New York Banks and the Banknote Controversy
The author surveys New York banks finances as of February 1845, noting loans and discounts near 70.85 million and specie around 6.69 million. He argues that banks issue far more paper than specie, rely on public confidence, and contend the safety of the system rests on belief rather than redeemable specie, criticizing irredeemable notes and calling for scrutiny of bank solvency.
