LOOMING OUT THE SURPLUS
A Reminiscence of the old United
states Hank.


1t has occurred to ME, says "Gath"
in the Cincinnati EBquirer, while Con.
gress is so much concerned about how
to get rid of the surplus in the Treas
ury, that perhaps If we had United
States Bank, as in former times, this
bank could lend out the surplus and
thus keep 1t In circulation, and yet be
able TO recall II by the time tits needed.
The celebrated contest against the
United States Bank at the close of the
first third of this century was partly
personal and partly sincere. Probably
great potentiallty like the bank,
with such an able man at the
head Of IL as Nicholas Diddle,
lie men who needed its assistance.
This might be said in case the bank
was ever so pure. 1t has been found
In winding up nearly all the banks OF
the Southern States which were con-
trolled at the State capitals that the
members of the Legislature and other
political influences borrowed their
money and did not pay it back, This,
have understood, was the case with
the Bank of South Carolina; It was also
the case in Virginia before the Revolu
tionary War where the State Treasury
was used to conciliate polite planters
by loans which they did not pay back.
In making an attack upon this sys'
tenn of borrowing without paying ex.
cept in political subscrviency, Richard
Henry Lee, the precursor OF Jefferson,
| lost his influence for time in Virginia
But the United States Bank was found
n useful instrumentality long after
the Federal party went out of power
and it was rechartered by Madison's
administration. 1t had such hold
upon the public mind that when Presi
dent jackson removed Its deposits and
put them into the Government vaults,
the very man he appointed to be Sccre-
taiy of the Treasury, and to carry out
that purpose, resigned, considering
| that the bank had been such useful
thing that to destroy it In political or
| personal fight was too unpatriotic for
any good citizen to assent thereto.
| After the money was taken from the
bank 1t Jared no better in the Treasury
vaults. Levi Woodbury.. the Secretary
under Jackson, and his successors,
took portions of this money aud loaned
il to States like Arkansas, and in that
way the entire Dequest of James SmiLh-
son was lost, Arkansas repudialing the
debt, and the United States Congress
had to vote the money over again. so
that the Smithsonian Institute rep
resents Congressional money, and not
the British doner.
