  • Chapter Three Š the Marketplace
    Advocating The Man Chapter Three - The Marketplace Joshua R. Greenberg Threats Chapter Three — The Marketplace Written in the midst of the Panic of 1819, Wall-Street; or, Ten Minutes to Three 1 satirized New York City's financial sector, exposing the world of backroom dealings and unscrupulous characters already entrenched in the culture less than a generation after the founding of the city's first bank and less than a year after the establishment of the New York Stock Exchange. In one scene, a Mr. Shinner arrives at Mr. Hardrun's store in order to borrow some cash. Hardrun, short on funds due to exorbitant household expenses, refuses. Shinner responds: "If you have any uncurrent money by you, I can make it answer my purpose. I know a Mechanic who will exchange it for bankable; it answers him just as well to pay his journeymen with."1 The episode presented here was a standard story of the time: against the backdrop of domestic monetary concerns, shady financial characters and uncaring employers conspired to use unregulated economic practices to the disadvantage of helpless working men. In this particular case, the merchant Hardrun and speculator Shinner profited by reselling bank notes at a markup, an anonymous master mechanic profited by passing the discounted notes along to his employees, and hardworking journeymen suffered by getting cheated out of their earnings. This anecdote appeared in the second edition of a popular three act farce, but could easily have highlighted a trade union broadside or labor political speech. Such critiques of the potential threat to New York's working men and their families posed by the market revolution saturated organized men's cultural milieu.

  • Cast List Forged by Fire Dolley Madison, the White House, and the War of 1812
    Cast List Forged by Fire Dolley Madison, The White House, and the War of 1812 Guidelines for Completing the Forged by Fire Cast List • Start by assigning one student to each line. The traditional cast list contains 21 speaking roles for this play but can be adapted for 18-27 speaking parts. • Students who do not feel comfortable performing a speaking role can play a non- speaking part (see end of cast list) or be a crew member helping behind the scenes. • With the 21 speaking roles, some students are assigned to “double characters,” meaning that they play more than one role. The assignments were determined using the following criteria: o The characters are not in the same scene (or scenes that are close together). o If you chose to use costumes, no costume change is required to play both characters. • If you have more students than parts, feel free to split up the “double characters” (i.e., one student can play Richard Rush, another student can play John Calhoun). This will add up to 6 additional speaking parts. • If you do not have enough students to complete the cast list, you double up a few roles to get the speaking parts down to 18 and not have any overlap in scenes. o Captain Isaac Hull/any other character except Dolley Madison o James Smith/any Congressman (Randolph, Clay, or Quincy) o John Sioussat/any Congressman (Randolph, Clay, or Quincy) Cast List Forged by Fire Dolley Madison, The White House, and the War of 1812 CAST LIST Narrator: 1.

    Script Forged by Fire Dolley Madison, the White House, and the War of 1812 ACT I, Scene 1 1865 Paul Jennings is standing in front of the portrait of George Washington Jennings: Why hello! I didn’t see you there! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Paul Jennings. I was just reflecting on this painting. I’m working on my autobiography you see, and this painting of George Washington was part of an important event in my life. I’ve seen a lot of things in Washington, D.C., from my time as President Madison’s servant, to a free man with a government job. Why, I was at the White House before it was burned by the British in 1814! But, I’m getting ahead of myself. It all started in June of 1812 when Congress voted to declare war on Great Britain. During the war I watched the men and women of Washington society come to Mrs. Madison’s Wednesday night drawing rooms to talk politics and hear the latest news. 1 Script Forged by Fire Dolley Madison, the White House, and the War of 1812 ACT I, Scene 2 December 1812 Dolley Madison, Anna Cutts, Margaret Bayard Smith, and Maria Mayo are gathered around Mrs. Madison in what is today known as the Blue Room of the White House. It is a Wednesday night in December and Mrs. Madison is hosting one of her famous drawing rooms, where all guests, regardless of political party or beliefs, could come and enjoy the White House. Mrs. Madison: Ladies, I’m so glad that you could make it to my drawing room tonight.

  • When Banks Fail Sharon Ann Murphy Providence College
    A Divergence of Interests: When Banks Fail Sharon Ann Murphy Providence College Prepared for the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the Program in Early American Economy and Society Library Company of Philadelphia October 6-7, 2016 In June of 1819, the Exchange Bank of New York suspended specie payments, becoming one of the most famous casualties of the ongoing panic. A private bank run by Jacob Barker, the institution had been under constant attack since its inception in 1815 from the state-chartered banking interests of New York. Barker’s public battles with his competitors, the bank’s subsequent failure, and Barker’s 1826-7 fraud trials for his role in the failure of the Life and Fire Company of New York have colored the historical memory of the original bank. Jacob Barker is often depicted in the historiography as an opportunist, a speculator, or even an outright fraud who took advantage of the financial naïvety of the public and the inadequacies of state regulation in perpetrating his illegal activities. In his volume The Panic of 1819, for example, Murray Rothbard calls the Exchange Bank “a private bank of unorthodox principles.”1 In “Rogue Finance: The Life and Fire Insurance Company and the Panic of 1826,” Eric Hilt views the Exchange Bank as a trial run for the banker’s questionable practices during the 1820s.2 But the story of Barker’s Exchange Bank is much more complicated than just being a morality tale of financial chicanery. Indeed, the fact that the bank failed during the panic – along with a large number of state-chartered banks – is not in itself evidence of either fraud or “unorthodox” practices.
