The Waco evening news. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 1891-1894, 1893-02-25


Senator Jester seems to fear, with a
fear which is startling, the advent of
state banks of issue, la an inter-
view with a Gazette reporter, he says:
"If state banks Of issue were
organized with all these federal con-
sti,ulional prohibitions declaring that
tn, notes issued by such banks were
not legal tenders, then creditor could
refuse to accep, such notes from a
debtor in pa, ment of debt, and do.
mand in lieu thereof sucA notes as
were recogniz as legal tender money
by the federal constitution. This
would create a chaotic financial con
diuon which would be as perncious
IN effect as was the case when the
"wild cat" and "red dog" bank MONEY
was in circulation. The OILY way to
avoid this is to establish SIMPLY state
bank, of discount, deposit and ex-
change, leaving the issuing of m ney
to the genersl government where IT
belongs
To THE News it seems the Navarro
statesman is unduly excited. He
should not permit visions OF wild
cats" and unruly cred dogs to dis
turb the equpoiso of his usual
accurate judgment. For 10 these
many years creditors of this nation
have been demanding ard receiving
gold-nothing but gold, aud the m 4
who digs and plows is still G ad to &c,
his silver dollar for his days work.
Chaos is not obliged to coma, Mr.
Jester, because some man in Indians
m ght not want note issued by 0
Texas bank.
