CONSIDERATIONS On the subject of Unchurteved Ranks, . nr a uini>’ri.u£STKu cirizkx. No. \ II. ■* j The Evils of Unchnrtcved Ranking Establish menu. In the commenceihtnl of these Numbers, I pro voked to treat fust of those matters w hich were likely to l>e peculiarly interesting to individuals con cerned in liie new banking establishments. A sin cere anxiety to present its speedily as possible to the public vie w, aoine Considerations which might lie l calculated to arrest the evil, gave rise to this ar rangement. Though I have not the vanity even of hoping that I have contributed in any degree to this dcsiratde event, I do not perceive with less gratifi cation, that the rngtfor new Hanking Estnblishin'-nts has in nosmnll degree subsided ; ht 1 am sanguine in the expectation that the good sense of the great mass of the coinnninitv, will discern the evil, and apply the prop rcorrective. Having devoted more attention, perhaps, to the subjects already spoken of, than may have general ly been thought necessary, 1 approach, thourfi with much diflide-ce, the <-0 skleratiouof matters of much greater difficulty and importance. 1 propose, in the p.estntanj some succeeding papers, tr-develope, as far as my scanty infonnation will permit, or my lim ited penetration enable me, the many evils which are likely to result to society at large, from the uu rcstrained estahlisiiment of hanking institutions in fc.e Slate of Virginia. On this subject, 1 shall not pretend to dogmatise, but def ire to be considered in the light «f an humble enquirer; and, if in what lias already appeared, a different spirit has ever been manifested, 1 trust it willbe attributed.to its proper cause—the Ims'y manner in which these papers have been prepared for the press. It is hv no means my intention torevive the liti gated questions which once agitated the public mind, in relation to the general effectsn! tiie Hanking.Sys tern. However disposed to allow then- full force to the arguments of the Republican parly in thiv slat -, whi h they urged so long with honorable, consis'i u cy, we must acknowledge it to be too late to revive them, except so far as they apply with additional propriety to the unlimited extension of the hanking system, by the unrestrained establishment of Un eliartered Kaoks. In (hispoii-t of view, they would b« indeed,well worthy of re-consideration. And, upon such ff retrospect,those, who have long and unsuc cessfully contended against a system of paper credit, • would discwrn, in the present state or things, the la mentable accomplishment of their gloomy forebo dings. If, indeed, it were possible to conceive, I hat any man cun rejoice in the public embarrassments, la-cause they prove lie Inis had the best «jf ti,<- argu ment, it is believed, the inflexible and patriotic men who r< »ist« d the establishment of banks, might de rive tint melancholy pleasure, from the contempla tion if the multiplied difficulties in whieh the Cir culating Medium of the United States, has for some time bten involved. Hut, whatever may be the justness of the ohjec tions which have been urged against the Hanking System, as such, they will he found, I tlimk, to ex ist to the utmost extent, when applied to its unre strained extension, by the unlimited establishment of Unchnrtered Hanks. I shall proceed to state succinctly some of the most prominent evils which threaten to flow frow this ahnndsnt s-oirce. A mong the advantag'-s sometimes ateibuted to the Ranking Sys-em on ttie or.e hand, surf strenuously I denied on the other, is the augmentation of the cir- ! dilating meiiiuB' of the country. The bent tits to be derived from fl moderate increase of the eireula ting medium,under particular circumstances, might well he admitted, without detriment to the argu ment I shall urge. They are denied, however, bv the profound Dr. Smith, who informs ns, (a ) '•that it is not by augmenting the capital uf a coun try/* that the operations of Hanking increase its in dustry. Hut the evils of such an s'lgrriehUiho* are sufficiently manifest. The first I shall mention, is the debfcei tion it occasions. Nothing can he conceived, more important in the character of ft circulating medium than its uniformi ty in value and quantify. It is true, that as the wealth and trade of society inere*J.:s, the quantity of Uie currency ought also to increase, anil will Ik necessarily augmented. This natural increase of quantify is i sw.ntially necessary to preserve the u (n) Smith’s Wealth of Nations, vtsL I, 31°, T)uL!iin Edition 17>), in i vols. nilomity vif value, whicli is »fl eminently important. Happily, too, all experience Inu proven, that then is no danger of the wealth and trade of society in creasing loo rapidly tor the medium of circulation, since the very n|*cnukvi id" trade is to bring it with in the country -is last as the demand T r it incivas et. Thus, if we hud no other circulation t'tan %;e eie, a d the quantity was insufficient for our s suu, it would itnmt diately rise in value, and b • transpor ted, of course, by mercantile men to this market, fr* tn th se countries where its value sva<lvss. . I’hc great danger to be apprehended, and one which rn-ser could have existed, h>it fin* the Banking Sv s t.-w, is, that the medium may lie augmented Im »vi fndly, in proportion to the increase of the w* althot a nation; and, this is peculiarly hazardous, v»hen, to use the language of the celebrated author just quoted, “the cmnmerce of the country is suspend ed, upon the Daedalian wings <d pap r-money, in ?t*-r*d of travelling about on tlie solid ground of gold ami silver.” The t>QS*r'i'itii of increasing the circulating me ditnn of* enuntrv, appears to he contested in that part of Or. Smith’s work, in which he contends, that “ the channel of circulation can only contain a cen tal-' quantity,” and, “that whatever is po tred into it beyond that quantile, cannot run in it, hut must o verrtow ”(h ) In the liktory, however, of-a Scotch hank, (~ c ) (which will be found pcctiliarly interes ting, from the gecat similarity of the causes which gave risi- to that and to the now batiks among us,) lie admits, that more paper* was issued than tliecir culation could easily ahr.ii b or employ, and In; rc imtnlh admits elsewhere, th.it both the Scotch fcc English lluuks, hav*, on many occasions, ovi r-tra il.’J ; in other words, issued mure paper than the circulation demands. The practicability *»T this augmentation, by an in flux of specie cannot be denied ; “The discovery of the mines in America, reduced in the Kith century, the value of gob I a id silver in Europe to about otic- I third of what it had het-ii before,” d) an effect which proceeded from the vast iuerreseofthe 7111m tity of tlie circulating medium. This v:,*t iidinx' did not then flow hack ns useless, hut “ teat poured into the channel of circulation” and produced a great depreciation of the value of the piechous m e UV«. this encrease of the quantity of the circulat ing medium may ais.ioec.-iainnaliy take place, 1 i«na giuo, in consequence nf immoderate issues of paper. If the s’atc of society in'leed be such that no confi dence is felt in hanks—that wh<*n u*i individual re ceives a note he immediately places it in a course to demand n ivment, no immoderate issue could take place. But, in such » st ate of tilings hawks could not long exi t, and then emillions of paper so rapidly returning upon them would not merely check an enlarged issue, of notes, hut totally embarrass their proceedings. Such then, is not the sta’* of things when Hanks do cxirt: (In the contrary, a hlind con fidence seemsgenet-a'ly .0 pervade society ia relation to them, and the nature of the transactions by which they are circulated, tends farther to confirm their currency. A great proportion of the holders of notes are almost as ivatdy to take the notes of one house calling itself a hank as another. They have generally few means of judging of their compa alive credit, and rarely if ever, contemplate a demand of paymenttat the bank. Events now passing before our eyes even prove, that a note will pass which is sus pected. Even the man who doubts about it is disposed to take it in the confidence of passing it off to another. The time he intends or expects to hoid it is very short and the amount of each note is so small dial tl.e risk seomsinngi.ificant. Besides this, every m*n who is a borrower of the banks, receives his loan in their paper, and is tints in every point of view in ti rested in faring it into circulation, lie who bor rows t"> pay de’- Is, generally finds no difficulty in get ting rid of anv paper; since most creditors arc re a dj- to receive any thing I ke money in payment, rather than postpone a collection which at a future day might be mure difficult. All these circumstan a. s combine in pouring into circulation almost all the paper the banks are disposed to issue. Ileuce too, it is, that at the present period, even the Lank paper is km redeemable witu specie. r> oti* ot ev ery deirription are in circulation : anil tho’ mme nr. at a discount, yet is it t"0 trivial, materially to the position l contend lor, viz. that causes sometimes conspire to give an artificial currency to hank paper which enables tli'ise establishments to pour into circulation more than the natural quantity of exchangeable im.tliutn. Ur. S / a li’sjown authority indeed, in rel -lion to ths Scotch bunk9, authorisesus to say, that banks can occutunnally throw t>*o great a quantity of pap: r into marlu t. ‘louse his expression, they occasiona'ly o ver-trade; and tl.is is always the cx-e, 1 presume, when they lend their capital, not for the necessary put poses of trade, liut to chimerical projectors, and speculators, and spend-thrifts.—It must require, in deed, no little skill in a hank direction, to preserve the bunk emission tinifot m, and to ai oid over trading, when surrounded by numerous institutions etigigeil in the same pursuit. Tlie great desideratum is to hit tint hippy medium which will enable them to make g mil ilivdends, withouta hazoardous emission of paper. I’oliiic 1 oeennnmt ts appear to differ however us to the effects of lint iuoen ase of the quantity <•! pa per in circulation. T)r. Smith (e) expressly de nies, that it produces any increase of tlie money price of com modifies ; contending that specie disap pears as pa; • r passes into circulation, and fiat if • hr circulation he ot - full the superfluity will imme diately return upon the hanks from which it issued. Thornton CfJ 0,1 tlie contrary contends that “every encrcase of paper enhances the price of goods,g ) which advanced price affording employment t<> a larger quantity of circulating medium, tlie circulati on can never be stud ts Or overfull.” And “ this advanced price of goods,” says the same author, “ is ihr same thing as a reduced price of coin.” Onr own experience appears to justify the opini ons ot Mr. Thornton. It is believed that none will deny that the circulating medium of the United States is very much increased, and all may bear testimony to the corresponding rise in the price of sorry species of property, and a proportionate Je preciatiau of the value of money. ’The natural effi ct on society of this depreciation, is to raise tlie nominal price of commodities, to effect al; contracts that are to be performed in future, to destroy public confidence in tlie n ...

Upon my arrival ofl* that place, I received from our Consul a letter ; in consequence of the information contained in this letter, I deemed it necessary to demand justice frtm the Bashaw. On the’ next day the Governor of ttic City of Tripoli, came on hoar l the Guerriere, to treat in behalf of the Bashaw. He objected to the amount claimed by us, but finally agreed to our demands. The money, amounting to the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, hns been paid into the hands of the Consul, who is Agent for the Privateer. The Bashaw al o delivered up to me ten captives, two of them Danes, and the ethers Neapolitans. During the progress of our Negcciations with the States of Bnrbary, now brought to a conclusion, there has appeared a disposition on the part of each of them, to grant, as far as we were disposed to demand. I trust that the successful result of our small expedition, so honorable to our coun try, will indu e ether nations to follow the example ; in which case the Barbary States will he compelled to abandon their piratical system. I shall now proceed with the Squadron to Carlhagena, at which place 1 hope to find the relief Squadron from Ameri ca. Extract of a letter from Commodore Bein bridge to the Secretary of the Aavy, dated United States' Shi/i Indepen dence, off Bay of Tunis, September 6th, 3815.

On my way I called at Algiers to exhibit this additional force off there, presuming t would have some weight i i preserving the peace which h d just been made ; for, the only mode of convin cing these people, is by ocuiar demonstra tion. On my arrival off Tripoli, I learned that Com. Decatur h id been there with the first squadron, and had adjusted our d fft r ences which existed at that place. Our Consul at Tripoli informed me that the exhibiting of our Naval Force bef.<r.c Tripo li, had produce’, a most favorable change in the disposition of the Bashaw for preser ving the peace w;th us. At Tripoli, learning that the Bey of Tu nis was restless towards the U. Stites, I , immediately proceeded with the vessels with me for that place. On my arrival at Tonis, I F amed by a letter from our Consul tuere. That the Bey and his officers were friendly disposed to wards us. Having, agreeably to your instructions, exhibited the force under my command to all the Barbary powers, (and which I be lieve will have a tendency to prolong our treaties with them) I have only now, in further obedience to those instructions, to retem with the squadron to the U.
