Whig Bank Reform and 1830s Ohio Examinations
The Akron Balance defends the Whigs against Locofoco claims about bank reform and bank examinations. It argues no banks could be chartered, that the Whigs urged a strict oath-bound examination of banks in the last Legislature, and that the Canton Bank was the only issue of concern. Ohio bank notes were generally sound, the report being published for public knowledge.
