Notes 39 Annuity Notes 26 430 the difference in the two cases is matter of accident,
however, and does not arise out of any difference
in the nature of the two cases. The persons employed
under the Post Office as Vendors of Stamps <add>Receivers of Letters</add> are shopkeepers: the
persons employ'd as Receivers of Letters are shopkeepers
of a higher class: a class not inferior to the other
This sort of persons are the persons employ'd in
both instances: the business of the Receiver and Vendor
of Stamps is not more complicated, in any degree
shall capable of influencing the point in question
than that of the Receiver and Forwarder of Letters.
The persons employ'd about the Letters are Shopkeepers:
The persons employ'd about the stamps
are Shopkeepers of the same class, and frequently
the same individuals. It is not more difficult
to count stamps than to count letters: nor to
count money produced paid in the one account
than money paid in the other. There are indeed
more varieties in the sums received in account
of stamps than in the sums received in
account of letters. So thus the account is in a
proportionate degree more complicated. But in
each case instance the sum to be taken on account
of a stamp is stands indicated in the form of the stamp
itself: so that the complication difficulty is much less is beyond comparison
less in the instance of this Government
a commodity, than it is in the instance of the
stock
in the private stock (which forms constitutes the subject-matter
of the dealings) of the newest shopkeeper.
