Sinecures

From this one property therefore, viz. perpetuity –
common to all sinecures to every article upon the sinecure list
from this one property, independently of every other, follows
in the first place perpetuity of waste; the perpetuity
of a fund mass of public money destined, as often as it
is bestowed, to be bestowed in waste.

But from this one primary mischief of the first order, results
four distinguishable secondary mischiefs, all which
as we proceed advance will be seen to flow from it. These
are 1. rise raising in the price of real services – 2. preventing prevention
to an incalculable extent the rendering of real services
such as the public stands in need of – prevention and
that to an incalculable extent: 3. encrease of the means of profusion
lavished on Court favorites – Court and ministerial
favorites destitute of all public merit 4. encrease of corruption, parliamentary corruption by encrease of the or species of the stock of the
matter or efficient cause of corruption in a form peculiarly adapted to
the production of it.
