Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plan of Reform in the Constitution and Governemnt of the United States and the State of New York In the spring of the year 1837, the inhabitants of these United States, almost to a man, were involved in a series of disasters which seemed to threaten an universal pecuniary ruin. The country was bleeding at every pore, the foreign creditor was pressing payment of his demands, and the domestic capitalist was withholding his means from the market, preferring to keep his treasures inactive, without drawing interest, rather than, to risk them in a crisis such as this was. A moral apoplexy seemed to overspread the land. Its healthful functions were at an end. Industry no longer claimed its reward - well directed enterprise no longer added to its possessors store, and labor no longer commanded bread. The once rich were brought to beggary, and the poor to starvation: - and this too, in a country rich in its innate resources, and richer still in the intelligence, the energy, and the enterprise of its inhabitants. A year passed by, and prosperity, to all appearance, had again revisited our land. The merchant was busy in the mart, the mechanic no longer folded his hands in idleness, and the laborer sought not in vain for bread to supply the wants of his family. Suffering, if not entirely banished, was at least so much alleviated, that it amounted to nothing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
