The Currency.

Anu SO4ASuSys
do not expatiate upon the evil of small pa
DER money; they are palpable to every obser-
YER and only require enumeration:
l. 1t drives away all hard money Of equal
denominations /; for, in competition between
two eurrencies, the meanest is always the
eonqueror, and chases the other out OF the
field.
9. It is the great source OF the crime of coun-
terfeitipg for the mass of the counterfeits con
sist Of small notes.
3. It demOralizes the community for pno-
pie, not being willing to lose note for which
they hare given value, instead of burning it
when rejected BY q knowing one as counterfeit,
put it back in the pocket and offer it again to
IN ignorant person, who receives it, and who
goes through the same process when rejected in
his hands.
4. Small notes make the panics and bring
on the runs which break down good banks for
these small notes being in the hands of the
masses, when they get alarmed they assemble
BY thousands at the doors of the institution
which issued the notes, demand the money,
break the banks and propagate the alarm which
they themselves feel. until it becomes general,
for nothing is more contagious than monyed
panic, nor anything more manageable.
5. 1t pillages the poor and the ignorant for
every base note, every one that is counterfeit,
or on q broken bank. or on a bank that never
existed, although it will run for awhile must
stop somewhere, and when it does, is sure to
stop in in the hands of the poor and uniform
ed, upon that class least able to bear the loss,
who have no advantage from banks which are
in operation, and who bear the loss when they
stop.
s. It excites to swindling for knaves with
nothing but hrass for their capital, and that in
their faces instead of their Golfers, are induced
70 set up manufactures of small paper, to be
sent abroad and sunk upon thousands of those
among whom it is scattered all that is so sunk
being clear gains to the manufacturer.
Z. 1t induces and even compels people to be
wasteful of their money for such is the natur-
al, honest, and just contempt and distrust Of
ANAL notes that he or she that receives one hur-
MES of to lay ii out for something not needed
while piece of gold of the same amcunt would
be valued and cherished, and laid by and kept
and added to. until enough accumulated to
make . purchase Of something needed and Use.
full.
6. It subjects the payer TO be cheated or
wersted in change ;for giving paper in payment,
lie must receive the change in other paper and
for that purpose the meanest, most ragged.
dirty. and worthless will always be picked out
and showed upon him. In short, such are the
evils, the crimes, the generalization and cheat
ing of small paper money, that all nations, ex-
cept the United States, place it in the cata-
CORY of criminal agent and suppress it accord.
