Debate over national currency and banks in 1839
The argument denounces a push for a national paper currency and a United States Bank. It defends gold and silver as universal money, critiques bank-issued notes, and warns that a national bank would control finances and burden public workers and merchants. It calls for preserving specie payments and a sub-treasury style collection of revenue.
