need additional use of credit, far from being
| able to obtain it, they find the banks them.
selves entering the money market, and insled
of being money lenders, borrowing for their
own PURPOSES all the funds they can reach.
The pressure from which we have just been
suffering for months, grew out OF the iact'
that banks of very large capitals, IN some
of the commercial cities. as well as many
banks in the interior, were ear lestly seeking
to borrow. The merchant, the manuiactur-
err, were driven from the competition Dy tne
banks themselves. So dangerous are oanhs
of circulation! So fraught with peril Is ex,
elusive reliance upon paper, Tor the currency!
Its influence is baneful to American INDUS
try, and brings the greatest dlstres upon
those who rely upon it the most.
The consideration of these fatal conse,
a~uences to domestic industry and personal
credit, has led many to the Apprehension
that The use of a paper currency Tor the Pur,
pose of ordinary circulation, Is ATTENDED
with more evils than benefits; and hat banks
have their appropriate Office IN facilitating
tie larger exchanges Of currency, rather
than in furnishing a circulating medium Tor
the smaller payments OF business. without
attempting to decide the abstract question,
it is now an acknowledged truth, sanctioned
by men of business of the most opposite Politl-
cial sentiments on other subjects, that our
system of paper circulation has been carried
too far. Perhaps it will seem to you the
dictate of prudence to await the action oil lhe
federal government on the revenue system,
before attempting u reform; bu | cannot ior-
bear expressing to you my belief that the
suppression OF small bills and the consequent
supplying of their places with golb and silver
in the hands and in the pockets OF the PEG.
pie, would essentially diminish the dangers OF
bankruptcy on the part OF the banks and OF
losses on the part of the people; would pro-
tect the public against the evils of a depreci-
atcd currency, and lessen the changes oil loss
10 the stockholders in the e%xisnins parks.
Above all, it would have a tendency to give
stability to our manufactures, and in connex-
ion with he independent treasury, would
found their prosperity on 4 rock.
