Creolia shut against all
foreigners. Now, (sitting of
Aug. 1820) open to all.

i.e. where there is competition,
greatest happiness

Either these laws will be
dead, or every Creolian,
who feels aggrieved by any
act of Cortes, will proclaim
it in all ways. But every
Creolian will be aggrieved
by multitudes pf such acts
some with (as above,) some
without, advantages to Spain,
as below.
§ Resistance probably expence necessitated.
Causes so ample and universal,
with such means of
expression and propogation,
discontent, and through disaffection
and disobedience,
revolt, can they long fail?

Not conceivable how, under
Art 24,25,324,326,328,335,
336, maravedi should
come to Spain. This comes

1. By 324,326, in each province,
Governor, appointed
by King, acts best as one of
a deputation with 8 Coordinates,
per 328, chosen by
all inhabitants who, not
being slaves, nor, for specified
causes, excluded, can
read and write. 44 idiom
15.
2. Per 335, of the ten functions
of this deputation, the
first is - examining and
approving the division
made of the taxes required
from the province. No approbation,
no tax vevied.
For extracting money for
Spain, what tax will be approved?
44 idiom.
16.
Remedy, how nugatory!
POwer of this deputation abused:
per 336, King may
suspend the Members. Cortes
thereupon Resolutions.
Good. if but few days
journey between King
Deputation.

But at the capitals of New
Granada, Chili, Peru, the
Manillos how will it be? In
three months, Governor's
complaint reaches King, in
6 months, Cortes Resolutions
declared; after hearing the
defence: in 9 months, they
reach Deputation;[+] Thereupon,
per 336, members of the
reserve take the places of
the deposed deputies, and continue
the same conduct:

Specimen of the probability
of such approbation.
Tabacco. Of Creolian taxes
1786, total 426,360,000
Tobacco Tax - 100,000,000
In Cortes, July or August
1820, great indignation at
it, raised in and for Spain:
how much greater in Creolia,
if raised in Creolia
for Spain, for salaries
of rulers governing Creolia
in Spain?
19 (III.2)
Such the indignation at
that tax, greater at any
other. If the mode alone
were the cause, good:
but, if the subject matter,
scarce could any so unobjectionable
be found.
Tobacco, though consumed
by the least opulent, is
still not a necessary, but
a luxury: in this a tax
on it has the advantage
pf all taxes upon necessaries.
