years about this time, the bankers
supplied importing merchants with
gold to pay duties on an immense i'm
port trade. They would give the mer-
chants dollar in gold for exchange
for two or three dollars in greenbacks.
The merchant would pay the gold into
the treasury, and the treasury would
pay it back to the banks for interest.
In this way the banks, on 100000
900 Of gold, kept their stock generally
well supplied, and by means of enor-
nous discounts they were accumula-
ting immense boards of gresnbacks.-
Not satisfied with allowing their green
backs to lie idle, drawing no interest,
they made raid on congress, and in
duced that body to authorize the is
sue Of interest bearing notes, to run a
year, or two, or three, bearing Z 3-1O
per cent. interest, ostensibly to pay the
soldiers or the contractors.
But as soon as the notes were ready
to issue, by prearranged scheme, the
banks would take them all, or nearly
so, giving non-interest bearing green
backs in exchange, and generally
somebody got commission for ma
king the "sale," as it was termed. Du.
ring the period of the maturing Of
these interest notes, the banks ex-
changed 1856, ,266,542 of gold 70,
greenbacks, receiving double this
amount in currency, and receiv
ing their gold back nearly al
fast as paid out, besides drawing from
the government from 6 to 7 per cent
interest on the full face Of the green
backs they held on deposit; waiting
until the law would allow them to bt
converted into bonds.
Thus, in half a dozen years, by
"bulling" gold, and bearing the gov
srnment, they made net profit o.

unanimously adodted: When in the
course Of eveuts, which the closing of our
recent term of school occasioned the remo-
val from our midst our late esteemed and
distinguished friend and preceptor Mr..
L. G. Dick, it seems TO be Divine law of
nature that the best Of friends must part
that the strongest ties of love and friend

united, such seems and is the ways of life.
Therefore be il Resolved by the mem
bers and friends of this school that We ten
der our worthy preceptor our most sincere
thanks for his diligent and unceasiDe ed
orts TO advance the Cause of education in
our respective community, that on leaving
this community our friend carries with
him the kindest regards and best wishes OF
all that prosperity may crown his efforts
