Opis

Excerpt from The Works of John Locke, Vol. 2 Cafh of the Nation in their Hands, who can think, but that by this Law it żiould be more driven into Lombard-żreet now? There being many now who lend them at Four or Five per Cent. Who will not lend to others at Six. It would therefore perhaps, bring down the Rate of Money to the Borrower, and cer tainly dil'tributc it better to the Advantage of Trade in the Country, if the legal Ufi', were kept pretty near to the natural; (by natural Ufe, Imean that Rate of Money which the prelent Scarcity of it makes it naturally at, upon an equal Dillribution of it) for then Men being licenfed by the Law to take near the full natural Ufe, will not be forward to carry it to London, to put it into the Bankers Hands; but will lend it to their Neighbours in the Country, where it is convenient for Trade it lhould be. But if you lefren the Rate of Ufe, the Len der, Whole Interelt it is to keep up the Rate of Money, will rather lend it to the Banker, at the legal Intere/l, than to the Tradefman or Gentleman, who when the Law is broken, {hall be fure to pay the full natural [mere/l, or more 3 be caufe of the Ingrożing by the Banker, as well as the Rifque in tranfgreżing the Law Whereas Were the natural Ufe, fuppofe Seven fer Cent. And the legal Six Fll'fi, the Owner would not venture the Penalty of the Law for the gaining one in Seven, that being the utmolt his Money would yield Nor would the Banker venture to borrow, where his Gains would be but One per Cent. Nor the Mo ney'd Man lend him, what he could make better Profit of legally at Home. All the Danger lies in this, That your Trade {hould fuf'fer if your being behind hand has made the natural Ufe f0 high, that your T radefman cannot live upon his Labour, but that your rich Neighbours will fo under - fell you, that the Re turn you make will not amount to pay the Uje and afford a Livelihood. There is no way to recover from this, but by a general Frugality and Indufiry; or by being Mahers of the Trade of fome Commodity, which the World mull have from you at your Rate, becaufe it cannot be otherwhere fupplied.
