With adequate profit,capital is very bold.
A certain 10 per cent. will ensure its employment anywhere;
20 per cent. certain will produce eagerness;
50 per cent, positive audacity;
100 per cent. will make it ready to trample on all human laws;
300 per cent. and there is not a crime at which it will scruple nor a risk it will not run,
even to the chance of its owner being hanged. If turbulence and strife will bring a profit, it will freely encourage both Smuggling and the slave trade has amply proved all that is here stated.
