In this excerpt from "a modest proposal" by johnathan swift, what does the author list?
i can think of no one objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it should be urged, that the number of people will
be thereby much lessened in the kingdom. this i freely own, and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. i desire the
reader will observe, that i calculate my remedy for this one individual kingdom of ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or, i think, ever
can be upon earth. therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: of using neither
cloaths, nor houshold furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture: of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that
promote foreign luxury: of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: of introducing a vein of
parsimony, prudence and temperance: of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from laplanders, and the inhabitants of
topinamboo: of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the jews, who were murdering one another at the very
moment their city was taken: of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: of teaching landlords to have at
least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, and skill into our shop-keepers, who, if a
resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure,
and the goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair proposal of just dealing, though often and earnestly invited to it.
