The Scarcity of SDecieg

In the Uuted States, we produce yearly
supply ofgold to the amount ofsixty millions Of
dollars. 1t is computed that the amount of the
precious metal in the country is equivalent to
two hundred and seventy millions of dollars. -
Yet, strange to say; we are in want Of coin FOR
the ordinary operations of trade; and all the
banks have suspended the payment Of their
debts, on the pretence OF an Inadequate supply Of
specie.
Apparently this is very singular state oil
affairs, but in point fact the mystery is sus-
ceptible of an easy explanation. In virtue ofan
ncontestible principle of political economy, a
sound currency is always driven out of circua-
tion by deprecated currency. The multipli-
cation OF banks, and the infinite use oftheir Cir
culation during the last few years, in great
measure superseded the necessity of any other
currency; and of course the precious metals
were exported to points where they were in
greater demand. Hence the comparative scar
city ofspecie in the United States. In llustra-
ton OF this theory, we may mention the fact
that, when, in the commencement ofthe present
financial troubles a demand for specie exhibit
ed itself IN New York, instantly the current
turned, and gold and silver began to pour into
.he country from Europe. aaae2
And this wonld have continued to be the
ease, but the action of the banks As they
created the scarcity of coin in the first instance
by the undue expansion of their currency, so a.
gain they arrested the importation Of the preci-
ous metalsby the suspension otspocie payment,
which still farther deprecated their notes, and
discourages the demand for gold and silver Tie
tide has turned again, and the precious metals
are now being exported to Europe The last
steamer-the Fulton carried away $4,000
1t is evident that under The present system Of
suspension, matters will only grow worse
