National Bank- Whiggery DOdging Again


In every thing but the Tariff-snd in certain
quarters, not excepting that-the Wing leaders


will attempt to. play the two faced game which
they played in 184O. Clay himself has shown two
or three faces on the Tariff to suit the South, the
East, and the West He makes no honest decla-
ration as to National Bank though at the com
mencemCnt of the last session of Congress, he pro-
posed the revival of Bidde's rotten concern. He
now merely says he is in favor of ''sound ma
tional cu,rency"-as if gold and silver were not
sound He thus gives the cue to his supporters
who express opinions modified by locality. For
instance, the Albany Evening Journal, the federal
organ published at New York, repudiates Ma.
tional Bank in the strongest terms. Onthe 21st
of March, 1914, it spoke as follows "


"The locofocos are greatly distressed for a "Na
tional bank" issue. They have 80 long had the
benefit of the Monster; that It seems cruel TO rob
them of it. But the truth is we cannot afford to
CRAFTY them in this respect We must go into
this contest unincufnbered. We shall indeed ''Say
nothing about bank and for-the reason that we
care nothing about it. AS an. individual Whig,
we hope never to see another United States Bank
chartered, not but that such an institution was
vastly useful but because hope the country will
not again be CORRUPTED and convulsed with sfug-
gle for its re-charter. 1t is far better to- forego the
advantages of Bank than to hazard the bank
ruptcy, ruin and distress which was brought upon
us in the recent conflict between the government
and the Bank. Van Bnrenism, therefore cannot be
grati6ed, this time, with Bank campaign"
