Money & banking a lecture delivered at the Mechanics' Institute, Toronto, exposing the swindling nature of the present banking system, and shewing how most of the failures that occur are caused by that system : shewing also how an inconvertible or domestic currency would protect and stimulate the industry of the country, how unjust and monstrously expensive for raising revenue the tariff system is, compared with direct taxation, and how the country can at once be relieved of the greater portion of its public debt : to the above has been added some further remarks on bank-debt as currency as well as a definition of protection
