A PROPOSAL To Make Good the Coin of this Kingdom, Without Diminishing the Species thereof. WHEREAS the great Difficulty that appears in bringing this Matter to bare, proceeds from the Consideration, That the Calling in all the Clipped Money, (being so general) will occasion a great stop in Trade, the Market thereby not able to be Supplied, besides the many further Inconveniences that may Naturally arise: YET the Necessity for our Moneys to be Regulated is such, That it were much more Eligible to be subject to the hazard of such mischiefs, than not put a stop to that growing evil: Both which to prevent, it's Humbly Proposed as an expedient to render it easy and practicable, as followeth: THAT a FUND (being made for a Lottery of a Million, or more, if thought fit, to be Advanced by such Persons only as shall purchase their Interest by bringing in Plate; forthwith to be Coined before the Clipped Money be called in) would certainly Answer in lieu of Ballion, to give an immediate Supply to the Market, keep our Money circulating, and remove all Objections. THE Quantity of the Superfluous Plate in this Kingdom is so considerable. which, together with the Useless Plate in Public Houses, being Prohibited, it's not to be doubted, but One Million, at least, would be soon Advanced. ESPECIALLY when we consider the Price that Plate now bears, and how desirous the People are of coming into another Lottery, as plainly appears by the Prizes and Blanks in the Million Adventure, when once past the hopes of another Lottery, this Sessions Advanced from Six Years Purchase to Seven and an half. THE Way and Method for all such Persons as intend to be Proprietors in this Adventure is Proposed, that they carry their Plate to the Mint, there to receive Tickets according to the Value, Accounting so many Ounces as shall be proportioned to a Ticket, and for every odd Sum that shall happen over and above, to receive a Note for the same, Payable at a certain time, after Coming. BUT if if it shall be thought fit to have such Plate brought into the Bank, on the same Conditions as above, thence to be Transmitted to the Mint, to return in Coin; the Mint will be greatly eased, considering the Work upon their hands, and the Money made much more Defusive. FOR the Bank thereby being enabled to answer the Defficiency of the Mint, all Persons of Worth and Credit, that shall bring their Money to be Coined, will readily take Notes upon the Bank, for what shall fall short, which being for their ease; and having a free Credit, the Million in Specie will remain in the Bank to supply the Poorer sort of People, that can afford no Credit, having no more than bare Subsistance. SO consequently, The Bank will supply the Mint, and the Mint be able to supply the Bank before Occasion: Therefore no possibility of Stoppage in Commerce, or want of Current Money. BY these means, not only the present Occasion is answered, by Facilitating the Coinage of all the Clipped Money, but a Million in Specie is created more; without which, it's directly linking a Million from what was in the Nation before, which is conceived can hardly be spared at this time. THE Proposer craves leave further to Observe, that considering the Honourable the House of Commons has so far proceeded in Relation to the Regulating this intolerable Abuse, if not effectually Remedied this Sessions, it has given such an Alarm, that, before the next Sessions, it will be, in a mann●●i●●●ssible to preserve any one piece of Money, that is now of Good Value, from receiving the same Injury: And how far this will add to the Misfortune of the Nation, is Humbly submitted to their Great Wisdom.
