Their expense is taxed, by taxing the consumable commodities upon which it is laid out.

他们的费用是通过对支出的消费品征税来征税的。

Under the same taxes, the foreign trade of consumption, even in the taxed commodities, might in this manner be carried on with much more advantage than it is at present.

在同样的税收下，对外消费贸易，即使是被征税的商品，也可能以这种方式比现在更有利地进行。

High taxes, sometimes by diminishing the consumption of the taxed commodities, and sometimes by encouraging smuggling frequently afford a smaller revenue to government than what might be drawn from more moderate taxes.

高税收，有时是通过减少被征税商品的消费，有时是通过鼓励走私，往往为政府提供的收入比从更温和的税收中获得的收入要少。

In Ireland, therefore, the consumption of the taxed commodities might, in proportion to the number of the people, be still less than in Scotland, and the facility of smuggling nearly the same.

因此，在爱尔兰，征税商品的消费量与人口的比例可能仍低于苏格兰，而走私的便利性几乎相同。

The consumption of the taxed commodities, therefore, in proportion to the number of inhabitants, would probably be as great in America and the West Indies as in any part of the British empire.

因此，按居民人数的比例，征税商品的消费在美洲和西印度群岛可能与在大英帝国的任何地方一样多。

It is otherwise with taxes upon what I call luxuries, even upon those of the poor. The rise in the price of the taxed commodities, will not necessarily occasion any rise in the wages of labour.

对我所说的奢侈品征税，甚至是对穷人的奢侈品征税，情况就不同了。征税商品价格的上涨，不一定会引起劳动工资的上涨。
