Radicalism not dangerous II Nsture of the case
? ( 4§.iv.<note>. Sponge

From p.2.

When the advantages from the any such in any way extinction are brought to view.
first came the taking off of the taxes, then the lowering of the prices
of goods commodities to the p from which they were it was raised by
the taxes. ButUnfortunately the first result is not by a great by no means that so
speedy as imagination is wont to point it But in a proportion
When taxes are taken off there remain the tax gatherer
and the Clerks to be provided for and thus it is that it is only as a tru
annuity increases that that part of the burthen of taxation
which is composed of the expence of collection can be increaseddiminished
The tax gatherers and Clerks may indeed be turned out to starve: and
for a warrant for so dealing by them, some bad name or other
may might be attached to them. But by neith by this bad name embane
neither with themthe sensibility of the individuals to suffering be diminished, nor the part which
they can their happiness constitutes of the universal happiness
nor their right to have as much regard shewn to have their happiness consulted as as to
that of an equal number of other persons.

Take the Look at the whole community over scarcl scarcely
will you find that description of persons for whom some bad name
might not be found of it or other has not been found: now
whatever for which a name of that sort might not be found.
But to findmake any such pretence for evil doing requires no more
ingenuity than nor so much time as the tying a canister to
the tail of a dog for the purpose of torturing tormenting him

Such is the sad effect of profusion: that evil, of which with
so many others the offence of Monarchy is compared.
The expenditure, with its burthen is the work of an
instant: suppose relief to cause half a century may have elapsed, and still the
exoneration is not compleat.

Just so, or worn, it is with armies. Raise them you may in
a few da months: disband them you may in the compass of a day
But as to exoneration from the expence oh no: half a century
may have elapsed, and still the relief exoneration remains incompleat.Here
