Political Prospects
Bankruptcy
Probability
Once Peace ended and the mass of wealth applicable
to the purpose Redemption Plan of redemption could not fact of reviving a
very considerable recession: if the National Income composed
principally of taxes on consumption equals answers the demands
upon it in time of war, it must more
than answer them in time of peace. Some conjecture,
if it were worthwhile might be made concerning of the probable
amount of differences as between Peace and War this increase by the observation of former
differences. But after the most powerful laborious searching examination, uncertainty
would still be the result: and the possibility of
steering clear of the rock of Bankruptcy by the operation of
measures preventive measures taken so late in the day,
can not as but appear other than precarious.
All depends upon the Directory of France, which a
bunch of tyrants to have to the manners of which there seems to be no
certain/add> bounds may move them to its malice. Its credit annihilated,
its taxes unproductive, it seems to have learned the art of
manufacturing itself upon nothing. Having everything to dread
and nothing to hope from peace, war without end seems to
be their object and their wish. Habituated to the view
<note>Bankruptcy in
this country
appears presents
itself probably
to these
as the first
scene of a state
of uproar
and misery like
their own. and
even it but a
scratch, there is
no wound <add>by the which

they would not

of inflicting it.</note>
of misery and of misery of their own production, there is
no misery which they would not inflict on their own subjects
for the satisfaction of giving on the slightest kings.
