Description:
27/12/1811. James Monroe The first Census was conducted in 1790, and marshals of the U.S. judicial districts were responsible for the gathering of the Census data for each family in each district. A summary was then transmitted to the President through the Department of State. The second census was conducted in the same way.At that time, the U.S. had no formal means to measure the growth or decline of its manufacturing sectors, though these were an increasingly important part of its economy. An act of May 1, 1810 sought to address this problem by giving the federal government authority to collect more information on the size of the states’ economies. It required that marshals not only transmit to the Secretary of State the general population data, but also that they convey to the Secretary of the Treasury “an account of the several manufacturing establishments and manufactures within their several districts, territories, and divisions.” The results of the 1810 census, a combination of the… Read More

20/01/1831. Daniel Webster But Sen. Daniel Webster, a Friend of the Bank, Advises the Bank There Was No Easy Way to Avoid a Senate Request for Its Books and Records “He has a right to summon you,” writes Webster, “and perhaps also would have a right to what are called a ducus tecum - that is an order to bring in the books, if he should show the necessity… for the parties of proving what they contain…”John Tyler was a foe of the Bank of the United States, and as president would veto two bills to reestablish the Bank. From 1827-1836, he was a U.S. Senator. He was an ally of President Andrew Jackson, who in 1832 would veto a bill to recharter the Bank.In 1831, Samuel Frothingham was the Cashier of the Bank of the United States. Tyler looked to cause as much trouble for the Bank as he could, and asked Frothingham for Bank records, likely a fishing expedition to find records that might indicate some impropriety or carelessness on the part of the Bank. Frothingham asked Sen. Daniel… Read More

It was here that he developed the poetic voice which later won him the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times, and world fame as one of America’s foremost poets.

Description:
09/04/1838. Daniel Webster A fascinating letter and assessment of the great issue of the dayUnder a system of specie payments, it is required by law or custom that money in the form of bank notes or government paper money issues, be redeemed at par and upon request of the issuing bank or the Treasury in metallic coin. And that meant gold or silver. The temporary suspension of specie payments was a general feature of 19th century specie standards. Banks would unilaterally refuse to redeem their outstanding notes in specie at the legal par, creating a dual monetary system-currency and deposits not interchangeable at a fixed rate. The years 1830–1837 saw solid economic development as well as feverish speculation in land in the U.S. This eventually led to the panic of 1837 and a nationwide suspension of specie payments.In 1837, President Van Buren’s primary concern was for the safety of government funds entrusted to state banks. When Congress reconvened, he was worried that opponents would demand new… Read More

After Edison began to develop his wax-cylinder phonograph in 1887, Gilliland and Keller set up a factory to manufacture them with Keller as the superintendent. Gilliland became general agent for the phonograph. Gilliland and Edison's personal attorney, John Tomlinson, then arranged a deal with Jesse Lippincott to purchase the rights to Edison's phonograph. In the meantime, Edison set up a separate factory for manufacturing phonographs next to his West Orange Lab. Believing that the side deal that Gilliland and Tomlinson negotiated with Lippincott for Gilliland's agency rights was done behind his back, Edison cut off all relations and sued… Read More
