THIS CONVENTION taking into
confidcration the lat#rapid depreciation of
our Currency, and the riff of the articles of Cora
nicrce and Produce ncaeffary for the Supply of tht
army, even much beyond what could naturally rirife
from the quantity cf the circulating med uni, owing
to the avaricious view# cf many inconsiderate peo
ple, who would not wiffi the deftruGion of their
country, and to the artful defign# of cur more secret
1: wd! rs rpan enemies, to ruin if ncffible the credit
of our money, wincn if &£!?©& ^.zu^h w
would not defpiir of the common.wealth, yet,
must be attended with the most alarming and dan
gerotis confcquences. have for the prevention of the
feme came into the following refclationr. And not
withfianding sundry attempts have been heretofore
made to prevent the growing mifehief by regulating
and limiting the prices of the articled of Commerce
and produce, which have hereto proved abortive,
frifing as we conceive fiom the multipl ed tmiffionc
of Continental bills in circulation, from too great 1
redu&ion of the then current prices cf articles and
from rhe partial extent cf the agreements entered info
fuc regulation ; their not being general gave an un
i^Lxible advantage to the inhabitants of fuel Siit^
which had not adopted the fame measures, not on!,
to drain those States which had e<me into a regula
tion of prices of such articles at they needed for
their own consumption, but to fvpply the arm, at 1
much higher price, ofwhich the regulating S'itee
must pay their proportions yet Ccr,ieA having late
ly adopted measures by recommending faqaeat tax
atieh and encouraging Ic&nr thereby to supply and
fuppCTt the annual expence# of cur army and having
refcNed not to use any farther cmiffions after the fura
of two hundred millions cf dollars , is combleated.
The natural depreciation of the bills in circulation
raay be nearly ascertained, and thereby a foundation
laid in which a reasonable price for the articles of
commerce and produce can be fixed with greater jus
tice and p/ecifion, it may by feme be apprehended
that the regulation of pr ces is new altogether onne
ceffary; however we find that rotwithflanding the
wife measures aforementioned which CongreG have
adopted, yet the constant demands of the army are
such and thedifec^tions of the people to obtain the
highest prices they can, for the articles they pe ffefe
are so great and general, and these confirmed by long
habit and custom, that a regulation of prices with the
other meafurcs hereafter recommended, appearat pre
feat nectary, efp«&ally when it is coi frered that
the engrosser, mcroprlizer, the opulent firmer and
trader will be induced, and it will be in their power
UDleh refriAed to increafa the price of the article#
they have on hand in proportion to the increase cf
their files, which will not only defeat the erd at>d
purpefe of trillion; oblige the bengrefi to make far
ther ciniffion; or the aimy be left defiitute, but tea
