Expence of punishment N.S.Wales

which would have received an increase, and
that an increase proportioned to the numbers,population
so transported. If by any surplus of such
articles as it is capable of producing it were
capable of being made to provide payment for
such articles as it is not capable of producing
it could come to the same thing as if it produced
the whole: But instead of any such
surplus though even then it would be requisite
that the value of such surplus articles
should be considerable enough in proportion
to its bulk to pay for the freight on of a voyage
of little if at all less length than double that of
an East India Voyage. But where after a
course of experiment carried on for twelve years
there still remains a deficiency, and no
determinate period hold out view by the
end of which that deficiency was is expected
to be suppliedfilled up, all calculations grounded
in the prospect of a surplus must evidently
be premature

But here a fallacy will require to be guarded against.
The actual expence of the Colony has been estimated
at £137,000 a year, issued in this Country. But it is not the Colony's furnishing
a surplus produce to the amount of £137,000
that will be an equivalent for that expence: the
surplus, to be an equivalent must be the property of
not of individualss: but of government. It must be
composed either of the real annual produce of lands and tenaments
in the hands of government, all expences paid,
or of taxes based upon an adequate mass of the pro colonial
produce the property of individuals. If levied
by a tax similar to the Colonial taxes on Sugar, say
9 in round numbers, by a 5 per Cent tax, the quantity
of surplus produce that must have been brought into <add>[+]</add> into existence for this purpose must have been -not £137,000 a year, but £2,740,000: and then would come the question how much more per cent capital employ'd in giving birth to this £2,740,000 a year in this distant colony has produced when being so employ'd. than it would have been produced had it been employ'd in Britain.
