The cause of the present threatened famine : Traced to its real source, viz. An actual depreciation on our circulating medium, occasioned by the paper currency, with which the war, the shock given to public credit in 1794, the stoppage of the bank in 1797, and the bankruptcies of Hamburgh in 1799, inundated the country, to accommodate government, and enable the merchants to keep up the price of their merchandize. Shewing, by and arithmetical calculation, founded on facts, the extent, nay, the very mode of the progress, which the paper system has made in reducing the people to paupers. With its only aparent parcticable remedy. By Common Sense, author of the letter which appeared under that signuture in the morning chronicle of September 17, on this subject.
