Codification Offer

'.9. Draughtsman gratuitous

To the case of a Representative Democracy - such for example as that of the Anglo-American united States - this observation does not apply: at any rate not to equal extent. No public money in any shape separate from official situation could by a Committee of the Representative body either of the Union or of any particular State be given to any individual for the service in question: neither in an immediate way by them nor by their procurement could the draughtsman be invested with an office from which he might /could/ not be removed by the application, immediate or unimmediate, of the power of the body of the people: no room could /can/ there be for any hope of palming upon the subject many by and for the benefit of the operating and ruling few any arrangements by which their interest would be sacrificed by and for the benefit of the ruling few: of reward in any shape for any sinister service in any shape from the only hands from which it could come no prospect could the draughtsman /workman/ in any shape could come: at the same time by /from/ the obstruction /exclusion/ of factitious reward in every shape the value of the natural reward in the only shape in which it has place would in the eyes of the workman in question encreased /receive encrease/: to the extent of his intellectual and active faculty his endeavours would therefore be to give to his work in each part of it that quality by which it would be rendered conclusive in the highest degree possible to the greatest happiness of the greatest number that all-comprehensive end which it is so continually necessary to bring back /again and again/ to view.

By the above considerations alone - all of them deduced from the observation of the influence of the reward in question on the goodness of the service it is employed for the extraction of - by the above sober considerations alone, and not by any unreflecting sentimentalism has the veto thus put upon reward been produced. To the value of money the author is no less sensible, than those are who for the procurement of it are so ready to consign men by thousands to speedy death by fire and sword, and to lingering death by famine. With unfeigned gratitude he would accordingly, supposing the work compleated, accept from willing donors individually and separately, contributing, money from each to any amount from the lowest denomination of coin to the greatest sum which any individual could take pleasure in thus disposing of. Not a ribbon of the number of those which are worn about men's shoulders - not a ribbon of that sort, of any colour, from any hand, would he refuse bowing for it being previously understood, that in his opinion the greatest happiness of the greatest number would be much the more effectually promoted were all such ribbons dragged through the kennel in the lump and then burnt by the hands of the common hangman, than by being bestowed in requital of the most meritorious service for which reward in this shape was ever granted. Only in so far as those, at whose instance it would have been bestowed would be otherwise than desirous to see it thus bestowed, does aversion to reward in any shape maintain a place in his mind.
