Banking was introduced in the United States during the War of the Revolution, a resolution being adopted in Congress, on May 26, 1781, approving a plan for a national bank, proposed by Robert Morris, of Philadelphia. As a result the Bank of North America was incorporated on December 31, following, with a capital of $400,000, of which $254,000 had been subscribed by the United States Government. This bank. rechartered from time to time, continues in existence in Philadelphia, and is one of the national banks of the present. Another bank, known as the Bank of the United States, as projected by Alexander Hamilton when the Government had been organized under the Constitution. It was duly established and continued in existence until 1811, when it went out of existence owing to the failure to obtain a renewal of its charter. A second Bank of the United States was incorporated on April 3, 1816, and went into operation January 7, 1817. Meanwhile other banks had been established in various parts of the country, and these, driven to suspension of specie payments by the War of 1812, were aided by the operation of the new bank to an extent which enabled them to resume. This bank itself, however, was driven to the wall in 1840 by legis lation which compelled it to resume specie payments, which it had suspended. The present system of national banks was inaugurated in 1864, under exigencies created by the civil war. The banks in the United States now number 16,933, including State and private banks; their aggregate capital is $1,488,819,167; and the deposits aggregate $10,557,087,725. Savings banks are not included in this summary. In 1852 they numbered 141, and had more than a quarter of a million depositors. At the present time they number about 1,000 and have nearly six and one-half millions of depositors. BANK EXAMINERS IN THE UNITED STATES. Name. Walter F. Albertson. S. H. L. Cooper. D. S. Culver.
