Mr. Tappm introduced the scheme and-made an earoesi and able speech in its support. His plan was to do away with all charters and all dxc.rus.ve banking privileges and throw open the business to all who wish to engage hi it, providing only that no paper shall be issued of a less denominator! than twenty dollars.. According to this plan, the ^j&te -governments would have nothing tojdo with the Currency, and all the general government u'ould have to do would- he lo say what shall be a dollar or an'eagle;, as to the res', the consti'ution does irvt'ry thing by making gold and silver the legal.tender. Upon this plan the peo pie would provide themselves wiih currcn. ey enough, arid a good an.I sound curren. ry, with the same certainty that they provide themselves with crttton or bread, or any ol'ier necessary, and ways enough would soon be contrived lor the regulation of exchanges.
