Indirect Legislation

Rewarding

Breach of fiscal trust. in the highest departments
of administration.

Another and most beautiful instance
of the application of this principle is to be seen
in the one of the proposals given made in Mr Burke's introductory speech
on the to his oeconomy bill. Officers entitled to salaries
at the public expence are divided into a scale
of classes: these classes in respect of the priority
of payment have rank in the joint ratio of
the importance of the service office, and the political
weakness of the officer: except that the chief paymaster
himself, coming notwithstanding the the amplitude
of his whose power overbalanceing the to this purpose
the consideration of the importance importance of his office,
coming last of all. I shall will not spoil this passage
[I am speaking of] by commenting upon it. To do justice to the
ingenuity of the idea, the force of the reasoning and
the beauty of the language I shall take the only possible
method there is, which is to transcribe it as it
stands. Speech &c p. 82- 87
p. 82 - 86. 3d ed. 1780
[The development above given will enable
any one who thinks proper to refer] to turn its analogy
to the instances above
given
The description
given of the manner in which the principle operates
in the above cited instances may be easily transposed adapted
to the present one instance by any one who may if any person should think it
worth the trouble.
