Political speech denounces banking system and calls for restraint

A Madison area speaker defends his six year record in the state legislature. He opposes the banking system and suspends specie payments, arguing banks favor the rich and harm debtors. He warns of legal and economic dangers, cites case examples and compares banking to individual honesty. He urges voters to act at the next election to curb the bank’s power.

The Free Banking System in Scotland

The Plaindearee discusses Scotland’s banking, noting three incorporated banks and many private institutions. It argues a free trade approach keeps banking an private enterprise, with low bankruptcies and few social upheavals despite public money volatility. The piece contrasts Scottish practice with English banking and highlights stability through private management.
