III. Different dependencies. The whole expence of the Official
Establishment and aggregate of the material stock employed
in the maintenance of the power exercised over the inhabitants
of territories or citizens
When the expence of the military force by land
and sea together kept up for the defence of the distant dependency
in question is taken into account, it may be questioned
whether in the instance of any nation sending out a Colony
the money extracted from it and employed in lieu of so
much money that would otherwise to have been extracted
by taxes from the inhabitants of the ruling country has in any instance
been so great as the expence. In general the loss on this
account has been prodigious and is in future boundless.
Suppose for example in this or that instance suppose
for example that hitherto this th powe rhas to the and
profit of the ruling country been a source of net profit as
above. Still it is not in the nature of the case that it should
long continue so to be. Over the inhabitants of the distant dependency
in question such profit power can not be exercised – from them
and at their expence such profit can not be extracted, without
oppression manifest injury done to them without manifest
oppression exercised over upon them. No sooner do they view in the is the case viewed by them
case in its true light than they will resent the injury, and form
a determination, and an endeavour to relieve disburthen themselves
from it. If to after this the maintenance of the power of the ruling
people, or rather of the rulers of the ruling people is persevered in,
here then is war, civil war: a war the expence of which encreases
with the distance in respect of place and thence of time between the country
subject to the dominion
and that subject of it country
which is the head of it.
