In country where commercial credit
is not artlhcialiy forced, the money Oh
taiGed BY the sale OF surplus produce
\, a.sh the owners do not choose to eDl-
- .ioy themselves, is all that is lent out Oh
,nterost. This is the proceeds of but
snall part of the annual produce of the
land and labor; but what proportion 1T
bears to the whole cannot be ascertained.
In such q land, saIes on credit of real es-
state AID of the comforts and necessaries
of llfe would, also, he limited. Goods be-
ing to be obtained cheaper for cash, buy
ers who had it in their power would ma
turally prefer prompt payment; and sell
lers would not be wiling to dispose OF
their property TO those whose inclination
or whose ability to pay was doubtful
Friendship or charity might cause occa
sion.. exceptions to this rule; but friend

with trade, and III regard to their own

the Justice to say) have considerable de-
gree OF acuteness, seldom or ever trusting
value in the hands OF one another without
pretty good prospect OF receiving value
in return In lending money or selling
goods, each man has ms own self interest,
not his interest as member OF the COM
munity, to promo,e; of managing this
we'll, we suppose the majority OF men ca
pablo; anu, therefore, lnfer, that where
the credit system has not been artlhclally
forced, twill never injure the majority.
But the credit system In the United
States mas injured the majority, atfording
presumption that it has been artlhcially
forced. On enquiry we find the causes
adduced, adequate to the effect: and we
know u no others that are adequate
On the practice of the early cOlonist we
place nc more stress than that 1t In time
became the custom of the nation, and that
the customs OF nations are as hard to
change as the habits of individuals
far as Concerns tie present epoch, we
cOnsider the paper issues OF our fathers
only as they served to extend the custom
In much the same light we view the prac-
tice of selling the public lands on credit,
since tGat practice has lately been abro-
gated The credit duty act we regard as
o. a secondary nature, important only
wien taken in connection with other eau
scs. The BANKS. OF rather those particu-
lar ones which nave deviated from the
principles Oh which banking ought to be
conducted, we consider as the principal
stay and support of the suPer-extended
system of commercial credit, and the ORR
gin OF all the woes that have thence How
ed upon the nation,
Thousands we'll know all that we have
here stated. among whom are many OF our
legislators. If they had acted according
to their knowledge these structures would
never have been written. We shall, as
often as we have opportunity, remind
them of truths which they have forgotten,
or to whi;h they pay no attention, till
these truths become efficient principles OF
