TO MIR -
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITRD STATES. •
' Letter Simettenth.
"Nothing," .says Hume, "is - etteemed a more
certain sign of the flourishing condition of any na
tion, than the lowness of interest"—or, in other
words, the moderation of the - charge for the use of
that greatest of all the instrninents used by man--,
cailed.money. It is, Mr. President, an evidence
of the existence of that feeling of security which'
always attends atlvance of civilisation—the TAM
of interest being very high in all countries is
which property is insecure, and declining stiadily ,
as we pass outward, toward* those in which men
are more and more enabled ito combine their ef
forts for tho promotion of the common food—in
which - population and wealth increaseitt which
the land-becomes more pioductive—.-in Which the
~ pioductive-- 7 .., ......._ _
prices of raw materials tend to rise; and those of
finished commodities to 1111+ -and in which, eon
seipently, the power to purchase the precious met;
als augments (rum year to year.' . 1
That power, and the tendency to decline in the
rate of interest, exist In every community, In the
precbuiratio of the 1110104 of the eircalition or
labor and its products. The mote perfect the ex-.
!sting supply of money, and the more . it Is util
ised, the more rapid" is the circulation, ind the
greater the tendency to increase in the ability for
T
further purchases. ii less the alipply, and the
lest it is utilised, tbe t slower is the rocietary eir
culetionyand the grey er is the 'tendency to lose
the money that hat before been porehased. In
the one cue, labor obtains power over capital,and
the rate of interest, falls. In the other—capital
obtaining increased control over labor—the rate
of interest rises. The first of these -classes of
phenJmena obtain., in all tile' countries,
ma= that
follow in the lead of France-4 porting.. raw a 7
tubas, and exporting the pro ucts 'of their soil
in the most perfect form. The second is found in
all of those that follow in the direetiotf now ind)7
eared by England—exporting the rude products
of, the soil, and re-Importing them again in
finished elate; as is the ease with Ireland, India,
Jamaica, Portugal, Turkey, Mexico, and all this
States of Southern America.
In further proof of this, we may take the :vari
ous phenomena presented to ourselves, as ouVpol
icy has changed from time to time, within the
last half century. In the period of free trade
that followed the close of the great European
war, circulation almost ceased—labor was every
where wasted—production was small—and money
was scarce and high. In that which followed the
passage of the highly,,protective act of 1828,
everything was different—the circulation' having
then been rapid, labor in demand, production
great, and money low in price. The scene being
once more changed, pioduction declined, while
money rose with great rapidity—becoming, at
length, so entirely unattainable, that banks sus
pended, States defaulted, and' the Federal gov
ernment was wholly bankrupt. The protective
policy being again adopted, production increased
with great rapidity, while the rate of interest
foil. It has now been high for years, and fur the
reason that ',induction has been steadily and regu
larly declining in its ratio to the population. In
proof of this, we have, 'Mr._ President, the fact,
that the, consumption of food, cloth and iron,
bears now a smaller proportion to the numbers of
the people, than it did ten years since. The facts
•
of the Fast three years thee correspond, exactly,
with those observed in those that followed 1836.
Money was then high—f4eign loans -were large—
and emigration to the Wen was great. ,Si.ecula
lion was then rife, as it so recently has been; -hut
daily diminution of production Mid the foundu
lion of the distress and:ruin, that beeame so uni
versal in 1842.---_ - -
B. BANNAN
That real vro l sperity is totally inconsistent with
an advancinic late of interest, is a fact whose
truth proved by every chapter in the world's
history: In th:.st direction lie centralization and
slavery = increatie in the charge for the use of
*money being eTidence of growth in the power of
the accumulations of the pu t peer 'the - labor of
the present—of capital over labor. ',lin proof of
this we have the fact that throughout an impor
tant portion of the Union the pro slavery feeling
keeps steady pace with the exhaustion of the land
consequent upon the export of its products in their
rudest shapes, with the export of the precious
metals, and with the inekeaso in the price of
mony.
Money is often spoken of as capital; and'thos
we are told that interest is blab, hecaose,'"espital
is scarce." There would, however, be as :width
propriety In saying, that rents, tolls, or freights,
were Idgbpheesutist, —' -
alwayx,high, when money, from whatsoever
cause, is scarce; and the high price then•paid for
its use, cause - a deduction from the .pr,lts of the
trader, from the rents of houses, and „Cum, the
freights of ships. The owner of money' thin
profits at the espense.of all Other capitalists; In
terest is the compensation paid for the use of the
inornment cuffed money, and for thatialone. In
countries in which it is high, the rate of profit is
necessarily so, because.the charge for thq use of
money enters so largely into the trader's calcu
lations.
-The high profits of oar - Western States are said
to be the cause of the high interest that is paid;
bat here, as everywhere, modern political econo ,
my substitutes effect for CAUSO. Interest there is
high, because money—the thing for which, alone,
interest is paid—is scarce; and because its sear
eity'enahles the men who can command the nse
of machinery i of exchange, to obtain large profits,
by means of standing between the producer who
needs advances on his corn, and the consumer who
requires credit on his cloth and. iron. Wherever
it is scarce, circulation is sluggish; the waste of
the physical and mental power is great; and the
man who can then command the nee of that
dispensable machinery, becomes even more the,
master of him who desires to use it, than the
transporter dove, when crops are large, and'ehipa
are scarce.
Malty experience, Mr. President, teaches the
farmer that, when money—the machine by means
of which exchanges are made from hand to hand—
circulates freely, be becomes more prosperous from
day to day; whereas, when it is scarce, and cir
culates slowly, his prosperity disappears. It is
not capital that is needed, but money—the ma
chine by help of which the products of labor and
'eapital.are kept in motion, and Without which
they can moveotgy in the fashion of primitive
times, when skins were traded for knives and cloth.

fore were like to soffer forwattt el the common ne
cessarily of life: Whit, however, is it thee - gives'
•value t$ these notes, and Idyls it that they Circu
late saxnuch more freely than those of the black
'midland the , farmer? Because 'there exists in
the community a confidence that behind them stands
a pilf Of stoney eufficient to redeem each and every
one of them, whenever, and koweer, presented.
Without the existence of that belief, they would
not circulate, as would soon be seen, were here
established a drain of gold—producing a steady
diashattion of the qtiantity in the poisession of the
bank, until at length.even a single note failed to be•
paid oa presentation. From that moment their
circulation would be stopped ; the suspension of
movement would again take place—the black
smith, the machinist, nad the Wheelwright, again
mourning °veriest:umbras that they would glad
ly exchange for food and clothing; and the farm
er and manufacturer suffering from the difficulty
of obtaining machinety, for the better' production
of food and. clothing. Roney is to society what
fuel is to the locomotire, and food to the man—the
cause of motion ' whence results power. Withdraw
the fuel, and the elements of which water' is Cent
paled cease to move, and the machinery becomes
stationary. Withdrawal of the food from man, is
rationed by paralysis and death ; and.such, pre
eisely, is the effect of failure of the necessary'sup
ply of money—the producer of motion among the
elements of which soc i ety is composed.
_
' When, therefore, the farmer ciimplitins that -mo
ney is scarce, and tho laborer, mechanic, and ma
nufacturer repeat the complaint, they are right. It
is money that i 4 needed, and their common sense
does not in any manner dcceive them. In every
country of the world, pleasant feelings are excited'
by tearing of the incoming of gold and silver, bo-
Cane. therewith are issuciated ideas of activity
and energy ; while, 6n the:contrary, fear and sor
row are excited by their outgoing—there being
therewith associated ideas of dullaees, inactivity,
suffering and death. The former,Mr. President,
have been the feelings prevalent throughout this
country in tho clueing years of the several trials
we have made of the protective policy—to wit, to
1816,1834, and 1846—the preCious metals having
thee flowed in, curiidence having been mutual,
and money having been readily obtainable at the
legal rate of interest. The latter feelings have
prevailed in the closing years of every trial of the
free-trade system—those metals having then flowed
out;—conadence baring disappeared—and the
charge for the use of money having raogoil from
12 to 50 per cent.
The cense of all theAfferenoes then observed, is ,
to be found in the fact that, in t6ii first, the
Of the central government has tended to promote
-I `etewth of combination among ottryeople-to in
erase the fiiellitres Of exchange—Mind Se . soinuelit
production; whereas, : in'the other, it has tended to
destroy the power of association—to lessen the fa
cilities of intercotirse—and to diininieb the produc
tive power. In the one, we have•been enabled to
obtain improved machinery—passing from the
turnpike to the railroitil—from the sailing ship to
the steamer—from the hand.loton to the power
loom—and from irredeemable paper money to a
real speCie circulation. - Id the other, our umehi-,
nery has steadily deteriorated—railroads going to
ruin—steamers diminishing in number—the spin
dle and the loom giving place to the wagon—and
specie disappearing, to be replaced , by the incon
vertible notes of cities, countica,.and banks, and
of the national treasury itself.
Diminution in the rate of interest, Mr. Presi
dent, is on evidence of advancing civilization.—
With us the rate increases, and therefote it is that
each abecessise year brings with it new , combina
tions for procuring a repeal of the laws liMiting
the rate at which.toormy may be lent. The cause
of all this is to be found in the fact that the policy
of the central gorernntept looks steadily towards
an increase in the power of tho trader, and in the
tax of transportation—augmenting. as it does the
,quantity .of shipping ?citified for - transporting
an, given value of our prcducts, and thus dimin
ishing'Me poirrer, to purchase that highest andbeat
of all the machinery of exchange, called Money.
Under a different syetem that paver would steadi
ly increase. and usury laws would gradually die
out—the standard rate of interest falling below
the legal one.' All the efforts fur . ° tho repe al of
those laws ;mei° ho regarded only us furn ishing
additional evidence of the groat tog power of capi
tal over labor—always • characteristic. of decli
ning civilisatiuo.
Cur ptesent condition, Mr. President, is precise

from M. Coquelrn'il excellent little book. With a
large supply Of lands, houses, corn, cotton, and
