A FEW PLAIN WORDS ABOU
NATIONAL BANKS.
There are certain necessary evils which
the community has been obliged te endure
for the convenience which they have af
forded. Such evils invariably secure spe.
cial privileges at the hands of the Legisla
ture or Congress. Prominent among the
evils referred to, which immediately effect
almost every community, are National
Bunks. These pet institutions, from men
dicants a few years ago, have become the
most overbearing, discourteous, ungener
ous and heartless of the monopolies known
to modern times. They are as soulless and
as persistent as the blood-thirsty' leech.
They ignore every oue that does not come
up to their extraordinary standard, and
this standard knows nothing but pelf. They
arrogantly set up and tear down, at will,
the businesi of a community. They stow
away, in their vaults of iron and stone, the
money which the community should have
freely circulated, or they ship it to other
sections, frow the community in which it
should be employed, to be invested. They
curb the spirit of improvement when they
‘3annot control it. They arrogate to them
selves the waking and unmaking of men
financially, and woe be unto him who has
the temerity to set up for himself without
having first received their sanction. The
impious Shylocks, whom Christ expelled
from the Temple, never conceived half the
mischief, in their feeble way, that these
institutions do. And after all what is a
National Bank when it is script of its gild
ing ? It is the association of a few, or it
may be, many individuals together, who
deposit a certain specified sum of money,
invested in United States Bonds, with the
Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States, for which the government lends
them its credit to the amount of ninety
per cent. National Bank currency, as it is
called, is then issued to them for the
amount of this percentage, which, when
properly signed, numbered and stamped,
is paid out. For this amount the Govern.
merit is responsible, and the law establish
es certain checks and restrictions in regard
to discounts, etc., etc.
But what if it does ? They are violated
every secular day of the year. Take the
Tatter of discounts : There is scarcely a
National Bank,and especially of those with
which we are acquainted, that does not vi
olate this provision constantly by charging
from eight to twelve per cent. In the
face of the fact, too, that the government
is paying then] seven and three-tenths par
cent. ou th-1 deposited bonds, thereby giv
ing them actually from fifteen to nineteen
per cent. for their money. This is why
no private enterprise can successfully com
pete with them. But this is not all. They
are conducted solely in the interest of the
clique that controls them. The provisions
prohibiting the loan. directly er indirect
ly, of more than ten per cent. of the capi•
tal stock, to any one individual, is frequent
ly violated. We have heard of repeated
instances of the kind. We have known
all manner of favoritism to the clique when
others deeply interested, but not of it,
could not procure a dollar. Again, the
provision against falsely certifying checks
is frequently violated. There is scarcely
a restriction placed upon these institutions,
that :s not daily violated, and that, too, by
the officers who make out and swear to
their Jportc, and thereby save their ohar
ters, not one of which could be saved a
single twenty-four hours, were the true
state of the cage known by the Comptrol
ler.
It will be remembered there is no special
prov_sion, that we are aware of, made for
the protection of depositors. Their eyes' ,
are teeir market. The great fend upon
which a Bank is kept running is the fund
realized by deposits. This can readily be
seer iy a ,lance at a quarterly report of
any one of these institutions. When one
of them suspends, a mild term for "buts,"
Mid holders of their notes are safe enough,
but I.l_ o hold their certificates of de
posit; by ear the larger portion of their
credi.ors, are left, out it the cold. There is
no persoe-1 HAUL, clause, no personal re
sponsibility fur the indebtedness; and sup
pose, by ome hook or crook, such respon
sibility were assumed, what would it
.amoulit to from a legal standpoint Or,
toilet would personal responsibility amount
442 in a great y -lie like this ? Real estate
is not Forth twenty-five cent' the dol
lar at a fir eed sale, and, in fact, when no ,
one has say moley to Luy, it is absolutely
-worthless. Besides this, all private indebt
-edness must • e discharged first. No one
-knows how his neighbor stands until his
estate is settled up and when process is used
,ttie riehesi arc jot bitter off in the end
than those whom National Banks do not
accommodate. We have had considerable
experience in this direction. But to illus
trate : A few years ago`the great house of
Jay Cook & Co. suspended. Their assets
were reckoned by millions. Their indebt
edness was a tue,e pigmy besides their co
lossal fortune-. Now the dividends are
figured down from 15 to 20 cents upon the
dollar. These are facts, and yet people
will put the last ten dollar bill into the
National Bank, al a trifling interest, and
in this manner take it out of circulation,
and refuse to pay their small debts and
then grumble, by the hour. because people
do not pay. While if they were to pay
their indebtedness, or loan the money to
some enterprising neighbor, the c,anmuni
ty would be eased up to that extent at
least. There are thousands upon thousands
of dollars deposited in National Banks to
day, at a nominel interest, and invested by
the latter elab--'2ere,which,if it were loaned
to those need money badly, and
who would disburse it in the community,
would make money twice as - plenty as
it is, and business would go forward
almost as briskly as ever. But as it
is the National Banks have it, they loan it
elsewhere—_tart one horse side shaws, off
from the main stem, in which they loan
the money on which they are receiving
seven and three-tenths per cent. from the
Government at twelve per cent. and thus
make the handsome interest of nineteen
and three tenth per cent—and. refuse to
discount at home, or if they do, they only
allow those to have it who please the cho
sen few, who are known as discount Direc
tors. These few individuals, have it in
their power to ruin the entire business of
a community.
- - EDITOR
National Banks are extremely suspi
ci.tu. They trust no oue—save the clique
that runs them—and yet there are thous
ands who put explicit confidence in them.
The rule is : He who trusts no one is not
to be trusted. People, inst'ad of ?tinning
the risk of National Banks and tying up
their money, should 4stribute it through
out the community, because they know not
the day nor the hour, these hard times,
when these gilded institutions may topple
to the ground and the hard earnings, of a
lifetime, may be swept away. By doing so
they help their neighbors, make money
plenty, and it conies back to them in many
ways.
The National Banks have filled their
mission ; away with them ! They are the
lever that rules and ruins the country.
They make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. They fatten when the country is
lean. They give little and take all They
corrupt and debauch our public men, make
our halls of Congress a huckster shop and
convert our people into serfs.
These views upon National Banks are
not new with us. They are old, but we
have never felt like expressing them, be
cause we have shared some of the advan
tages of the evil, and we did not desire to
be charged with ingratitude, but, latterly,
one of these institutions has expressed its
opinion of us financially, and now we claim
the same privilege. No one, we think,
can take exception to this. The public any
way, ought to be enlightened. We desire
to set people to thinking.
WE did not expect, no'r intend, to please
the Huntingdon Monitor when we showed,
in reply to its abuse of the Republican
candidate for Sheriff in that county, how
good an officer an iron manager could make,
as illustrated in the case of the present
Democratic Sheriff of this county. But
then as an offset to the wrath of the Mon
itor, we pleased our neighbor of the Spir
it. The/Monitor need not be uneasy about
our mixing unduly in the lucal politics of
Huntingdon county, as the field hitherto
has not been inviting, and the JOURNAL
and Globe are abundantly able to fight
their own battles. But we will not permit
him to abuse iron managers, who are eith
er Sheriffs or expect to be, without defend
ing our Sheriff, who was long an iron man
ager, and who still is one nominally. By
the way, the Monitor is 30t pushing that
question as vigorously as it did, as we see
nothing this week about either "Farmer
Wright" or "Manager Irvin." Has that
question fallen stillborn ? From the bad
temper displayed in the Monitor artiele, we
are inclined to think that although we shot
"at long range" we "got some game" about
that office.— Chambersburg Repository.
THE Monitor twits us for not publishing
a biography of our candidate for Sheriff
immediately after his nomination. We
are not in the habit of writing by guess,
and consequently we waited until a suita
ble statement of Mr. Irvin's services were
prepared by those wbo knew therii and as
soon as it was furnished it was published.
The paper issued on the day following Mr.
Irvin's nomination contained an unquali
fied endorsement of the ticket and this
should have been enough.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
Relief Without a Doctor,
Though we would by no means be under
stood as deprecating, but rather as recom
mending, professional aid in disease, there are
multitudes of instances when it is neither
necessary or easy to obtain. A family pro•
vided with a comprehensive household specific
like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is possessed
of a medicinal resource adequate to most
emergencies in which medical advice would be
otherwise needful. That sterling tonic and
corrective invariably remedies, and is author
itatively recommended for debility, indiges
Sion, liver disorder, and irregular habit of
body, urinary and uterine troubles, incipient
rheumatism and gout, and many other ailments
of frequent occurrence. It eradicates and
prevents intermittent and remittent fevers,
relieves mental despondency, checks premature
decay, and invigorates the nervous and mus
cular tissues. Sleep, digestion and appetite
are promoted by it, and it is extremely useful
in overcoming the effects of exhaustion and
exposure. [septl4-lm.
LOOK AT YOUR MIRROR AND PICTURE
Coxes.—Much of the cord used for mirrors
and pictures is covered with wonted or wool,
and is of a material on which the moth preys,
so that at this season valuable frame glass and
pictures are in danger of demolition by reason
of this weakness. Last evening at a private
residence on State street, a costly mirror in a
heavy oval frame, five by three feet, fell sud
denly with a great crash, carrying with it the
contents of a table, lamp, &c., and causing the
greatest consternation to the people in the
room. Fortunately the lamp was not burning
at the time or the disaster might have been
fatal. It would be prudent for people to ex
amine tlir pit tore and mirror cords to escape
similar mishaps.—ilarriaburg Telegraph.
THINK OF THIS
Out of One Hundred Thousand bottles of
JAMACIA VEGETARLS HEALTH ELIXIR sold last
year, $l,OOO were saved to the purchasers.
This is one reason that we sell this valuable
medicine at Ninety-nine Cents per bottle, and
another reason is that we desire to attract
public attention to it wherever it is not
generally known. For all common diseases
such as Headache from Disorded Stomach,
Constipation, Loss of Appetite, Indigestion,
Biliousness, and a Debilitated state of the
System from Impoverished Blood, this medi
cine stands without a parallel. Regular size
