company_n in_o joint-stock_n unnecessary_a and_o inconvenient_a free_a trade_n to_o india_n in_o a_o regulate_v company_n the_o interest_n of_o england_n discourse_v in_o a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n sir_n in_o obedience_n to_o your_o command_n i_o shall_v here_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n as_o to_o trade_n manage_v in_o joynt-stock_n and_o particular_o that_o to_o india_n all_o joynt-stock_n in_o trade_n be_v in_o themselves_o a_o monopoly_n though_o some_o be_v more_o extensive_a than_o other_o as_o take_v in_o more_o person_n at_o the_o first_o constitution_n but_o they_o come_v in_o time_n by_o purchase_n or_o otherwise_o into_o few_o hand_n as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o present_a east-india_n company_n the_o african_a company_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o east-india_n company_n of_o holland_n the_o jew_n and_o a_o few_o of_o the_o state_n and_o other_o rich_a man_n have_v the_o large_a share_n of_o that_o stock_n which_o to_o my_o knowledge_n for_o that_o and_o other_o reason_n be_v there_o account_v a_o grievance_n all_o trade_n ought_v to_o be_v free_a and_o under_o no_o constraint_n this_o be_v every_o subject_n natural_a right_n joynt-stock_n and_o other_o limitation_n of_o trade_n tend_v chief_o to_o the_o enrich_n of_o a_o few_o in_o prejudice_n to_o the_o general_a good_a of_o a_o nation_n subject_v it_o to_o a_o double_a tax_n for_o such_o monopolist_n buy_v the_o native_a growth_n and_o manufacture_n cheap_a at_o home_n and_o sell_v the_o foreign_a which_o they_o import_n dear_a to_o the_o subject_a which_o practice_n in_o both_o kind_n can_v be_v prove_v upon_o the_o present_a east-india_n and_o african_a company_n and_o i_o be_o incline_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o late_a raise_v pepper_n in_o england_n sell_v former_o at_o six_o penny_n and_o seven_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n to_o sixteen_o penny_n per_fw-la pound_n may_v have_v be_v a_o contrivance_n between_o some_o great_a man_n concern_v in_o the_o dutch_a east-india_n company_n and_o other_o of_o we_o here_o which_o same_o practice_n i_o doubt_v not_o be_v use_v to_o raise_v calico_n and_o other_o east-india_n good_n sell_v in_o holland_n and_o here_o at_o this_o time_n for_o double_a and_o most_o of_o they_o treble_v the_o usual_a and_o former_a prize_n and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o particular_n may_v joynt-stock_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o tax_n upon_o the_o people_n whereas_o a_o free_a market_n for_o buy_v and_o sell_v will_v exempt_v they_o from_o it_o this_o sir_n be_v sufficient_a to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o joynt-stock_n in_o trade_n be_v a_o national_a evil_n and_o that_o however_o they_o may_v have_v be_v useful_a in_o the_o infancy_n of_o foreign_a trade_n and_o permit_v in_o prospect_n of_o a_o future_a national_a benefit_n yet_o at_o this_o time_n when_o we_o of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v arrive_v at_o the_o utmost_a degree_n of_o experience_n in_o commerce_n with_o all_o country_n even_o the_o most_o distant_a and_o that_o our_o mariner_n be_v the_o most_o expert_a in_o the_o universe_n and_o we_o have_v stock_n enough_o to_o carry_v on_o as_o well_o as_o to_o increase_v our_o trade_n and_o navigation_n i_o can_v see_v any_o reason_n why_o the_o subject_n shall_v be_v clog_v by_o joynt-stock_n to_o the_o general_a damage_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o i_o have_v before_o make_v evident_a have_v give_v my_o thought_n of_o joynt-stock_n as_o combination_n and_o monopoly_n in_o general_a i_o shall_v now_o consider_v they_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o future_a management_n of_o the_o trade_n to_o india_n which_o i_o shall_v be_v glad_a can_v be_v leave_v free_a to_o all_o as_o most_o trade_n in_o europe_n be_v but_o few_o allow_v that_o to_o be_v feasible_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v since_o a_o joint-stock_n have_v and_o will_v always_o have_v such_o ill_a consequence_n that_o this_o trade_n as_o that_o to_o turkey_n and_o other_o may_v be_v manage_v by_o a_o regulate_v company_n whereby_o all_o the_o mischief_n of_o a_o joint-stock_n will_v be_v remove_v and_o very_o great_a advantage_n accrue_v to_o the_o public_a and_o the_o better_a to_o explain_v myself_o i_o will_v lay_v before_o you_o what_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o favour_n of_o a_o joint-stock_n against_o a_o company_n regulate_v a_o free_a trade_n to_o india_n with_o my_o answer_n to_o they_o question_n i._o under_o a_o regulation_n how_o can_v the_o fort_n and_o island_n of_o st._n helena_n and_o bombay_n fort_n st._n george_n and_o bencoelen_n now_o in_o the_o company_n possession_n be_v pay_v for_o and_o afterterwards_o maintain_v answer_n i._o a_o regulate_v company_n must_v have_v power_n to_o make_v levy_n on_o ship_n that_o go_v to_o india_n either_o here_o or_o there_o to_o raise_v money_n for_o freedom_n and_o if_o occasion_n be_v by_o loan_n at_o interest_n or_o gratis_o of_o all_o that_o will_v be_v of_o the_o company_n sufficient_a for_o the_o purchase_n the_o present_a company_n dead_a stock_n as_o ammunition_n etc._n etc._n according_a to_o a_o equitable_a valuation_n by_o indifferent_a man_n choose_v on_o both_o side_n and_o for_o the_o future_a support_n of_o their_o ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a charge_n even_o as_o the_o turkey_n company_n do_v for_o the_o maintain_v a_o ambassador_n at_o the_o ottoman_a court_n consul_n minister_n and_o other_o officer_n at_o their_o several_a port_n of_o trade_n there_o as_o well_o as_o at_o home_n which_o together_o with_o present_n make_v frequent_o to_o the_o grand_a signior_n and_o his_o minister_n amount_v yearly_o to_o a_o great_a many_o thousand_o pound_n and_o as_o much_o as_o perhaps_o will_v bear_v the_o needful_a charge_n in_o india_n for_o in_o reality_n fort_n st._n george_n and_o bombay_n be_v of_o little_a or_o no_o use_n to_o the_o company_n or_o trade_n of_o india_n and_o a_o great_a many_o think_v they_o have_v better_o quit_v they_o as_o the_o dutch_a have_v late_o policat_a a_o strong_a place_n near_o fort_n st._n george_n and_o the_o only_a fort_n they_o have_v any_o where_o in_o all_o the_o mogul_n dominion_n not_o think_v it_o worth_a their_o charge_n to_o keep_v it_o for_o while_o they_o be_v in_o peace_n they_o will_v be_v protect_v by_o the_o mogul_n in_o his_o country_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v again_o return_v to_o the_o folly_n of_o warring_n with_o that_o prince_n they_o can_v defend_v or_o keep_v they_o against_o one_o of_o the_o great_a monarch_n in_o the_o world_n quest_n ii_o what_o security_n can_v be_v have_v of_o those_o people_n in_o india_n when_o you_o trust_v they_o with_o your_o money_n for_o make_v investment_n answ_n ii_o the_o same_o security_n as_o the_o present_a company_n have_v the_o honesty_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o government_n for_o the_o company_n trust_v most_o and_o their_o great_a investment_n be_v make_v where_o they_o have_v no_o fort_n as_o at_o all_o the_o subordinate_a factory_n on_o the_o coast_n of_o cormandell_n in_o bengall_n and_o at_o surat_n and_o the_o factory_n under_o that_o presidency_n and_o though_o great_a sum_n have_v be_v trust_v to_o those_o people_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o example_n of_o their_o have_v commit_v any_o violence_n upon_o our_o person_n or_o estate_n but_o we_o have_v have_v always_o justice_n do_v we_o and_o better_a treatment_n then_o from_o european_a government_n and_o in_o turkey_n great_a sum_n upon_o mere_a pretence_n have_v be_v extort_a from_o that_o company_n by_o tyrannical_a bashaw_n cady_n and_o other_o officer_n civil_a and_o military_a quest_n iii_o will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o ruin_v the_o trade_n and_o lessen_v the_o exportation_n of_o our_o manufacture_n and_o growth_n answ_n iii_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o merchant_n of_o england_n be_v great_o incline_v in_o all_o their_o commerce_n to_o export_v our_o own_o manufacture_n and_o vend_v they_o at_o reasonable_a

it_o have_v be_v sell_v so_o cheap_a that_o we_o have_v almost_o exclude_v from_o that_o trade_n the_o french_a and_o dutch_a and_o the_o same_o upon_o a_o regulation_n will_v be_v do_v in_o india_n much_o better_a than_o by_o a_o joint-stock_n for_o particular_n can_v and_o will_v be_v oblige_v to_o fell_v for_o little_a profit_n and_o the_o present_a east-india_n company_n as_o a_o excuse_n for_o their_o have_v late_o permit_v armenian_n and_o other_o particular_a merchant_n to_o export_v to_o india_n our_o manufacture_n pay_v they_o 12_o per_fw-la cent._n for_o the_o licence_n allege_v
