The history of the experiment of state
bank issues is familiar. In most cases the
experiment WAS most disastrous. The cur
rency went forth like smoke, and only a
small portion WAS ever redeemed me

New York was better, bit in the western
and southern states ii was bad enough. This
il admitted BY all who favor q return to the
state system; but they say with the utmost
confidence, having learned the evils arising
from therold ways We will do differently we
will establish a safe system and maintain II
by proper Legislation and watchfulness. 10
this il NAV be answered that in the olden
time il was not impossible TO have good
system, 1t was not question of knowledge
bat a que stion of inclinations. The people in
those days knew just as well as they know
now that their systems generally were rot
ten and would perish. II is not true to say
that they sinned entirely in ignorance; that
the systems established were the best that
could be invented. In Kentucky for exam
pie, the law required at one time that a
small amount of specie should be kept in a
bank for the purpose of redeeming its cir
culation. 4 large number of banks were
created nearly at the same time, and this
gal amount of specie was bought in New
York and deposited in Il bank. The prop
or certificate was given for the amount,
whereupon the proper certificate was
issued authorizing the bank to begin
business, then the specie was transferred to
another body of men who used 1t In the
same manner, and when all of the banks
had been established. the specie was re-
turned to New York and sold. The banks
had legal existence, issued their circula-
ton for several years and made money
thereon, but after awhile the evil day
came, the holders demanded payment and
then the banks collapsed. The state Off
GERS knew, AMI the banks knew, that the
system was rotten to the core, and what is
true in this case is equally true in many
others. We might say that generally the
people knew that the systems were I'M
sound. but they did not care to make them
better There was not 50 much profit in
a sound system: and what many sought to

II il gratifying 10 note that NJ large no
license meeting held at st. Paufs church,
Lowell. on sunday eveuint, the venerable
Hon. II. o. lloughton, formerly mayor of
Cambridge and head of the great publish
ing house of lIoughton, Miiflin s Co. was
present and made most effective speech
in favor of no-liccnse. Mr.. Houghton
said he had beer an employer of
labor for more than forty years, and he
knew the Importance of keeping hts en-
ployes temperate. During his term rs
mayor he appointed as chief of police a
man for whom great pressure had been
exerted. Sometime after complaints were
made of certain section of the city
where private bar rooms were said to ex-
ist extensively. He ordered the chief to
investigate it, but he refused, as he said il
would be unpopular. The chief was dis
missed and another man was appointed in
his place. From that moment these pr
waite liquor saloons vanished and law and
experience at that time convinced him that
the liquor law can be enforced as well as
any other. The question. said MIR. Hough-
ton. "must be KEEP, before the public con-
tiuualiy, by argument and agitation, and the
right will eventually triumph. Cambridge.
