Having after long struggles, Mt
~ attained in others, the point ut
which for them, nj least, there Is no
further progress to make in the de-
partmcnt OF purely political rights, is
1t possible that the less fortunate
classes among the "adult males"
should not nsk themselves whether
progress ought to stop there? Not
withstan,ling Ill that has been done,
and all TINT seems likely to be done,
in the extension OF franchises, Il few
are born to great riches, and thu.
many to perjury made only more
grating by contrast. No longer en-
shaved or made dependent by force
OF law, the great majority are SO by
force Of poverty; they arc still chain
Cd to place, to m occupation, and
to conformity with the will Of an en-
ploycr, and elcbnrred by the 4, cilcnt
OF birth both from the emjoyments,
and from the mental and moral adj
vantages. which others inherit with
out exertion and independently oi
desert. Thut this is IN evil equal
also to any Of those against which
mankind have heretofore struggled,
the poor are not wrong I'm believing
Is It a necessary evil? They are
told SO by those who do not feel it
by those who have gained the prizes
In the lottery Of life. But It was also
said that slavery, that dcspotism
that all the privileges Of oligarchy
were nccessary."-.JoAn stuart Mil
