S.7. Rates of profit in pari materia Observations

On the subject of the above mentioned illustrative
rates of Profit, and, in the first place, in relation to
the three first, being those which are deduced from
American Experience.

In relation to these several Rates of Profit I
shall take the Liberty of bringing to view such
Observations whether tending to the diminution or to
the Increase of the Amount of my Claim, as
present a prospect of contributing any thing to the
elucidation of the subject: in regard to such, of which the
tendency is to diminish the Amount, looking out for
such as appear most likely to present themselves, and
subjoining to each Answer as the nature of
the Case appears to afford. —

I Against the Claimant, At the time in question
the wages of Labour at Philadelphia Year 1796
and New York, Years 1801 & 1802 respectively, were
higher than that London Ao 1793; also, on the
other hand, the price of Provisions less. Answer not
improbably. Without ever having made any
particular Enquiry as to this Matter I should
rather expect to find it so. But the difference, if
any, on which ever side it be, would not be out
of the reach of calculation, if it were thought worth
while.

II. For for the Claimant
1. In those instances, any such Assistance as that
which would have been afforded by the Claimants
Mechanical Interventions, is altogether out of the Case.
2. In those several Instances the management
in Chief was in the hands of a set of public
spirited Men, each of whom, having other
pursuits of the profit-seeking kind, for this is the case
