at in all times in some degree, and but in modern
a highly encreased degree a man who has in
his hands money which, be it for ever so
time he has it in his power to lodge in
hands at his choice, has it thereby in his power
extract from it a profit more or less considerable.

Here then is one interest, one sinister interest, by
in the natural and generally existing state of things,
has money of another's in his hands to dispose
or the benefit of such his principal is continually
pressed urged to engage and persevere in a line of
opposite to that of his duty: one sinister
interest – the interest of the pocket.

But this, though commonly the most stimulating
no means the only sinister interest to the action
which the probity of a man in the situation in question is stands exposed.
over money is always attended with some more or less trouble

amount susceptible of encrease.

Here then we have another sinister interest, to
duration of which the probity of every Agent and
Trustee stands exposed – the interest created
aversion to labour – by the love of ease – say in a
the interest of the pillow.

sinister interest. sinister interests. In the one case profit
or may be made to encrease run in proportion to it,
in the other case, ease: and if not always at the long
itself, at any rate the hope and shadow of it.
