MONEY AT HOME. If any now find
money more plenty in their pockets, and
the rate of interest, much lower, than for
some years past, let them inquire into
the causes of this change. The time
has been, when Il silver dollar was
scarce article in the market and when
signs were hung out by the brokers Of
lcring ii high premium on Spanish dol
lars. The Ncw-Nork papers now tell
us that the vaults Of the \. !. CITY
Banks are ovcrilowing with specie
Banks in many states are lowering their
rate of interest. Money is paid much
more readily now for produce than for
the few past years. Now all this could
not happen without cause; and what is
tits causei If money is more plenty in
the market, what made it so: There
was time, when every cent the mcr-
chants could scrape up, was sent OIL to
buy English calicocs, cottons, woollcns,
hats, shovcls, glass, nails, sc. The
workmcn in British Manufacturing towns
received the cash, that came out of the
American consumer The farmer was
stripped of his last dollar to clothc his
girls in goods manufactured by Euro
pcan hands, or to furnish himself with
tools made by European workmen.-
These very workmcn even then refused
to take his wool, his corn, his rye, his
butter, or his hogs, in barter; they must
have, and would have his cash. No
wonder money wls scarce. Now one
of the reasons why money is so plcntcous
at home, is, that the American workman
takes the wool of the farmer at good
advance, and consumes his produce,
the very nails, cottons, SC. which he
was wont to buy from Eng lish workmen.
Money is not now so proiusely exported.
We send cottons and nails to the south,
instead of money, and our vessels in re-
turn bring back money or hides. Such
are the results of the American System,
which we advocate. .-POrilund .Mr.
