Book Description
Excerpt from The Development of Banking in Illinois, 1817-1863 Early Illinois banking passed through four distinct cycles. The first originated and reached its climax be tween the years 1814 and 1819. The second began in 1821 and reached a culmination in 1824-25. The mania for internal improvements in the thirties caused the develop ment Of a third movement which came to a climax in 1837. The adoption of the stock bank system in 1851 began the fourth cycle which attained its highest point in 1860. The results of this study show that in each of these movements events follow a regular sequence: (1) An urgent demand on the part of a needy community for a plentiful medium Of exchange; (2) The passage of a law providing for a generous issue of poorly safeguarded paper; (3) A brief period of fictitious prosperity largely due to speculation; (4) A crisis which at first results in the suspension of redemption and later in the collapse of the bank of issue; (5) Hard times; (6) The develop ment of a strong anti-bank sentiment; (7) The beginning of the next cycle after a surprisingly brief interval. The method of treatment followed has been to outline the laws passed by the legislature and to show two things: (1) The causes which led to the enactment of the measures; and (2) The effect which the legislation produced upon the community. The material has been gathered from legislative records, newspapers, banking journals, county and state histories, and the letters and biographies of prominent men. Special mention is due the invaluable treatise of Governor Thomas Ford who was present at practically every session of the legislature before 1846. The general works of Knox and Sumner and the monograph on State Banks of Issue in Illinois by Garnett have proved useful in checking up conclusions drawn from common sources.
