A third office should be appointed for discounting bills, tallies, and notes, by which all tallies of the Exchequer, and any part of the revenue, should at stated allowances be ready money to any person, to the great advantage of the Government, and ease of all such as are any ways concerned in public undertakings.
To my Lord Crewe's, and there dined with him. He tells me of the order the House of Commons have made for the drawing an Act for the rendering none capable of preferment or employment in the State, but who have been loyall and constant to the King and Church; which will be fatal to a great many, and makes me doubt lest I myself, with all my innocence during the late times, should be brought in, being employed in the Exchequer; but, I hope, God will provide for me.
He sliced off the head of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with his stick. Near Whitehall he saw the advertisement of a firm of shop-specialists: "BRING YOUR BUSINESS TROUBLES TO US." "WELL, Milton, had a good holiday?" said Mr. Prohack to the hall-porter on entering his chief club for lunch that day. "No, sir," said the hall-porter, who was a realist. "Ah, well," said Mr. Prohack soothingly.
There is hardly a bone in my body that does not ache, or a nerve that does not seem overstrung. "But I shall rally and be myself again; indeed, I must, for things of vast importance have to be attended to before the day is out. Our exchequer is empty, and I have to prepare for my autumn Campaign in Holland, Germany, Italy, etc."
All that remained of it were the Bedford faction and the dependents of the king; but George did not hesitate to form these into a ministry, and to place at its head the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord North, a man of some administrative ability, but unconnected with any political party, steadily opposed to any recognition of public opinion, and of an easy and indolent temper which yielded against his better knowledge to the stubborn doggedness of the king.
This then was the type of man who had sat in the six meetings of War Loan for Small Investors and listened to many conventional suggestions. He instinctively knew that the Five Pound Exchequer Bond was not a sufficient bait to hook the small savings of the great mass of the people. "We've got to make some kind of attractive offer," said Sir Hedley to himself.
If the new Exchequer Bills were to be issued at a different rate of interest from the outstanding onessay bearing an interest of five per cent the old ones would be immediately at a great discount unless the interest were raised. If the interest were raised, the charge on the revenue would be of course proportionate to the increase of rate of interest.
The tramps placed themselves while talking so as to forestall any attempt on the part of the lad to break away. "I haven't any money to lend you," sturdily answered Tom. "Do you mean to say you have no funds in your exchequer?" continued the count; "'cause if you haven't, of course we don't want anything to do with you."
We bury the individuality and personality of our daughters and give them as so much chatel to the physically and financially anaemic nobility across the water, to infuse into its diseased and impoverished veins pure blood and into its depleted exchequer pure gold. And this we call marriage. The weak-minded chattel and fatuous mother should be promptly chloroformed without benefit of clergy.
The power to impose Customs duties on British goods and the proportion of British total imports is so large that if this power were limited to foreign goods it would be financially valueless would no doubt provide the Irish Exchequer with considerable funds and might be used to develop her prosperity.
