the_o poor_a man_n proposal_n to_o supply_v the_o mint_n and_o prevent_v counterfeit_v the_o coin_n when_o mend_v gentleman_n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o any_o proposal_n for_o supply_n that_o may_v be_v both_o effectual_a and_o expeditious_a will_v be_v very_o acceptable_a and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o deficiency_n of_o tax_n they_o shall_v be_v lay_v where_o man_n be_v able_a to_o pay_v they_o and_o i_o suppose_v not_o only_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o case_n but_o the_o grandeur_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v make_v that_o tax_n easy_a that_o have_v such_o property_n and_o far_o the_o address_n to_o some_o of_o the_o worthy_a member_n by_o their_o representative_n that_o they_o will_v raise_v their_o supply_n equal_o may_v embolden_v i_o to_o hint_n something_o of_o this_o nature_n for_o i_o humble_o conceive_v there_o can_v be_v no_o tax_n lay_v but_o will_v be_v in_o some_o case_n oppressive_a but_o what_o i_o be_o now_o about_o to_o offer_v if_o it_o be_v in_o any_o case_n hard_a it_o will_v most_o certain_o fall_v upon_o the_o rich_a and_o although_o these_o be_v the_o person_n that_o must_v make_v our_o law_n and_o raise_v the_o tax_n yet_o since_o they_o will_v have_v the_o word_n effectual_a put_v into_o their_o address_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o they_o will_v more_o than_o in_o word_n raise_v effectual_a supply_n which_o i_o humble_o conceive_v may_v in_o part_n be_v do_v by_o lay_v a_o tax_n upon_o all_o plate_n in_o this_o nation_n both_o in_o use_n and_o out_o of_o use_n and_o not_o only_o what_o be_v make_v but_o what_o shall_v be_v make_v for_o seven_o year_n to_o come_v or_o so_o long_a as_o the_o war_n shall_v continue_v now_o suppose_v there_o be_v but_o eight_o million_o worth_n of_o plate_n this_o at_o sixpence_n per_fw-mi ounce_n will_v raise_v 800000_o l._n but_o if_o it_o shall_v raise_v but_o 600000_o l._n and_o bring_v 2000000_o l._n of_o silver_n to_o be_v coin_v i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a necessary_a tax_n at_o this_o time_n and_o if_o you_o think_v fit_a to_o double_v the_o tax_n upon_o all_o plate_n use_v in_o public_a house_n and_o to_o lay_v a_o imposition_n upon_o all_o bullion_n to_o be_v export_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o resiner_n to_o pay_v for_o what_o they_o use_v it_o may_v add_v much_o to_o the_o sum_n that_o will_v be_v raise_v hereby_o the_o proposal_n above_o have_v be_v offer_v on_o the_o 19_o of_o december_n to_o a_o worthy_a member_n of_o this_o house_n and_o since_o hear_n of_o no_o more_o effectual_a mean_n than_o this_o i_o think_v good_a to_o make_v it_o more_o public_a by_o print_v of_o it_o with_o some_o addition_n to_o prevent_v the_o counterfeit_n our_o coin_n when_o mend_v the_o deficiency_n of_o our_o coin_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o notorious_a that_o i_o can_v but_o high_o approve_v of_o your_o resolve_v to_o restore_v it_o to_o its_o former_a value_n the_o method_n whereby_o this_o evil_n be_v bring_v upon_o we_o need_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v hint_v but_o if_o i_o can_v engage_v the_o goldsmith_n themselves_o and_o all_o the_o banker_n to_o watch_v against_o the_o counterfeit_n of_o it_o for_o the_o future_a i_o hope_v this_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n effectual_o to_o prevent_v the_o like_a mischief_n which_o if_o lay_n a_o penalty_n of_o forfeiture_n of_o estate_n and_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o next_o heir_n upon_o any_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a will_v not_o do_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o make_v of_o it_o penal_a for_o every_o person_n that_o shall_v vent_v it_o will_v make_v every_o one_o careful_a of_o who_o they_o receive_v their_o money_n and_o if_o bad_a they_o must_v either_o return_v it_o in_o such_o a_o time_n or_o else_o in_o such_o a_o time_n swear_v who_o they_o receive_v it_o of_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v oblige_v not_o only_o to_o make_v it_o good_a to_o the_o person_n that_o receive_v it_o and_o have_v it_o deface_v before_o the_o justice_n of_o peace_n but_o shall_v pay_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o justice_n to_o record_v it_o and_o every_o quarter_n session_n examine_v who_o be_v common_a venture_n of_o bad_a money_n and_o proceed_v against_o they_o according_o and_o if_o any_o person_n for_o the_o future_a shall_v presume_v to_o coin_v any_o bad_a money_n this_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v it_o sink_v in_o their_o hand_n or_o at_o least_o they_o will_v run_v more_o risk_n then_o the_o profit_n will_v countervail_v yea_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o corrupt_v the_o mint_n itself_o this_o will_v certain_o discover_v they_o i_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o answer_v such_o objection_n that_o may_v be_v raise_v and_o may_v say_v much_o more_o to_o recommend_v this_o but_o submit_v all_o to_o your_o wisdom_n
