Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively

S.11. Remuneration

Art. 5. Minimization of expence is therefore one object here pursued, not only as being itself an end, but as being a means of attainment, with relation to that other end. Hand in hand accordingly goes the pursuit of both ends in and by the arrangements, which will be seen in S.12 as above.

Art.6. So far as regards remuneration, minimization of expence, in relation to all, can no otherwise be effected, than by minimization in relation to each. In relation to each, in each official situation, note this rule. Having by appropriate causes as per. S.12, maximized the number of persons possessed of the maximum of appropriate aptitude, ascertain from each the minimum of remuneration, for which he will be content to charge himself with the official obligation. Modes of ascertainment are every where in practice. Competition is no less applicable to the price of labour than to the price of goods: to one sort of labour, than to another. So much for minimization of expence, separately considered. As to the arrangements of detail, for the union of minimization of expence, with maximization of aptitude, see the two next sections S.12 Locable who, S.13. Located how.
