WHAT Is THE REMEDY
The administration, or . part al the admins

Bank, for crushing the monster IS they term ,
corporation which is rapidly dying the death ~
the law but whose nstrosity escaped the watch
ful eyes OF Madison and Monroe, and vet not 30
mOnStrous but tbat the President has adopted
kindred monster and what is the remedy ~h,,
is TO take its place, ~hai do the administration
propose
The idea &C government Bank was Icnr ago
exploded. The metallic currency, suggested IN the
plan Of Mr.. RiNrs, by dong away with the small
bills Of the Sta.o Banks, cannot succeed; first
because, tlrkyc-fourths Of the members OF Con.
gross opposed Ia Il, and, second, bcCaus. IL /,
impossible to carry such plan Into effect Tho
exercise Of such power hy a. general govcrnmeti
would be too oslious Co bc tolerated What is the
remed, then; the project of the administration
The plan srrn,S To De this-in crushing one

shows ne the psblie money Is not Ssfc.
That such is the plan, witness the annihilatcd
Banks under the partial supervision Of the Secrc-
tAry at the Irehnry. Who takes the povcV of APP
pointing government agents, for which the Banks
are 20 paw Witness the selections Of these Banks
on political bases Mark the euiire eoutrol
which the Secretary assumes, TO give to, aud To
take from, the depoSites IL his disposal. Thus
instead of one Bank, the Rank ~ the United
states, With a currency all over the Union, under
the control of Congress, amenabIe to G. Congress-
the President, and the SECRETARY Of the 4 reasss-1
the ageHf of Congress, Ne 60 have many State
banks. With limited currency, under tk.. eon-
trnl of a single individual, and t.nt sisvtr in
