1821. April 14. First Lines Means of Accomplishment
The great cause by which decrease is reduced in given to the abundance
fund always without pleasure and in too great degree without
proportionable security to the possessions, is that which consists of produced by
the draughts made upon it by Government. See below distribution
of burthens: see also Constitutional Law.
The abundance fund, being composed of savings made out
the subsistence fund, included in it the subsistence fund: some
without, some not without, nor otherwise tan by exchange the materials
or instruments of abundance are the materials or matter
of subsistence.
Subject to this distinction, the greater the quantity and
value of the matter of the abundance fund, the greater the
degree of security it affords for subsistence.
Subject to this distinction, the greater the quantity and
value of the matter of the abundance fund, the greater the
degree of security it affords for subsistence.
Diminution of consumption being one of the two means
fo of encrease to the abundance fund, hence under occasion
where under the notion of providing security in all its branches
for the several instruments of felicity — draughts are made by
government upon the abundance fund by taxes, some indirection
may be afforded respecting the subjects on which, with least detriment,
the taxes may will be imposed.
With or without design, in so far as a tax is imposed upon
any article, the consumption, the use, and thereby the production
of it, is discouraged: to that article, discouragement is applied,
and by the same process to all other articles in so far as they are rivals to it, encouragement.
All Hence, other aspects laid out of the question, hence for encrease
of abundance-fund with a view to subsistence, there
is a use in imposing taxes rather on objects to the use of which
prompt consumption is necessary rather than on objects to the
use of which slow and gradual consumption is sufficient: on objects
applicable to the purpose of subsistence of themselves, and without exchange
rather than on objects
not applicable to that
purpose otherwise than by
exchange, especially if not
otherwise than by exchange
with foreign or distant
countries.
