THE BANKS AND LEGISLATION

IL ID n ~ hC n ~ ~ lola lSANe
1t is not true as the Times would
have the public infer, that the banks
have refused to befrierd the govern
ment. Il was tue banks that came for
ward i'll 1861 and furnished the means
for creating an army and navy. They
did not wait to be coerced. They vol
unteered their aid and it was accept
ed. And it was the banks that alb
sorbed the bulk of the loaus during
the war, until the volume become so
large that home capital was inadequate
to absorb them.-NOrth american.
The banks should pray TO be deiy-
cred from such friendly offices as the
foregoing. 1t is true, as we stated,
that that the bal IS loag hesitated
about aiding the government in 1861,
and it WIS doubtful for many days af-
ter the first loan was proposed whether
it would not fail because of the unwill-
ingness of the banks, as a rue, to ia
vor it. There were honorable excep-
tions, but the rule of the banks at that
time was to profit by ,mpairing the ma
tiopal credit instead of uniting to sus-
tain it.
1t is true, also, that the banks almost
without exception, resisted the present
national banking law, because 1t limit
ed their circulation and compelled
them 10 maintain the national credit
by banking on government bonds.
They then threatened to conyulse
business circles, as some of them at.
| tempted 10 disturb business last week,
] Inv 81. i
It Was not until it became evident that
| the people would make new banks
and do their own banking, that the
Old banks sullenly accepted The present
! law.
During the eighteen years of the
operations of the present banking law
the National Banks have raid to their
shareholders the largest dividends, and
accumulated the largest reserves OF
profits, known i'll any legitimate bust
ness o. the country. They made their
profits legitimately as a rule, and there
can be no just complaint against them
because of their prosperity; but they
have been the most favored OF all the
institutions created by the government,
and their ostentalious resistance To the
Dew running Dlll, 10 the extent OF sud
denly and violently disturbing all the
circles of commerce, industry anC
trade, was simply an ungrateful anc
unwarranted attempt to coerce the leg
islation of the government.
The section OF the new bill to which
they most violently object would hav,
been less undeI stood and appreciated
had the banks not so clearly tauph
the necessity for restraining them from
speculative IevulSions in business, b,
just some such provision of law. Tn,
revolutionary movement of a numbe
of the banks which produced a none
} tary revulsion within the last week
points the necessity for making tn
repetition of such assaults upon value
= and business impossible hereafter, an
what the banks have SO impreasiyel
taught, Congress and the country wi
be certain to make its judgment on til
banking law at no distant day. If til
present Congress shall not do it bt
cause the banks and the reVolutionist
IN Congress prevent legislation, til
next Congress will.-Phild. Iinaet.
