Art. 17.
Art 17 |2|1[..Fee
..on purchase ... a primary—]
Shall any fee be made demandable of a purchaser
— Shall that fee the amount of that
fee be a penny as proposed — in a note of this
magnitude? Shall it be the same for all, magnitudes or vary
in any and what proportion according to the
magnitude? [Such are the questions which face that
present themselves.]
The objection — the only objective that occurs — is
the danger supposed — but (the constant wrong customers
there should be in every ill humour — and thence
an aversion to the commodity should be existed on
the part of the customer by the demand of any
such . The classes specially looked to as
likely to promote customers are in a very great proportion
the inferior and general classes, among whom in proportion to their ignorance are
and suspicion are apt to prevail, in
proportion to their ignorance.
The danger does not strike one as very formidable:
the arguments on the other side present
themselves as much more substantial.
The sort of person, if such there be, who being
content to give £02:16: for the note in question
would be driven repelled from the market by the
addition of a penny — that addition being imposed
for a known particular reason, and imposed at the
same time — does not seem likely to have many
imitators: if were it to be imposed without any
such reason, and more particularly — even if imposed
afterwards, the case might be somewhat in a small degree different:
it would be so in a much greater degree, if
the surcharge were made without notice given of it on the face of the Note itself.
