Truth from such a source, can not reasonably be expected
to come pure. The mischief apprehended as stated consists — not
in the transportation of capital in general from a station
station to a yearly foreign and widely distant one — from a station
of greater security to a station of less security — but from the its
transporting being transported it in the particular shape of bullion: that is
in the shape of that particular species of it which in general
is but suited to the purpose of transportation — goes furthest
in purchases when transported in general — in the commercial world takens together but more particularly
there: as if the plenty quantity of wealth in all other shapes
depended upon the quantity of wealth which the earth happened <add>land and labour of the earth</add>
to have furnished in that particular shape; with the labour bestowed upon them happened in which it is best
adapted for passing from hand to hand in exchange for
wealth in other shapes: as if the relative value the
value in the way of exchange of this species of wealth
were neither had never either been increased by its relative scarcity, or decreased
by its relative abundance.
[+] [+] Such is the supposition necessarily involved in the observation: a supposition made according to custom — according to almost universal custom, but in the very teeth of reason, experience, and Adam Smith.
