Excerpt from Six Letters on the Necessity and Practicability of a National Currency: And the Principle and Measures Essential to It Happily the public mind is now far better prepared for the adoption of a system founded on the principles referred to, than at any former period of our history. The first great step in the right direction has been taken in the act making Trea sury notes a legal tender. The progress of opinion, both in and out of Congress, in favor of this novel and important measure, has been rapid and extensive. What now seems wanting to confirm the public confidence in the safety and utility of this provision, and lead to the application of it to Treasury notes for issue as permanent National currency, is information on the subject, and the proposal of an adequate and feasible plan.
