A lengthy diatribe accuses British aristocracy and European capitalists, via the Bank of England and the United States Bank, of engineering the American money crisis.

Banking controversy over Bank Directors claims and reform
The letter-borne debate centers on a Ross tract purchase and whether bank funds financed speculation.
