724. BANKS, Monopoly.—
The monopoly
of a single bank is certainly an evil. The
multiplication of them was intended to cure
it; but it multiplied an influence of the same
character with the first, and completed the
supplanting of the precious metals by a paper
circulation. Between such parties the less we
meddle the better.—
