Admission fees – fees receivable on the appointment of
persons to beneficial offices official situations or commissions – possess have
this advantage, viz. that the burthen falling exactly at
he time of the receipt of a preponderant benefit, the sense
of it is lessened alleviated by that circumstance by means of that such
association alleviated: joyful the man would be without
the drawback tax, and joyful he still is notwithstanding the tax.

So much as is the aggregate amount of the fees receivable
on any such account by any individual office,
so much in the quantum of the emolument attached to it
his office is or might be saved.

But if saving, viz. to the revenue be the object,
that object would not the less effectually be established, if
instead of allowing so much an admission to the office
or commission to be taken in fees by this or that other individual
officer, so much were on the account for the benefit of the public, deducted
on that occasion from the salary attached to the office.
