The Rt fi-E ov KrGS't iNVioiiABiJE . ^—WlicuPhilip f Valois swore ihe officers of bis mint to conceal the debasement of the coinage , and to endeavour to make tlie merchants believe that the gold and silver pieces " vere of full value , he thought that , although perhaps unprincip led , such a measure would bei vastly profitable . And so no doubt believed the other Icings , who , in the «< rood old times , " almost universally did the like , They ' . overreached , themselves , however , as all sue !) hemers do . It is true that their debts were diffii-Tiinished " in proportion to the reduction in the Value f the currency ; but their revenues were at the same time reduced in the like ratio . Moreover , the loss of their reputation for honesty made them afterwards unahle to borrow money , except at proportionately high rates of interest , to cover the risk ran by the lender . " So tiiat they not only lost on the creditor side of their accounts what they gained on the debtor side , but put themselves at a great disadvantage for the future . After centuries of dearly-bought experience , the practice was reluctantly abandoned , and is now universally exploded as essentially suicidal— -just as suicidal , in fact , as all other infringements of the rule of right . —Social Statics . . ¦ .
