The
Perpetual Motion and Alliance Critique Dominate 1830s Debates
In a 1835 1836 debate on a US banking bill John Randolph Roanoke argued perpetual motion about money and banks. The piece then urges readers that Democratic press misrepresents the St Louis Alliance convention, praising the Alliance as true Democracy of North Carolina and denouncing party bosses. It includes Ignatius Donnelly’s St Louis arraignment of plutocrats, detailing corruption, bribery, mortgage burdens, and calls for union of producers to restore government to the people and oppose capitalists.
