Paper Mischief

Connection with the topics grievances of the day will sometimes
procure for a topic political inconvenience of a permanent nature
a degree of public attention which its intrinsic and
permanent importance, how real soever would not
have been sufficient to exist. The Among the
instances in proof of the truth this position of this observation
the case of paper money may be mentioned as
one. The case of paper money may be mentioned
as an example.

To me it presents itself It may be mentioned as the principal of the
permanent causes of that rise of prices which
now that the amount happens to have been
swelled by causes of a temporary and accidental
nature causes has made up that accumulation of
grievance inconvenience which is the become the cause of
suffering and subject of complaint and lamentation
to all classes.

To the opposite opp opinion I can not
consistently annex any very considerable degree of
contempt: since till within these few weeks months it was
my own that to which I felt myself most inclined, so far as a man could be said to
entertain an opinion on a point to which he had
never had occasion to apply the powers of his mind.

Much Still less can I attach any moral blame
on my own to the exercise that commercial practice of that profession from
which the mischief if or such it really be, results flows
as from its immediate and indisputable undisputed efficient
cause.
