We have entered into some detail upon ,la,
subject, as there seems to be strange mis-.
conception upon the nrst' principles Of poIii.
cal economy--It is commended, for the FIRST
time, that the merchant will lose nothing By
being compelled tc sell dear; and that isa
matter Of. perfect Indifference in commerce.,
whether the commodity reaches its market hy
direct road, and therefore at natural price,
or through al. the obstacles Of possible inter-
rupticn, and therefore at very dispropoltion.
able and very unnatural price.
/" The only difference would be-" say they,
quoting the words Of Mr.. Randolph, an Amc.
rican Senator, " that the Americans viii saye
TO give ice for q commodity, where they
formerly gave dollar"
p This might be the difference to such man
as. AR. Randolph, who could equally afford
to have the commodity whether it cost a jQ'
ora dollar. But it would be very diaersai
with respect to, the Americans in genera
Every one could not purchase a. a Joe yha
purchased.at dollar. Some would endcavol
therefore to do without it, cthcrswould begin
to think OF substitutes. Necessity is the mo-
ther of invention. US not drive the Ans
ricans to resources from which it may be at.
forwards very difficult to recall them.
