Rationale of Reward

§ Pensions of Retreat
p.186 Gold no antiseptic Review by

It might be were too much perhaps to say — that, in no state of things,
can depredation, at the expence of individuals, or even at the expence of the public, be to a greater
amount, prevented, by increase given to official salaries

It With confidence, however, may two two things may be affected:
1. One is —that by no such increase can any prevention effect be produced,
approaching though it are<add>were</add>at ever or just in distance. which to that which may be produced by letting in
upon all government operation special casesspecial cause of exception excepted,
the full light of the public eye.

2. Another thing is - that if, from so paradoxicalparadoxical a source
any improvement to any amount be indeed capable of being derived, not only must
liberality have been preceded by signal blindness, but that the
the range of the improvement must be already limited confined
within very narrow limits.

Causes Conceive for example application made to EnglandEngland of the
supposed Prussian plan plan the increase of revenue. Suppose To all special salaries
suppose an addition made of one half: by this librallyliberality
would the reported an addition of a third be much to the public review? and these too without
addition to the taxes? True it is, that, in one part of the English establishment
would you at present find a salary insufficient salary insufficient for bri and thus". But
that must be understood not literally, but as the pleasure to - as for the a way of speaking. [+] Nor on the other hand
would you find many, who would alt
our one ca of thing
who, on condition
of receiving each of them to the amount
of half, or to any other
amount less is greater,
an addition to his
present emolument
would not be ready
to aver three things:
1. that the service attached
to his office was extremely
well performed by him;
2 that the value of it was
equal to the value
of whatever remuneration
he received for it: 3. that from the proposed addition the benefit received by the public would more than counter balance the burthen of the expence.

functionary in whose solution the salary were so high as to be
upon a part with the value of the service.

of this would have every man orevery man and then then made the appearance

And as to Judges though nothing of the kind in case to be to applauded
from any such honest persons yet in that can in his
