whereas that is the case only with only
a fourth small part of them? What is the consequence?
– That the subject pays – What is it? so many times
as much about as much again (is it not?) as the government
receives. A tax is imposed – ⊞ ⊞ Observe what becomes of the produce. – half of it
is gathered in for public use: half of it, and but half: the other half
is thrown away blindfold among N.B. and either
keepers of public houses.
Observe too the sort of poll-tax: a poll-tax
on saddle or chaise horses kept by one private
individuals for their own use would have been
a quite different affair. To the Post-horse master
the horses is are of use no otherwise than in proportion
as they is are employed. To the individual who keeps
a horse for pleasure his carriage the cattle are of use, employ'd or not employ'd so long
as he has it within call in his power to use
them.
See what a men risk by taking opinions upon
word. And Yet which of all of us can avoid it?
