(2.)
If, against any of the causes of deficiency in regard
to subsistence, the legislator Law Government has failed to provide an efficient remedy
the consequence is death. Security against calamity has
so far failed to have been afforded.
But, against deficiency in regard to subsistence, no
remedy can ever be provided but at the expence of security
for abundance. The fund of abundance is composed of the
stock remaining of the produce of labour, deduction made of
their several amounts substracted by consumption, useful
and useless, immediate and gradual, natural and human,
in all their several shapes.
In his endeavor to provide a remedy against deficiency
in their regard to subsistence, ? the legislator finds himself all along
under the pressure of this dilemma — forbear to provide supply,
death ensues, and it has you for its you are the author. of it. Provide supply,
you establish a bounty upon idleness, and you thus give encrease
to the deficiency which it is your endeavor to exclude.
How to Under the pressure of this dilemma, how to
act is a problem the solution of which is will in a great degree, to
be dependent upon local circumstances: nor can any thing
like a compleat solution be so much as attempted without
continual reference to them. One leading observation applies
to all places and all times. So long as any particle of the matter
of abundance remains in any one hand, it will rest with
those to whom it appears that they are able to afford assign a sufficient
reason why the requisite supply to any deficiency
in the means of deficiency should be refused.
