4 New Wales Public Wealth
and the powers of laying taxes on the imports into
the Colony is only coextensive extends no further than with the weakness
and the folly of the Colonists.
If the nature of trade with Colonies were
that the Colonists gave their the produce of their country commodities greater
and the merchant of the mother country got
the goods for nothing, dominion over colonies
might still be of advantage in the way of trade.
Unfortunately for this system the Colonist is as
little disposed to give his goods for nothing as
the Merchant in the Mother Country is to give
his. Each gets as much as he can and
each gets as much as the other, so that in time
more is not got for by belonging to the governing them
for belonging to the governed nation, nor any thing by either.
If the dealers in the Colony were restricted
in their dealings to a single customer
in the mother country that customs might gain
by them more than they gained by him: for having
no competitor to raise his rate of profit
as high as he pleased to the extent of the limits set
to it by the faculty of smuggling: and the case
would be nearly the same and were the masters monopoly over so many heads a Company with. But except the old East Indies
assumed the of a Company
