Excerpt from Journal of the Indiana State Senate, During the Thirty-Seventh Session of the General Assembly: Commencing January 6, 1853 The speculator comes to Indianapolis with a bundle of bank notes in one hand and his stock in the other. In twenty-four hours he is on his way to some distant part of the Union, to cir culate what he denominates a legal currency authorized by the legislature of the State of Indiana. He has nominally located his bank in some remote part of the State, difficult of access, where he knows that no banking facilities are required, and intends that his notes shall go into the hands of persons who will have no means of demanding their redemption.
