Présentation de l'éditeur

Sr A I I Hi IE I RECENTLY published a short Tract, which is annexed, with a view to rectify some manifest errors, by which the public mind is deluded, mrespect to the great question of our domestic Currency. I therein described the true nature o Fthe standard of our gold coin, tinder the law and the royal prerogative. I prosed, that the rise in the price of Gold could not be attributed to an excess of Bank Notes in circulation ;as the amount ofour circulation was extremely deficient in comparison with the proportional circulation before the war. I suggested, that the increased price of Gold Bullion, as the increased price of all other commodities, arose from our augmented taxation. I demonstratedy that any reduction of the quantity of our currency; by increasing its value, would proportionally increase the value and the pressure of our taxes, and thereby prevent any decrease of prices, which such a measure might seem to promise.
