radditioo to the many proofs of the Correct-

ame of Mr. Cohbect's opinion's, I cannot forbear seeding
you the following fact, es it fully support! the opinion
giien in his " Rustic Harangue," at Andoier " that the
price of land mast 001111) down to the prices of 1790, or
lower." i • ••
In 1790;10to father of my friend let a farM in Berk-
shire of 120' acres at 681. per annum. The rent teas
prinetaally paid, tad the farmer brought up a Wally of
12 children. By 1812 the rest had increased (like that
of most farms) to 1601. per annum. One of the farmer's
sons had by that time become the tenant. Since 1813,
the 'rent could no imager be paid ; the lease having ex-
pired my friend this year has let it at 501. per annum.
bat with little exptictaipan of getting even that. Thus
you see, Sir, one iostioce of rent falling more than 25
per teat. below the price of 1780. Here is one exam•
ple of the working of the paper money. The rent in-
creased with the ine f paper; now only a part is
withdrawn, the rent can no longer be paid. as all the ex-
p engendered by the paper money still remain.
