Lett. 3. Ultramarian Submission profit none.
13.
Each source of profit you
will see is illusory.
1. The unchangeable nature
of the relations between
the countries excludes continuance of any profit
long enough to defray the
expence: 2 Code
ind etails the very commencement.
14.
1. General Nature of the relations.
By Code, perfect equality
as between European
Spain and Ultramaria
is assumed: each a part
of Spain: all Spaniards:
in this assumption identity
of interest is implied.
15.
But with such equality
all dominion of one over
the other – all profit to one
at the expence of the other,
is incompatible: cost of
extraction is dead loss.
16.
With the profit to Spain,
suppose correspondent
profit to Ultramaria
from the connection, not
from the dominion, does
it come: to engage a many
to reap profit, no dominion
is necessary: the
profit suffices.
Per J.B.
dominion relinquished,
from the connection profit
greater.

Lett. 3. Ultramarian Submission profit none.
17.
From profession of equality,
accompanied with
the establishment of inequality,
follows disappointment,
irritation:
reproach of insincerity
and injustice.
18.
Dilemma.
Equality maintained,
profit none: equality
violated, union & peace
none: instead of profit
war expence.
19.
Vain all attempt to disguise
the unequality, the
coercion, by any form given
to it: direct or indirect,
tax will still be tax:
by barrenness of a prohibition,
its odiousness will
not be lessened but enervated.
20.
Imposed on all, a burthen
will be felt and resisted
by all: imposed on the influential
few, it will be
imposed on them whose
facilities for resistance are
greatest.
21.
To prepare you, this in
generals. Follow details
and proofs.
22.
Mentioned here two supposable
sources of advantage,
lest they should be
thought overlooked.
1. Crown patrimony in Ultramaria.
Plea: from no individual
should his patrimony
be taken: much less
from the King.

Lett. 3. Ultramarian Submission profit none.
23.
Answer. Dilemma.
Income small, not worth
contending for: do. large, it
should belong to the country
in which it is situated,
in which the labour yielding
it was bestowed: in
which the expence of defending
it is defrayed. By
that country, if sent out
of it, no benefit can be
reaped from it: no correspondent
relief from
taxes: to no eye in Ultramaria
is the splendour
produced by the expenditure
visible.
24.
2. Men for military service.
Dilemma. Expatriation,
– if voluntary, can not be
without expence greater
than profit: if involuntary
is banishment with
forced labour for no offence.
