A60872	Some thoughts of the interest of England Shewing first, how the nation may be eas'd of all manner of taxes at the small charge of two pence per pound, on the annual incom. Secondly, how to reduce all exchequer tallies (if there be ten millions of them) to a par with money, paying only two and a half per cent discount. Thirdly, save the nation all the interest the king now pays (which is about one million per annum) by a lover of commerce.	Lover of commerce.	1697 (1697)	Wing S4629; ESTC R214020	5,256	16

parliamentary_a fund_n and_o bring_v in_o above_o 12_o million_o of_o exchequer_n tally_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o space_n of_o one_o year_n at_o two_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n discount_n which_o tally_n be_v now_o discount_v at_o very_o great_a loss_n to_o the_o unspeakable_a prejudice_n of_o the_o king_n and_o subject_a and_o thereby_o sink_v the_o vast_a interest_n of_o about_o one_o million_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la which_o the_o king_n now_o pay_v and_o will_v then_o be_v discharge_v by_o the_o publick'_v give_v credit_n to_o the_o bank_n and_o branch_n this_o method_n will_v also_o enable_v they_o to_o lend_v the_o king_n on_o parliamentary_a fund_n 500000_o l._n per_fw-la month_n at_o three_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n interest_n and_o supply_v his_o majesty_n with_o ready_a money_n to_o pay_v the_o army_n and_o navy_n and_o purchase_v provision_n and_o store_n at_o the_o best_a hand_n which_o be_v now_o take_v up_o at_o extravagant_a rate_n as_o also_o enable_v the_o principal_a trading-man_n of_o the_o kingdom_n who_o most_o of_o they_o have_v considerable_a stock_n in_o tally_n to_o carry_v on_o their_o

respective_a trade_n with_o ready_a money_n which_o other_o who_o be_v the_o now_o master_n of_o ready_a money_n do_v not_o so_o well_o understand_v which_o be_v partly_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o great_a scarcity_n of_o money_n and_o want_n of_o trade_n we_o have_v feel_v these_o twenty_o month_n past_a and_o to_o reduce_v these_o tally_n to_o money_n by_o the_o say_a method_n must_v be_v a_o absolute_a addition_n to_o the_o specie_fw-la of_o the_o nation_n and_o make_v bank_n bill_n two_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n better_o than_o money_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o immunity_n from_o the_o foresay_a tax_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a this_o method_n must_v answer_v what_o be_v here_o propose_v bank_n note_n be_v good_a in_o all_o receipt_n and_o payment_n to_o and_o from_o the_o king_n and_o the_o two_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n or_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n lie_v on_o any_o person_n that_o take_v out_o money_n and_o one_o per_fw-la cent._n advantage_n for_o he_o that_o bring_v it_o in_o and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o demand_n upon_o the_o exchequer_n but_o the_o bank_n and_o branch_n to_o answer_v their_o discounted_a tally_n must_v needs_o bring_v the_o whole_a run_a cash_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o be_v compute_v at_o 6_o or_o 7_o million_o into_o the_o bank_n and_o branch_n of_o it_o and_o thereby_o enlarge_v the_o public_a credit_n 12_o million_o in_o one_o year_n and_o exceed_o advance_v trade_n and_o the_o king_n revenue_n pay_v the_o debt_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n accommodate_v the_o people_n in_o free_v they_o from_o other_o tax_n etc._n etc._n now_o to_o show_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o tax_n we_o will_v suppose_v a_o gent._n to_o have_v 500_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o that_o upon_o receipt_n of_o the_o same_o he_o pay_v this_o whole_a tax_n of_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n he_o will_v then_o pay_v twelve_o pound_n ten_o shilling_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o suppose_v the_o same_o person_n to_o pay_v the_o last_o year_n land-tax_a of_o four_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n he_o will_v then_o pay_v one_o hundred_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la so_o that_o the_o say_a tax_n of_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n here_o propose_v be_v but_o the_o one_o eight_o part_n of_o the_o land-tax_a which_o be_v whole_o take_v off_o and_o this_o of_o 6_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n lay_v on_o certain_o can_v be_v account_v any_o burden_n to_o the_o subject_a especial_o when_o a_o man_n of_o 500_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la do_v not_o spend_v or_o use_v above_o one_o three_o of_o his_o estate_n in_o sum_n under_o 5_o pound_n which_o will_v reduce_v this_o tax_n of_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n from_o 12_o l._n 10_o s._n to_o 4_o l._n 3_o s._n and_o 4_o d._n which_o be_v but_o the_o twenty_o four_o part_n of_o the_o say_v land-tax_a of_o 4_o s._n per_fw-la pound_n a_o trifle_n not_o to_o be_v regard_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o great_a accommodation_n this_o method_n bring_v with_o it_o for_o this_o tax_n may_v take_v all_o other_o tax_n off_o be_v continue_v for_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o year_n and_o i_o suppose_v 12_o year_n may_v answer_v all_o for_o allow_v this_o propose_a tax_n and_o the_o king_n profit_n in_o the_o bank_n to_o be_v but_o 50000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la this_o method_n will_v sink_v all_o the_o interest_n the_o king_n now_o pay_v in_o the_o space_n of_o one_o year_n and_o make_v every_o man_n master_n of_o his_o whole_a money_n that_o he_o have_v on_o any_o loan_n pay_v only_o two_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n discount_n and_o certain_o all_o these_o tally_n upon_o loan_n be_v reduce_v to_o money_n add_v many_o million_o to_o the_o specie_fw-la of_o the_o nation_n and_o much_o inlve_v trade_n and_o augment_v the_o price_n of_o land_n for_o the_o more_o money_n a_o nation_n have_v the_o more_o buy_v of_o land_n and_o i_o conceive_v advance_v of_o credit_n and_o make_v money_n less_o useful_a be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o increase_v specie_fw-la or_o coin_n of_o the_o nation_n some_o may_v object_v and_o say_v this_o tax_n of_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n will_v be_v hard_a upon_o trade_n which_o it_o can_v never_o be_v for_o all_o merchant_n and_o trading-man_n will_v accept_v of_o the_o credit_n of_o this_o bank_n and_o branch_n to_o avoid_v the_o tax_n of_o the_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n and_o they_o have_v no_o more_o occasion_n for_o sum_n under_o five_o pound_n than_o a_o gent._n have_v no_o other_o than_o to_o defray_v the_o petty_a expense_n of_o their_o pocket_n and_o family_n but_o it_o be_v true_a the_o manufacturer_n and_o mechanic_n and_o builder_n who_o want_v money_n in_o small_a sum_n every_o saturday-night_n must_v take_v money_n out_o of_o the_o bank_n or_o branch_n at_o two_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n but_o this_o can_v be_v call_v a_o tax_n of_o two_o and_o a_o half_a per_fw-la cent._n on_o they_o by_o reason_n all_o manufacturer_n and_o builder_n will_v not_o pay_v above_o one_o three_o of_o this_o tax_n because_o two_o three_o of_o it_o go_v in_o sum_n of_o five_o pound_n or_o upward_o for_o which_o they_o pay_v no_o tax_n but_o accept_v of_o bank_n bill_n from_o man_n to_o man_n to_o avoid_v the_o tax_n so_o on_o the_o whole_a matter_n this_o be_v but_o a_o easy_a tax_n and_o do_v not_o amount_v to_o above_o two_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n or_o 16_o s._n and_o 8_o d._n per_fw-la cent._n which_o can_v never_o hurt_v trade_n for_o it_o will_v in_o the_o first_o place_n increase_v their_o several_a trade_n by_o the_o
