The Currency Question PDF Download

Excerpt from A Popular Treatise, the Currency Question: Written From a Southern Point of View The publishers are interested in presenting to the public this essay of Judge Hughes, which contains an able and forcible argument against the inflationists, who demand an unlimited issue by the government of an irredemable currency, and a clear and convincing statement of the service rendered to the country by the national banking system, in reply to those who would destroy this system, and would replace it by a return to the old method of irresponsible State banks, the unguaranteed notes of which would be, as before, uncurrent beyond the immediate neighborhood of their place of issue.
