A 1 NW ASA IUI VUIIUII)JlsVls 1 bis lare sum is distributed ovex tho country in varjous ways and assists in paying for the important New Philadelphia over and above their exports The valley of the Miisippi must have some belter mode of con ducting this vast business of equalising these unequal ini porU and exports at the great commercial points than the unsteady and clashing operations of State banks This equalization is effected by the' internal trade of the country and it cannot be well conducted without the assistance of a national bank? 1 have documentary evidence to prove the Hdmirable effects produced upon the t'oreign and internal trade of the country by a national bank and likewise the calam itie wiich result from the disturbance of the currency and eettledjorder of things by the ill digested projects of po Ittical Quacks for instance the imports and exports for ten years prior to the removal of the deposites from the Bank Qf the United States and the reckless war upon that institution (which lies at the foundation of all ogr present financial and pecuniary embarrassments) and we shall see jj that there was a gradual advance in our exports and imports commensurate with the increase of our population and re sources whilst the business operations of the country were enoductcd with harmony and prosperity Look at the fol lowing table and then reflect that A national bank was ths great instrument of trade during the whole period Pounds 50000000 50000 49930000 1 peony per It thus appears that while thw Stale banks werg using the deposites and enlarging their accommodations according to the recommendations of the Administration in Tthree years our imports exceeded our exports $113089001 being verynearly thirty one per cent on the whole amount of our ex ports during the period and making a sum so large that magic uu truuM4iny me pronis 01 IDO tnuifl jreifhtt and wsgs cxAT produce oanct rn our vor It also ap" pears from the contrast of the two periods that in the latter our loss exhibited bjr the tables without respect to profits (which cannot be estimated for want of data) amounts to a per centage more than three times greater than the loss sus

A universal bank suspen sion took place in May and Congress was convened in Sep tember 1837 In October we commenced Sustaining the Gov ernment by authorizing tbe issue of ten millions oCTreasury and from that day to this confusion has become worse confounded until no man can see any chance for deliverance except by the expulsioq from office of all 'those who have aided to bring about the present state of things and who yet control public affairs without capacity to extricate either Government or people from the calamities which have result ed from their blunders My colleague (Mr White) has ex hibited the contradictory sayings and doings of some of tbe prominent and aspiring! men of the in such a light that a thinking people who will read and make themselves acquainted with the facts mUt feel a disgust for their pre tensions as statesmen and they will henceforth sink to their proper level and lose all power to delude by kumbuggery and arrogance Il is impossible that such men can lead this na tion to that high destiny to which it is entitled from its great natural advantages aad iu position on tbe fefie of the earth But sir Lam digressing I must retorn to my tables they exhibit the facts The currency diininished in the course of the year 1837 so fat aw it depended on bank paper from113411850 to $101074212 This rapid curtailment prov ed the great efforts made by the banks to resume specie pay ments They did resume but their resumption considered premature by many did not last long another suspension took place tbe la' ter pirt of last year: which yet continues over a large portion of the country There things have in Urrupted business and destroyed confidence The banks' must diminish their circulation yet further to maintain specie payments on another resumption As the currency is dimin uhed the prices of property and labor go down In this stale qf things this bill is forced on us wuh the avowal thatil is a measure of 'reforming the currency by coercing tbe Lawks to call in their issues to a yet greater extent As far as it has any effect it will be to reduce labor arid property still lower to the ruirfof the debtors and the enrichment of tne creditors 1 ne Ir lends of the bill thus practise upon the I 4 a I a a jxiuvijJ Cj WU4VU tviiuuu tuuiiuaiiOD iiiey nve cnargfti upon theft adversaries of making tbe poorer and the rich I was really amosed at 'me apparently grave cal culatiocs which a gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr Wu lums) gave us with a view as it seemed to me to prove that low prices were better than high He look the price of labor at two different periods and the price of flour at thesaine times and then' he proved if his information correct thatthe laborer could purchase more IJour for a work when the price of hi labor was lowest than he could when it was highest He and his friends then seemed to regard themselves with much self satisfaction as having demon strated beyond all doubt the excellency of their policy in re ducing prices and that the laborer who works for bis daily bread will be the gainer by it Well ir I will admit that iffloor is 49 per barrel when labor is 75 cents per day laborer can purchase a barrel bv 101 labor andthat If by diminishing the currency flour come down to $5 per barreland labor to 50 cents a day then the laborer cafi purchase a barrel for ten labor and save two thirds of a work This might all be well enough if man lived by bread alone Bert the laborer will want meat ax well as bread end he would likb to add a little coffee and tea and sugar His good wife will want a decent cap for Sunday and his daughter would like to beve a pretty bonnet and ribands and sir tbe customs of our country have made ail these things necessaries' I wjolce that our laboring classes have heretofore bad it it) their power to enjoy these and many other comforts 1 object to putting them on bread and water andyet sir they must come to that if you go on reducing prices until you get labor dow to the standard of Europe and AsiaThe genjleman from Massachusetts deludes himself by pot taking into consideration all the articles the laboring man roust buy If flour is reduced more than labor does it thence follow that coffee tea sugar and all other articles no matter where produced will fall in the same proporiionl No sir no On the contrary all foreign articles will keep up to what Xhey: now are and in purchasing these there will be a much greater loss to tbe laborer than be can gain fiy reducing the prices of domestic productions' But if domestic productions and labor all fall in the same ratio (which is most probable) then the laborer will have no advantage in purchasing sup plies raised and' made in hi own country and whatever he purchases from abroad will cost him a greater amount of la 7 bar But let tne nut a case a sum to tbs gentleman from' He seems to be ready with figure and can no doubt work' it through the rale of three Suppose a la borer owes 7 50 and th price of a
