To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This defect is inherent to every species of paper currency, even when payable on demand. There were three hundred and twenty-nine state banks, and twenty-two offices of the Bank of the United States, in operation on the 1st of January, 1830. We had therefore three hundred and fifty-one distinct curren- cies, all convertible into specie, but each at diffi^rent places. A note of the Bank of the United States, or of the Bank of North America, both payable at Philadelphia, was no more exchange- abl...e for gold or silver, at Bedford, in Pennsylvania, than at Cin- cinnati; the only difference consisting in the greater distance from the place of payment, which renders a fluctuation in the rate of exchange more probable. V/hen, therefore, it is ob- jected as a want of uniformity, that the notes issued by the Bank of the United States, and its several offices, are not indis- criminately made payable at every one of those places, the ob- jection does not go far enough. In order to attain perfect uni- formity, or to render those notes everywhere precisely equal in value to specie, they should be made payable at every tovyn or village in the United States.
