697. BANKS, Dropsical.—
I wish I could
see Congress get into a better train of finance.
Their banking projects are like dosing dropsy
with more water. * * * Their new bank,
if not abortive at its birth, will not last
through one campaign; and the taxes proposed
cannot be paid.—
To William Short. Washington ed. vi, 400.
(M.
Nov. 1814)
