§ 14 Domination impossibleDominion trusts England
Taxing, England lost her dominion

or 1
England affords instruction
as to practicability of maintaining
the dominion with
profit.

or 2.
Before the war, which changed
so man Colonies into
States, England maintained
dominion over those
Colonies, as she does over
others.
Taxes, none: sole advantage,
do. from trade in a
shape in which, it is now
generally acknowledged,
no advantage is derivable.

or 3.
By Taxation, per Constitution,
nothing extractible.
By the attempt to tax, was
the emancipation brought
about.

or 4.
Islands, &c. conquered from
despotisms, might have
been taxed, and some were.
But, to subject many, no
easement was afforded:
produce, all wasted upon
ruling few: for personal
favour and corruptive influence.

or 5.
In Spain, or elsewhere,
under despotism, such
misapplication could be
avoided: it was by France,
in the case of St. Domingo.
But, by expence of fleets
and armies for defence,
the profit was far exceeded.

or 6.
Sole instance of profit, from
distant dependencies, British
India. But, in England,
it is reaped – not by
subject many, but by ruling
few.

or 7.
England, with her vast
resources, could not prevail
against her Creoles, not 1/5th
of her population.
In your distress, can your
rulers prevail over Ultramarinia,
more populous
than you?

Taxing, England lost her dominion

or 8.
In England, different
classes had different inducements
for the flagitious
enterprize.
1. George the 3d's love of power,
and profit, by patronage.
2. So, sub-rulers.
3. Commercialists, the then
supposed advantage in
trade.
4. Subject many, expected
easement in taxes. 5. Ruling few, and subject
many, on the pride of saying
_ Our Colonies.

or 9.
George 3d a man and
King, would, in pursuit of
his objects, have drained
subjects of the last penny
and last man: nothing but
inability of finding instruments,
stopt best of King's,
father of his people, pattern
of excellence, from which
George 4th. is so degenerated.
Shall this excellence
be your's?
