Rationals of Reward:
§.1. Scale of Ranks
In the military department, the aggregates, with
their respective heads, exist, throughout the whole of
the scale, under military command: the scale is
therefore a scale of power. In the aggregate of all civil
departments, no such scale of power had place. Of
men in the same grade, the functions are altogether
different: while in different grades the functions are
in many instances the same. The scale then, if
of anything, is a scale – not of power, but of factitious
dignity.
Of factitious dignity in general, mention is made
in another place, and on that occasion it is shown here
ill adapted to the increase of beneficial service, and in that and every other point of view how
purely and extensively mischievous it is. A factitious
dignity is a draught drawn in favour of the dignitary
upon the people at large for a certain portion of their
respect. As such, it supposes a drawer. But the people
(such is their weakness) being from infancy accustomed
to pay the amount of their tribute to whoever professes
the draught, it is received by everybody for its nominal
value, and payment accordingly made to the same
amount, without any regard to service in any shape.
It is therefore as ill adapted as any other object of desire
can be, to any such purpose as that of giving increase to
the stock of generally useful public services the use to
which it is less liable, less adapted than money, in the
answering the individual purposes of him, whoever he
be, by whom the draught is made.
Whatever be the hands by whom it is drawn,
the application made of it will be the purchase of
service in some shape or other, for the particular
and exclusive benefit of the drawer.
