As for the equality doctrine, we, as
little as our correspondent, believe in it.
Wherever and whenever it has been
tried it has proven failure, but that
should not prevent workingmen from
making every effort consistent with real
liberty in their own behalf And that is
what Bradlaugh is doing. He is labor
ing in behalf OF his felIow-workmen
with view 10 elevate them, not merely
1y fair wages, but by education and
knowledge Of the inherent rights
OF man, even yet 50 much hidden
out of sight, as to workingmen |
By English law and custom. As
to what problems may come 10 Us to be |
solved, growing out of crowded towns |
and cities, we cannot say, but we be- |
hsvs, as Bismarck said on the opening
OF the German parliament, after the |
Franco-Prussian war, that the question
Of the relative rights of labor and capi-
Esl Is TO be the next cause of general agi-
tstion, not only in Europe, but in Amer
ica. The toilers of land and sea are go !
ing 10 drive the loafers and drones to
the wall, and will, probably, by law,
stamp idieness a crime, as it is.
ANY way, the time is coming
when the workers will be the rulers, and
the ''c0rner"-makers and "forgers" of
London and New York, and the lazy,
Titled noodles who Gil Europe with vice
and crime, win 60 to the wall. As to
the ''susviter," and all the rest, one can
not sop to indulge in it when the
wrongs Of Ireland, and the yet helpless
laborers Of Europe, are being discussed.
We again recommend a close study of
the condition Of the English poor to our
who evidently yet, from
the way he writes about Bradlaugh,
does not know much about them.
