ON PUBLIC CREDIT.
“ I mtfl con ft[s that übn / fee
“ princes and /laics quarrelling and
“fighting amidst their debts, funds
“ and ether mortgages, it brings to
“ n.y mind a match of the cudgel
“ playirg fought in a China jbop.”
Hume’s Eflays, vul. 1, p. 38* .
There is, perhaps, no political
principle more generally received
by every party or ftdt of politi
cians in this as well as othtr
countries, than the one, that the
duration of a state, its power and
relpeftabtlny depend materially
or wholly upon its extent of
credit . The power of obtaining
frequent and large supplies of
money, i* regarded as the vital
print:- ic of the exigence of a na
tion ; a> a Barometer by which
to m.eafure the degree of its
profperry < r the dage of its de
cline. Whether or not this is a
coircct o t n on, a mere novice
in the fcknre of government
may determine. I propole in
this tilry to give a compendious
and courequendy imperfedt view
of the lyftcm of public credit
generally.
The admirers of this f) (lent,
in che excels o‘ their corruption
or in the b.n.dnefs of ihe’r lg
ncrante, have extended their
adniii a.ion and lupport even to
its doul.s. Not content with
ho* ring up to View its rr>oit
iplendid fca.ures, they have e
ven cl. tended it in its v/orlt and
liiutt odious tendencies, and
■narniamed that “ national debt
s a rational bltffing.’’ This
maxim, which na the legiti
mate arid calling oflfopr ng us
corruj.tion, ipraug up undrr the
aulj.icc-s ot dclpoulm and was
nuried bv its step-mother, ftock
jjbbir.g idiocy. ‘lTiat state cf
unnatuti.l andconvulfivc vigour,
that Unce of ostentatious but
tot'ering credit, which immedi
ately precedes national bank
ruptcy, has been artfully held
up to view a& the infallible to
ken of political heal h, and the
full maturity of p-üblic credit.
As well might the designing cm.
j pvric atteir.pt to perluad* the
j dilconlolatc rcl itives of his con
jlu rptive patients, that the co.n
vubive ftruggleii*f approaching
filolucion, the 1 ft a.mn’es u
death ltlclf, are me efforts of in
creal'ng strength, tne unerring
tlgns of speedy recovery. Ihe
delusion r.uft vanish Jooner or
later, and the hideous monster,
! public ci edit, will be seen m its
uaiive deformitT. Ido not in
tend ifi tins pl4ce, to examine
the fyfte nos pubiic credit ai U
i exists in this or in that country,
>r as it is restrained by this or
-hat modificacioD. I will attend
only to the general principles on
which it relts; the abides to
which it is liable ; ir.i hofttle af
: peel to lreedom, and it* natural
tendency to national bankrupt
cy.
It is worthy of remark that
from the remotest ages of antl
quny to the preient rime, from
tne fi.ic ru lin en sot civil foci
y> to the prelent adyanced
Itage of civilizutio.i, the expedi
ents of hoarding up creatures
lor political or civil purposes,
and of borrowing !ara:e lums of
a oney to supply the wants of
government, have been adopted
in lome lhape or other. Ancient
hiltory will inform us that every
monarch, every petty sovereign
iofan inconfideiable Rate, every
small rej üblic, had its treaftire
to employ in tr.e prol'ccution of
oreign w.n s, and to carry on the
aliai.s of govermrieat. The an
cient rcpuohcs ot Gaul, arc laid
to have large sums of money a:
command. Philip and Perfius,
ancient kings cf Macedon had
coofiderabie trealurcs. Alexan
der is laid by an ancient hiltori
an to have found 50,000 talents
when he conquered bufa. The
Roman err.peroi J Augustus, Ti
lerius, Vclpafian and Srverus,
00k the fame wile precaution ot
hoarding up a treaiure. Bu:
mocrern p meeten ! hav
as civilization and rc'fi.iemenc ad
vanced, invented anew rnoile of
providing for the exigencies o f
government. The ftockjobbers
and political emnyrics of Eu
rope, have (tumbled upon the
plan of borr living large sums cf
money and providing for the
payment cf it by mortgage! ng the
revenue and bequeathing the
public debts as a valuable legacy
to poftericy. This plan which
so abundantly tcerr.s with iniqui
ty, his been kept up in many
countries by an unaccountable
ignorance and ddufion. Its
pernicious consequences are so
finguiarly confpicuoua that it is
indeed wonderful how they have
efcapcd the blindness of igno
rance itfelf. 1 will barely men
tion fome of theft obvious evils-
First : 1 objefl to the lyfiem
of public credit, because it is ra
dically unjuit and pernieious.
In the common affairs of nieti
as well as of .nation*, it would
fee n but reafoitvble that that
man or that people ivho have
burrowed large sums of lTroey
for the purpose of supplying
their own wants, fhoul J refund
this money when it becomes
due. The fyfte.n of credit,
however, is bottomed on the 1-
dea that pelterity arc hound to
difeharge the debt* of their an
cestors } it is, fays Mr. Paine,
a fykem of anticipation.” The
generation who borrowed ai
hundred years ago, anticipates
th* rt/ourccs of thole who were
to come an hundred years alter.
adly. )t is boundleis m itsj
operation ; it places in tne hand* ;
of government a dangerous wea- j
pon which it fray wield with- j
out opposition. Had each ge-j 1
neration to pay the price of its!
own prodigality *nd to refund I
the fum* of money which icj
fquander* in foreign wars and j
conquelU, v/e lhouid noc pro- ;
babiy now fee all Europe one i
expanded theatre of war. Whilst ‘
the just regular and equal model
of taxation is purlued to annals 1
a revenue, the avarice, ambition
and axtorcion of rulers cannot be
gratified; they cannot indulge
themleivcs in the wild and pro
fields lchemes of lere-.gj,
coaqueft; they rruft invent
| fome new plan by which to de
prive induftrycl its reward and
lupply their immediate tieccffi

bed viled which wouid 100 icr
ur more effectually lead to end
ends, than the eftab uhruent of
public credit.
joly. A nation derivesan un
natural and prufpe
nty from the pradli- e ot con
tinually enercafing its debt. :
receives a premature kind or
vigor which must terminate in j
convu ; fions or in foreign war. |
The fu n* of money which arc;
obtained in this manner fre-j
quentiy give rife to nffenfivei
wars by affording the means or j
prosecuting them; Such fuo- ’
plies a-e not necelfarv in any in
itance for the lupport of a just
government or the defence of a
free people. A nation of free
men, content and happy under
cheir government, will defend ft
even in the moft adverse vicifti
codes ; they will contribute the
last portion of their property to
wards its lupport.
4th!?. The fyfte.n of public
credit leads inevitably to bank
ruptcy. “ The public, lays
Mr. Hume, is a debtor whom
no man can oblige to p.ty.”
Hence the funded deb: of every
nation that supports icicif on the
loaxen wings cf credit, goes on,
perpetually progrcfiing. Hence,

the operation of a lyitem, which
is prog re Hi ve and endlcfs in its
