This condition carried the bill through; for the members, who had oppos'd the grant, and now conceiv'd they might have the credit of being charitable without the expence, agreed to its passage; and then, in soliciting subscriptions among the people, we urg'd the conditional promise of the law as an additional motive to give, since every man's donation would be doubled; thus the clause work'd both ways. The subscriptions accordingly soon exceeded the requisite sum, and we claim'd and receiv'd the public gift, which enabled us to carry the design into execution. A convenient and handsome building was soon erected; the institution has by constant experience been found useful, and flourishes to this day; and I do not remember any of my political manœuvres, the success of which gave me at the time more pleasure, or wherein, after thinking of it, I more easily excus'd myself for having made some use of cunning.

白话
这个条件让法案顺利通过:原先反对拨款的议员现在觉得可以不花钱就落个慈善名声,便同意通过;随后向民众募捐时,我们又拿法律的有条件承诺当额外动力——每人的捐款都会因政府配捐而翻倍,条款两头都起作用。认捐很快超过所需金额,我们申领并拿到公共拨款,计划得以执行。不久建起一座便利美观的建筑,医院经长期检验确实有用,至今兴旺。富兰克林说,他不记得有哪次政治操作的成功让他当时更高兴,或事后更容易原谅自己用了些狡黠。核心意思是:好的机制设计能让各方都愿意推动;但也要诚实面对其中运用的手腕。

今日一问
你正在推动的事,能不能设计一个让反对者也愿意顺水推舟的机制,而不是硬碰硬说服?
