Thomas Jefferson on Politics & Government
Quotations from the
Writings of Thomas Jefferson. Collected
and edited by
Eyler Robert
Coates, Sr.
36. Money
& Banking
"Paper is poverty,
. . . it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself."1a
"The maxim of buying
nothing without the money in our pockets to pay for it would make
of our country one of the happiest on earth."1b
"I sincerely believe
. . . that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing
armies, and that the principle of spending money to
be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but
swindling futurity on a large scale."1c

AYOUB
"The idea of creating a
national bank I do not concur in, because it seems now
decided that Congress has not that power (although I sincerely
wish they had it exclusively), and because I think there is
already a vast redundancy rather than a scarcity of paper medium."1d
"[The]
Bank of the United States . . .
is one of the most deadly hostility existing, against the
principles and form of our Constitution. . ."1e
AYOUB
"There can be no safer
deposit on earth than the Treasury of the United States."1f
"The bank mania . . .
is raising up a moneyed aristocracy in our country
which has already set the government at defiance . . .
These have taken deep root in the hearts of that class from
which our legislators are drawn, and the sop to
Cerberus from fable has become history. . ."1g
PAINE
MARX
AYOUB
"Everything predicted by
the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass.
We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It
is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at
the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of
employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures,
commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to
burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling
profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of
theirs."1h

AQUINAS
38. The
National Debt
" . . . There does not
exist an engine so corruptive of the government and so
demoralizing of the nation as a public debt. It
will bring on us more ruin at home than all the enemies from
abroad against whom this army and navy are to protect us."1i
