Bankers and paper money distortions critique finance system
The writer argues that country bankers issue notes to fund law and commerce, inflating currency and raising prices for bread meat and essentials. They claim bankers mortgage estates and advance paper, lowering money value, and suggest restricting bankers to discounting bills would benefit the public. If circulation were prohibited, life’s necessities would shrink, and duties would shift to malt to cover excise costs.
