CHAP. IV. Methods which may be proposed for lessening the 542 several inconveniences to which material money is liable, Use of theory in political matters, —— Five remedies against the effects of the variation —— between the value of the metals, Remedies against the other inconveniences, 544 Against the wearing of the coin, —— Against inaccuracy of coinage, —— Against the expence of coinage, —— Against arbitrary changes in the value of coin, 545 CHAP. V. Variations to which the value of the money-unit is —— exposed from every disorder in the coin, How the market price of the metals is made to vary, —— The variation ought to be referred to the _rising_ 546 metal, and never to the _sinking_, How the money-unit of accompt is made to vary in its 547 value from the variation of the metals, Consequences of this, —— The true unit is the mean proportional between the —— value of the metals, The unit to be attached to the mean proportion upon a 548 new coinage, not after the metals have varied, It is better to affix the unit to one, than to both 549 metals, Variation to which the money-unit is exposed from the —— wearing of the coin, Variations to which the money-unit is exposed, from the 550 inaccuracy in the fabrication of the money, Variation to which the money-unit is exposed from the 551 imposition of coinage, When coinage is imposed, bullion must be cheaper than —— coin, Exception from this rule, 552 Variation to which the money-unit is exposed by the —— arbitrary operations of Princes in raising and debasing the coin, CHAP. VI. How the variations in the intrinsic value of the 553 unit of money must affect all the domestic interests of a nation, How this variation affects the interests of debtors and —— creditors, A mistake of Mr. Locke, 555 When the value of the unit is diminished, creditors 556 lose; when it is augmented, debtors lose,
