1826. March 15. Sept. 8.
Minimalist as taking 100 words a range with field of Political Economy
Constitutional Code.

(Supplement.)
Ratiocinative.

Art. Now as to pecuniary competition: composed
of offers of purchase, rising one above another, on an
indefinitely extended scale, in which gratuitous service
occupies no more than one degree. Whatever
be the article, numbered among these are generally
recognized, as proper objects of purchase and sale, if the
particulars sort of article be not named, pecuniary
competition, perfectly free, on both sides, will generally
if not universally be acknowledged to be – not merely
a proper, but the only proper arrangement for determining,
on each occasion, by what individual it shall
be obtained, and at what price. When application,
however, comes to be made of it, then comes diversity
in opinion, or at any rate in affection and language:
if on the occasion in question, the proposed
application is regarded by a man as favorable to his
own particular interest, as to one in which he has
a share, his approbation is of course bestowed on it;
if unfavourable, his disapprobation.

1. Subject of competition, money – in return fixt quantity for the
labour of ordinary labourers – These same lowest paid
labourers excepted, if all classes agree in the opinion
that, on the part of those who belong to this class, competition
for pay – offer to accept less and less pay can
not be too free and unlimited. So feel, and so say they
all: and, in particular, monied men, master manufacturers,
rich landowners, and high-seated and
high paid public functionaries.

2. Subject of competition money, in return fixt quantities for commodities
and other things vendible of all sorts. Like
general agreement among persons of all classes, on every
occasion on which they become purchasers, or are desirous
so to be.
