We find in an exchange the following
views on this question, which so exactly
accord with our own that we give place
to them entire: We detest that spirit
OF demagogism which would array the
poor against the rich; we dcspise that
spirit OF assumption in the rich which
leads them to look down supcrci!ouslv
upon the poor The Communist in his
readiness to seize the property of others
Is little more dcspicablc than the man
who assumes a naughty superiority
