Cause of the present importation of specie in the nation
Clinton argues that whig claims about the tariff causing specie influx fail. He cites House documents showing varied import totals from 1821 to 1837, contends that high tariffs did not boost specie, and attributes the current influx to currency scarcity, distrust of banks, and a shift to specie and banknotes. He invokes Washington on value over appearance and rails against bank dependence.
