[3rd col] What is degree. The object of an equalisation system? is not that many should have less than they have, but that many should have more. WHat would be the result?

...

LINE

What is the object of such a system of this for consistently persued: perfect and perpetual equality ... it is not that this is that man would see nobody above him and that nobody should: it is not that ...

[4th col] An equalisation law of recasional only would not come up to its object: it would be productive of misery in abundance and all that industry would be in waste. If permanent it would not be similarly injurious to industry. but radically destructive of it ... So long as a rough thorn in the fabric remained upon account its operation would not be at an end. So long as any one man ... land full of corn more than any [/his neighbours] other the legal privilege must go on: at must be distributed grain by grain or thing as many as ...

[5th col]

These for we have nothing worse than simple misery: the most ... is to abolish destruction. Who would sow if nobody were to reap or what is worse, if those who had performed ... the one task nor the other were to carry away the largest of the ... from him who had performed both?

[6th col]

Community of goods One [/palpably] practicable scheme only remains under the domination of the equalisation principle, a community of goods. Every other scheme woud be false ad unfit ... as the next defence to ... itself. Thi would only be [/destructive] fatal to liberty.

A thorough develler is a man of which be such a man whose the ... of envy has swallows up every other: . a man ... [/the] hatred ... he bears to others has got the better of their love for others to himself ... where so long as for saw gladly who was better of than him would ... content not to be better off than any body above himself on the scale of [/opulence] property would be content to see himself above nobody [/not to be anbody] ... who would s.... so as he could ... leave of fear ...

oh but all these are but instruments of luxury the abuse of which far frmo being a life would be a riddance to the commonwealth

[8th col]

oh but all this exaggerated and intractable this is not s... equalisation, it is equality run amok

what we mean is a system of equalisation not exaggerated like this but mediately? practicable?

There is no such thing ... you must do what is impracticable, or you do nothing ... where you will you can stop no where for any reason, which would not with equal ... have forced you to begin ...

In the first place there is no reason to be given [/found] why any have should be deprived at all, in the next place, it would be negligible to find any one given found at which to draw it.

Every step you take in the carrier of equalisation makes the demand for a new step not less urgent, butmore so.
