Rantoul Oration on Banking and Federal Power 1837
Extracts from an 1837 Worcester County Worcester Mass Democratic gathering speech by Mr. Rantoul. The oration denounces concentration of power, praises Andrew Jackson, and warns against a national bank and unrestricted paper money. It cites the Bank of England crisis and argues for constitutional limits, credit discipline, and opposition to aristocratic wealth controlling policy. The piece contrasts Jacksonian reform with a looming finance coalition seeking a national bank and economic domination.
