| General note | "Which has so deluded the nation for years; providing that the Currency Question is only a component part of the National Standard, and that the present violation of the principles of the National Standard, robs all the industrious classes of three fourths of their wages, trebles our taxation, and is making us pay the National Debt five times over, and that this gigantic fraud began with that infamous Bill of 1819, thirty two years ago, and is the cause of all our woes, by having created the 'Abomination' of a false and changeable Standard of Value." |
