11. Example. England.

I Government repugnant. Exciseman's pay ,100. For a bribe of ,│   │, he connives at a fraudulent operation by which manufacturer saves ,100: loss to Government, i.e. to Community, ,100. Bribe-giver, or corruptor here, the manufacturer: functionary corrupted, the Exciseman.

12. II Government accordant. Chief of State's pay in U.S. ,5525: Superfluous or not, this sufficient. Demand for addition none: nor evil, for want of addition, alledged.

Anglice? ,1,000,000. demand, intelligible or justifiable, for any more than the above ,5,000, none. Source of the pay, money from unwilling contributors: by all, proportionable loss felt. So much loss felt, so much evil, or those in whose eyes the production of it is justifiable rests the burthen of justifying it.

13. This not done nor doable, sinister sacrifice ,995,000. Corrupted and Corruptors Monarch and the members of the two coordinate bodies. Act prohibited or made punishable, none. Remedy, none but by substitution of the only justifiable form of Government to this unjustifiable one, as above.

15. Seen below, in regard to each of several securities for do. aptitude, employment given to them under English Government, either none or a minimum - thence in the whole Anglici appropriate moral aptitude minimized.
