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.

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, generation after generarion pas- Ls off the stage of txifteoce, without paying (he intcreft, much less the {.nncipal, of th< ir debt.
