The establishment of the Bank of the United States in 1791 was an essential and vital part of the general scheme for the support of public credit proposed by Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury. The institu­ tion of a national bank Hamilton regarded as "an indis­ pensable engine in the administration of the finances/' a HAMILTON'S PLAN OF 1779. This conception of the utility of a bank was not a matter of impulse or sudden exigency. As early as 1779, Hamil­ ton wrote to Robert Morris favoring a bank of issue based on landed security.6 Later, in 1780, when the Revolu­ tionary finances were at low ebb and the currency of the country was demoralized, Hamilton, then serving in the army, wrote to Morris discussing the financial situation thoroughly and proposing measures of relief. "The only plan that can preserve the currency is one that will make it the immediate interest of the moneyed men to cooperate with the Government in its support." He proposed an American bank with a capital of $200,000,000. His project contemplated a foreign loan of $10,000,000 "to be thrown into the bank as a part of its stock.'' The Government was to guarantee one-twentieth of the sub­ scription money to the stockholders, and was itself to share half the stock and profits of the bank. All the a Hamilton's Report on Public Credit, December 13, 1790. b Hamilton's Works (Hamilton), Vol. I, p. 116. 9 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis National Monetary Commission remaining paper was to be called in and bank notes issued in its stead. The bank was to lend Congress £2,000,000 annually at 4 per c£nt. Hamilton ques­ tioned the necessity of so large a capital, but he wished to have it large enough "to engage a sufficient number of the principal moneyed men in the scheme." This "hasty production" of Hamilton's was the result "of some read­ ing on the subjects of commerce and finance," but in the ten years which intervene before Hamilton's great project for a national bank materializes his ideas on the subject undergo considerable change. HAMILTON'S PLAN OF 1781. On April 30, 1781, Hamilton, whose mind ran constantly to questions of government and finance, wrote again to Morris, who had recently been appointed Superintendent of Finance.a Hamilton had great respect for Morris, and he was eager to render him every aid possible. In this letter, discussing ways and means of raising revenue, Hamilton renews his suggestion of a national bank. He proposes a bank with a capital of £3,000,000 (though he thought it would succeed if only half that amount were obtained) founded in part upon landed security. Thus a subscriber of from 6 to 15 shares (£500 each) should pay one-half in specie (or plate or bullion), the other half in good landed security. Subscribers to 16 shares and over should pay one-third in specie, one-sixth in foreign bills of exchange, and one-half in good landed security. Hamilton recognized that to procure so much specie resort would have to be made to foreign assistance, for he esti- <*> Hamilton's Works, Vol. I, p. 223; Dunbar, Economic Essays, pp. 89-90. 10 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis First Bank of the United States mated that in all of the States there was not more than $6,000,000. The United States, or a particular State, or foreigners might subscribe in sums not to exceed one-half the capital. The notes were to be payable in pounds, shillings, and pence "to produce an illusion in the minds of the people favorable to the new paper," or rather to escape by a change of nomenclature the universal preju­ dice against the old continental currency, which was payable in dollars. Notes under 20 shillings were to bear no interest; above that sum they were to bear 4 per cent. This latter device was to give them preference over specie, and prevent a run upon the bank. Gradually the interest was to be reduced to 2 per cent. Some of the notes were to be payable in Europe as well as at home, so as to enable the bank to use its funds there and to increase the demand for bank notes by making them useful in foreign commerce. Loans were to be made at a rate not above 8 per cent. The bank might purchase estates and coin money to the amount of half its capital. This latter provision was necessary because the bank might receive plate or bullion as subscriptions, and profit might result from converting these into coin. The bank was to have the right to contract with the French Government for the supply of its armies and fleets in America and to contract with Congress for the supply of its armies. A loan of £1,200,000 at 8 per cent was to be made to Congress, for the payment of which a sinking fund of £110,400 per year was to be established for twenty years, and the States generally and severally were to pledge themselves for its payment.

  • A Model of the International Monetary System∗
    A MODEL OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEM∗ EMMANUEL FARHI AND MATTEO MAGGIORI We propose a simple model of the international monetary system. We study the world supply and demand for reserve assets denominated in different curren- cies under a variety of scenarios: a hegemon versus a multipolar world; abundant versus scarce reserve assets; and a gold exchange standard versus a floating rate system. We rationalize the Triffin dilemma, which posits the fundamental insta- bility of the system, as well as the common prediction regarding the natural and beneficial emergence of a multipolar world, the Nurkse warning that a multipolar world is more unstable than a hegemon world, and the Keynesian argument that a scarcity of reserve assets under a gold standard or at the zero lower bound is recessionary. Our analysis is both positive and normative. JEL Codes: D42, E12, E42, E44, F3, F55, G15, G28. I. INTRODUCTION We propose a formal model of the the International Mone- tary System (IMS). We consider the IMS as the collection of three key attributes: (i) the supply of and demand for reserve assets; (ii) the exchange rate regime; and (iii) international monetary in- stitutions. We show how modern theories developed to analyze sovereign debt crises, oligopolistic competition, and Keynesian ∗We thank Pol Antras,` Julien Bengui, Guillermo Calvo, Dick Cooper, Ana Fostel, Jeffry Frieden, Mark Gertler, Gita Gopinath, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, Veronica Guerrieri, Guido Lorenzoni, Arnaud Mehl, Brent Neiman, Jaromir Nosal, Maurice Obstfeld, Jonathan Ostry,

  • New York and the Politics of Central Banks, 1781 to the Federal Reserve Act
    New York and the Politics of Central Banks, 1781 to the Federal Reserve Act Jon R. Moen and Ellis W. Tallman Working Paper 2003-42 December 2003 Working Paper Series Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Working Paper 2003-42 December 2003 New York and the Politics of Central Banks, 1781 to the Federal Reserve Act Jon R. Moen, University of Mississippi Ellis W. Tallman, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Abstract: The paper provides a brief history of central banking institutions in the United States. Specifically, the authors highlight the role of New York banking interests in the legislations affecting the creation or expiration of central banking institutions. In our previous research we have detected that New York City banking entities usually exert substantial influence on legislation, greater than their large proportion of United States’ banking resources. The authors describe how this influence affected the success or failure of central banking movements in the United States, and the authors use this evidence to support their arguments regarding the influence of New York City bankers on the legislative efforts that culminated in the creation of the Federal Reserve System. The paper argues that successful central banking movements in the United States owed much to the influence of New York City banking interests. JEL classification: N21, N41 Key words: financial crisis, central bank, banking legislation The authors gratefully acknowledge William Roberds for helpful comments and conversations. The views expressed here are the authors’ and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta or the Federal Reserve System. Any remaining errors are the authors’ responsibility.

  • The Suffolk Bank and the Panic of 1837: How a Private Bank Acted As a Lender-Of-Last-Resort*
    The Suffolk Bank and the Panic of 1837: How a Private Bank Acted as a Lender-of-Last-Resort* Arthur J. Rolnick Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Bruce D. Smith University of Texas at Austin and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Warren E. Weber Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and University of Minnesota Abstract Before the establishment of federal deposit insurance, the U.S. experienced periodic banking panics, during which banks suspended specie payments and reduced lending. There was often a corresponding economic slowdown. The Panic of 1837 is considered one of the worst banking panics, and it coincided with a slowdown that lasted for almost five years. The economic disruption was not uniform across the country, however. The slowdown in New England was substantially less severe than elsewhere. Here we suggest that the Suffolk Bank, a private bank, was one reason for New England’s relative success. We argue that the Suffolk Bank’s provision of note-clearing and lender-of-last-resort services (via the Suffolk Banking System) lessened the effects of the Panic of 1837 in New England relative to the rest of the country, where no bank provided such services. * The authors thank the Baker Library, Harvard Business School for the materials provided from its Suffolk Bank Collection.

  • Safe Banking: Finance and Democracy Adam J
    Safe Banking: Finance and Democracy Adam J. Levitin† Banking is based on two fundamentally irreconcilable functions: safekeeping of deposits and relending of deposits. Safekeeping is meant to be a risk-free func- tion, but using deposits to fund loans inevitably poses risk to deposits, thereby un- dermining the safekeeping function. The expensive, inefficient, and unreliable ap- paratus of bank regulation is an attempt to square the circle between safekeeping and lending: government liquidity and deposit insurance facilities, capital and re- serve requirements, investment restrictions, and supervisory examinations are all aimed at keeping the risks of the lending function in check so as to ensure the safe- ty of deposits. This Article argues for splitting the lending function from the safekeeping function in both traditional- and shadow-banking markets through what it terms “Pure Reserve Banking.” In a Pure Reserve Banking regime, “safe banks” would offer safekeeping and payment services, and nothing else. Loans would be a func- tion solely of capital markets, which would operate without government facilitation of shadow-banking deposit substitutes. Historically, a separation between deposits and lending was not possible, but it is now feasible with today’s deep and efficient capital markets, which already provide the funding for much of the borrowing in the economy. Splitting the lending function from the safekeeping function would protect both the money supply from the market and the market from the money supply. It would enable the government to end its massive support of both formal-banking markets and shadow-banking markets and would thereby remove the moral haz- ard that encourages asset bubbles through overlending.
