General Hamilton and the Independent Treasury
The Federal editor of the Herald argues Hamilton fathered the National Treasury. He laid the foundation for a National Bank and supported transferring funds to banks. The piece notes changes under Hamilton as Treasury Secretary to keep the name while shifting funds to banks, linking it to monarchial implications. It also references Andrew Jacksons seventy second birthday and remarks on Stokely’s repeal of the small note law, with Texas prices for flour, lumber, and shingles.
