Thirty-sixth Legislature. Senate. No. 6. Report of the Bank Commissioners on the subject of free banking made to the Thirty-first Legislature in
compliance with an order passed on August 28, 1849. The report was submitted on January 16, 1852. [Provided for the Thirty-sixth Legislature as a
reprint.] The men ran through the history of currency circulation in the United States. Maine had to back up one third of its circulating currency in
specie. There was no national bank to help control fluctuations, so that made life difficult. They described the New York experience as a cautionary
tale of free banking; they did not want to see Maine follow that path. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Library of
Congress).
