Paper Mischief
The situation of a Country Banker leads him
to give into this of profit in any one
of three ways – 1. By supplying money
to affording to the farmers, manufacturers and
other persons concerned in the production of commodities
such pecuniary supplies as shall enable them to
keep back goods from market longer than is necessary
or had been customary, and by that means to
make to their own profit an undue enhancement
to the price paid by the consumer.
2. By enabling dealers to buy up commodities
each of them in larger proportion than he could have
done otherwise, and by that means when the quantity
of the commodity within a certain extent of
country space favours the project design, to combine together
in numbers rendered by their smallness susceptible
of such a combination, and by agreement with
one another impose an exorbitant price upon the
consumer.
3. By engaging on their own bottom in transactions
of the one sort of other, but more particularly
the last latter, which is the case to which the nature of their funds
is better adapted is best adapted than to the other.
