TT is impossible at present to converse much with oar
neighbours, or traofaft any bnfinefi without becoming
fen Able of the incredible scarcity of money. Oar merchant*
hare imported largely for fome yean pat, and wereenebled
to make large, though at best tad in general not punctual
rentittaaces, not with Banding the advantages of an unbar*
denied trade,- the reimburse meats of the crown to the diffe
rent colonies, and the cash aad bills which the army natural
ly circulated among ns. Tbefe foerces are nowobltfuaed,
and we already begin total the bitter etfe&rof too ualimit
ed a credit from the Britlih merchants, which has drawn us
into the confamption of European aad India commodities,
Which has been tin prudent, because beyond oar present abi
lities to will henceforward be uajuft if continue
ed. The colonies are fuppofcd haw contracted a debt of
Eight millions ftc/Hng to Great*Britain by fome, perhaps
die mod mithentick and recent Calculation is BiXs millions,
while all the Currency of all the colorties falls valUy (hort of
thar enormons fern. Two millions is the mod. - How then
(halt weextricHe>rfclv*sJ OydMgn trade labours, by
which we have been enabled to support ootfelves, while we
extended the dominipns of the ben of Kings over half me
globe, enriched his metropolis, fapported his aunufaftariet,
nude his merchants as pnnees, multiplied his fubjcAs, and
dismayed hit enemies; and oar trade with each other does
little more than change the property, besides leaving (bme
thing in the coffers of oar fovertijjn. In thir plunge of trade
we All be bohe(!{ and as dor orders were enormous, while
we saw the foarces open through which wc obtained where
with to make remittances; and when it was fafe to vend our
goods, though’ &e profits ft* fevetal years were fmall.* The
number of ourlfcm mud be lpffened, those of oar Merchants
who are free of incumbrance retiriifg to tbeir dow more
hofpittble spots in the woods, and felicitating themfeives irt
a return to -tbe pristine fimplicityandipneccnpf of spiral
Kfe!Tln the mein time we mad frU<*t
the Brkifh creditors, and assure them, that though an annual
oaymCnt of tcoool. fterling,f the ■intertfti.of ,wha|. we owf
them, would oLiefel/ effWlailly drwauactf fpede, though
we (hould inceor no further debts, that wewiUinot detain a
finale farthing in our hands after the king's customs, the
damp duties* to lee. shall be paid. And fofther, the? by
every fydem internal 4mrrU** OMp, we will snaaa
vour to rid us of this foreign tribute, ( And happy may we
think oorfelves* my diflreflcd fellow Americana, if theft gen
tlemen will content themfeives with receiving the, annual
drippingsof pur difcooMged'labours. • But what may be the
issue of further exactions, or even of rigid mcafurcsin them,
I tremble to think. However could I obtain their ears, *
Word of advid#might do a general service. A feint of li
berty is also a spirit of honour, and honour nnd hoaefty we
infepsrable. If they permit ns to continue free, it will be
oorpride; nnd the lead appearance of failure in point ofho
nour or honesty, we will fear and deted as fttfficieat to blsd
the wreath of liberty. But, be it noted, that thahoimur of
-n slave is a farce; and the honedy of a difcontenrtd bohd
man mud ever be precarious. m
’ Hence then in tbit view, might we not hope that themer^
chants of Jitonded* Erittol, and iivsrywl, lee. tvgsfMm.
