The t<( wealth of the country is unexampled, and the n products of its Agriculture, Art*, and Mann ' faettircs. are superabundant. The amount of ^ [?old nnd silver, too, is more than Miflicicnt for ^ the natural necessities of trade; Ixit a want of e confidence lias deranged the current operations ' i>f business. and occasioned the present paral- : J*! ... , r> 1 ? li ysis in the money market: ^ Either nil the economists are in gross fumla- o mental error, or else tlie periodical money pan' ; Ii ics of the present centurv were worse Ihan un- ! y uecessnry. From the time of Adam Smith, un- 'd :il now, the settled doctrine was and is, money tl is not wealth, and that it does not even regulate a >r fix I he value of wealth ; hut on the contra- ,S :y, that commoditie* eonstilute the only wealth, l> ind that regulate and fix the value of money. iI'his doctrine id held at this time as firmly as! Ii ?vcr. Lately, the grent French writer?lias | a tiat?Iiiim illustrated and enforced it, nnd all ji the great men, in tho world of finaticu, ho- 1 tl licved it firmly. Ttiey regard money, so fur ; h as used in commerce, as n mere facility for the i v sxehnnge of commodities, ami they want only ; r as much of it as the commodities to be ex- ! A changed require. j d Now if this doctrine he sound, how is it that j e Ihc present money panic has sprca-L widely i t< Ihrough the whole country, at a timo when e she has more wealth (commodities,) than she j p ?vcr hud before. The land trroans heneath the fi *bundttiice of her products of agriculture, man ] tl iifiictures and mechanics. The country has j p [.-very thing that any body wants,- nnd every- j V body has something that his neighbor wants j h to sell. If this be wealth, and thoonlv u-onFil> I ?. why then is the whole country in n fever n- ! o bout money f We have cotton and wheat, d mil corn nnd Imp, nnd cut t ie nnd wood ami j ti jonl, nndcotton fabric* nml silks nnd' broad- I c doths?every necessary nnd every luiury, with tl railroads nml cnr.*, nnd steamboats nnd' ships, a: tnd every other facility for their exchange, ]i tnd yet everybody is crying out, for money! ii notify ! ! mokky !! ! 11 Not only this country teeming with every <j lung they need, bin if tliov must have money, here m-plenty of that. 'lit e gold nnd 6tlver m low in the country cannot be less thnn three pi >undrcd millions ! One half of it would suf- si ice to exchange the commodities now pressing si o market, if commerce could just go on in her tl: Kiial wny. She will do so at Inst, nnd then ! to verybody will be ashumcd of the groundless bj tanic. l3o they know how little it takes to ju jiiict a panic) That has been frequently test- m d in England.
