A33408	A discourse of the general notions of money, trade & exchanges, as they stand in relation to each other attempted by way of aphorism : with a letter to a minister of state, further explaining the aphorisms, and applying them to the present circumstances of this nation : wherein also some thoughts are suggested for the remedying the abuses of our money / by a merchant.	Clement, Simon.	1695 (1695)	Wing C4638; ESTC R38746	24,019	41

former_a value_n although_o i_o will_v confess_v that_o i_o think_v the_o system_v which_o he_o have_v frame_v for_o the_o effect_v the_o matter_n in_o that_o way_n to_o be_v the_o most_o complete_a that_o can_v be_v if_o it_o shall_v be_v think_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o proceed_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o our_o money_n and_o although_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o contravert_v this_o point_n with_o a_o person_n who_o ability_n i_o esteem_v so_o much_o beyond_o my_o own_o yet_o forasmuh_o as_o i_o expect_v this_o matter_n will_v become_v the_o serious_a debate_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o that_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o that_o worthy_a gentleman_n will_v ready_o acquiesce_v in_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v think_v most_o expedient_a for_o the_o public_a good_a i_o can_v think_v it_o will_v be_v any_o offence_n to_o he_o if_o i_o here_o add_v some_o reason_n why_o i_o continue_v to_o dissent_n from_o he_o in_o that_o notion_n first_o then_o i_o doubt_v it_o will_v not_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n prevent_v the_o carry_v out_o of_o our_o bullion_n or_o export_v our_o coin_n because_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v if_o our_o occasion_n shall_v continue_v to_o require_v more_o money_n abroad_o than_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o balance_n of_o our_o trade_n there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o supply_v it_o than_o by_o send_v the_o overplus_n in_o bullion_n and_o this_o must_v be_v have_v in_o the_o full_a quantity_n by_o weight_n which_o shall_v be_v want_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v advance_v the_o value_n of_o our_o money_n so_o as_o to_o make_v our_o present_a crown_n pass_v among_o ourselves_o for_o seven_o shilling_n six_o penny_n or_o more_o the_o price_n of_o our_o bullion_n will_v yet_o be_v somewhat_o high_o for_o i_o believe_v it_o may_v be_v admit_v for_o a_o certain_a rule_n that_o whensoever_o there_o be_v such_o a_o demand_n the_o price_n of_o bullion_n will_v always_o advance_v something_o above_o our_o coin_v money_n because_o of_o the_o penalty_n and_o hazard_n that_o attend_v the_o melt_a or_o transport_v the_o latter_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o hazard_n we_o see_v people_n be_v not_o to_o be_v deter_v from_o it_o when_o a_o considerable_a profit_n tempt_v they_o thereto_o by_o the_o price_n of_o bullion_n rise_v much_o above_o it_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o altogether_o as_o impossible_a to_o find_v out_o any_o regulation_n that_o can_v keep_v our_o silver_n either_o coin_v or_o uncoined_a at_o home_o whensoever_o our_o necessity_n abroad_o demand_v a_o great_a value_n than_o the_o produce_v of_o all_o our_o merchandise_n export_v can_v furnish_v as_o to_o take_v away_o the_o effect_n while_o the_o cause_n remain_v second_o i_o think_v that_o a_o advance_v of_o twenty_o five_o per_fw-la cent._n upon_o our_o money_n if_o it_o have_v any_o effect_n at_o all_o upon_o we_o must_v tend_v very_o much_o to_o the_o impoverishment_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o confirm_v which_o opinion_n two_o dilemma_n will_v offer_v themselves_o and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o they_o can_v be_v avoid_v for_o if_o the_o species_n of_o our_o coin_n be_v raise_v to_o pass_v for_o one_o four_o part_n more_o than_o former_o either_o the_o price_n of_o the_o product_n of_o our_o land_n and_o labour_n will_v rise_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n thereto_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v buy_v for_o one_o four_o part_n less_o than_o the_o due_a weight_n of_o our_o present_a coin_n now_o if_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o our_o product_n will_v rise_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n than_o this_o alteration_n will_v conduce_v nothing_o either_o to_o the_o multiply_v of_o the_o currant_n cash_n necessary_a for_o the_o circulation_n of_o our_o trade_n because_o every_o man_n will_v have_v need_n of_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o silver_n and_o gold_n in_o weight_n as_o before_o or_o to_o the_o give_v any_o encouragement_n for_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o silver_n from_o abroad_o because_o it_o will_v real_o buy_v no_o more_o of_o our_o good_n to_o transport_v than_o it_o do_v before_o so_o that_o thus_o the_o difference_n will_v be_v nothing_o more_o to_o we_o than_o in_o the_o computation_n and_o will_v only_o appear_v in_o the_o swell_a of_o the_o figure_n of_o our_o account_n but_o if_o this_o alteration_n shall_v obtain_v to_o cause_o the_o product_n of_o our_o land_n and_o labour_n to_o be_v sell_v for_o the_o same_o computation_n of_o pound_n shilling_n and_o penny_n as_o now_o although_o the_o coin_n will_v be_v one_o quarter_v part_n less_o in_o weight_n it_o must_v consequent_o have_v a_o very_a fatal_a influence_n upon_o the_o trade_n from_o whence_o we_o draw_v all_o our_o wealth_n for_o to_o instance_n in_o the_o trade_n of_o spain_n because_o that_o be_v as_o the_o fountain_n of_o silver_n and_o gold_n to_o all_o europe_n when_o the_o merchant_n shall_v come_v to_o find_v that_o his_o bullion_n import_v thence_o will_v purchase_v in_o england_n one_o quarter_n part_n of_o our_o commodity_n more_o than_o former_o the_o encouragement_n by_o this_o extravagant_a profit_n will_v be_v so_o great_a that_o not_o only_o our_o own_o but_o foreign_a merchant_n also_o will_v present_o be_v at_o it_o and_o bring_v all_o their_o bullion_n hither_o to_o lay_v out_o in_o our_o english_a good_n and_o this_o will_v certain_o be_v a_o brave_a trade_n and_o will_v seem_v to_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o draw_v in_o silver_n and_o gold_n to_o we_o for_o a_o while_n but_o what_o will_v follow_v why_o in_o a_o few_o month_n time_n the_o multitude_n of_o seeker_n after_o this_o profitable_a trade_n will_v have_v crowd_v the_o spanish_a market_n with_o such_o glut_v of_o our_o good_n that_o they_o will_v present_o find_v out_o the_o blind_a side_n and_o will_v infallible_o take_v occasion_n by_o the_o over-plenty_n of_o good_n at_o market_n to_o beat_v down_o the_o price_n even_o low_o than_o the_o twenty_o five_o per_fw-la cent._n which_o he_o hope_v he_o have_v gain_v by_o the_o lay_v out_o his_o money_n in_o england_n neither_o will_v they_o ever_o rife_o again_o high_o than_o just_a to_o afford_v such_o a_o profit_n pro_fw-la rato_fw-la to_o the_o money_n which_o use_v to_o content_v the_o merchant_n when_o he_o former_o keep_v jog_v on_o in_o his_o spanish_a trade_n so_o here_o our_o violent_a start_n will_v last_v but_o a_o little_a while_n and_o ever_o after_o we_o must_v not_o expect_v that_o the_o product_n of_o our_o nation_n will_v afford_v we_o in_o foreign_a country_n any_o more_o than_o three_o quarter_n part_n of_o the_o value_n it_o yield_v before_o this_o alteration_n but_o the_o mischief_n will_v not_o end_v here_o for_o foreigner_n will_v not_o be_v hereby_o persuade_v to_o part_v with_o what_o we_o want_v of_o their_o product_n for_o less_o weight_n of_o bullion_n than_o they_o use_v to_o have_v before_o so_o that_o if_o we_o former_o can_v afford_v to_o consume_v among_o ourselves_o above_o three_o quarter_n part_n of_o the_o produce_v of_o our_o foreign_a export_n which_o i_o doubt_v we_o do_v and_o yet_o be_v good_a gainer_n by_o our_o trade_n too_o we_o shall_v then_o come_v to_o spend_v more_o than_o our_o income_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o impoverish_v we_o quick_o unless_o we_o alter_v our_o course_n of_o live_v which_o a_o nation_n that_o have_v long_o be_v use_v to_o such_o plenty_n be_v not_o apt_a to_o be_v bring_v to_o let_v we_o see_v then_o how_o this_o will_v operate_v among_o we_o at_o home_o the_o labourer_n and_o manufacturer_n must_v come_v to_o take_v less_o weight_n of_o silver_n for_o their_o wage_n and_o yet_o must_v continue_v to_o pay_v the_o same_o weight_n as_o former_o for_o what_o foreign_a commodity_n they_o spend_v whereby_o they_o will_v be_v reduce_v to_o a_o necessity_n of_o fare_v hard_o and_o spend_v less_o in_o provision_n which_o must_v cause_v the_o product_n and_o consequent_o the_o rent_n of_o our_o land_n to_o fall_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n the_o gentleman_n then_o who_o live_v upon_o the_o rent_n of_o his_o land_n must_v expect_v they_o will_v fall_v one_o four_o part_n in_o their_o yearly_a value_n and_o yet_o he_o must_v give_v at_o least_o twenty_o five_o per_fw-mi cent_z more_o for_o all_o the_o foreign_a commodity_n he_o spend_v which_o to_o person_n of_o that_o rank_n may_v modest_o be_v compute_v to_o affect_v they_o ten_o per_fw-la cent._n more_o so_o that_o hereby_o they_o will_v be_v reduce_v above_o one_o three_o part_n of_o their_o subsistance_n but_o what_o be_v yet_o worse_o there_o will_v be_v a_o stop_v put_v to_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o riches_n
