"bided the time” of the negotiation More than two years
experience has shown that it is easy to pass a bill authori-
zing the negotiation of a loan—but that to effect it is rath-
er more difficult, and the loan is not yet negotiated, and
our distresses have increased by the delay it was found
indispensable in the fall of 1837, that there should be some
circulating medium—and the congressef ’37 and ’38 pru-
denily sanctioned the issue of five hundred thousand dollars
in promissory notes—thinking correctly that pne way to
• obtain credit was to be economical and cautious. While
the issue was kept within these limits, the notes suffered
‘little depreciation—and for the simple reason that the
/amount in circulation was proportioned to the demand.
