reiicy. 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.

provide themselves with crttton or bread, or
any ol'ier necessary, and ways enough
would soon be contrived lor the regulation
of exchanges.
Mr". Denton and others ridiculed and
condemned Mr. Tappan's scheme, and
shewed plainly in tl.cir remarks; that ilry
