CHAPTER XVIII.
BANKS AND BANKING.
-
THIS would not be the proper place for any-
thing like a history of Banking in Ohio;
and yet, in connection with the record to be made of that interest in Lucas County, brief reference to the origin and progress of the same in the State, will not be irrelevant.
The first Banking institution in Ohio was the Miami Exporting Company of Cincinnati, char- tered in April, 1803, at the very outset of the State Government. Its object, as indicated by the name given to it, was the promotion of trade more than regular Banking business, for which latter there was then comparatively little demand. This Company continued in existence for many years, with varying success.
The first charter for a strictly Banking in- stitution, was that of the Bank of Marietta, granted in 1808; another charter, for the Bank of Chillicothe, being obtained at the same ses- sion of the Legislature. Various charters were granted from that time until 1816, when 12 new Banks were authorized, and the charters of old ones renewed. A peculiarity of the sys- tem then adopted, was the participation in the same which was given to the State. Each new Bank, at the outset, was to set apart for the State one share in each 25 shares, in consider- ation of its charter ; and each Bank renewed was to create for the State a like proportion of stock. Each one of both classes, was annually to set apart out of its profits, a sum which, at the time when its charter expired, should make a sum equal to 4 per cent. of its entire capital stock. The dividends to the State were to be invested and re-invested until one-sixth of the stock should become State property. By that law, Banks were anthorized to be established at West Union, Columbus, New Lancaster, St. Clairsville, Mount Pleasant, Cleveland, Chilli- cothe, New Lisbon, Wooster and the Lebanon Miami Banking Company and the Urbana Banking Company. The charters then ex- tended, were those of the Marietta, Chillicothe, Steubenville, Muskingum, Western Reserve (at Warren), the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank at Cincinnati and the Dayton Manufacturing Company-all charters to run until 1843, and each with a capital of $500,000, except the Bank of Cincinnati, to be $600.000. This ar- rangement continued until 1825, when not working satisfactorily, it was so changed, that instead of sharing in the stock of the Bank, the State should receive the specific tax of 2 per cent. on past dividends, and 4 per cent. on those to be made by the Bank.
Meantime so-called Banks came into exist- ence at different points, without due authority of law. Among these, two were prominent in
Northern Ohio-the Owl Creek Bank, in Knox County; and the Bank of Sandusky Bay, at Bloomingville (now in Erie County), both of which caused serious loss to holders of their bills. Such was the condition of the Banks in Ohio in 1818, that less than one-half of their notes were receivable for publie taxes.
In 1831, the tax on the Banks was increased from 4 to 5 per cent. of the dividends.
In 1839, the Banks of the State having been largely managed in loose ways and without proper supervision, a Board of Bank Commis- sioners was appointed. This inquisition was unsatisfactory to the Banks, and provoked much controversy, which was greatly intensi- fied by a bitter political warfare against the entire system of Banking and all paper cur- rency. For some years, the question of Bank note circulation constituted the main issue between the Whig and Democratic parties in Ohio-the former favoring such currency, when properly secured against loss; while the latter party declared itself opposed to anything as currency, save gold and silver coin. This state ol' things was largely due to the policy of the General Government, adopted about 1834, un- der what was popularly known as the "Pet Bank System." That came about through a contest between the two political parties-the Democratic, with President Jackson atits head; and the Whig party, under the lead of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, with a majority in both Houses of Congress. The charter of the United States Bank, granted in 1816, for 20 years, was to expire in 1836. A new charter was passed by Congress, which was vetoed by the President, and thus defeated. Up to that time and for many years, the Bank of the United States, as the chief financial agency of the country, had operated materially toward giving stability and reliability to the currency, while serving trade most acceptably in the facilities supplied by it in the way of exchange. But the expiration of the charter of that insti- tution and the closing up of its affairs, through the hostility of President Jackson, was attended by a new order of things. To provide a sub- stitnte for the National Bank, the Administra- tion deposited the public moneys in selected State Banks, and to furnish a substitute for the bills of the discarded Bank, these new Banks of deposit were encouraged to treat the Gov- ernment deposits as a basis for the circulation of their own notes, which most of them were quite too glad to do. But it so happened, that these " Pet Banks " (as they came to be called), were only able to stimulate a demand for eur- rency which they were not able to meet. The
