A Middlesex Journal piece denounces lotteries as ruinous to morals and commerce. It argues public money via tickets fuels gambling, corrupts liberty, and boosts ministerial power, urging readers to resist supporting such schemes and defend genuine public finance.
The piece argues that other fundraising methods impose compulsion yet this method relies on voluntary weakness and folly. It accuses readers of forging their own chains through free choice and questions why they should oppose ministerial measures when they can refuse by action. The call ends with a note that the discussion continues at the next session.
