Ch. VII
Colonial Constitution what it can not be
The p p — the D passim — the Dictatorship at an end —
comes now the question what shall our Colonists have for a Government?
Shall they have a King? — Alas no. Why not?
Even because it is would be impossible What is a King without a Crown?
What is a Crown, without its dignity? What is such dignity
made of, but the nature of values — yes in one word money.
But the money — where where is it to be hid? where is it to
be found: Alas! — no where.
Not that public happiness — and that the happiness of
the whole population of the Country compared with the happiness of
a Monarch, the sp of his Crown and its dignity is w any is now
thing. But of this same dignity the sole and counter
matter is not to be had. What then is the Of the
rejection thus put upon the Monarchist form of government,
what then is the cause? Not throne: but impossibility: impossibility
invincible. For an undecided number of years,
write what prices of the surplus labour of the Colony over and above
what would be absolutely necessary to keep them in a state
capable of resting, ful be the one purpose. Still it
would it remain most glaringly and deplorably insufficient.
