Financial (1) Rudiments to be from.

Sources of wasteful Expenditure. 1. Unnecessary war. 2. Difference
between the pay of a Monarch and do of the Chief of a Representative
Democracy. 3. In particular, all expenditure applied to the
maintenance of lustre, splendour, dignity. 4. Expenditure applied to
the advancement to purely ornamental art and science. 5. Where
the function itself is necessary, expenditure applied to the pay of a
superfluous number of functionaries. 6. So pay in superfluous quantity
to each or any functionary. 7. Distant dependencies — all dependencies
the maintenance of which costs, by reason of their distance,
more money than is or can be extracted from them by the governing
country in such sort as to operate pro tanto in diminution
of the taxes imposed upon it. 8. Encouragement applied to this
or that branch of production under the notion of adding to the quantity
and value of the whole. 9. Pensions of Retreat See Morn Chron.
10th April 1821. Affrican Company Debate. 10. Compensation pensions
on reform.

The sources or modes, actual and customary, of wasteful
expenditure, may be distinguished into two classes, having
quantity for their mark of distinction, viz. Wholesale & Retail.
The wholesale may again be distinguished into those which are
essential to the form of Government and those which, howsoever
congenial, are incidental to it.

The matter of wasteful expenditure, essential to the
form of Government is in the case of an absolute monarchy
the difference between the pay of the Monarch, and the least
pay sufficient for the President of a Representative Democracy.

In the case of a limited Monarchy, it is that same the above
quantity with the qua addition of the quantity employed in
the works of corruption and delusion: corruption, applied
more immediately to the representatives of the people: delusion,
applied more efficiently and needfully to the people themselves.
