AN ILLUSTRATION.

Tn sundays Times we printed the re-
mort of the condition of three of Rich
mond's leading banks at the close Of
business on october 2, 1891 They were the
Fust National, the Planters national ana
the state Bank. The State Bank IS the
Youngest of the three. The First Ma
tjonal shows deposits amounting to Sl,45'-
05217, the Planters. 81, 4i9 iOS.6O, the state
81. 405 07392 Now, although the state
Bank is the youngest of the three banks
it is plain that it appeals as strongly 10
the confidence Of the people as either OF
the others. Can any man give any
sensible reason why the first two should
be allowed to strengthen themselves, If
they see way to do It, by Issuing their
notes, while the third is to be forbidden
to do SO? The answer IS, The National
bank-notes are secured by Government
bonds But even II the state Bank had
Government bonds, 1t could not. under the
laws issue notes; IL would have to get
Government charter to do so. And why
should Government bonds be essential to
secure bank-notes2 Are they the only
reliable basis of credit? If So when they
are retired, what are we to do for bank
notes?
The State Bank has a capital Of 100000.
If the arbitrary and tyrannical statute
which denies ii its natural right TO put
out its notes were not in existence, it
could issue something like 100000 Of notes,
which would increase its loanable fund
just that much. What blessing that
would be to Richmond! The State Bank
is as sound and as prudently managed
as any institution in America, and its
reputation as such is absolutely necessary
to its existence. Is there any probability
that it's management would change to a
reckless and improvident one, merely be-
cause it was given authority to issue
its notes? Would not its credit and
reputation be just as essential 10 it then
as 1t is now? And would the public. con-
sequenty, run any risk of having worth
less notes put out upon it?

MORk TESTIMONY.

on Sunday. the goth OF September we
printed letter from the Hon. John De
witt Warner to the Richmond Locomo-
tive Works, asking IT for specimens Of
the certificates II issued TO Its workmen
during the late panic. with the reply to II
Of Mr.. Trigg. president Of the company.
Mr.. Warner has answered Mr.. Trigg's
letter. and We print the answer as
follows:
New York. oct. /, 1894.
Mr. VIM II. Trlgg, President, ETC.,
NV Dear Sir,-I am greatly obliged by
your favor of the 18th. with enclosure or
specimens OF script issued by your COM
pany. and more 80 for your very interest
ing memorandum as to the circumstances
and success Of the issue.
! agree with you entirely that the ces-
satiOn OF Government obstruction to the
use of legitimate commercial expedients
for note currency Is the one financial re-
form most urgently demanded, ana Which
must be had before others will be prac-
tcabie. Sincerely, ,r,
JOHN DE WITT WARNER.
The facts stated in Mr.. Trigg's letter 10
Mr.. Warner ought to be spread all over
this land. lie made the astounding state

900 men, when it could get no money at
bank to pay off its men even, by issuing
its own certificates from time to time 10
the amount Of $3.50 900. All this great sum
has been paid off.
Now, is not the whole case for the re-
peal Of the tax OF ten per cent. on the is
sues of State banks argued out Wheh
these facts are stated? Here is case III
which an immense transaction has been
900 men and their families
were supported through the greater part
Of year and not one dollar OF money was
used, except what was necessary 10 make
fractional change. Not only so, but niue
money also has ever been actually used TO
pay off the certificates. The company got
for it's work by checks, lhese
checks were deposited in the Richmond
bal ks TO its credit, and its certificates,
for the most part, were taken there and
charged I'D against it's credit, and re-
turned to the company as vouchers
against the credits. and the merchants
having the certificates received credit at
bank for them. The whole transaction mas
been operated through transference Oh
credits that rested on property, ana not
on money. But it would have been aDSo-
lutely impossible for the LOCOMOTIVE
Works 10 perform its contracts II II
had not made this use Of its credit IL
was not able to get any money at all Tor
its business. and it would have had sim
ply 10 throw up its contracts with disas-
trous results If it had not performed them
in the way described. Cannot every man
see from this case that the thing impef-
atively needed is the repeal Of the ten
nor cent. tax that the letters on the credit
of the people may be broken!

THE Virginia RACE HORSE.

The triumph of Henry of Navarro in
the great tripartite trial at Morris Park
before 5000 people brings again conspicu-
ously TO the front the claims of Virginia
bred race horses. The sire of Henry of
Navarro was knight of Ellerslie, who
was bred and born at Ellerslie, the
stock farm of Captain r. j. Hancock.
in Albemarle. whose sire was the great
Eolus. who stin reigns at Ellerslie; his
dam was Moss Rose, by Imported Illused,
out of Scarlet, daughter of Kentucky.
by Lexington, by Boston, who was bred
and born in Henrico county.
The dam of knight of Ellerslie, Lizzie
Hazelwool. by Scathelock, and his grand
dam, the famous War Song. daughter of
War Dance. both sleep the sleep that
knows no waking at Ellersle farm.
This Henry of Navarro last Saturday
fairly "downed" the hitherto unbeaten
Domino. the popular idol, and beat the
crack western race horse, clifford.
The event was one4 which must warm
the hearts of all vifgnians. who feel
pride In the fame Of the thorough
breds of the old STATE.

OYSTER Pirucy.

One man has been sent the peniten-
tiary from Elizabeth city county for IL
legal dredging of oysters. and this is a
fair warning that the oyster law will be
enforced, and the State tenants as well
as the oysters themselves be protected
from marauders who are given very
much TO the defiance Of the rights Of

the supply Of oysters, which can be MAIN
tanned only by a proper regard for the

vent the exhaustion of the beds and the
wanton destruction of the crop. When
