Excerpt from History of the Monetary Legislation and of the Currency System of the United States: Embracing Rare and Invaluable Documents, To Which Is Added a Speech on Our Currency System"When the mariner has been tossed for many days in thick weather and on an unknown sea, he naturally avails himself of the first pause in the storm, the earliest glance of the sun, to take his latitude and ascertain how far the elements have driven him from his course." Not for a few days only, nor for a few months, nor even for a few years, but for twenty, have the monetary pilots of the United States, entrusted with the care of the ship of state, been tossed about upon the waters, by the jarring winds of false financial doctrines, yet so far from availing themselves of the pauses in the storm that have occasionally given them a glimpse of the sun and light to determine their bearings and position, and discover how far they had drifted or been driven from the course of the correct principles of currency legislation, they seem bent rather on steering clear of the right path and sailing, without chart or compass, one knows not whither, except that it must be through darkness to danger and, perhaps, disaster.One such glimpse they had after the clouds of the crisis of 1893 began to clear away.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
