Exhibit here or below the rule exhibiting the test of good management

[In a Representative Democracy, [the Financial branch
of Government] all the several departments having for their actual
end good management as applied to each, the financial
department has for its actual end frugality as above defined.

In a pure Monarchy, when that Expenditure which can
is employed in giving supply to that waste by which gratification is
afforded or endeavoured to be afforded to the appetites of the Monarch,
his favourites, and instruments, of which waste the expence
of the war department constitutes always the most expensive
article, this branch has for its actual end the same as
that which in a representative democracy it has: viz frugality:
the same end with whatsoever inferiority in respect of uniformity steadiness and success
pursued. Even in the war department, frugality is, in all the details,
an object actually pursued: of the dictates of frugality, the only
one purposely violated is that by the observance of which by
far the greatest part of the whole expence of this department would
be struck off: viz that part which has for its object the carrying
of employing keeping their physical force without expence in a state of constant
preparation eventually-necessary for war against foreign nations.
