_Then if the Parliament Orders ’em to be paid_ 250000 l. _more, which is all that the Nation is Burdened in the Bargain: The Proprietors of the Clipt Money are Reimbursed_ 75 l. per Cent. _of what they Brought to the Mint, which is more by_ 25 l. per Cent. _than the intrinsick value of it was; and the other_ 25 l. per Cent. _is coming towards ’em apace. For now the present Necessity and the Dangers of it are obviated, the price of Silver begins to Fall and Settle, as the prospect of a Plenty draws nearer_; tho’ we can never suppose it will fall lower than in other Countries, or much lower at all, during the War between _France_ and _Spain_. _And be it at what price it will, the Merchant will from all Parts bring his Silver to the_ Tower, _because the Market is here Quick and he is sure of Ready-Money for what he Sells; the King can afford now to Coin, which he could not do of late Years; And therefore a Third and Fourth Million will be soon bought and Coined, and the government out of every Million bought will save a Fourth part_. _For the New-Coin’d Money must bear a proportion to the price of Silver, as four to five, and_ 800000 l. _worth of Silver is to be in_ 1000000 l. _of New Coin no more nor less, and out of the four Million-worth of Silver, besides the Million of Plate the King will have Saved a fifth Million; by which gain’d Millions, the Clipt Money will be entirely Satisfied for at no more than_ 250000 l. _present Cost to the Government_, q. e. d. For the case will stand thus: There will be 5000000 _l._ of New Coin, _viz._ out of the Clipt Money 1250000 _l._ out of the Plate 1250000 _l._ (or if the last 250000 _l._ be not Coin’d, but Exported, then there will be out of the Plate but 1000000 l.) and out of the last Two Million worth of _SILVER_ Coin’d 2500000 l. So that there will be in the Nation at least Four Millions, Seven Hundred, and Fifty Thousand Pounds New Money. The King, after all this, buys 750000 Ounces of _Bullion_, and coins it, without Profit, into 250000 _l._ This makes up 5000000 _l._ compleat, and then the Royal Mints is to be at a stand (as at present) until the Parliament shall have resolved what more is to be done; our present Necessities are supply’d, and this, which we shall have, will not be diminished. These Five Millions now want a fifth part of the _Intrinsick Value_ of the Coin; and unless a _Real Value_ be given it to make amends for the want of the _Intrinsick_, and to Equal the _Extrinsick_, I have, after all, I confess, done nothing, according to my Fourth _Axiom_. _I humbly therefore Propose, That a Land-Tax may make it good, if it do not exceed Two-pence in the Pound._ But after what manner it is to be made good, is the great Question.
