Speech on currency and banking by Col Hunt interpreted
Col Hunt argues the new national bank must absorb most specie and additional circulation to reach fifty million capital. He warns that Harrison's election would spark panic, lower confidence, and hurt wages and trade. He defends the Independent Treasury, explains the fiat of paper money versus specie, and asserts currency must align with world prices and labor value.
