Official Expenses
Corruption is an
Expense.
Expense of an Executive Chief called President £5,000
a year. Expense of an Executive Chief called King £1,000,000.
a year — difference £995,000 a year. Now then this said
£995,000 suppose it settled and provided: comes then the
question — how to dispose of it to the best advantage?
As to Ask Economy, This and this is what she says: Leave the
money when it is in the pockets from which would have
been taken. But if it must be taken, send it regularly
in a box to Toulon, and without being opened, let the box
be Cast cast somewhere into the sea, where it cannot be fished up.
If Then, if it does no good, at any rate it does no harm, there: All
this then will be net profit; for, given as the
Charter Charterists would give it, harm and pure harm
would be the fruit of every penny of it.
+ No deduction will
take place, alter accordingly
Here then is the additional £745,000 £953,000 a year, which all who say the
Charter is a truth will be for portions of, to pay
them for having said it.
Add to this the emoluments, of all the offices, which,
as the old King had, so would the new King would have at his disposal
will all men in whose eyes money is of any value,
then will they be racking their brains to find out what it is not that
is most likely to give him pleasure.
Just before me is ? an old woman, with a
barrow on one side of her, & that barrow full of
cats meat. There stand the pusses, tail, & eyes uplifted
to the barrow — How affectionate! how how reverential: what
would they not, every one of them do for the old gentlewoman,
to make himself agreeable?
