The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1894-06-14

his belief was that if proper system Of
State banks was established, by tho end
OF tho century tho country would do It's
business upon volume Of currency Of
less per capita than the volume Of cur
rency today.
Speaking Of the work accomplished by
the State banks in the past, Mr.. Harter
said the Government never had such
friend nor such an efficient ally as tho
State banks of 1860. They were stron-
ger than tho Government, maintaining
gold payments long after the latter had
suspended. The uational banking sys-
tenn, he said, was based upon the State
banks, but unfortunately for the country
since the best features of the State banks
had not been taken in establishing ma
tlonal banks. In conclusion Mr.. IIarter
pleaded With Republicans, upon patriotic
grounds, TO vote for the repeal of the
tax law, asserting that with the accom-
plishmont of that purpose would disap-
pear the greeuback crezs and tho free
silver craze.
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri: mot bit
of it,"
Mr.. Harter: "I want to say that no
man on the floor of the House gives up
so much in voting for this bill as does tho
gentleman from Missouri. A candidate
for the Presidency, [cheers and applause !
the moment he votes for this bill his
platform disappears from beneath his
feet, never moro to appear" Laugh
ter aud applause.
Mr.. Newlands, Porulist, Of Nevada,
said the disease which was sought TO be
remedied by the proposed legislation
was worldwide disease, duo to falling
prices, due to the appreciation fgold.
He criticised the bill because it was in
competent 10 do that which was eX-
pected Gift.
Mr.. Williams, Democrat, of Mlssis-
sippi. and MIR. Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Alabama, spoke briefly, aud at S. 35
O'Clock tho House adjourned until to-
day at noon.
