evil employment banking
We are overdone with banking institutions, which have banished the precious metals, and substituted a more fluctuating and unsafe medium... These have withdrawn capital from useful improvements and employments to nourish idleness... These are evils more easily to be deplored than remedied.
politics economy guides
We are completely saddled and bridled, and... the bank is so firmly mounted on us that we must go where it will guide.
fall sacrifice wind
The banks themselves were doing business on capitals three-fourths of which were fictitious. This fictitious capital... is now to be lost, and to fall on somebody; it must take on those who have property to meet it, and probably on the less cautious part, who, not aware of the impending catastrophe, have suffered themselves to contract, or to be in debt, and must now sacrifice their property of a value many times the amount of the debt. We have been truly sowing the wind, and are now reaping the whirlwind.
division politics misery
I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable, but the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property.
dream blessing agriculture
At the time we were funding our national debt, we heard much about "a public debt being a public blessing"; that the stock representing it was a creation of active capital for the aliment of commerce, manufactures and agriculture. This paradox was well adapted to the minds of believers in dreams.
land community citizens
A community of small farmers... land property owners, will be the only assurance that the freedom our republic offers will be guaranteed to each and every citizen.
life success success-in-life
Don't spend your money till you have it.
people liberty mass
Educate and inform the whole mass of the people.
believe ignorant wish
Those who wish to be ignorant and free, believe in something that never was and never shall be.
safety individual justification
There is no justification for taking away individuals' freedom in the guise of public safety.
government newspapers
I'd rather have newspapers and no government than government and no newspapers.
office made convenience
Public offices were not made for private convenience.
war arithmetic interest
Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is in their interest to go to war.
years second-amendment twenties
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
