Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Battle: A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency, including an account of the first United States Bank, - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who, like the father of Sir Robert Peel, believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good, in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking, - a system which has produced panics at will, and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers, rail road wreckers, and those industrial tyrants of modern times, the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegat ing purely government powers to these greedy monopo lists, by which they are enabled to organize a money trust, far more tyrannical than all the other combina tions now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the National-Bank Currency It should be noticed, to begin with, that the founders of the present national-bank note system frankly recog nized and avowed other purposes than the simple purpose of establishing a sound and elastic currency. They had in view two special considerations, each of which was of greater immediate importance in 1864 than elasticity in the currency, but neither of which is of vital importance at the present day. The two foremost problems of the Administration in 1864 were, first, to finance the civil war; second, to provide for the future cementing of the union of the States. This explains why, advocating in his report of 1862 a system of bank-note currency secured by government bonds, the Secretary of the Treasury set forth, as the chief advantages of such a system, that the negotiation of bond issues by the Government would be greatly facilitated; that it is not easy to appreciate the full advantages of such conditions to a government obliged to borrow; that it would reconcile, as far as practicable, the interests of existing institutions with those of the whole people; and that it would provide a firm anchorage to the union of the States.

Uniformity in banking has inevi tably been a lesson of prime importance to the people. Slowly and almost unconsciously they have been taught that honesty in monetary legislation and abso lute protection against the schemes and projects of unscrupulous speculators are the foundation-stones of material prosperity; starting from these principles, and steadily erecting the superstructure in the same spirit, they have, under these in uences, won the respect and admiration of rival powers.

Questions whose solution was doubtful and disputed have been settled to the satisfaction of intelligent men. The gold standard, which was described twelve years ago as a conspiracy against the human race, has been adopted in succession within that time by the United States, Russia, Austria - Hungary, Japan, and Mexico. Practically the only country remaining upon the silver standard is China, which is without a national monetary system, and even as these pages go to press despatches from China indicate that the government is planning such a national system to be based ultimately upon gold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Establishment of the National Banking System: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1. The national banking system was established in the United States in 1863. Contrary to popular belief, it was not an entirely new venture in the field of banking. If one keeps in mind that uniformity and stability of currency were the great ends sought by its founders, one must confess that these features of a sound bank-note circulation had long been Sought after in many Of the individual states. Both Mr. Chase, who was Secretary of the Treasury when the national system was established. And Senator Sherman, who made the chief speech in the Senate in behalf of the bill, pointed out that the national banks would not be entirely in the nature of an experiment.1 Indeed, Senator Sherman asserted that the bill ought to aecom plish only what all the statesmen of the country had attempted up 'to that time.2 This was, however, not strictly true. As is well known, some had been altogether opposed to anything re sembling a national bank, or a national banking system. Sher man came nearer the truth when he declared that every party that had been organized in this country from the foundation of the government to the present day had, at some period of its history, sought to accomplish the object of a uniform cur rency.3 The reader will recall that the Federalists, under the lead of Hamilton, had brought about some semblance of order in the currency, by the creation Of the United States Bank. For twenty years this gave the country a somewhat stable cur reney. Following the expiration of the charter Of this bank there was a period of four or five years of local bank issues, a time of great confusion and disorder. Then followed the establishment of the Second United States Bank, by the Re. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Financing an Empire, Vol. 2: History of Banking in Illinois The Commercial National had built its deposit account up to fifty million dollars, without merger or consolidation when on September 1, 1909, it took over the Bankers National Bank. The Bankers National Bank was a promi nent institution and had deposits in excess of twenty million dollars, As a part of this consolidation plan the capital-stock of the Commercial National was increased to seven million dollars. The Bankers National made, therefore, an important addition to the components of what subsequently became the Continental and Commercial National Bank. On April 1, 1910, the capital stock of the Conimercial National Bank was increased to eight million dollars. At the same time the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank was organized with capital of one million dollars. Early in 1910 negotiations were opened by the Continental Bank's officials with the directors of the Commercial National Bank with a view to unifying these two interests. The negotiations were brought to a successful conclusion and on August 1, 1910, the Continental National Bank and the Commercial National Bank were merged under the name of the Continental and Commer cial National Bank of Chicago. The new bank had a capital of twenty million dollars and surplus of ten million dollars. The number of banks which were consolidated or merged before the final consolidation of interests August 1, 1910, had been reduced to four major units in the year preceding. The four institutions were the Continental Na tional Bank, the Commercial National Bank, the Commercial Trust and Sav ings Bank and the American Trust and Savings Bank. As a part of the general merger the American Trust and Savings Bank and the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank were consolidated under the name of Continental and Com mercial Trust and Savings Bank. The capital stock of this institution was owned by the stockholders of the National Bank. Thus the union of national and state bank - of commercial, savings, trust and investment business - was insured.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the First National Bank in the United States: A History of the First National Bank of Davenport, Iowa, Preceded by Some Account of Banking Under State Laws and Early Banking in Davenport In presenting this little volume to the public the aim has been to set forth in concise form the facts leading up to the establishment of the first bank which opened its doors for business under the National Bank Act of 1863, together with a history of its progress for the half century of its existence, and to make plain the marked advance which has occurred during the past seventy years in lifting the banking institutions of the United States on to a higher plane of efficiency, stability and permanency. Naturally, more than ordinary interest attaches to the first of any species, and so a great many requests have been made that the history of the bank which first began business under the law of 1863 should be compiled. The National Banking system has grown to be such a powerful factor in handling the fiscal transactions of a great commercial nation; it has done so much to furnish the people with a safe and uniform currency, and its wise and sound provisions have exerted such a wide influence in shaping legislation governing State banks in the different commonwealths of the Union, that a desire naturally arises to know more of the bank which first set forth under that system to transact a banking business.
