Sinecures

If the interest of the purse were the only interest that
required to be considered, an enquiry into the emolument
of any office could have but one or other of two beneficial
practical results uses: viz. to abolish the emolument
of the office, or to diminish it.

But when no sooner is the good of the service taken into
consideration than it becomes evident that an a third
practical use presents itself as one that may eventually
come to be deduced – and that is to encrease the
emolument.

If in any line of service an additional quantity
of service is become necessary, and that of a sort which can
not be had without money, here instead of abolition
of existing offices comes a demand for the creation of new ones.
And, in regard to the military branch of public service, not to speak of others
As Such has for a long time been, or been thought
to be, continually the case.

To abolish strike off existing offices, or for the sake of abolishing striking
off the expence of the emolument, to strike off the offices themselves –
to diminish take from the emolument of existing offices – or
encrease add to it or to add to the number of existing offices
attaching by creating new ones, attaching to each its
allotment of emolument – such then are the practical
results to any one of which it may happen to be prescribed requested
by an attentive a considerate enquiry into the emolument of
offices.
