 these commodities, who commands any means of 

 endeavour to remove the burthen from himself, at 

 least attempts to advance the money price of what- 

 soever he may offer either to rent or to sell ; the 

 landlord to advance the rent of land, that he may in 

 his receipts find a counterpoise to his additional 

 expenditure ; the tenant to advance the prices of 

 agricultural productions, that he may recover 

 the increase in the constituents of the costs of 

 production : and a favorable conjuncture * ena- 

 bles these several parties to effect such purposes. 

 The manufacturer, for the same reasons, aful in like 

 manner, advances the price of goods. The ad- 

 vance in money prices becomes general. The at- 

 tempt to regulate price by price is inseparable from 

 the principle of barter, through the medium of a 

 money price.

 such supplies, that increase of price requires an 

 increase in the price of wheat and otiicr produce ; 

 an increase in the [)rice of wheat, requiirs an in- 

 crease in the j)rice of labor, and through the
