Me Van Buren Reply on National Bank and Tariff Policy
In Kinderhook on February 15, 1843, Martin Van Buren replies to Indiana Democrats on banking, public lands distribution, protectionist tariff, constitutional veto limits, and supporting a Democratic presidential nominee. He opposes a national bank as unconstitutional and harmful, recounting past bank crises, contractions, and expansions, and warns against revived centralized money power while urging vigilance and adherence to democratic principles. He argues paper money as dangerous when issued by government and defends free regulation by market forces.
