latitude, on the subject Of Political
Economy. A series Of lectures Of Dr..
Adam Smith, published in a periodical
before US. furpishes the data.
Certainly this is subject Of more
vital importance to the people at large,
than the mere bellowings Of noisy Office
seeking deE,agogues.
The well regulated labor Of COM
munity, is its happiness, az we'll as it,
wealth.
This is q we'll established axiom,
upon which tho foundation Of every
well regulated government is based
Anything therefore. which tends to
make unproductive capital active. tends
to amelioyate the condition Of mankind;
socially. as well az politically. This
leads us to enquire what is capital p
Surely it is not the precious metals, or
their paper representatives. No one
who has ever given the subject mo-
ments thought, will contend that money
is capital. The wealth Of commune
ty is its industry. If left to itself,
nothing but Industry will support it
money is a mere representative Of
wealth, the shadow, not the substance.
Every community should endcavour to
live within itself, and depend as little
as possible on neighboring communi-
ties. The policy Of the British Gov.
eminent has always been to induce its
colonies and the world at large. to think
that one nation must be exclusively
agricultural, another mechanical, and
another commercial this system is
ruinous to the whole, and it is the bane-
full influence Of this policy that keeps
abou. one half Of the world in state Of
abjcct poverty.
To come home to our own door, we
desire to show the people of this great
city how much is daily being lost to
them by idle capital-capi'al that is
constantly consuming and producing
nothing. The town Of Baton Rouge
numbers about 1000 inhabitants, out
Of this four thousand we may safely say !:
$50 are mechanics,
500 Professional men,
700 Merchants,
200 Merchants Clerks,
2450 Office holders and seekers and
gentlemen Of leisure.
The $50 mechanics, including bak-
ers, brewers, and butchers, arc really
the only productives, the balance do
nothing but consume and we must add
to this large lit of consumers, all the
women and children. How town
thus situated can live, puzzles our phil
osophy. The merchants all brake
the doctors and lawyers starvc, and the
mechanics lie idle, for there is no mon
ey to pay them when they work. The
only way We can account for the fact,
that the town does not eat itself up, is,
tina. it has credit. 1t lives on its Gre
dit from day to day, and when it dies
it will be put in Corporation coffin.
Now, suppose this idle capital of 245O
good working hands were turned to
some account, would not the town pros
per and grow rich Of course it would,
and there is SO many different branch
es into which it could be at once turn
ed. If it is not soon done. We would
advise the merchants to shut their
shops, for they must loose their money
if they have any invested. and the town
