IV. Rulers gainers

33 1.

IV. True, for the interest
of ruling few in Spain
it would be: the more,
the more detrimental
to subject many
1. It would add to the good
things at their disposal –
many be money be for
self and connections.

34 2.
Here behold an adequate
cause for sacrifice
of interest of subject
many, in this and all
shapes, to do. of ruling
few. In addition to necessary
few. Expenditure will
demand it will afford patience
in expenditure will
be the greatest that
can be made on this both
pretence those accounts.

35 3.
True, if the sum of real
enjoyment, gained by
ruling few, were equal
to do. ost to subject many
a common friend could
not object to the dominion.
But it is prodigiously less
For –

36 4.
1. Miseries of war apart,
of the expence of war and
preparation for war, small
the portion that goes to augment
the felicity of the
hands it passed through:
viz. official emolument
and extra-mercantile
profit on the stores.

36 (a) 4. (a)
Ordinary profit would
have been made upon
other articles.

37 5.
2. So limited the capacity
for felicity, questionable
whether, by the whole
applicable mass of the
instruments of felicity,
twice the felicity of a
well-fed labourer could
be condensed into one bosom.
This a sufficient argument
for equality, so far as consistent with
security.

IV. Rulers gainers.

38.
Corruptive influence: but
By this, or any other cause, an privileges be unrestrained from whatever addition
is made to the mass of
the instruments of felicity
in ruling few's hands, is
made to the matter of
corruptive influence, enabling
the possessors to take
to themselves and one
another, the good things
above mentioned, in breach
of their trust. For this,
see below.

39.
Corruptive influence, and reform principle concerned.
Necessary, to true views,
but every tendency in men
this decomposition of
external the universal interest.
By those by whom the opposition
has been perceived,
it has been concealed.

40.
Unless gainers; or Corrupted influences - and To subject many, not to
supra in beliefs concerned: ruling few, is this accordingly
but may perhaps be inserted addressed – written
here it would not have been,
but for the momentary dependence
of ruling few
on subject many.

Rulers gainers 41.
As the discontent in Creolia,
so will be the force
necessary to keep out, or
down, revolt. As the suffering
produced by the dominion
in Creolia, so the
discontent: as the discontent
so the force necessary to
the underworld to keep it from
coming into action.

42.
Creolia rule Spain
As good reasons, at least
might be given why rulers
resident in Spanish
America shd. govern
Spain, as vice versâ –
Number greater – deficiency
in necessary affection,
and appropriate information
not greater.

43.
Not a security against,
But an instrument of
misrule is the share given
in the representation to
Creolia.

44.
All advantages capable
of being repeated from
the intercourse, may be
reaped without the dominion.

45.
With equally incontestable
propriety, these reasons apply
to all other Colony-
holding Governments:
England, with its Hindustan
not excepted. Yet, as being
beneficial to the ruling
few, this dominion, unless
broken by Revolution, will
be maintained by both
parties.

46.
2. King, Clergy – Public Creditors
Necessity of retrenchment
considered, maintenance
of this dominion is contrary
to interests of Kings
Clergy, and Public Creditor
Survey should be all-comprehensive.
At first, representative
system will
even add to expenditure.
Long has expenditure out-run
receipt – retrenchment
is indispensable. The greater
the retrenchment from√ any one of those quarters,
the less recd from any
other.
In this less suffering
than in any other. More
abstinence from augmentation.
Sole possible suffering
that by failure of compensation
to India Board
Officers.
By limiting itself to
necessaries, Cortes may
provide for every thing. Grasping at non-necessaries,
it will provide
for nothing.

47.
II. Soldiery Averse to
be shipped off for Spanish
America, to &c. for
one section of the ruling
few, not likely to be
pleased to be sent on
the same errand for
another.
