The bank became the big issue
in President Jackson's campaign
for reelection in 1882 by virtue OF

his opponent for the presidency.
to renew the banks charter. Soon
after his reelection, Jackson
struck at the bank by ordering
transfer he governments de-
posits to sCate banks, and the
fight then moved into Congress.
TT was at this stage that the
i bank threw lside discretion
and in alliance with the manu-
featuring int. ests, which it could
influence by its loans, resorted to
the tactics which similar inter-
ests have employed effectively
since.
Credit was frightened Loans
were called. Manufacturers closed
their plants. III its campaign the
bank disseminated propaganda by
use of bank funds, charging the
expense to stationery and print
ing" Biddle's letters reveal his
purpose to create distress in the
attempt to coerce the Jackson Adj
ministration.
Private correspondence of the
period shows that the support
ers and beneficiaries of the bank
had effected a strong union OF
forces for the purpose of con-
trolling a large section of the
press, debating to politicians,

men, and defying Jackson and his
