If something substantial to work on is not soon given to this man with
the ballot, he will drop it - and then let the blame of it rest with the
fools and rascals who have been deluding him so long.
The average man makes a better soldier than he does a voter. He can get
the range of an object easier than he can comprehend an economic truth -
this one, for instance: If the capitalists have obtained possession of
the money issued in the past, what is to prevent them from getting
possession of all that will be issued in the future? His answer will be
to issue more. He has been told so by his political mentor. When the man
with the ballot loses confidence in this mentor, he will start a game of
his own, and then the jig will be up with that idiot. We use the word
idiot advisedly here. When a tax was assessed against the incomes of the
rich, this driveler would score a point gained in favor of the people.
This claim of itself shows the institution to which he should be
consigned.
Victoria, Empress and Queen, rules a country where, pauperism is
steadily on the increase, and the potter's field received the bodies of
eighty of her subjects that were frozen to death in London in four days
of January last.
