Evidence
Of this connection between vexation and expence, of the
tendency which the former one has to change its seat and
transform itself into the other, mention has already just been
made. Of the impossibility of any exact exactness of equipoise
between the burthen and the compensation, and of the
encrease thence naturally given to the burthen for the sake of purpose of encreasing
the giving to correspondent but always more than equivalent preponderant encrease to
the compensation, mention has also been made. In a
practical view this theoretical connection – this
connection will be found to possess is of no small importance. In it we shall
find the seed germ of all that mass torrent of factitious evil with
which the actual system established Systems of procedure have almost anywhere
been infected drenched and overwhelmed.
In this unhappy connection we shall find the differential
character characters of two opposite systems of procedure: one, the
end and object object and tendency of which is to reduce to their minimum these collateral evils
to as well the as well as the direct evils of procedure, the other in
which from in the proportionable profit extractible from the other branches of
the mass of collateral evil, not only that part branch of the aggregate mass
mass of evil has been encreased carried to its maximum
but the amount of the direct branch has been augmented in
a variety of ways.
