Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Bank, an Account of the Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Second Bank of the United States The agitation now going on in the United States for important changes in the banking and currency system gives especial interest at this time to a study of our early financial history. It is instructive to know when and how we were switched off the course followed by nearly all other countries in their banking development, and how our system differs in organization and efficiency from the systems of other countries. When Alexander Hamilton faced the problem of providing the young republic with a currency system, and also with a fiscal agency that would be a right arm to the Treasury, he naturally turned for a model to the Bank of England which had demonstrated the usefulness of a great bank of issue, both to the government and to the public. Since then all of the other countries of Europe, one by one, have followed Hamilton in the establishment of similar institutions.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...amusing case is that of John Tyler. Tyler was chairman of the Senate investigating committee of 1834, and, voicing the austere public morality characteristic of Virginia Republicanism since the days of Jefferson, criticised the bank for disseminating pamphlets and congressional reports.1 "Our friend," wrote Webster, "seemed to reserve all his censure for these heads."2 Biddle, therefore, felt quite safe in asking Tyler if he wished his report disseminated. The surprise and disgust of the bank's president may easily be guessed when he discovered that Tyler did wish it to the extent of a thousand copies.' Whatever credit is due Tyler for his political morality, a sense of humor was evidently not his prominent characteristics. That the matter of printing was carried entirely too far will easily be gathered from what has been said, and even the bank's most eager partisans were convinced that this was so. Watmough, who arranged for much of the printing, at last protested. He thought they should cut down the number of congressional speeches published, though he added, with bitter pleasantry, "It is a great assistance to Green, to be sure. He is at best however but a mauvais sujet, and scarcely worth what has already been done for him." The printers, in his opinion, were "pretty much all alike--let them handle the money, au diable, the rest."4 The charge of jobbing in public stocks touched the honor of the president and corporation, and, if proved, established a violation of the law; for the charter declared that the cor 15.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Works Relating to the First and Second Banks of the United States: With Chronological List of Reports, Contained in the American State Papers and in the Congressional Documents This List has been compiled with a view to indicate material complementary to that given in the recent list on currency. Some of the proposals for revision of our currency system provide for central banks of issue. These being somewhat analogous to the old Bank of the United States, and the history of that bank therefore illustrative, the List notes many titles dealing with it; also contemporary discussions; but it does not go so far as to include biographies of the chief actors in the controversy regarding it. The American Statesmen Series includes many of these biographies, and the general index to the Series under the heading "Bank of the United States" will guide to the pertinent material. As noted on the title-page, documentary material contained in the American State Papers and in the Congressional documents forms a separate section of the List. The documents cover the period from 1789-1838, and include references to debates as printed in the Annals of Congress.

Download or read book The Second Bank of the United States written by Jane Ellen Knodell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2016 marks the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Second Bank of the United States (1816-1836). This book is an economic history of an early central bank, the Second Bank of the United States (1816-36). After US President Andrew Jackson vetoed the re-chartering of the Bank in 1832, the US would go without a central bank for the rest of the nineteenth century, unlike Europe and England. This book takes a fresh look at the role and legacy of the Second Bank. The Second Bank of the United States shows how the Bank developed a business model that allowed it to make a competitive profit while providing integrating fiscal services to the national government for free. The model revolved around the strategic use of its unique ability to establish a nationwide system of branches. This book shows how the Bank used its branch network to establish dominance in select money markets: frontier money markets and markets for bills of exchange and specie. These lines of business created synergies with the Bank’s fiscal duties, and profits that helped cover their costs. The Bank’s branch in New Orleans, Louisiana, became its geographic centre of gravity, in contrast with the state-chartered banking system, which was already, by the 1820s, centred around New York. This book is of great interest to those who study banking and American history, as well as economic students who have a great interest in economic history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Battle: A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency, including an account of the first United States Bank, - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who, like the father of Sir Robert Peel, believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good, in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking, - a system which has produced panics at will, and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers, rail road wreckers, and those industrial tyrants of modern times, the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegat ing purely government powers to these greedy monopo lists, by which they are enabled to organize a money trust, far more tyrannical than all the other combina tions now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how the Rothschild Banking Dynasty fomented war and assassination attempts on 4 presidents in order to create the Federal Reserve Bank • Explains how the Rothschild family began the War of 1812 because Congress failed to renew a 20-year charter for their Central Bank as well as how the ensuing debt of the war forced Congress to renew the charter • Details Andrew Jackson’s anti-bank presidential campaigns, his war on Rothschild agents within the government, and his successful defeat of the Central Bank • Reveals how the Rothschilds spurred the Civil War and were behind the assassination of Lincoln In this startling investigation into the suppressed history of America in the 1800s, Xaviant Haze reveals how the powerful Rothschild banking family and the Central Banking System, now known as the Federal Reserve Bank, provide a continuous thread of connection between the War of 1812, the Civil War, the financial crises of the 1800s, and assassination attempts on Presidents Jackson and Lincoln. The author reveals how the War of 1812 began after Congress failed to renew a 20-year charter for the Central Bank. After the war, the ensuing debt forced Congress to grant the central banking scheme another 20-year charter. The author explains how this spurred General Andrew Jackson--fed up with the central bank system and Nathan Rothschild’s control of Congress--to enter politics and become president in 1828. Citing the financial crises engineered by the banks, Jackson spent his first term weeding out Rothschild agents from the government. After being re-elected to a 2nd term with the slogan “Jackson and No Bank,” he became the only president to ever pay off the national debt. When the Central Bank’s charter came up for renewal in 1836, he successfully rallied Congress to vote against it. The author explains how, after failing to regain their power politically, the Rothschilds plunged the country into Civil War. He shows how Lincoln created a system allowing the U.S. to furnish its own money, without need for a Central Bank, and how this led to his assassination by a Rothschild agent. With Lincoln out of the picture, the Rothschilds were able to wipe out his prosperous monetary system, which plunged the country into high unemployment and recession and laid the foundation for the later formation of the Federal Reserve Bank--a banking scheme still in place in America today.
