Socialism, as a movement, does not move
by discussion. It's programme is violence.
Its tone is: No argument; let us have eur
way, or beware! Modern violence consists
largely in voting, and when this kind is
available and sufficient, the social dem ocra-
cy asks no more. If it is not available, the
proposition is plain and loud to use weaD-
ons and the torch. If, however, voting is
not to be controlled, In the long run, by in
telligence, reason, argument and discus
sion, then the civilized world has been
building for a century uPOn faith In certain
doctrines which are about to give way and
to expose society to a terrible cOnvulsiou.
All our Inherited institutions of civil liber-
ty face toward the Executive, as if from
that organ alone danger could come. The
power has now been transmitted to D JpuIar
10 4jorities, under the assumption that they
would never abuse it to enrich themselves
at the expense OF producers. as mOnarchs
and arstOcracies have done The new task
is to devise institutions which shall prot ect
ciVilliberty against popular ma orilies, since
it appears that this assumption is not be-
yonJ question. That task lies next before
US in the development of the art of govern
meut, and it appears that the great civilized
nations will have to execute it before the
to give up all that has been won in five
thousand years OF history---Prof. w. G..
Sumner, in Scribner fer October.
The Radical propagandists have at
last discovered that intelligence, rea
son" etc., should be an essential factor
in the matter of voting. They did not
argue in that way thirteen years ago
when they we're framing governments for
the Southern States. They then pro-
fessed to believe that the privilege of
voting could not be more wisely confer
red than upon class of persons in the
South who, by reason of their former
condition, were necessarily ignorant of
its uses and unacquainted with the nature
and responsibilities of government. 1t
was another Sumner, far more widely
known than the writer in Scribner, who
at that time not only advocated the en-
franchisement of that class and the dis
reimbursement of the intelligent people
of the South, but the practical enforce
ment of the communistic creed of Selling
from the landowners their estates, and
dividing them among the unlettered
class upon whom suffrage was conferred.
