18th. Banks having dr.
minished the circulating
medium, individuals can
not pay the seven millions
Of dollars owed for lands
sold, and the government
must also lose a conside-
rable portion Of duties
due, from the inability OF
merchants to pay their
bonds. Ear nihilo fit, is
an old maxim, and incon-
trovertible. Ii would
pain me too much to draw
a real picture Of the suf-
feriugs Of my fellow citi-
zens from the existing
scarcity of the circulating
medium and the hope o,
a speedy remedy cannot
be INDUCED, as our ex'
ports have fallen so mucl
in value.
