There can be no greater error then in supposing that capital is increased by non-consumption.

Neither a state nor a bank ever have had unrestricted power of issuing paper money without abusing that power.

If then the prosperity of the commercial classes, will most certainly lead to accumulation of capital, and the encouragement of productive industry; these can by no means be so surely obtained as by a fall in the price of corn.

If a tax on malt would raise the price of beer, a tax on bread must raise the price of bread.

Nothing contributes so much to the prosperity and happiness of a country as high profits.

A BOUNTY on the exportation of corn tends to lower its price to the foreign consumer, but it has no permanent effect on its price in the home market.

Every transaction in commerce is an independent transaction.
