" t. INQ itiND • t * The felloWing is the conclusion of Lord Gasmen. Les A rgument, tar his. masterly tossepblet on the Sinking Fund: . No 'pollees! pamphlet of the present day, which did not engage the psalms or prejudices of a party, has made so strong an impres • *Wen the public, or is likely to issue in so important results. neereary to observe of this Essay, that it is directed against _ _ _ . . the Sinking Fund IN deleted by Dr. Patcr, and as established is 1716, hot against a fund for paying off debt. • ; Milni• who will readily disclaim all hope of direct • roblic benefit from a Sinking Fund, whether in peace • of war, at simple or at compound intetest, will never• theless still fi , mly cling to its continuance or renewal. Ttioy will admit, perhaps, without hesitation, that a na-, • tion can no moreprofit by thus trafficking with itself in its . own securities, and buying debt with debt, and money with money,than an individual could by shifting hispurse from ons,pocket to another,or his banknotes from the up . let drawer of his catsinet to the lower. But they are Ail! • . lotploos t esivrith a deep sense of the more remote and incident - al% but, as they believe, unquestionable advan tages of such an institution. Those advantages would indeed be differently described by different persons.— They are supposed to consist in more than one par ti. t . - eular ; and they are of course more difficult of eiami . nation, in proportion as they are in their own nature, or in the accounts thus given of them, more vague and indeterminate. But they may mostly be Teduced, I believe, under the four following heads: "1. By some this system is recommended—it was so, Irbelieve, last year, even by Mr. Canning . himself—as a resource in unforeseen emergencies. • "2. Many have insisted, and still insist much on its good effects, in raising and upholding the price of Stocks. " 3. Oti;ers again, men of great knowledge on these subjects, and high au hnrity, strongly rely on the ad ♦antages which it air rds in the compulsory accumula , floe of the national wealth, and in the forced diversion of that wealth from what they deem unprofitable expen ..• diture in the mans of prodoctive capitall "4, A still more flattering, but much more general picture i. drawn by others, of the increased confidence produced both at home and abroad in the stability of our financial' system, when it is 'seen annually to allot such overwhelming sums to the reduction of debt; an operation no naturally considered, at first new, as an -.almost infallible symptom of increasing wealth. • " To aio it appears, but I speak here with all the deference with v hich I ought to speak in such a case, that there can be little difficulty, either in pointing out, a: ;a unfolding tl.e general topics by which these notion, may be successfully opposed. • "I. On the first it is obvious to remark, that it rests solely On what 1 cannot but call aninaccurAte use of the ,p s tincip4i term in the discussion. Any portion of income available fur unforeseen exigencies, is manifestly nor a • 8-nking Fund, but a disposable surplus of revenue.— Such a surplus has its own advantages and disadvan• !Ages, but in butte it essentially differs from a Sinking Fund. The one is appropriated, the other free. • " 2. 01 the second, we should, in the first place, ab tolutely deny that it can be either expedient or just to give to one species of , property an artificial value, by buithens imposed for that purpose on all other pro perty. Rut may it not al.o be confidently asset ted that tau such effect can. g; neralty or permanently. be pin. duced by the puichas% s of a Snikinv Find? Whatever ,raises the price'cif stock . renders them comparatively . a less proatableemploymeot of money, and tends dice. fore to divert capital into other investments until the natural level be re.tored. , • •' S. The third point involves a question of more ex tensive and important, but, if I do not greatly deceive . ta y self; of not much more difficult investigation. The very benefits themselve, which are relied on in this case, the forced accumulation, the compulsory saving, the artificial direction of private wealth, are all; as it teems to me, directly opposed to the first - principles of •political economy. Such endeavours would lead us. • and by no strained consequence, to the most exploded errors ; the boarding of a public treasure, or the im position of sumptuary laws. The proper aim of legisl,- . • ion in tl:ese matters is not the multiplication of wealth, but the multiplication of that social happiness which is derived from wealth, and Which consists essentially in ite use—in its wise and virtuous, but free use. And that this freedom, while it gives to wealth its highest •alue, has also been made, through the appointed con • stitutioo of our nature, the- most effective instrument of its increase, is the beautiful discovery of modern • science. The government whir*, ofeks to enrich its subjects by directly or indirectly ,narrowing their en• • ji g meats, not only sactifices the true objects of its care • to the imaginary means of their attainment, but also powerfully cGuatermines even its own misdirected p irpose. • • " 4.0 n the fourth point there is a.still readier answer. 'The security at which a wise Government will aim is to bo looked for in actual, not in imagined strength. To the wisdom of domestic Councils, to foreign authority and influence, nothing is more detrimental than a trust reposed in unreal power. "Fanelli, in the conclusion of the whole inquiry, it may s , I think, be undeniably demonttr.ted, that the • great source of all error on this subitcc, if error it le, has been the spirit and love of system ; one of the fore most of dime idols. as Bacon terms them, by which the heart Of.osan has, in all ages, been allured from the Urn. pie-pursuit of tru th. In the popular discussion of these • hachure, the wisdom bas been, I believe, almo,t-univer eitily, but quite gratuitously assumed, of establishing ja this respect an uniform, permanent, and, if it had • bees in our poser, an inviolable course of policy. OUt dete r mine whether any, and *hat portion of motional wealth shall, at any given time,lo withdrawn, by taxation from private use, for the toduction of . public debt, isnot a: question f abstract science. No decision can more essentially depend on the contingent Nod fluctuating' consideration of ever-varying • cir cumstances. None, therefore, can be fitter to be re. agreed for the annual consideration of a wise and cautious legislature. What then shag we say of a system which anticipates all such detttinsioations for long periods and eyes* of future yews; baying no reference to the • chances or changes of human affairs, bot regulating the eventful interests of a greet community by an unbending alithxdrnical progression, or by the workings of a rule in . ,algebra? If this be wise, why do we not also fix by the same principles the numbers of cur fleets and armies, to be maintained unalterably in every contingency of peace 1 , • ' denie war t . profound security, Or of fearful and imminent . . e are well assured, that the course of knowledge . emong . tt us is not now rotrograde, nor. the spirit of popiptom declining.
