Remedies proposed to the depretiation
Navy Bills
Upon the whole, comparing what the state of the

The avoiding of this loss, the gaining obtaining of
this advantage so far as it may prove attainable
would surely be worth not an object not altogether
unworthy the trouble of consideration or evem the hazard of

that would otherwise be issued in the shape of Navy Bills.]

great proportional glut of Exchequer Bills: a glut which it may
be apprehended may reduce the price produce a depretiation
as great as or still greater than that at present existing
in upon the instance of Navy Bills. But if the money
