Indirect Legislation
Satisfying
Tying up the arms of
industry
Whether any positive steps measures are taken or no
by government for putting employment into the
hands of those who may be in want of it, at least
one should might expect that nothing should be done
to take it out of them bereave them of it. If nothing is done If no steps are taken
to make them industrious,
at least one
should expect that nothing none
should be done taken to make
them idle.
There are ways of doing
this: one 1. by excluding them people men peremptorily
and absolutely from such and such ways of getting
their a livelyhood: and 2. by exacting as
the price of their his admission a sum which they
are either are unable or it is either impossible
for them him or not worth their his while to pay. The first
lays industry imposes a direct prohibition: the
other a tax which amounts may amount to a prohibition.
The first course is that which is taken by the general
law of England which excludes from certain
trades [all the trades then in use] all persons
who have not served a five seven years apprenticeship
to the trade in question. The other course is
that which is taken by several local statutes
of Great Britain which oblige a man as a condition
of his exercising such or such a trade
within the jurisdiction of the law to take up his
freedom
