508 SWEDENBORG IN THE HOUSE OF NOBLES. [Doc. 177.

for it; i. e. they might sell them wholesale and retail, whereby
they would gain a part of what they would profit by the
exportation of copper. 3. By such means a specie currency
may again circulate among the people, at the rate of from
3 to 4 tons of gold every year, and by the time the Diet
meets again, from 10 to 12, nay even 15 tons of gold may thus
circulate: otherwise the country will be entirely denuded of
coin, and perhaps the district officials themselves, together
with those engaged in the manufacture of copper, will mean
while come to want, from not being able to obtain what they
need. 4. It is well known that copper is the foundation and
the main-stay on which we rely for the restoration of a specie
currency in the land ; wherefore, by allowing the export of
copper, the very foundation would be displaced.
As this subject is one of the most important, and affects
both our currency and the course of exchange, I most humbly
submit to Your Royal Majesty whether, before a resolution is
taken with regard to the exportation of these 1500 skeppund,
Your Royal Majesty would not deem it judicious to refer said
resolution together with my present humble memorial, to the
Private Committee ( Sekreta Utskottet), by whom it may be
communicated to the Private Commission on Exchange.
Your most humble and dutiful servant,
EMAN. SWEDENBORG .
(Stockholm towards the close of 1760.]
