I have proved, that if the number of 

 draught cattle was no greater than neccllary, 

 it would be an addition to product of very 

 near four millions; or one half of the a- 

 mount of taxes. 



Improving the breed of fheep, in a mo- 

 derate degree, would be attended with an 

 addition of above ten millions; and yet we 

 are told that this nation is half ruined by 

 the weight of taxes. 



Thefe, and a few other improvements, 

 none extravagant or improbable, and exclu- 

 five of the cultivation of wafte lands, would 

 yield an addition to product of thirty" 

 millions. If tythcs were rendered a per- 

 manent tax, it would add five more, at the 

 lowed poffible computation. With iuch an 

 improveable eftate we are taught to tremble 

 at eight millions in taxes*! 



But let us, for a moment, enlarge the 

 fphere of our difcourfe, and take a traniient 

 view of the whole kingdom.

* Creating a new income, is enabling the nation to 

 pay nearly the total of the addition, in taxeb : As ex- 

 travagant as the faft would be, yet the ability is the 

 lame, and undoubted.
