uniformity of instinct; when labour was
a sweet name for the sotivity of sane minds in healthful bodies, and all enjoy. ed in common the bounteous harvest produced and gathered in by common effort." The facilities afforded by great monetary institutions, when properly used, increase to an enormous extent the possibility of effort both in nations and individuals, but if the principle is onge discarded, that every bill negotiated represents something to be realized, they become a prolific source of commercial disorder and national poverty.
Economic law is as inexorable in its operation as phys al. Habitual viola- tion of either is surely punished,in the one case, by ruin and disaster; in the other, by fever and pestilence,
