Second National Bank.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
Of the Second National Bank was held at
the bank parlor on Tuesday at 10 o'clock
with large attendance of the stockholders.
Messrs. ID. M. Estey, w. A. Woodland. f..
Salisbury, G. T.. Rigley, b. Buckminster, j..
Ill. Calkins and A. ID. Whipple were re-
elected directors for 1891. The directors at
a subsequent meeting reelected the follow
ing officers:
President-D. NJ. Estey.
Vice President-E. Salisbury.
Cashier-A. ID. Whipple. /.
Asst. Cashier-M. Miner.
At The stockholders meeting it was de-
cided to surrender the charter as National
Bank and organize under the State law as q
savings bank to be known as the OwOsso
Savings Bank. AS the u. S. bonds owned
10y the bank and held by the u. S. as Sc
curity for circulation mature this year and
the premium on longer term bonds was so
great the above action was decided upon.
The national bank act prevents loans being
made on real estate which is permitted
under the State law.
During the past year fifteen banks have
been organized under the State law. Six of
them were formerly national banks.
According to the report made to the Com
missioner of Banking, Dec. 10th, 1890, the
deposits i'm the 106 State banks i'm Michigan,
exceeded the deposits of national banks by
a little over S7.000,000 showing that the
State banks are very popular with the
masses.

The annual meeting of the board of di-

The finance committee made report of
the business of the year. The total receipts
from all sources since Dec. 81, 1889 to Jan.
10, 1891, were So, 474.41, of which $500
was from the sale of tickets at the fair.
The expenditures included S1,0S6.62 for
premiums; $475 race purses; $275 for per-
manent improvements; So l6 for advertising;
expenses, labor, insurance, ETC., 1898; Off
GERS salaries Sis; note and interest paid;
$404.3 80. Balance cash on hand $294.0O.
Outstanding orders S24.59. There are yet
q few unpaid premium orders and accounts,
which when paid, will doubtless leave a
balance of $500 in the treasury. 1t will
therefore be seen that the association last
year Melted about 5000.

Michi4an state Grange.


The report of the executive committee Of
the Michigan State Grange has been pre-
pared In pamphlet form and can be secured
of Judge j. S. Ramsdell, Traverse City.
A most thorough study of the agricultural
problem Is undertaken, the effect OF free
coinage of silver Is considered and n safe
plan for increasing the currency OF the
country submitted without adding to the
wealth of the mine owners. The circulat-
ing medium of the country of all kinds Is
one billion four hundred million dollars.
The annual increase i'm business demands.
of about ten per cent requires the increase
of about S140. 900, 900 to maintain the pres
ent ratio of currency to business. This in
crease Is to be met by the government pur-
chasing the output of American mines at its
coin value and paying for this bullion in
coin certificates, less charge sufficient to
cover coinage. The plan would secure the
gain to the whole people. Government
loans as provided In the Stanford bill are
not considered desirable from any point OF
view, not even from that of the farmer.
The ware house plan is disposed of as alb
surd and unsuited to Republican form of
government. Agricultural depression Is
found not to be confined to the United
States, but world wide. The expansion of
agriculture has out run consumption, to-
gether with the ease of movement of pro-
ducts. which brings the market and the
fields tog ether, has made the depression
widespread. The results of the recent
census show that i'm the states east of the
Mississippi river the rural population has
comparatively decreased showing that the
same amount of land is titled with less
labor and with no diminishing return, and
a portion of the surplus labor has opened
new tracts of agricultural land i'm the west.
This report should be carefully studied.
