VIII bear frequent enforcing
We have no doubt that the law of sup
ply and demand is true essentially, but its
genuine and legitimate action is no where
seen. Society being universally imperfect
and disordered, it is inevitable that thous-
and causes should disturb the action OF this
law. and in fact, nullify it as far as possible.
Were the social organization every where
conformed to the absolute principles OF ma
ture, were Industrial and commercial har-
mony realized, and all temptations to injus-
tice and oppression eradicated, then the
law of supply and demand would be In
force unopposed. But while land monopoly
keeps its millions in slavish dependence for
the privilege of living on that earth to
which God has given them an equal night
with their masters; while false system Of
money renders usury universal, and levies
a ruinous tribute on the whole community;
while laborers work for others and not In
well organized associations for themselves;
while commerce is a matter of mere pri-
vate speculation in which the profit d the
agent is larger as he buys cheap and sells
dear, that is, Aeeces both producer and
consumer; in short, while Society is a mass
Of hostile interests conflicting passions, and
accidental and unnatural inequalities, it is a
sophisiical juggle to talk of supply and de-
msnd as truly regulating anything, OF as a
principle safe and sufficient to govern
the relations of men. 1t is a convenient
phrase for those who wish to keep things
as they are, and to enable the strong to
live upon the weak forever; but such
persons are the last TO labor for the inte-
grail Inauguration of the principle, and most
hostile to every movement having that in
view. Why, our correspondent himself,
