Snail Notes. We regfst to see the pertinacis
ly with which an our Banks peisizt in forcing
ont small notes lof less Denomination than S51
On the community los ecirenfs.ion The paper,
engraving, numbering, filing up and signing, cost
Just as mpch for a s3 bill as il does for 800
bill. Therefore, to issue any given sum in 80
bills cost 33 l-3 times as much Is TO issue the
same amount in 800 bliss 1s3 as much as
$40 bills, and nearly twice as much as S5 bills;
and no more interest;is Obtainedfop1a loan in %
than for notes of larger denomlnatjon. Then
what great advantage is gained to the Banks, 10
compensate them for the trouble and xpensc they
incur in keeping up a large circulation Of small
notes? None that we can see, but the mean hope
Of making gain by the destruction and loss Of
these small bills in the hands Of The people, for


when they are destroyed or lost the Banks
cannot be called on to redeem them. What would
be said of wealthy individual who bough: bis
neighbors' property and gave his notes for the
purchase money in very small sums, that they
might be lost, md he not be called on to pay
them2 Would he not be scorned. and secuted os
a dishonest man2 Why, then, is suchaa course
persisted in by gentlemen having the control and
direction of our moneyed institutions Iqstead Of
giving US silver and gold for. the smallercircula-
ton, and Bank notes for the larger, why do they
endeavor to make gain in a manner that would
blast the reputation of any man in the community
for integrity and fair dealing9 And if the Banks
will keep up this practice, why do not our people
frown it down. and refuse TO take their small notes
when offered to be paid them tor loans, or for
checks drawn on thcm2 The friends and advo-
Gates of such issues say they are made for the
good of the people. If so, lee ihe profits arising
from their destruction and loss Be paid into the
Public Treasury, and thereby enure to the benefit
Of the community, and not to that Of the corpora
ton We venture to say, if such were the law
that small note issues BY the Banks would soon
become as rare as sdsite blackbirds. We. repeat
let this practice be discontinued and let the peo-
pie Of the State have gold andsiver for the small
er circulation.uizfa ssgfF E.a aage the
