Paper Mischief

To this I answer

1. Although it were an inseparable result of
an encrease of wealth of the aggregate mass of
wealth it would not follow that it might not be
an evil. Wealth is but a means: comfort is
the end: Pain but a loss of comfort, the all encrease
in wealth, be it what it may, loses all its value.
Follow it up, apply it to the several classes of
parties interested, in point of comfort which
we shall find it productive of an indisputable loss.

Three such classes may be distinguished.

1. The first is composed of those whose incomes are
commonly called fixed – more aptly unencreasable unaugmentable.

2. The first second is composed of those whose incomes
are not in their nature unencreasable, but in
point of fact do not receive an encrease in
quantity of money proportionable or more than proportionable to the decrease in the marketable
value of it.

3. The third is composed of those who whether as
proprietors of the supposed extra influx of money
or on any other account do receive by the means
of it an encrease in money more than proportionable
to the rise of prices – to the decrease in the
marketable value of it as above.
