A word A. to state Banks.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, re-
plying to several Of its correspondents
saws that the withdrawal of greenbacks
would be no remedy for the ills from
which the country is now suffering, and
adds:

occur again under like conditions. 1t IS

large sense responsible for the currency

dence in IL has not been shaken, and that
there have been no bank runs since the

services Of llrst-rate businessmen? From

ions on the subject.
