.2. Creoles unwilling

2.4. Subrulers intolerable

Well now - this state of things suppose it to have place in any one of the provinces. When the expence of this military force is defrayed which, by the supposition, the population of the province being hostile, could not be defrayed from any other funds than those created by taxes and paid in Spain, where would be the expected saving in the amount of those same taxes? But sooner or later does it not appear unavoidable that, if any such taxes in the one quarter for the saving of taxes in another be \ZS\ upon, sooner or later, it can not but have place in all the provinces?

. .2. to Subrulers unendurable A.

So much as to the prospect of profit to subject many and ruling few in Spain in so far as depends submission on the part of the subject many in the Ultramarian provinces, or rather the subject many and the ruling and influential few taken together.

Now as to the prospect of profit to subject many in Spain in so far as depends on submission on the part of the ruling and influential few - the ruling class in these same provinces.

From official emolument from official situations with the profit /emolument power/ and honour attached to them but more particularly the emolument (for upon power and honour alone how preeminent /transcendant/ so ever man can not live) from this source can any adequate benefit in any shape adequate to the probable expence as above be reasonably be looked for in Spain by the ruling few?

The answer ventured /hazarded/ has already been in the negative. With exceptions to a certain extent /but/ constituting a small amount in proportion to the whole, antecedently to the change the whole /great/ mass of official emolument afforded by /attached to the duty of which are performed/ offices possessed in the Ultramarian provinces had in fact and practice been conferred to Spaniards: to men altogether unknown in the provinces in question, and sent out from Spain for the /undisguised/ professed purpose of receiving that emolument in the provinces at the expence of the inhabitants.
