I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our
liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property
until their children wake-up ******** on the continent their fathers
conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and
restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. -Thomas
Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin
(1802) (????)
3rd president of US (1743 – 1826)
>>
Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is
now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of
bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes
should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of
employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures,
commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to
burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits,
profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs. “Thomas
Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814. ME 14:61
Certainly no nation ever before abandoned to the avarice and
jugglings of private individuals to regulate according to their own
interests, the quantum of circulating medium for the nation — to
inflate, by deluges of paper, the nominal prices of property, and
then to buy up that property at 1s. in the pound, having first
withdrawn the floating medium which might endanger a competition
in purchase. Yet this is what has been done, and will be done,
unless stayed by the protecting hand of the legislature. The evil has
been produced by the error of their sanction of this ruinous
machinery of banks; and justice, wisdom, duty, all require that they
should interpose and arrest it before the schemes of plunder and
spoilation desolate the country. “Thomas Jefferson to William C.
Rives, 1819. ME 15:232
