Sinopsis
Excerpt from Remarks on Currency and Banking: Having Reference to the Present Derangement of the Circulating Medium in the United States
The laws of the United States establish the coinage and currency of both metals. By the law Of 1792, gold was estimated to be worth fifteen times its weight in silver, which was, at that time perhaps, an accurate estimate of the actual relative value of the two metals. Since that period a decided and permanent change has taken place in that respect in favor of gold; and by the law passed in 1834, our gold coinage and several foreign coins are made current in the proportion of six teen times their weight of silver.
The effect of this law is, to make an important change in our metallic currency. Previous to its passage, our whole currency consisted of silver; gold was merely merchandise, worth about five or six per cent. Above its legal valuation. Since 1834, gold has been constantly displacing silver, and is becoming the basis of our bank circulation.

Excerpt from Remarks on Currency and Banking: Having Reference to the Present Derangement of the Circulating Medium in the United States
No apology would seem to be necessary for publishing an essay on Currency and Banking. The derangement of our currency has brought the subject home to every man's business and bosom with an intensity which has made it the engrossing topic of the country. It is however a subject of great difficulty; as a science it is abstruse and recondite. In practical application, we find every possible variety of opinion; the great obstacle to the restoration of a sound currency is believed to be an erroneous public opinion. - In the hopes of doing something in reforming erroneous views the present slight and hasty sketch is offered. The object is to present those principles which have the sanction of the best writers on the subject and which all experience is believed to confirm, in a form to be applied to the present condition of the country.
Unfortunately the subject has been connected with the party politics of the day. Nothing can be more unfavorable to the development of truth, on questions in political economy, than such a connection. A good deal which is false, with some admixture of truth, has been put forward by political partisans on either side. As it is the wish of the writer that the subject should be discussed on its own merits and free from such contaminating connection, he has avoided as much as possible all reference to the political parties of the day.
