•On the nfifiroachi ng dissolution of he V
States Bunk, in a series of numbers, by
■Jesse Atxua.cr, .Yew Haven.
No. I.
On the 4th of August. 1790, wis establish
fd the funding system ; anil on the 25th of
thesucceedmg February, the bank-f 'he U^
T-iied States, twin brothers, of the full blood,
from the s.intr progenitors.
the nrst erected, from the sweat cc blood
tif the revolution, an aristocracy, to endurt
.till the rational deb; should be extinguisiied.
The last erected another, w*th enormous
)»! ivi’.c ;es, hut limited to the 4*h of March
1811, when its chapter will cease.
It is understood that the slot kholders wish
a renewal of the charter ; that the stock. 1
holders of other hanks, which will he pres, i
sed. and that individuals who feel o pres„ j
sure, in case of the dissolution of the U. S. *
bank, also wish a renewal. This is per_ !
fectly natural. Millions of other cinztns
would be gratified, if the government could
consistently add thousands »o their pro;>*r
ty ; but let us look at the effect in a single
|>oin‘ of view, which shall be presented uL
ter a short preface.
If the charter shall be renewed, because
it cannot be avoided, then <he renewal to
the present stockholders will be considered !
us an act of necessity, and ills- charter to be
endless. In such case the stock, which ttn
tier ;he limitation has heen at 47 pr. ct. a
bove par. will rise to 60.
Of the stock of 10 millions, fo>
REIGN K It S O tv N TWO THIRDS.
A renewal of the charter will be giving
{hem, as a bounty,
1st. 7wo thirds of six millions.
2d. Two thirds forever rf the profit ari
sing from the pajjer of the bank being re.
ceivable for U. S bonds and dues.
3d. Two thirds forever of the profit of
U. S. deposits, and the enormous deposits,
which, by reason of the solidity and perpe.1
fuity of the bank, will be otherwise in its
vaults.
4tli. A scmi.anaual drain in s/iecie of two
'thirds of all profits.
5th. Two thirds forever of the influence
in the most monied, most powerful and per
pebtal aristocracy in the union.
6th. Two thirtU of an everlasting 5c most
baleful influence on our elections.
7th. Two thirds of an enormous cap!
tal, with which to speculate on our pro
cluce, and create at tifical scarcity or ulen
ty
8th. Two thirds forever of the inordi„
nate power of crushing all the other banks,
of laying under contribution our commercial
capitals, of pavaliaing our manufactures and
of awing our government.
9th. 7’«»e 'birds forever of a power too
gigantic in 1810 to have been arrested aod
held to its own limits, and bidding fair iu
1820 to lord it over Congress and give laws
tu this western world.
Heaven and earth forbid that u re/iubli
tan Congress should want energy to crush
this hjdra in the 20th year of it's are.
No. II.
In the establishment of this bank were the
Allowing provisions, 1st That one-third
en.y of the capital should be required in
arpecie. the remaining two.thirds to tie in tun
d< d stock at the U. S. drawing an interest,
whde upon the strength of the funded s oi k
bank bills should be issued and lent on inte
rest. Here was an arm chair for the fund
iug system !
3d. That the bills of this bank should be
receivable for all debts due the U. S. Here
was a fair outlet for 10 millions of paper.
3d That during the term of this bank ho
other bank should be chartered by the U
Ir ■> es.
4 n. 1 lie duration of 20 years for the pe
riili:ir nriviletr**^ of this hanlr
'1 he intelligen* managers of the hank have I
thude the mus; of their privileges They
have divided 8 per ct and left surplusses,
which in addition to the Jirofit on lost bills,
are to he in the last dividend. Their iniiu
ence on our commercial, agricultural, man
ufacturing and /loiitical concerns has been
vvittiout limit. Their stock has been at 47
per ct. above par. It has fallen to 20_
Beginning to feel the rigors ot winter, it will
fall till the 4dt of March, when the day ot
dissolution will assured xj arrive, as is clear
iy foretold in the 1st. vol. ot the laws of the I
lJ.S page 285
The limitation to that time is a public
Covenant between the government and the!
peopie of these slates, that the bank, or„ |
ganized in 17S1, shall close its concerns in
1811, and on the 4th of March will return
to the people a charter the regranting of
which, on terms like the first, would be
worth to the grantees six• millions o/'dol_
lurs. Every holder of 100 shares in the
existing bank paper hopes that government
will renew, and thus make him a present ol
twenty Jour thousand dollars.
To foreigners our government will not
give 'wo thirds of six millions, and to citi_
sens it will nQt give one third of six inilli.
ons. The United Stales will not be a pro
vinCe of the Untied States bank.
No. III.
A man borrows ten thousand dollars of
the United Slates ba; It on bis note due on
the 1st of Januaiy next. A few days be
fore that, he wili receive notice that his
note will be due on the l-.*f and that pay_
jnent must be ntade on tiie 4th. Will he,
as a prudent man, begin in December to
prepare for that payment? or will lie wait
till the evening of the 3d of January, and
then suddenly press >h« president, direct
ors or cashier, for monies due him, ex
pee ing to compel a postponement on his
note i Tike a prudent man he prepares in
season, and expects, in case of uofi.pay
snent, a protest and the min of 1m credit.
On the 25th of February, 1/91, public
notice was given, tliar the last day of grace
for the United Stales bank would be the 4th
©f March, 1811. Did not prudence de I
maud that for two years past, the loans!
should have been diminished and the debt,:
giaduallv cokecied ? Why this /ire.sure
bi his late hour? Is it toc ntfitl the stock-!
In Idem of oilier banks and the debtors of •
thi' bank to dunum! ot congress a renewal •
i»f the charter? If the pressure can he1
fai lv tiaced to this motive, it wdl produce (
hm rffict contrary to the one intended.
No human wisoom or cunning could have j
Cm. med so as to persuade a rcpublicun
c«*rgi«s to n que again lire destinies of
tin ii c u-iiry on a corpM .ition. independent
of tiie g ivcinrmrir : but the pressure, if*
deemed unreasonable may pi educe an act
ut liu.itnti ii mi I'tvo- of die Miff .rei % or
cnmfu l Ja m t'j make ofic /i*r i/irmtefvca.
A great <npiiaiisi I • « y declared, that:
he would not have applied tor n renewal of!
thccharter but wmdd havt dtawn specie!
from the other back', till their discoum*
stiouiu Lave been * Lylly slopped, and tilt!
♦obgress should «o*icii the stockholders of
the Unit il s <»ank to accept a renew
al of Mieir charter.
This is plant language from one well ac
qu iiiueil wi h tlit* secrets and history of
b inks. and perhaps is the very language,
meat it b> 'he present managers The boon
in view is w r«h a struggle, and we will not
cal! in question rhe flukey of their mea
sines ; but it nrty he well to recullect that
with four hundred thousand dollars of spe
cie ( nils a 25th par' of theircapital) they
were permitted to begin business; that
Cong-. ** bad given to heir bills the quali
ties of sp* :ir, so far w circulation was
conr-„--ned. In all subsequent instalments,
payment in their bills, or even in notes of
stockholders, was equal to silver and gold
fo> their purposes. Phi# bank, supplying
a paper substitute for specie, our dollars
were exported for tea, silks and china, and
our Spanish uid British gold went to pay
foreign stock loklcrs their dividends, and to
pay lirirfxh merchants eiuht millions sttr_
ling annually, being the compact balance
of trade ig .inst us in what has been called
a luc ative commerce.
But a small quantity of specie was ever
accum dated by the United States bank ;
yet this bank was more instrumental in
driving specie out of >he country than all
the other banks. The enor ious currency
of bills issuing under patronage of govern
meat, from ten millions of capital, reduc d
silver and gold to the servile rank of small
change. The precious metals will not stay
where they are not wanted. It is perhaps
in the power of the United States bank to
draw into their possession the great poitinn
of what yet remains to us. If this he true,
let not the fact alarm in, but let us learn
from it the danger oi delegating such a
power.
'Phe present is a momentous crisis in otir
affairs. I1 requires energy. The instituti
on of a national bank was a hazardous ex.
periment. The renewal of it will remove
hazard from republicanism, as death re_
moves flain from a /latient.
No. IV.
Tliis batik, has had its youth, its middle
age. and now comes on its old age. and on
the 4th of March next will be its dissolution.
At the outset, 20 years appeared to the
stockholders a long time for the enjoyment
of such extensive means in the acquisition of
wealth. The term, being nearly closed,
now appears too short. Preparation has
been delayed. The profits have indeed been
enormous, but how shall the holders of
shares, which havebeen atahigh premium,
bt;ar to see them reduced to par ?
As the government has honorably compli
ed with its engagements, has received and
used hundred* ot millions of the bank pa
per, has deposited its treasures in the vaults
ot this bank, has incorporated no other bank
within the term, and has uniformly been its
patron and benefactor, do not justice and
honor require of the stockholders of this
bank to be equally punctual on their part ?
If they are anxi us for more profits, let
them recollect that “ Their measure has
been heaped up, pressed down and run
ning over that their iellow citizens are as
well entitled to such privileges as they are,
and that all the loaves and fishes in the gift
of government have not been equal to what
they have enjoyed.
Such reflections may lead them to offer to
buy a new charter, instead of receiving it
gratis, or gaining it by comfxulaion ; but the
government will not veil to foreigners. it
will not sell to citizens a monopoly of mak
ing paper represent silver and gold, and of
punishing oilier citizens for making paper
represent their paper. If such hingsare to
be sold, let us hold a public auction of our
declaration ol independence, our constitution
and our president.
i lie directors of the hank are said to be
honorable men. As such they may in con
Ctrl with the govemmcn , adopt such means
as will draw their affairs 10 a close with the
least possible injury to themselves and the
public. They may cease to discount and be
a lowed their own time for collections ; but
the honor of the directors will lead them to
a different course. They are 'esolvedon a
renewal of the charter. The millions of the
U. H are resolved against a renewal. The
question is before the legislature of ihe nati
on. Federalism will be the daring advo
cate, and re/iublicani3m he intrepid and
successful opponent of the measure.
The spasms and convulsions inseparable
from the approaching dissolution of such a
gigantic body, though enlis.ed by the oank
as their best troops, will publickiy desert
their standard on the day of discussion, and
will be the most powerful and irresistible
militants against their claims.
Is it in the power of the U. S bank to
distress all the other banks, by exhaus.ing
their specie and stopping then discounts?_
Can this bank drive to bankruptcy mer.
chants of sound property and produce ex.
tensive calamity ? Suppose (hen its char
ter to be renewed for twenty years,(will they
not have the same power of tormenting in
every year of that term ?
If at this ime the U. S. bank is powerful
enough to compel a renewal of its charter,
will it he debilitated by twenty years more
of successful business ? It 19 natural for
the state bank and for individuals to put off
the evil Imur.buc il they advocate the renew
al of the charter, they make the evil hour
eternal.
There must be a revolution in the bank,
ing business of our country, and this is as
good a tune for it as can ever arrive. The
slates are overwhelmed by hanks ; we live
in a paper world ; the foundations of our
houses are laid in bank paper ; our splen
did carriages roll on p. per wheels ; our na
vigation, agriculture and manufactures de
pernl upon the wdl of directors . -<}loucester
bank and the Vermont banks speak to more
healthy bank*the s.une language, which the
grave speaks to all the living.
Look at the lilies of the Held ; they toil
not, neither do they spin ; they live as ea
sy as our hank directors, who were hardly
exceeded in splendor by Solo/non in all In*,
glory. Look at die tanners ami mechanics
ol our country ; they toil and spit* ; they
eat the bread of carefulness ; their labor
is our wealth ; their gains are by avlding
Cent to cent, till they amount to a dollar.
Think of the locusts of EgyptThese
were to the people precisely what banks arc
to our farmers, These have been often in„
duced to purchase farms on the chances of
batik credit. The consequence has been,
tlint they have been gradually pressed, till
they were delivered over to the tormentors,
and were consequently ruined The farmer
in many instances trusted those Mhj mcr
chants, whose whole capital wftsmbatik
credit, and in this way the sweat of the brow
went f»r nothing. Siowly lid the farmers
yuM credit, to ban* bills, the counterfeit
evidences of wealth, and as slowly did the>*(
withdraw that confidence Hence the Glou
cester bills, and the counterfeit hills, and
the bills at 25 per cent: discount, fell to the
lot of the farmers.
From Michigan to Saco, batiks were es„
rablished. some in places so obscure that
their names cannot be found in Morse’s
Geography. Each bank must have a pre_
sideut, directots and washier, even if they
had no money in their vaults. The time
of thousands of irrational, account able be_
ings must thus he wasted on miserable in
stitutions, a million of which would not add
a cent to the wealth of the nation.
Men, seeing the ease with which the
counterfeita of specie could be turned to
profit, undertook to make counterfeits of pa
per. for which thev were fined, imprisoned
or executed. Thus instead of enjoying n
golden, silver, or iron age, we have chosen
to make to ourselves a paper age.
All our banks have been public organised
aristocracies, tending to subvert our repub
lican institutions, and the U S. bank is not
elevated above the rest, except by its supe
rior and more substantial means of mischief.
Its existence and success have given exist
ence to most other banks. May its disso
lution on the 4:h of March next he the
means of shaking the rest, wc will not add
to r/tcir founda'ions, for that would be im
plying more confidence in them, than many
of them deserve.
