; 32 THE ELBH1KTS OF BANKING. great part of London is built; that land is Capital to them And so on in numerous other caees. 25. All modern Economists claH personal skill, abilities energies, and character, as Wealth becmwe persons can make a Profit by their use. Hence they may be used as Capital an we'll as any material objects. If a man digs in his garden for his own amunftment, such Labour is not Capital : or if he singH, or acts, or givrs graMiitmitt lectures on any subject to his friends, HUoh Labour Is not Capital. But if he sells his Labour in any capacity for Mon
ON CAPITAL. 33 Thus Smith says " Trade can he extended as stock increases, and the CREDIT of a frugal and thriving man increases much faster than his stock. His trade is extended in proportion to the amount of both, and the sum or amount of his Profits is in proportion to the extent of his trade : and his annual accumulation in proportion to the amount of his Profits." So Mill, who says that Wealth is anything which has Purchasing Power, says a multitude of times that Credit is Purchasing Power. But as human abilities, skill, and energy do not come within the domain of Economics until some exercise of them is made which is paid for; so a merchant's general Credit, or Purchasing Power, does not corne within the domain of Econo* mics until he actually makes some purchase with it; and then he gives his Promise to pay in exchange for the goods instead of actual money. Now this PROMISE to pay, this DEBT, or RIGHT to demand payment is the Economic Quantity called CREDIT; and it mny be bought and sold like any material Chattel. Suppose that u person buys, or discounts a Commercial Debt ; he gives a less Price for it than the amount ; hence the Debt is always increasing in value every day ; and therefore it is Capital to him. So any other Economic Quantities of the third order, or Rights, may be Capital. If an author writes a successful Work, the Copyright of it is Capital to him or : if he sells it to a publisher it is Capital to the publisher. If a man buys into the Funds they are Capital to him. There is a class of traders whose buHinesH is to buy and sell the Funds and Shares in Commercial Companies. They arc called Stock Jobbers: and they keep a stock of this Property on hand, just aH other traders keep a stock of material goods. 27 Now there are two fundamentally distinct ways in which Capital may increase 1 . By direct and actual increase of quantity thus ; flocksj and herds, corn, and all the fruits of the earth increase by adding to their number or quantity. 2. By exchange that : is by exchanging something which has a low value in a place, for something which has a higher value. Now it is clear that Money produces a Profit, and therefore D
