Paper Mischief

The rise of prices so generall universally felt
and complained of has for its causes its source in
a variety of causes some temporary, others permanent
– some affecting all vendible commodities
in general, some attaching in a particular
degree on certain species of vendible commodities
some of no obvious prominent and universally acknowledged
– others deep-seated and generally
unperceived.

It affects vendible commodities in general
– it affects in a particular and superior degree those particular
classes of vendible commodities which are comprized
under the denomination of provisions: and,
among provisions it affects, in a degree still
superior, those species of grain of which in proportion
to the poverty of the individual, constitute fill up the
larger share in the composition of his food and
maintenance.

What concerns is confined to Grain in general and Wheat
in particular is belongs not to the present purpose of the
present enquiry. What is felt The pressure so far
as confined to those articles the pressure is sufficiently
understood to be the result of the joint influence
of two causes: – the one occasional,
the unfavourableness of two successive the inclemency of the seasons:, the other habitual
a deficiency in the quantity of land employed
in the production of the article in question, regard
being had to the continually encreasing numbers of the mouths
that call for it.
