1. Reason 2. By the competition thus proposed a bridle
will be applied to the power of the constituted authorities:
a bridle, and that an unexceptionable and indispensable one.
The need of this bridle is produced by has for its cause the force of
sinister interest: that particular interest, by which in every situation
and more particularly in the a situation to which political
power is attached every human being is prompted
in case of competition, and to the extent of the competition, every individual
is prompted, to make sacrifice of the happiness of all besides to his own
individual happiness:⊞ ⊞ in every situation
every individual promoted
and in every political
situation, in proportion
to the power and influence
attached to that situation
enabled; to make this
sacrifice: at say such sacrifice may according be
termed the sinister sacrifice.
Behold now what this bridle is, and in what manner how it is that by the unlimited by to each portion of the vast application is inadequate the greatest
number of original draughts let in by the proposed open mode,
it is applied. By the supposition, each draught comes provided with its rationale,
But and true it is that, as above mentioned, by that
same rationale as abovementioned, a bridle is applied, or that an inefficient
one to the hand by which the draught will have been penned mouth of the by whose hands author of that same draught.
Small however will be the utmost force tutelary force of that one
bridle, compared of with that of the which may be applied
by the aggregate of the one all the rationalized several draughts
with their respective rationales, to which, in a number
altogether indefinite, it is the object of the here proposed
arrangement to give birth. The bridle, which, in this shape,
each man makes for its his own mouth, will naturally of course
be as small light and soft as he can contrive to make it.
it seem sufficiently manifest Let anyone judge how inadequate the check applied the force of this one
check, and that applied by so partial a hand, must cannot but be, when compared with the

So not the whole number of those instruments which that man
