or 1
By war, radicalists
greater sufferers than
rich: the less one has,
the less one can spare
for taxes.

Now, by war whenever there is one, more of the class
of the radicalists — in a word the impotent many — will
be greater sufferers than any that stand above them in
the seat of opulence. For, in the case of war let
for ever, let it come when it will money must be found.
It must be taken from all classes: and the less a man
has of it, the less he can spare for this or any other
purpose.

or 2
Objection. By radicalists
under democratic ascendency
no unnecessary war.

Let it not be said But says somebody — by the people
reformists supposing them to have the ascendency, war, except
in the case of its being necessary war will not be
engaged in. Easy this enough this to say — not quite
so easy to be assured of. under democratic lot war less likely than under monarchists, Yes Under democratic ascendency
there would still remain remain besides the people Common the Monarch with his
Lords, all of them, with common their inbred/their appetite, hungering and
thirsting after war, instead of righteousness. Prize money Plunder, in all shapes honour
and glory, additional distant dependencies — more and more offices and honours — depredation in
all its shapes — honour and glory in all of those applicable
to the purpose of corruption — honour and glory —
pleasure of insulting and oppressing foreign nations upon the functionaries in offices high and low — all
these incentives will would be operating with unabated force: and
for producing a the correspondent inflammation in the breast
of the people in their character of Electors, no pains would
be spared.

to be assured of. Under
democratic war less likely
than under monarchic.

King and Lords
and Official establishments
remaining, no effort
would be spared to
inflame the people Electors by
honour, glory, plundering
&c.
