To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I may, I trust, be permitted to enquire what absolute need we have, of a more extended metallic currency, and that in gold, provided there is a sufficiency in circulation to meet the foreign wants of the country. Is not a paper circulation, founded upon the security of government and the nation, more suitable to our com- mercial and internal wants than gold, and has it not during the last 30 years become part of our natural system' Indeed it presents to the commercial world a far greater securi...ty than gold, since in case of loss by accident, or by the defection of intermediate agents, or of robbery of Banks, it admits of a chance of stoppage and recovery, which gold does not. If however govern- ment prefer giving a gold circulation to the nation, let us not contemn the measure; but let us then require of it to provide 30 millions per annum in gold, as pay- ments of the national dividends, without interference with the Bank of England — without borrowing of that body against government issues of paper in Exchequer Bills as at present; thereby intercepting the regular 44 wants of the country, and creating the greater part of the perplexity and distress of which the nation so gene- rally complains.
