(a)Any restitution: for, as the money amount is added
to productive capital upon the redemption of the debt, so was
it taken from productive capital on the contracting motion
of the debt.
The capital created (it may here occurr) is
always more than the money borrowed; and atti
therefore, deducting from the capital created, the amount
of the money borrowed, the difference will be — not
restitution, but neat addition; so that, supposing
100 million borrowed at in 3 per Cents at 80,
and paid off at par, viz by payment of 200 million the restitution would be
effected by loan of the one hundred millions, and the other would be so much
neat addition, made to the mass of national capital,
by the war.
But, besides If this were correct
and full, it would follow that in point of wealth
productive capital, and thence of wealth in point of wealth as far as mere disbursement and receipt was were concerned,
the notion would be a gainer to this vast
amount instead of being a loser by the war:
and if the account even <gap>, of profit and loss
on other accounts, scores viz: pos loss by distinction and
captures suffered on the one hand - profit by insurance-money
and captures made on the other, the result would
(I have reason to think) be still more favourable.
