Mercy To The Guilty Is Cruelty To

China Is A Much Richer Country Than Any Part Of Europe.

We Rarely Hear, It Has Been Said, Of The Combinations [that Is, Unions Or Colluding Organizations] Of Masters, Though Frequently Of Those Of Workmen. But Whoever Imagines, Upon This Account, That Masters Rarely Combine, Is As Ignorant Of The World As Of The Subject. Masters Are Always And Everywhere In A Sort Of Tacit, But Constant And Uniform Combination, Not To Raise The Wages Of Labor Above Their Actual Price.

It Is Not From The Benevolence Of The Butcher, The Brewer, Or The Baker That We Expect Our Dinner, But From Their Regard To Their Own Interest.

The Natural Price, Therefore, Is, As It Were, The Central Price, To Which The Prices Of All Commodities Are Continually Gravitating.

Sugar, Rum And Tobacco Are Commodities Which Are Nowhere Necessaries Of Life, Which Are Become Objects Of Almost Universal Consumption, And Which Are Therefore Extremely Proper Subjects Of Taxation.
