POLITICAL ECONOMY AND Bee Br Bn ld ¢ | HISTORY OF COMMERCE | ens ‘ (By John Connelly) Political economy is the latest of the sciences. It is also one of the hardest but is certainly one of the most im- portant, for there is none whose aims are more beneficient. In so far as so- ciety understands and obeys its laws, LMER TOWN, PENNS 0118418001181 801 8008181 Err bre@ued, i AB RR SE, it makes progress in opulence and ci- TT — vilization; in so far as it neglects or disobeys them, it stands still, or Syren Jip goe back. Futhermore an inductive science. is not geometry or arithmetic—a series of h t long reasonings gathered from a few a simple axioms and definitions—but it has to be carefully collected from f and what it lays down as a princ has to be measured by experience. As soon as men began to reason about government, law, morals, and other subjects in which civilized society is interested, and by which it exists, t could not but take some note of cir cumstances on which the wealth and prosperity of a nation depend. Thus, in the early days of ancient civilization this philosophere of Greese and Rome Although tney propounded a variety of ingenious theories which are stu- | | died with interest and advantage in | our own day, they made but little pro- | gress in the science whose aim it is to expound the manner in which wealth is obtained and distributed among the several classes of which society is com- | posed—of the means in brief by which the largest number of persons can subsist in the greatest possible aclu- ence by the least labor. It seems to be a sugicient explana- tion of the fact that this topic did not occupy the minds of those keen thinkers because every ancient com- munity allowed or encouraged slavery. The moral evils which ensue from such a social state as that in which men hold their fellow-men in bondage need not be referred to here. They are so manifest that the whole civilized world is agreed in condemning the practice. The peculiar economical mischief that ensues from slavery is, that as slavery degrades labor, so it prevents from seeing that labor is the cause of wealth, and that as labor is economized wealth progressively increases. freedom is as essential to exchange as Besides | | producing objects of aesire or demant al with as little labor as they can, ant | with a view to exchanging them as freely as possible. It is plain that when labor is enslaved, the motive to make labor as effectives as posible is annul {led, and that the full power ex- change is taken away. It cannot be by accident that the first promulgation of a system of poli- tical ecgnomy was made at the time |in which slavery was condemned in principle, and only permitted in prac- Ol tice under protest. | It must not be supposed becau freedom to labor at one’s own discre- tion is accorded to all members of a civilized community, that perfect free- lom of exchange is also allowed. But it is admitted, that when-ever personal liberty to work is’ controlled by law or custom, the control is always on its defense, is always liable to be challen- ged, and must be approved befor can be allowed or continued. In short the discretion of an individual is limit- ed only.on the plea -that the public good requires such a limit communities It are 1 Supposing two y is plain that war with each other.
