three per cent will be better than nothing: three
per cent, even at times when not only 5 per
the almost legal interest, but 5 1/2 or 6 per
cent may be had by dealing with Government:
- so much better than nothing & that in this point
of view the question recurrs already — and recurrs in considerable force — why so much as
3 per cent? — why not rather 2 per cent?
But of this presently.
If it were higher than three per cent, so
much as it arose above that much, by so much
would the profit to Government by the issue of
it be reduced. Not indeed, of the additional
quantity disposed if in that supposition were to
be so great as to make up br for the diminution
in the rate of profit: ++ in which supposition the advance change in the rate would be beneficial to the public upon the whole, and that in a very high degree, in respect of the accommodation by individual (the amount of which it will be more particularly stated further on) whi the accommodation to individuals - an advantage which by the supposition would be all of it clear gain. but that any such
addition would take place does not appear probable.
So many persons as in respect of their money
matters are circumstanced in either of the above these ways
will for the reason above mentioned be glad to deal
even upon these terms: and from any such an
addition as could be made to the rate of interest
it does not appear that the number of persons
so circumstanced could be made to receive any
considerable increase.
