The goods to be bought and sold being precisely the same as

before, the same quantity of money will be sufficient for buying

and selling them. The channel of circulation, if I may be allowed

such an expression, will remain precisely the same as before. One

million we have supposed sufficient to fill that channel.

Whatever, therefore, is poured into it beyond this sum, cannot

run into it, but must overflow. One million eight hundred

thousand pounds are poured into it. Eight hundred thousand

pounds, therefore, must overflow, that sum being over and above

what can be employed in the circulation of the country. But

though this sum cannot be employed at home, it is too valuable to

be allowed to lie idle. It will, therefore, be sent abroad, in

order to seek that profitable employment which it cannot find at

home.
