net profit can be derived – derived by any ration
from a connection with a distant one: trade,
on terms equal and free on both sides; subjection,
none on either side. Well now, with this proof

whoever they may be, will they ever of their own

part of these their still more distant dependencies,
give their consent, willingly and cheerfully,
to the ridding you of the burthen of the remainder?
Even after a course of years elapsed, and at the end
of it the benefit reaped from the now independent
provinces found to be more than double (suppose)
of the greatest that was ever reaped from them
in their independent state – even after a proof
such as that, of the burthensomeness of the dominion
and the beneficial effects of the loss of it, –
will they, be those beneficial effects ever so great,
spontaneously relinquish the dominion, or so
