turn all they have into luxury and embelllsh-
ments, besides, that moderate fortunes never
give such bad examples of vices and prodlga-
lily. In fine, this mean state OF ease becomes
more favorable to unreasonable population, one
of the great ends which ought always to be
had in view.
Republics have commonly this advantage
of commerce, being the more tree we there
never see, or at least very rarely, those mono
poles of the state, SO odious, when are only

ment of many it is founded on economy. we
may add, that it is accompanied with more Sc

posed to the strokes of authority, which over
turn OF exhaust them. The success OF COM
merce in republics is plain by great NUMBER
of examples, ancient and modern, such as
those Of the cities of Tyre, Carthage, Mar
seilles, Florence, Venice, and the Hanse
towns and still more by the degree of splen-
dor to which it has carried the United Fro
vinces, who by commerce have equalled the
most respectable powers OF Europe.
