§.9. Draughtsman gratuitous
On a review of these two plans, it will be seen,
that the expensive one is, in every point of view, an ineligible
one: the unexpensive, in every point of view, an eminently
eligible one, and the only eligible one: the effect of the expensive
one being, besides the mischief of useless expence, to produce,
with relation to the business itself, comparative inaptitude,
together with collateral mischievous effects; the effect
of the unexpensive one being, besides the saving of the expence,
to produce the maximum of aptitude, together with collateral
beneficial effects.
I. Plans for obtaining proposed Codes by factitious
reward, what: and why ineligible unapt, all of them unapt,
and why. By the supposition, factitious reward being in this
case to be administered, the case is, thereby rendered the
is thereby rendered as just observed, a case of patronage: in a state of dependents, dependents
presently on with by hope or gratitude or both, the persons looking for, or in
possession of, the reward; patron or patrons, the person or persons
to whose nomination or influence the person or persons,
in possession or expectancy of the appointment, with the reward
attached, are, or look to be, indebted for it. Such being the nature of the case, Every plan of appointment
in which such patronage has place, will be seen to be ineligible
unapt. The following are the events by circumstances in which this ineligibility inaptitude has
will be seen to be produced have the causes its causes.
1. The sinister interests and prejudices, to the action
of which the patron or patrons in this situation stand exposed,
have been already brought to view: to the action of these
same causes of bad workmanship, the dependent stands necessarily
exposed, together with any others which may happen to
have application in his own particular instance.
2. By the corruptive influence of patronage, the probability
of appropriate aptitude, on the part of the workman,
and thence on the part of the work, can not but be greatly
diminished.
3. Under the influence of this plan, the work in
question will, according to the ode of payment employed,
be in all probability, if produced at all, either inordinately delayed,
or, through precipitation, deprived or more or less of
the aptitude which might otherwise have belonged to it.
