Junctiania Proposal
§.8. Anglo American United States – Capitalists Anglo-American United States – their inducements
for taking the part proposed in concurrence for granting the protection requisite.
1. As to the Guarantee looked for at their hands.
The purposes for which the concurrence of the long
established American Republic is regarded as necessary,
has been already stated: – the affording to capitalists a
sufficient assurance, that the source of their profit
will not be dried up: dried up either by hostility from without,
or by misconduct in any shape within.
The shapes in which eventual assistance is
looked for at her hands have also been already brought to
view.
I First of the two mischiefs against which the guarantee
is looked for – 1. Against hostility on the part of any maritime
power: – hostility, directed to the purpose of destroying,
injuring, or seizing and keeping the line of communication:
the eventual assistance looked for, that of her naval force.
If, of the engagement for such eventual assistance,
any actual addition to expense were a necessary consequence, here would be
a burthen: a burthen to set in account against the cotemporary accompanying benefit.
But, for any such expence no probable need, it is believed,
can be pointed out. For general purposes, a naval
force, to a certain amount, she keeps up already, and will
at all times keep up. The sight of this force, ready at all
times to be called for and brought into account action, should
the conjuncture in question – the casus fœderis, as it is
called by publicists – ever come into existence, – will, in all
human probability, be at all times sufficient for the
purpose: to prevent its being ever called for, its universally
known readiness, to come whenever called for, will suffice.
