at similar high rates. This will therefore invite 
Sellers or Exchangers, but may repel buyers. 
21, On the contrary the Minimum or Low 
rates would invite buyers, but repel Sellers, un- 
less divested of all Cupidity, and acting at last 
upon the beneficial planof reducing all prices to 
the least metallic term of value, the best plan 
perhaps after all ; but the Maximum would be 
most acceptable at first, until Cupidity is fully 
gratified and overcome. 
22, Let us merely shew the main effects of 
these two Mutual Systems. For instance in the 
Maximum at ten-fold rates, the Wealthy Capi- 
talist would receive 50 or 60 per Cent, interest- 
or profit on any Metalic Capital put in Mutual 
concern or exchange; while the Industrious 
Farmer would receive $2 a pound for his butter, 
or $50 for his flour, or the Laborer One Dollar 
per hour of labor .... but never payable in me- 
talic coin, but in Certificates of Exchanged 
Values. 
23, At the Minimum rates, altho’ the Capi- 
talist might receive only one per Cent, per annum 
on his coin, he could obtain butter at two Cents 
the pound, flour at 50 Cents the barrel, labor at 
ten Cents per day . . . and so on. If Capital is 
seldom tendered! at this rate, yet when tendered 
at the high rates of 50 per Cent, it may be 
available for the few purposes where Coin may 
be indispensable, and by a nice calculation of 
High and low rates in ratio to fluctuating values 
will afford a fair profit even then. 
24, It need not be said that there is a fallacy 
in these prices since they after all equalize each 
others it is so, but their utility is this very equity 
and equality, always unvariablel while all prices 
fluctuate around, and by availing of these flue-
