Constitut. Code.

Tax fed functionary, tithe-fed priest, 'fee-fed' lawyer Judge and Advocate

Take for example the case of Ireland a certain country
which any man may know by the description here given of it.
The Of every the most indigent day labourer it is the wish
of the matter of subsistence and abundance, the aggregate of the quantity in
the whole country may be at its maximum: and to this wish
there is no proviso no conditional, no limitative restrictive clause. For that
by any addition to the share aggregate any diminution should
be effected in his share is a result which, true or false, is not
of a nature to find its way into his conception.

This same wish has place in every section the breasts
of the body composed of the ruling and influential few – in every
section of that body. But here in this part of the population comes in the a sort of proviso, the restrictive clause: provided my share of the produce
of the taxes be not diminished by it says whispers to himself the tax-fed
some idplaceman: provided my tithes be not diminished
by it, says, in like manner, the tithe-fed priest,
provided our fees beneither our fees nor our influence be not diminished by it say the fee-fed
Judge and Advocate.

Unfortunately But were the tax abundance can not
be encreased unless the taxes be diminished, the
tithes for which no service is rendered abolished, and by the
rendering of placing the services of the Judge to all and those of the Advocate
who would thus within the reach of all who need them. the
made to cure But were this done to the doing of this, what would be
necessary is, that after the extinction of the existing set of extortioner
in all these several shapes, the extortion in all these shapes
should cease. And But this is what the extortioners, even though
their the benefit of their own extortions were preserved to them
could would not endure to think of: of for, of very little whatsoever sympathy
they have, every particle is engrossed by the fewcomparatively few persons in the same condition
in life as themselves: if antipathy not sympathy, is the sentiment with
which the whole class of those by whose labours they are pampered is regarded.
