That it the proposed paper it should continue to cir culate without any
depreciation is not essential to the existence of paper
currency. Witness the ease of Exchequer Bills and other Government
paper; but though the property of circulating without
depreciation may not be essential to the circulation of this annuity
note paper it will at any rate be highly conducive to it.

any further that the Government of whose premium it is the
vehicle is destructive proof; by any cause therefore that

add to the solvency of the Government by adding to it the profit
it would afford additional means would be afforded for the
reduction of the debt of Government.

paper, the interest only. In the end case the fund drawn upon is
the revenue of a single year or some small number of years: in the other
case the fund drawn upon is the revenue of 3.5 successive years.
