations of duty.
We trust it will be an example which will
not be lost upon the thousand, Of other
democrats in the State who are sincerely at
heart in sympathy with the Honest Money
cause. Let them speak out boldly and
honestly as Mr.. Smith has in this matter
and they will never regret it. Every
friendsof Honest money will thank Mr.
Smith for his sterling letter

We had a greenback gathering here last
night. Mr.. --- presided and opened the
Jart.
He informed the poor farmer, that few
years ago he could bring twenty-tour pounds
of butter to market, and pay a twelve dollar
tax; now it took II hundred pounds. But he
failed to inform the poor laboring man that
he could get his butter some cheaper now
than then. That kind of fodder requires but
ter on both sides. He then introduced the
grccnback Harper,-not the chap who played
on a harp of IA thousand strings, but green
back orator of that name, who had been sent
by the suffering grcenbackers of the West
to aid the suffering greenbackers of Maine, and
show them how to get ont or in (it makes
no difference which, some more suffering.
| fingered around in the vicinity in order
to ascertain what was the line of greenback
argument this year, and it is this Abuse of
every man high or low, rich or poor, repub-
lican or democrat, who believes in that old
fashioned maxim. 'llonesty is the best pol
icy" The audience was very small, and why
shouldn't it be! Resumption has taken the
wind out of Peenbackism, and when you
have got the wind out, you have all there was
of it. When man has been blown up by
nitro glycerine, and you have found his skull,
bury ii, don't fool away any time hunting
after more remains. We have found the
skull of greenbackism, and | propose to as
sist the republican party in burying it in Sep
TENDER by voting for the Hon. Daniel F..
Davis.
Yours in the cause of Honest Money.

now, was only happy when it could foment
distrust in regard to financial affairs and in
situations, and excite commotion and discon-
tent among the masses. But, at the end of
every decade which terminated the charters
of the Banks, they were renewed by the Leg
islature. without question or opposition from
any source, in obedience To the demands of
the public will by which they were acknow
lodged rs Indispensable to the transaction of
the business of the State. SO will it be in
regard to the National Banks, when the term
of their charters expire, as il will in few
years. The business interests of the country
will demand that the safe, convenient almost
faultless system OF Banking now in existence
shall be continued The Banks will be re-
chartered, and their bcnefcient influence and
aid continued in the promotion of enterprise,
and in the development of the resources Of
the State and nation. Instead of the Bank
ing system of the country being overturned
and abandoned, at the call of the turbulent
and communistic element of the day, it will
be still further improved, wherever it can be
seen that improvement can be made. 1t will
be the dcmagogues of the hour who incitc
the bad element among our people, who will
find an overthrow and oblivion well earned
and well merited.

PRUDENT STOCK spECULATIONs.

The Stock Exchange never presented such
an admirable condition for profitable and
rapid stock operations There never before
have been SO many fortunes made by quick
fluctuations and skilful manpulatons. Care
full and reasonable people only operate through
the combination system of Messrs. Lawrence
< Co., which enables those with large or small
means to invest and realize handsome profits,
which are divided pro rata among the share
holders every thirty days. New combinations
are constantly forming. From .S25 to $4,000
can be safely invested with splendid opportu-
mites for quick profits. An Illinois grain
dealer made Sl3,22O.4l in two investments.
A Michigan farmer invested $50, which yielded
S433. A. He made by three re-investments
over $1,000. A Wisconsin country merchant
made $4,249. l6 in four combinations; and
others have done equally as well. New ex-

the National Banking system.

President First National Bank Of i"g'Sid !:
DEAR SIR.-Impressed with the conviction
that the masses of the people are not fully
aware of the advantages of the national bank
ing system, and that the attacks being made
upon it have no substantial foundation, | beg
leave to submit to your consideration and dis
posal, some views which, as a very humble
individual, | entertain in relation to the sub
iect. Very respectfully yours,

or ABOUT One-seVcnth OF the whole city tax.
Now, in the event of the extinction of these
three bank, the bonds now held by the gov
eminent as their capital will of course be re-
turned to the stockholders. As soon as they
reach their hands they become non-taxable.
The result, then, may be seen at glance.
Half a million of dollars, or about one-ninth
part of the taxable property of the city, is
swept out of existence. The valuation of the
city being thus reduced the amount required
to be raised by taxation remains the same.
1t must be assessed on the valuation reduced
half million dollars. The tax of every
citizen must. therefore, be CORRESPONDENCE
increased, adding not less than ten per cent.
to the taxable burdens of taxpayers. Nor is
this all. The facilities furnished by the
banks in the way of loans stimulate business
enterprise ana activity, by which taxable
already in existence is enhanced Destroy
the national banking system, and the taxable
property of the State will be diminished be-
yond what is above indicated the ability to
carry on business enterprises greatly Grip
Piled, and public prosperity will wither and de-
cay.
The sudden winding up Of the National
Banks, demanded by the extreme opponents
of the system, can only be contemplated with
fear and trembling. A financial crash would
be sure to follow, compared with which all
the money panics which have marked the
history of the country for the present century
would pale and grow dim. Wide spread and
general disaster must follow the immediate
and compulsory payment of the vast sums
loaned by the Banks, and invested in the
business enterprises of the day. Such a
result, it is safe to say, would involve the
failure of three-fourths of the business men
of Maine, and the final bankruptcy of the
larger portion of them. Business must come
to standstill, industry langush, labor be
without demand, and want and starvation
threaten the laboring masses on every hand.
! Such is the entertainment to which the peO-
pie are invited by the mad zealots who aspire
! tJ control events, and who demand the sacri-
fee of the National Banks to their insane and
violent ideas. 1t would be a sacrifice to the
Moloch of ignorance, stupidity and folly.
But it is a sacrifice which will not be made
These wild demands will be denied and their
authors will fail in their designs and schemes
The conservative element of society is still
strong and potential. 1t will assert itself in
the successful maintenance of sound bank
ing system, just and true business principles,
the great business enterprises in which the
industrial interests of the State are so deeply
involved and with which the prosperity Of
the whole people is indissolubly linked.
The old State Bank system, supplanted by
the fierce hostility of class, who then, as
