Of the whole mass of /correspondent/ expence and profit the advantages entire and without abatement and constantly into the pocket of the individual and the greater the expece of this part is to the people the smaller the profit of the rulers /ruling few/ is not merely correspondent to Cost exactly equal to the expence and correspondent burthen imposed upon the people.

2. Profit entering indirectly into the pockets of the rulers Profit received by that /correspondent/ class of rulers by /from/ whom the receptive subordinates receive their appointments.

Here /is given/ in the case /situation/ of the subordinates the profit to the ruler is not merely correspondent but equal to the loss to the people.

But attached to this profit, which is peculiar to the subordinates, there is another which belongs to the superordinates: namey the pecuniary profit of patronage: that part of the profit of patronage that part which is in the shape of money. This profit may in the instance /case/ of each subordinate this profit may be so high as to be equal, or it may by any amount fall short of being so.

    3. Profit of patronage by vendors or leaders profit on goods moveables or immoveables supplied /furnished/ for the use of government: for the use of the public under the management of the /these same/ rulers. As it is commonly through the intervention of a contract that the articles in question are supplied, this branch of official profit may be termed profit of patronage in the case of contracts.

    In this case the utmost personal profit capable of being made by the patron is equal not to the whole value and price of the goods but only to the whole of the mercantile profit made on them by the immediate furnishers with whom the official patron deals. It is in regard the case of profit of patronage derived from this cource is on the same case as profit of patronage derived from official pay: in the one case as well as in the other in so far as by the money put into the pocket of the protegé the patron, saves an equal sum from being taken out of his own, that, which is as appearance profit to the protegé is in fact profit made it is evident is not quite so apt to find its way into the pocket of the patron, as the profit made on the official pay /as above on official pay/ of subordinate nominees

    But in both cases /instances/ in the more common case /state of things/ the profit made by the protegé whether in the shape of official pay or in the shape of profit on goods furnished goes entire into the pocket of the protegé: and so far as this is the case /has place/ the sort of double profit as above has place: in the situation of the protegé, profit in the shape of money; in the situation of the patron profit in the shape of power viz. power of patronage or power encreased by exercise of patronage.
