The aid they afibrd to enterprise is always encumbered , with oner ous securities, quickly and mercilessly ex acted. Individual assistance by loans from the capitalists would be much more servicableBan k resources can not be greater than the aggfe- gate means of the community, and all capital ists would.be lenders, ir banks were not privi- leged to- monopolize loans. They - make -' a specious credit the counterfeit :''cf' capital, a sirt of volcanic capital; always on the point of erplosion, every time ' it bursts, :1 diminishing i onfidence in banks, which must 'soon be alto gether exhausted of credit with all who take I any . heed from experience. - There are: few now lirin-g who have not had more than one serious warning that discount loans cost more ; and yield less than individual loans; and that instead of being ti succour, they are fetters to enterprise. , r? This imperfect ; view, of American banking T. -has been confined exclusively to - an exposi .;,tion o( its disadvantages in itsidepartures from that metallic basis, which is the only true standard of value, whose coinage andregula tion do not belong to the . goyernaient of this or another state,' but have been sui rendered, as was before shown, to the government of j these United btates. in such view, the bank last chartered by Pennsylvania, formerly the Bank of the United States, is lof be considered only as the largest, most lasting' most. privil eged and therefore most dangerous, of those magazines ot mere creau, wi'icn tnconsiaeraie Stale legislation has gloo rloo Tko cap!,, " tal of the bank of Kngland 'is about : 'fifty mil: lions of.dollars; that of Ireland 13 about fifty millions; that. of JTrahce abqnt eighteen mil lions.

Thaisy stem is elementally and essentially false; and the only cause of com plaint against the federal government, ii may be repeated, is that it did not begin sooner, and. more strenuously to cnf6rce specie payments; hot ' onl v at the land offices, but at the custom houses, and for all the public dues.'
