Paper Mischief

In the course of my enquiry into the truth of this supposition
I shall exhibit the reasons that present
themselves for thinking
1. That a different cause is the true cause of
the addition to the mass of wealth
2. That the cause in question contributes little
or nothing to the same effect – and
3. Supposing the error be exact, – supposing
the opinion to be entertained – and supposing
it to be erroneous, I shall endeavour to point out
to what source it is to be ascribed.

Meantime before I speak of that which is the true cause
efficient cause and measure of wealth every encrease in the quantity non-pecuniary wealth
I can not indicating a source of illusion by
which untill the illusion be dissipated or at least
a clue given to the deception any statement
that might be made for the purpose of pointing
out the true cause and measure and progress
would be remain exposed to suspicion, and be rejected as
theoretical and fanciful.

Money is the instrument from the operation
of which every addition that is made to the
mass of non-pecuniary wealth is seen manifestly to
flow. The cause effect being (according to the familiar
but obscure and frequently questionable maxim)
proportionable to the effect cause, hence the more money
the more greater the quantity of other kinds of
wealth. No wealth that is not produced by labour,
no
