FIRST BANK IN AMERICA.
Boston Institution That Issued
100000 in Scrip in IVA.

From the National Magazine.
The 1rst bank in America. located on
State street. Boston, loaned money on
, real estate, personal property and i'm
periShable merchandise. though it had not
the privilege of issuing money. then a
prerogative of the Bay State colony
discontinued business and was started
in liza. ten years after the first news
paper was printed in Boston. The new
bank carried on business and issued
S4oo.o00 in scrip on the basis now sought
oy certain financial promoters and lead
ers. 1t was scrip anu nothing but scrip.
and consequently the bank was short
lived
in 1142 land bank was founded by
several hundred subscribers who gath
cred in Boston as the bankers are meet
ing today and who attempted to relieve
the scarcity Of specie by issuing scrip
based on real estate holdings. A specie
bank was also founded about. the same
time, but both Institutions found it as
Impossible to compete with the bills Of
credit issued by nearly every colony
as it would he today to rival the govern
ment in mining money. All this paper
money rapidly deprecated in value,
owing to the constant and heavy eXpend-
iture for military movements of offenSc
and defense against the Canadian French
ana their Indian allies.

of North America of Philadelphia re

chusetts in March. 1884. an institution
which is still in operation as the First
