ii Prediction Verified. Mr.. Webster, IN
his great speech upon the Sub-Treasury
Bill in 1887, predicted d second suspension
of the banks if the Government should
continue its war upon them, The follow
ing was h's language:


"Sir, We may talk as much as We please
about the resumption of specie payments,
but tell you that, with Government thus
warning upon the banks, if resumption
should take place, ANOTHER SUSPENSION
FEAR WOULD FOLLOW. 1t is not war, sue
cessful, or unsuccessful, between Govern
ment and the banks; it is only PEACE,
TRUST, CONFIDENCE, that can restore the
prosperity of the country. This system OF
perpetual annoyance to the banks, this
boarding up of money which the country
demands for its own necessary uses, this
bringing of the whole revenue to act, not
IN AID and FURTHERANcE, but in DIRECT
HINDRANCE AND EMBARRASSMENT OF COM
MERGE AND BUSINESS, is utterly irreconcile-
able with the public interest We shall see
no return of former times till it be ADAM
DoNED-ALToeETHERA ABANDONED"
