Postscript on cheap government and industry spirit
The piece argues that cheap goods require a large, self-sustaining populace and condemns idle lifestyles and beggary. It asserts wealth comes from workers who earn livelihoods, with manufacturers and sailors adding to the public stock, while beggars and servants are useless. It notes Madrid’s paving, Clive appointed captain, escapes from the Tower, Jamaica letters about a rebel slave leader, a public pillory incident, and ship arrivals with weekly mortality and stock figures amid a naval convoy and market reports.
