WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 23, 189S
A GHOST OF WILDCAT DAYS.
Once more the ghost of wildcat
currency stalks abroad. It has en
tered the Georgia legislature in the
form of a bill to test the constitution
ality of the 10 per cent prohibitory
tax on state bank paper money, which
became an act of congress March 3,
1865. The act has been effective.
TJuder it the last of the wildcat banks
immediately passed out of business
life. Yet now, a generation later, a
bill to revive the evils that it crushed
is about to become one of the session
laws of Georgia by a substantially
unanimous vote.
The National Democratic conven
tion of 1892 pledged the Democracy
to the repeal of the 10 per cent tax.
The pledge could not have been
more explicit. "We recommend,"
said the platform, "that the prohibit
' ory 10 per cent tax on state bank is
sues be repealed." The Democratic
party gained both houses of congress,
as well as the presidency, and was
soon in position to pass a repeal bill,
but nothing of the kind was done or
even seriously attempted. The reso
lution submitted to congress on the
subject was a bit of demagogy, never
intended to be carried out in good
faith by the party. The Georgia
bill, on the contrary, is a serious
measure. It expresses a desire for a
revival of state bank currency that is
not conQned to Georgia. It voices
the present demand of the South for
cheap money.
The proposed test case will be
made up undoubtedly, and in due
time the ghost will leave Atlanta for
Washington. There is very little
reason to fear a decisijn of reversal.
The Federal statute is veryjbrief, ad
mitting of no two meanings, and the
supreme court long ago passed on its
constitutionality. The original test
case i3 known to law3-ers as Veazie
Bank versus Fenno. The law itself
reads thus :
'Every national banking associa-
tion, state bank, or state backing as
sociation shall pay a tax of 10 per
centum on the amount of notes of
ny person, or of any state bank, or
state banking association, used for
circulation and paid out by them."
The present supreme court con
sists of nine members, three only of
whom are Democrats, Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Peckham and
White. It is very doubtful if any
one of the three would favor the
resurrection of state bank currency.
Certainly Fuller of Chicago and
Peckham of New York, would op
pose such a financial calamity. Both
of them must remember clearly wbtt
a pernicious currency system this
country had before the war. Justice
While's home is in another great
financial and commercial center, New
Orleans. The other six members of
the supreme bench are Republicans,
and in all the agitation of this sub
ject of repeal and much was said
about it in the campaign of 1892 no
Republican favored the restoration
of the old system. Inter-Ocein.

In short, the O. R. & N. has set the
pace of development and it still con
tinues it with an enthusiasm and
vigor thatpromises great results to
both itself and the country from
which it draws its sustenance and
existence. There is not a better nor
a more popular railroad management

Hoarseness in a child that is subject
to crcup is a sure indication of the ap

child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this
remedy at hand and find that it eaves
