a number of them, claiming that they were compelled to do so in self defense. Including the three which were discredited some time ago, the list of uncurrent now stands as follows. Here follows a list of twenty-two banks, which we omit for want of space. But this was nothing compared to what transpired later. Panic reigned supreme everywhere, and we cannot better describe the situation than by reproducing an article from THE REPUBLICAN under date of June 28, 1861: THE MONEY PANICIN WATERTOWN.This has been a badly excited town since last Saturday, when intelligence reached here that ten of the banks in the guaranteed list had been thrown out in Milwaukee and were no longer current. It soon became noised about that the bottom had fallen out of the arrangement cooked up by the bankersi in April, and the consequence was a rushing to and fro of every one who had a dollar of Wisconsin currency in his or her pocket, anxious to pay debts, or buy goods, or in some other way rid themselves of it. On Monday the furor was stronger than ever. Some of the merchants refused to takeit on any terms whatever, and closed their doors, while others took it at a discount of from twenty to thirty per cent., and others still taking it at its face. In the afternoon the Jefferson County bank and the Bank of Wisconsin declined to receive deposits, while the Bank of Watertown stood up to the rack manfully, taking all that came along from its regular customers, though the business it was doing must havesmacked strongly of "biled owl." Tuesday there was less commotion, the merchants depositing with the two first named banks declining to sell any goods except for specie, while those doing business with the latter institution kept on selling as usual until 4 o'clock, when they, too, having been notified that deposits would no longer be received there, "shut down the gate" and a blockade at once rested upon trade. Thus matters stood until Wednesday morning. when dealers offered to take the bills of thirty-four banks known as the Farmer's and Miller's list. and business again began to flourish as of yore. In the afternoon the banks concluded, on receipt of advices from Milwaukee, to take deposits again the same as they had done Monday, throwing out the ten banks mentioned in another column, in addition to those discredited in December. So matters quieted down once more and trade went along as smoothly as though nothing had haph pened and the town had not been all a excitement but twenty-four hours bec fore, reluctant to touch Wisconsin currency with anything but a tenc S foot pole. r All this is a historical record made p a thirty years ago of events as they ocO St curred at that time. It is not mere to declamation or clap-trap. There are plenty of our citizens who remember the facts as above narrated. Let the younger class apply to them for information if in doubt. Ask Democrats who were then bankers, merchants or in any kind of business here and they will verify every statement made. Any one desiring a return of those days should vote for Cleveland on his stump-tail money platform. I It will not do to say that such currency would not obtain circulation. S If legalized by the different states, it would soon have the field to itself, W for the better money would be driven into retirement. Every one knows that there could be no other result.
