Mackworm and Co. and that of Farmer Green-

horn-The Funds shown to be no place, nor any
thing of a mystical nature-P. S. relates to Ar-
ticles upon the same subject published in other
papers, and especially to a Letter in the Morn-
ing Chronicle of the 6th instant, 280.

Letter HII. Danger of exciting popular dis-

contents against Country Paper-Money-makers--

Description of the National Debt-Progress of

the Debt-The different denominations of it of

no consequence-Cost of the Antijacobin War-

gister in 1303-Passage from a Government

Newspaper, describing Bank Notes as necessar
to the existence of the Government-the same
doctrine promulgated by Mr. Paine, in his Rights
of Man-How different is this from what the
world has been told-The subject of the Sinking-
fund resumed-no interest taken off in 1808-

Pamphlet, 355.

an increase of Trade-Abuse heaped on those

who wish the Bank to pay its Notes-Such

persons called rillers, and accused of wishing to

destroy the credit of old England-An inc.ease

of Promissory Notes a proof of an increase of

Debt-ive ways in which Bank Jotes get out

into circulation-Absurdity of supposing that an

spring of the Debt-The Bank was necessary in

order to pay the Interest of the Debt-Boldness
of Mr. Jackson, aud Sir J. Sinclair in asserting
that Paper-money is necessary to Trade and is

a

mine of National Prosperity-What would
Hume have said, if he had been told that Scot-
land would produce a man to assert what Sir J,
Sinclair has asserted-The "Lo here," and

Lo there"The real cause of the increase

of the Bank Notes-That increase shewn to have

kept pace with the increase of the Debt-Con-

clusion of this part of our subject, 481.

the regular line of the discussion-Death of

Abraham Goldsmid the great Jew Money-

dealer-Effect of it described as to the Funds-

nothing of Perilous state of the Country if
