Destroy the existing conduit, and let me again inquire, what forcing-pump, what new-invent- ed patent pressure, were it devised by Bramah himself, is to compel specie into those inacces- sible regions ? The difficulty of conveying the supplies is augmented by the risk of carrying wealth unguarded through the regions of po- verty. I know my countrymen are indifferent THE CURRENCY. 59 honest, as Hamlet says ; yet I would not ad- vise the Genius of the specie system to travel through Scotland, mor...al as the country is, after the fashion of the fair pilgrim, " rich and rare, " in Moore's beautiful melody, just by way of try- ing the integrity of the inhabitants. Take my word for it, the absence of temptation is no value- less guardian of virtue. If convoys of gold must be sent through lonely mountains, I venture to say, that smugglers will be converted into rob- bers, and that our romance-writers need not turn back to ancient times for characters like John Gunn, or Rob Roy Macgregor.
This I am sure of, that if the mere authority of a legislative enactment can force a sufficient quantity of gold into those parts, to carry on the fishery and kelp manufactures, it can do a great deal more in favour of the poor but hardy inha- bitants.
