drink better wine ; manufactures aie Drought to greater perfection, and I wear finer clothes. The art oi pleasing the taste by more delicate seasonings, makes me eveiy day enjoy a ikher repast tka . the royal festivals ot Huh Capet. It a sick person was to desire to be conveyed from one home to another, he was obliged to nuke use ot a cart, while 1 cjusc myself to be carried in a commodious and agreeable coach, in which 1 enjoy the pleasure of the light without being incommoded by the wind. It retires no more money in a kingdom to suspend a box of painted wood or leather; ic icquiics only industry, and so of .the rest. They are certainly rich who enjoy ailtheje advantages which industry alone procures. A kingdom is not therefore enriched by money, but by genius, 1 mean, the genius which conducts the ia. bor ot industry. Commerce produces the same effects as the labor ot tnc hands. It contributes to the pleasuie uf my life, it i have occasion for sonic pieces of work made in the Indies, or some natural production only to be found at Ccyion or Ternate. thcie wants nuke me poor, but i become licti when they become gratified by commeice. I did not want go:d and ilvcr, but coffee ami cinnrmon. But those who at the haxaid of their lives ail six thousand leagues for me to drink colfce, are only those that may be spared out of the laboiious part of the na.ion. Riches therefore consists in the grejt number ot men inuied to labor. The end of a wist gov-eminent-, is therefore evidently multiplying the people and giving encouragement to labor. The best government is that in which there are the fewest useless men. Prom whence does it proceed tint there have been nation-, who while they had less money than wr luve at present, have iu.mori.d'izrd their memory by works which we dare not imitate ? i( is ci ent that their government was better administeicd thjn ouis, since it gae greater encouragement to industry. 4 Taxes are necessary, and the best method of raiding them is that which best promotes labor agd commerce. A voluntary tax is hurtful. Nothing but charity ought to be voluntary, but in a well regulated ttatc there ought to be no room for charity. Paper money is to ipecie what ipecie U to mere merchandize, a representation, a medium oi exchange. Money useful, because it is more easy to pay tor a sheep with a pistole, than to give for a hcep lour p.iir of stockings. It is in the same manner more easy for a receiver of Piovencc to iend four hundred thousand livers to the treasury in a letter than to cause that sum to be ient at a greater expense in specic---hencc, a bank and bills of credit arc useful.
