A88925	The Case of the coin fairly represented		1697 (1697)	Wing M10; ESTC R42471	3,329	4

the_o case_n of_o the_o coin_n fair_o represent_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o some_o quaeres_fw-la conduce_v to_o the_o find_v out_o whither_o the_o trade_n of_o ireland_n be_v affect_v or_o not_o by_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o rate_n of_o coin_n there_o and_o consequent_o whither_o the_o say_a advancement_n of_o the_o rate_n of_o coin_n there_o occasion_v as_o be_v allege_v more_o money_n be_v pour_v into_o that_o country_n to_o its_o advantage_n than_o will_v otherwise_o have_v be_v carry_v thither_o first_o quaere_fw-la since_o change_n for_o guineas_n use_v to_o be_v easy_o and_o ready_o have_v in_o ireland_n and_o now_o but_o with_o great_a difficulty_n be_v it_o not_o manifest_a that_o there_o be_v at_o present_v less_o silver_n proportionable_o to_o gold_n than_o be_v former_o in_o that_o kingdom_n second_o quaere_fw-la do_v not_o this_o proceed_v from_o guineas_n be_v raise_v more_o as_o to_o the_o rate_n they_o pass_v at_o than_o the_o silver_n coin_n be_v raise_v at_o there_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a for_o instance_n that_o guineas_n be_v raise_v so_o as_o to_o pass_v for_o 5_o d._n and_o one_o 3_o d_o part_n of_o a_o penny_n more_o each_o than_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v proportionable_o to_o what_o ducatoon_n be_v raise_v to_o pass_v at_o three_o quaere_fw-la can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o ireland_n gain_v by_o have_v guineas_n bring_v into_o that_o kingdom_n therewith_o to_o purchase_v or_o exchange_n for_o silver_n in_o lieu_n thereof_o upon_o such_o unequal_a term_n and_o if_o the_o consequence_n hereof_o can_v be_v deny_v why_o then_o may_v not_o other_o commodity_n ireland_n afford_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v carry_v out_o upon_o the_o like_a disadvantage_n to_o it_o let_v no_o body_n cavil_v at_o my_o call_a silver_n coin_v a_o commodity_n for_o money_n pass_v in_o ireland_n by_o weight_n and_o that_o weight_n for_o more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o its_o fineness_n viz._n plate_n or_o peru_n be_v not_o it_o plain_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o bullion_n and_o be_v not_o bullion_n allow_v to_o be_v a_o merchandise_n four_o quaere_fw-la do_v it_o appear_v by_o the_o course_n of_o exchange_n in_o the_o return_v of_o money_n to_o or_o out_o of_o ireland_n that_o merchant_n be_v so_o rash_a and_o indiscreet_a in_o their_o business_n as_o to_o govern_v themselves_o by_o no_o thing_n more_o solid_a than_o the_o vulgar_a opinion_n and_o consequent_o be_v it_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o any_o of_o they_o be_v tempt_v by_o the_o mere_a empty_a great_a sound_n than_o former_o which_o our_o piece_n of_o money_n make_v in_o the_o people_n name_v of_o they_o to_o bring_v any_o species_n of_o money_n whatsoever_o into_o this_o kingdom_n upon_o the_o prospect_n of_o buy_v real_o great_a pennyworth_n therewith_o instead_o of_o their_o previous_o compute_v what_o increase_n of_o guineas_n pistole_n english-crown_n or_o cobbs_n the_o produce_v of_o what_o they_o lie_v out_o in_o those_o or_o any_o other_o species_n of_o money_n will_v bring_v they_o in_o when_o they_o vend_v the_o return_n for_o their_o money_n in_o irish_a commodity_n elsewhere_o five_o quaere_fw-la what_o other_o way_n be_v there_o of_o get_v money_n into_o a_o country_n but_o by_o the_o balance_n of_o trade_n if_o none_o then_o if_o neither_o the_o merchant_n over-reache_n himself_o nor_o the_o handy-crafts-man_n or_o countryman_n be_v buble_v by_o he_o on_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o rate_n of_o coin_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o good_n will_v have_v be_v carry_v out_o of_o ireland_n and_o the_o same_o proportion_n of_o money_n bring_v in_o to_o pay_v for_o they_o for_o instance_n the_o same_o number_n of_o guineas_n whither_o guineas_n have_v be_v compute_v betwixt_o they_o either_o after_o the_o rate_n of_o 23_o or_o 26_o s._n per_fw-la piece_n to_o explain_v this_o by_o a_o example_n let_v it_o be_v suppose_v that_o a_o merchant_n just_a after_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o rate_n of_o coin_n in_o ireland_n carry_v thither_o to_o the_o value_n of_o 300_o l._n in_o guineas_n to_o buy_v beef_n hides_n tallow_n butter_n cheese_n wool_n or_o any_o other_o good_n or_o manufacture_n of_o the_o country_n now_o if_o beef_n and_o the_o other_o commodity_n do_v still_o keep_v to_o the_o price_n they_o be_v at_o just_a before_o according_a to_o tale_n of_o pound_n shilling_n and_o penny_n have_v not_o ireland_n buy_v that_o gold_n too_o dear_a since_o it_o have_v lose_v 30_o guineas_n that_o be_v to_o the_o value_n of_o 39_o l._n in_o the_o say_v 300_o l._n there_o be_v so_o many_o less_o guineas_n require_v now_o to_o make_v up_o 300_o l._n than_o be_v before_o the_o advancement_n thereof_o for_o now_o 230_o guineas_n will_v go_v as_o far_o in_o tale_n of_o pound_n as_o 260_o guineas_n do_v before_o but_o if_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v suppose_v that_o every_o thing_n in_o ireland_n be_v rise_v in_o price_n proportionable_o to_o the_o advancement_n of_o money_n why_o then_o you_o must_v suppose_v the_o say_a merchant_n a_o very_a inconsiderate_a person_n for_o carry_v or_o send_v over_o his_o 300_o l._n venture_v thither_o without_o previous_o inform_v himself_o what_o consequence_n the_o advancement_n of_o money_n have_v as_o to_o the_o purchase_n what_o he_o intend_v to_o deal_v in_o and_o there_o be_v not_o many_o if_o any_o such_o merchant_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o but_o if_o he_o advise_o still_o think_v it_o worth_a his_o while_n to_o buy_v there_o what_o he_o want_v to_o sell_v elsewhere_o though_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v not_o get_v any_o more_o of_o any_o good_n ireland_n afford_v for_o his_o 300_o l._n than_o he_o can_v have_v do_v before_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o rate_n of_o coin_n why_o then_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o ireland_n will_v howsoever_o have_v have_v his_o money_n though_o guineas_n have_v continue_v go_v for_o 23_o shilling_n each_o neither_o can_v it_o possible_o be_v any_o other_o way_n that_o we_o be_v become_v thus_o competent_o stock_v with_o the_o run_a cash_n now_o current_a among_o we_o unless_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n can_v buy_v and_o sell_v to_o disadvantage_n anh_o yet_o thrive_v on_o their_o loss_n a_o speech_n make_v by_o the_o author_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n in_o the_o committee_n of_o the_o whole_a house_n of_o commons_o when_o it_o sit_v on_o way_n and_o mean_n

a_o member_n of_o our_o house_n concern_v in_o the_o coin_n of_o halfpence_n have_v to_o a_o tittle_n perform_v what_o he_o be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o patent_n he_o hold_v under_o yet_o this_o honourable_a house_n be_v but_o other_o day_n of_o opinion_n that_o this_o kingdom_n suffer_v by_o the_o disproportion_n there_o be_v betwixt_o the_o intrinsic_a value_n of_o the_o say_a halfpence_n and_o what_o they_o actual_o pass_v for_o though_o they_o be_v in_o effect_n but_o give_v out_o as_o ticket_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o change_n and_o pray_v sir_n must_v not_o the_o same_o weighty_a reason_n hold_v proportionable_o good_a in_o a_o great_a degree_n as_o to_o our_o gold_n and_o silver_n coin_n in_o which_o strict_o speak_v consist_v the_o real_a riches_n of_o all_o country_n it_o be_v then_o sir_n worth_a our_o consider_v whether_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o several_a piece_n of_o money_n in_o ireland_n though_o intend_v for_o our_o good_a carry_v not_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n the_o same_o consequence_n with_o it_o as_o the_o late_a clip_v the_o current_a coin_n of_o england_n do_v in_o that_o kingdom_n for_o it_o be_v obvious_a that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o weight_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o under_o the_o usual_a denomination_n of_o guineas_n ducatoon_n and_o cobbs_n which_o pass_v at_o this_o time_n for_o more_o pound_n shilling_n and_o penny_n than_o former_o and_o consequent_o this_o be_v apparent_o but_o a_o nominal_a and_o not_o a_o real_a difference_n this_o fallacy_n be_v not_o indeed_o very_o evident_a by_o our_o home_n trade_n because_o every_o body_n in_o ireland_n unperceived_o to_o each_o other_o raises_z the_o price_n of_o what_o he_o deal_v in_o proportionable_o to_o the_o valuation_n of_o the_o coin_n and_o in_o so_o do_v they_o be_v all_o as_o much_o even_o with_o one_o another_o as_o they_o ever_o be_v before_o for_o they_o all_o buy_v and_o sell_v to_o one_o another_o by_o the_o same_o standard_n be_v it_o more_o or_o less_o garnish_v by_o the_o advance_v rate_n of_o the_o coin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o same_o gold_n or_o silver_n counter_a be_v allow_v by_o all_o of_o they_o to_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n of_o reckon_a at_o present_a for_o more_o penny_n than_o former_o but_o when_o the_o merchant_n have_v occasion_n for_o foreign_a commodity_n he_o find_v that_o no_o regard_n will_v be_v have_v beyond_o sea_n to_o our_o imaginary_a split_v the_o several_a piece_n of_o money_n into_o a_o mere_a notional_a increase_n of_o penny_n the_o foreigner_n will_v not_o be_v so_o bubled_a out_o of_o their_o merchandise_n and_o unless_o some_o other_o accident_n have_v alter_v the_o price_n thereof_o our_o merchant_n will_v have_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o but_o the_o very_a same_o commodity_n as_o to_o quantity_n and_o goodness_n for_o the_o same_o piece_n of_o money_n as_o he_o have_v before_o the_o advancement_n thereof_o because_o it_o carry_v the_o same_o weight_n and_o fineness_n with_o it_o which_o be_v its_o real_a intrinsical_a value_n in_o short_a sir_n the_o landlord_n be_v the_o person_n chief_o impose_v upon_o by_o this_o nick-naming_a of_o the_o money_n he_o receive_v his_o rent_n in_o for_o when_o he_o come_v to_o let_v his_o estate_n after_o the_o reduction_n of_o this_o kingdom_n his_o tenant_n take_v their_o farm_n with_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o desolate_a condition_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o undoubted_o the_o tenant_n who_o then_o covenant_v with_o his_o landlord_n to_o pay_v he_o for_o example_n 11_o l._n 10_o s._n 0_o d._n for_o a_o farm_n do_v then_o secure_a to_o himself_o a_o good_a bargain_n even_o according_a to_o the_o old_a rate_n the_o money_n go_v at_o and_o then_o suppose_v to_o continue_v so_o still_o by_o both_o party_n though_o a_o unforeseen_a act_n of_o state_n have_v since_o that_o occasion_v the_o tennant_n have_v a_o better_a bargain_n by_o 30_o s._n a_o year_n in_o 11_o l._n 10_o s._n 0_o d._n than_o he_o ever_o think_v of_o before_o for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o tenant_n do_v not_o at_o the_o take_n of_o his_o lease_n expect_v to_o pay_v his_o landlord_n the_o 11_o l._n 10_o s._n 0_o d._n he_o contract_v for_o with_o less_o than_o 10_o guineas_n but_o now_o he_o will_v tell_v he_o that_o 10_o guineas_n make_v 13_o l._n which_o be_v 30_o s._n more_o than_o his_o rent_n and_o so_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o authority_n he_o take_v 30_o s._n out_o of_o his_o land-lord_n pocket_n and_o put_v it_o into_o his_o own_o upon_o the_o whole_a sir_n i_o must_v conclude_v that_o if_o
