12. Corruptionists – various classes of – Corruptors and Corruptees

In By the common name of corruptionists, corrup both classes corruptors and corruptees may
Corruptors and Corruptionists – those various classes both of them be comprised. By the use of this common appellation, the difficulty
and obscurity attached to the operation of distinguishing ascertaining the different
people acted by which of the parts is on this or that occasion acted by
the individual or individuals in question may be avoided.

Everywhere except as above or not except as above
the whole Official Establishment is a Corrupted or Corruption
Establishment, recent of the sinister benefits of corruption,
the universal work if not the universal study (of which there is a
need) is universal practice.

But – without their own pack, the members of the official
Establishment have, in their quality of Corruptors or would be
Corruptors, their accomplices and naturally in the natural
course of things their confederates.

These classes are the several classes of which the Aristocracy
of the country is composed. An enumeration of the may
be seen in the Letters to Count Toreno on the Spanish Penal Code.

They have – of all of them that which is sufficient to
make them so: they the particular and sinister interest; and the
situation – the situation in life, which gives them the faculty of
serving such of them as are not rulers, by confederacy with the such as are rulers that same sinister interest.

All expence Of the expence of government every part which
has for its effect or the its object the affording to the few pleasures
gratifications in which the many can not participate
is so much of the corruption found employed in joining those
several aristocratical classes classes of the few, and obtaining their support and assistance and
assistance in for the depredation and oppression exercised on the
many. Money applied in a general way to the encouragement
of the fine arts: and of useless knowledge: knowledge having no other use than the entertainment it affords to those who occupy themselves in the acquisition of it: money employed in the purchase of the production
of the fine arts for what is called public use: use of the
public. The public is in these cases al composed almost universally
of none but a few out of the few ruling and influential
views for as to those by whose labour through the medium of taxation the
productions are brought into existence, and who generally speaking
have neither relish for them nor bear to look at them, they are never
thought of: and if they were thought of it would only for the purpose of
keeping them out of the way, lest the amateurs should be receive annoyance from their disgusting presence.
