This is & promotion for Wi Grogan. While hia official residence “pas been nominally in Lincoln, Mr. Grogan # 114 family have been making thetr home in Omaha. It ia not known, at this time, | Bince the have | chine In The first great struggle between the con- gress and a president of the United States was upon the question of re-chartering the second bank of tha United States, Henry Clay leading the forces of the bank and congress against Andrew Jackson only to suffer complete and total defeat vietory of Jackson and the de- struction of the congressional leadership as it then existed the American people have accustomed themselves to look to the White House for reforms and to hold the White House responsibla for errors in gov- ernment. Under the constitution this might have become a purely parliamentary gov- ernment, but the domination of Jackson forever changed the current of American polities and vested leadership and responsi- bility in the president Andrew Jackson may not have been the greatest of the presidents, but his power and his policles were more enduring than those of any other American chief magis- trate. Washington in igpartial dignity at- tempted to prevent partisan politics. He had not been out of office six months until his notions of the proper conduct of the government were flouted. His dictum against the third term and his warnings against entangling alllances with forelgn nations have endured, but his system of domestic politics perished before he died The bullet which killed Lincoln killed his policies, and his successor, Andrew John- son, 1s even now by many held in con | tumely for the offense of having attempted to continue Lincoly’s work along lines Lincoln so plainly marked out. But Jackson's policles have not died They are the essence of the rule an practice of Amerfoan politics today. Sen- | ator Aldrich, proposing a Central bank admits that what he has to fight is not opposition to the bank on its merits, but the ghost of “Old Hickory.” The doctrine | dectaring that “To the victors belong the spofls” 1s the accepted creed of every | party, and the federal officeholders today | constitute the most powerful politica! ma- existence. Jackson not only desfgnated his successor, Van Buren, but in his old age nominated and elected James K. Polk. James Parton, the admir- Ing, but not sympathetic®blographer of Jackson, says of him: “Not only had he no such word as ‘fail,’ but no bellef, not the slightest, that he could fall in anything serfously undertaken by him. And he never did.” The congress refused, in 1811, to recharter the First bank of the United States, an institution of which Hamlilton was the Tather. During the second war with Eng- land President Madison and his Secretary of the Treasury George M. Da’las of Penn- sylvania attempted to secure a charter for a new bank. Congress refused during the war, but when peace was restored a bank was chartered and organized on a plan sug- gested by Dallas. Specie payments had been suspended In 1814 and the financial condition of the country was lamentable. The state banks had proved wholly in- capable of sustalning the burden of busi- ness and had even more signally falled to live up to the responsibility of financing the’ federa! government. The bill charter- ing the second bank was signed by Presi- dent Madison on April 10, 1816, and the bank opened for business in Pinladelphia on Januoary 17, 1817. Instead of addressing itself to the task of relleving the country of its burden of bankruptey, the president and officers of the bank plunged into a carnival of speculation and “high finance’ which would make modern Wall street blush with shame. The charter was limited to twenty years, and would expire by limitation in 1886 The bank had a capital of $35,000,000, one- fifth of which was to be subscribed by the United States. The four-fifths was to be taken by Individuals or corporations, thelr subscriptions to be payable one-fourth in coln and three-fourths in the funded debt of the United States. This provision was designed to strengthen the credit of the government by creating a use for its cer- tificates of debt, just as the present na- tional banking system keeps up the price of government bonds far beyond thelr in- vestment value. The bank was to be gov- erned by twenty-five directors, five of whom were to be appointed by the presi- dent of the United States. The govern- ment funds were to be deposited in the bank, unless the secretary of the treasury should otherwise direct—a fateful proviso. The bank's notes were to be recelvable in all payments to the United States. For this charter the bank pald the government a bonus of $1,600,000, Willlam Jones was the first president. The stock of the bank was disposed of to favorites, and the requirements of coln payments were not adhered to. Prospee- tive purchasers of stock were loaned money upon the meourity of the stock to be pur- chased, and from this loan they got money enough to buy the stock.

If the stock rose in value, as it did, a man sold his stock, for which he had pald nothing, at an advanced price, the new buyer paid for it with a note and the first purchaser pald his note with the new mote and pock- eted the difference in, priee. In addition to note thts sharp pracifae fhe bank was very lib- eral In its discolnts to favored persons The Baltimore branch was the worst of- fender, and it managed to lose $3,000,000 in a few years. Congress Investigated the bank in 1819 and found conditions so bad that a change was demanded, Langdon Cheves, who as speaker of the house had the deciding vote which defeated the re-charter of the first bank, was made president. He cleaned house and put the bank on a firm footing. Prosperity re- turned to the couniry, and when Nicholas Biddle became prasident of the bank in 1523 all opposition to It had disappeared and the bank was fulfilling all require- ments of its charter save one. It evaded the Intent of the law requiring it to fur- nish a staple and uniform currency by making its notes redeemable only at the branch bank which issued them. This re- quired shipments of money from one part of the country to another, and permitted the bank to make large profits by the sale of its drafts. This was one of the prin- clpal arguments used by Jackson In his fight upon the institution. Under Biddle's management the bank Srew to great strength, and was honestly administered for the benefit of the whole country. At the beginning first administration in 1529 it was an insti- tution of commanding Importance. It had not been mentioned in the political cam- palgns of 1824 and 1828, and was generally accepted as a permanent settlement of the natlonal financial question. It had a capl- tal of $3,000,000, the public money on de- posit was about $7,000,000, its private de- posits about as much, its circulation over $12,000,000, its dlscounts more than $40,000,000 a year and Its profits $5,000000 annually. It had twenty-five branch banks and a marble banking house at the head office in Pihladelphia. gold all over the world, and it recelved and disbursed all the revenue of the na- tlon. Considering the fact that the United States then had a total population of only 12,00,000 people (he bank was a mighty In- stitution. Jackson, in his first message to congress, celled into question the constitutionality of the bank's charter, suggesting that the matter be considered by congress, as the charter would expire within seven years He suggested that the national bank ought to be organized on the basis of the credit | of the nation, thereby making it a purely governmental bank and avoiding the con- stitutional question. But at that time cast Jackson had no idea of destroying the bank. Teaac Hill, & member of Jackson's “kitchen cabinet,” attempted to get the scalp of Jeremiah Mason, the manager of the branch bank at Portsmouth, N, H. Liddle and bark resisted, and thus placed themselves in opposition to Jack- eon. This incident has been made the basls of Jackson's resolve to destroy the inetitution, but there Is reason to belleve that It has been too much emphasized. Mr, Biddle end Mr. Clay despised Andrew Jackson. They looked upon Jackson as an | uncouth man of the people, unfit to be | president ard even more unfit for decent soclety. They sneered and scoffed at him; they underestimated his power and, strange | to say, they even delighted in making him furious. It was Blddle's aristocratic con- tempt for Jackson, and Clay's over-esti- | wate of his own strength, which destroyed the second Bank of the United States, quite | as much as it was Jackson's pique at! being unable to dislodge Jere. Mason from | his Portsmouth berth, The best friends of the bank, both in and out of congress, advised agalnst asking for a recharter until after the esction of 1832. Jackson then had a majority of the house in name, but the senate was op- posed to the administration and the bank could count on a sufficient number of democrats in the house to win. It was feared that the next election might change the complextion of one or the other houses of congress. Biddle doubtéd the wisdom of bringing the issue before the people, as he felt he could depend upon the power of money to Influence senators and repre- sentatives already elected. But Clay was imperious, for once, and refused # ocom- promise. e insisted that the bank bil must be Introduced. The bill to extend the charter passed the senate by 2§ to 20 and the house by 109 to 1. All Jackson's power and threats | were unavalling, even in the democratic house, to defeat the measure. But his anger | had been aroused and he addressed him- selt to the work of exterminating the bank. He veoted the bill. | The issue went to the country. Clay was the candidate for president, supported by | the bank, the “‘money power,” such lead- ers as Webster, Calhoun, John Quincy | Adams, Hugh Lawson White and all the | forces of comservatism and aristocracy.
