(4.)

If, to any person, the truth of the here averred
encrease, of the ratio of loss to profit, on each instance
of past separation, presents itself as
exposed

Note (a) contin.d

6. Annual aggregate of such particular Expenditure
for the 20 provinces will thus be R.V. 200,000,000.

7. Antecedently to any separation, total
annual amount of universally-applying
and particularly-applying expenditure
together will thus be —— 400,000,000.
Thus as to expenditure: in the language of Book-keeping,
loss.

Now as to profit: since for the purpose of the argument
in despite of probability, existence of a profit
must be supposed. Antecedently to the first separation,
profit (say) exactly equal to loss: say then R.V
400,000,000.

1. State of the account at the end of the first year, after
separation of the province first separated.
Total Expenditure —— 390,000,000
Total Receipt —— 380,000,000.
Ratio of loss to profit as 39. to 38.

2. On the second separation, it will be as 38 to 36: that is, as
19. to 18.

3. On the third separation, as 37. to 34.

4. On the fourth as 36. to 32: that is as 18. to 16; or 9. to 8.
To continue the series any further would be needless.
From what has been seen, it will be sufficiently
evident that, at the point of time immediately preceding
the last separation of the twenty, the ratio of loss
to profit will have been as 20. to 1.

End of the note.
