(Fro2a -the Morning Itemld of this lrey. )
When the Times and its correspondent "Merca-
tor" consider it necessary to enter the field of con-
troversy in defence of the Bank Act of 1844 it may
be fairly assumed, we think, that a serious attack
upon that measure is anticipated. We have entered
into this subject in our columns from the sincere
conviction that•the measure is one that claims the
most profound attention that can be bestowed upon
it in the coming session of Parliament. There is
not au institution in our state, or a class or indivi-
duals in the kingdom, that is not directly of indi-
rectly interested in the money laws of the country.
Why, it may be asked, do they exercise this uni-
versality of power ? Simply because no man can
do anything without money. The law has ordained
that man may toil, labour, and drudge on through
his earthly existence, and accumulate productions
without limit ; but the same law that gives him
this freedom to produce denies him the power to
exchange. Can this be rational ? can it be in
strict accordance with the fundamental laws of civi-
lised society ? The introduction into our monetary
code of a system of restriction such as the country
very justly complains of, is based upon the narrow-
est of prejudices ; and, like every other system that
I
continually wages war against the interests of so-
ciety, it will give way before the growing intelli-
gence of the age.
But to return to the Times and its correspondent,
" Mercator," whose letter it re-echoes in its leading
columns. This writer appears to have made a most
important discovery when he states that " The
trade and commerce of a country are carried on,
not by means of its paper money or its circulation,
but by moans of its capital ;" and he goes on to
state that, "when pressure falls upon the trading
community, it usually arises from some disturL-
ance of the due proportion between the extent of
trading operations and the amount of capital by
which those operations are to be sustained."
If neither the paper money of a country, nor its
circulation, perform any part in the trade and corn-
men:e of a nation, of what conceivable use can
either of them be as forming parts of our monetary

Undoubtedly matters would be much more com-
fortable, not only for manufacturers and merchants,
bilt for everybody else, if there were more money
in the country ; that is, if there were either more
gold, or more of those things which other nations
will reedily and constantly take for their gold.
But a large issue of paper would not put us into
this state. The paper once put into circulation
would soon return to the Bank, and would be em-
ployed in draining from that establishment all its
gold, to the uttermost sovereign, for the payment
of those commodities which our fictitious and mo-
mentary wealth had induced us to order from
abroad. The gentlemen who place the panacea for
our distresses in a very expanded and elastic circu-
lation would not keep their bank notes in their safes,
or at their bankers ; they would pass their notes as
quickly and as widely as they could. But the slight-
est attempt to imagine the process is conclusive
against its reality. It is not notes, it is not "Legall
