3 § Reform indispensable causes

Behold here the
quantities on which
reform depends
1. Value of the matter of
corruption
2. Number of the expectant
sharer</note>
Here then are the two elementary quantities on which the
substitution of good government to misgovernment the new emancipation
of the p community from the system of corruption, and
misrule depends: namely the number and of the persons who
are particular of in the special interest and the quantity of the
mass of the objects of general desire operating upon their mind affection/appetites
in the character of the matter of corruption. |

Not till after deduction
of the expectant
sharers the number
of the leading politicians
non-expectant is greater
decidedly
than that of the
expectant sharer
can reform take
place.
WheneverIf ever
the number of the sharers in this special interest should be so
great with relation to the quantity of the matter of corruption
be so great w as that after deduction of those whose conduct
is determined each of them by the contemplation of so a share many shares in the
m corrupting corruptly operating/corruptants mass there should remain a derided majority
not the whose evidence is determined not by the contemplation
of a share in that same corrupt mass but in the contemplation of their
share in the universal interest, then and not till then will
the emancipation take place
