It is no thing more than a perpetual annuity, the capital i- of which cannot be obtained or expected from go ie vetnment at any fixed period, nor can it be paid ic within any reafoi abie time by the tourfe of liqut da;ion which arifesfn m the finking fund. I A Stockholder never can retouch his capital but II by bringing his ffoek to maiket; money veiled in _ the funds is thetefors generally the property of ir luck people as, not being in trade, oniy wish ,f for a regular and fecme toccme. The floating .u the other hand, firlt ex n ills as the property of some merchant* eoutradu r, or agent,, who has received <1 in payment, it ai t ways bears some difrount ; but being payable , within a short time at par, it offers a lucrative, 1 though temporary employment for capitals ; and , therefote many of thufe itelr men wha would other* wife lodge money at their bankeis, which would be . employed in difcoitnting notes, lay it out in navy j and exchtquer bills. The fame men would not lay out their money in the funds, as no wife man, who is not a-gambler, t would lay a sum that may be greatly ditninifhed r at ilie rate by which he will be obliged, perhaps, to fell,'if he mult withdraw his money 011 any cu -6 lain i.xed day. a he floating debt is not liable to this difadvan* tage ; (o that, belioes increasing in value as the teim of its payment approaches, all great loss is , out of the queftiun, because, till the whole fabric 1 national debt fails, whicli we trust never * no great loss can poflibly be fu.lained. The floating debt, therefore, it is which ab. . sorbs that capital usually destined for dlcounts, and of consequence which engages that money usually cmplavcd for the purpose of commerce. ■ * — , This Day publijhed, Price 31 1-2 Cents, Mr. AMES's SPEECH ON rH E BRITISH T R E A TT.
