This, it is hoped, will be sufficient excuse for the want of arrangement, and for the familiarity of the style. I have for some years been anxiously looking forward to the time when the currency question might occupy the attention of this great nation; and when the evil of our present system should be so evident, that few would be found to raise objection to a fair enquiry on the subject. Many persons conscientiously believe that there may be danger in changing our metallic currency, or, as the term goes, "tampering with it."
