THE BRADLEY.MARTINS

For several days the newspapers of
the country have been commenting on
the Bradley Martin ball. and from the
date of its first condemnation by DR..
Rainsford there has been a disposition
on the part OF nearly all editorial writers
to regard the occasion as being bless
ing in disguise for the poor. Now this
would be a thing to laugh over were it
not so pitiable and provoking to see how
far astray supposedly intelligent people
can wander from common sense. That
waste is a good thing for the poor-this
is the monstrous proposition; something
that we all know in our hearts is too ut
terly foolish and untruthful to require
any logic to disprove.
That s25O,O0O spent in luxury and ex-
travagance on ball is good thing
paying no regard to its moral effect-for
the poor How long has it been since
people of common sense have forgotten
that to support luxury an immense num-
ber of men must be withdrawn or kept
from useful labor in the production of
necessaries? Take the amount ex-
pended for flowers alone, which certain
ly cannot fall short of $50, 1000. To pro-
duce that amount of flowers, consider
ing the laborers work at $40 per week,
would require the labor of three men for
1000 weeks or twenty years each. Think
of it! Three useful men giving up
twenty years of their lives in luXury's
dance one night! And because of these
mems wasted lives-and there are others
and who, because of luxury's demands,
are removed from producing necessa-
ries, others who are producing necessa-
ries must toll and slave the harder to
produce enough for their brothers who
are working in the service Of luxury.
But the florists are comparatively few
and innocent beings compared to the
jewellers, the dressmakers, the makers
of silks and fine raiment and thousands
of useless gewgaws. Let us suppose,
for instance, a community of 1000 men.
Let 900 of them be concerned in raising
crops and making bread. and 100 in max
ing jewelry Now let luxury step in and
remove 500 to making iewelry and other
gewgaws. and 10! there are only 100 left
to make bread for all the rest, while the
Bradley Martins dance with rings OIL
their fingers and toes.
Now this is no 1arciful picture, and the
justice and reason Of it any one may
carry out ad inhnitum TO suit the case.
In this country thousands of people are
without work and on the verge of
starvation, and because of this the Rev.
4. De Witt Talmage, we Will say, comes
forward and says: Behold, what a
splendid opportunity for the people to
go to work for luxury.' The which, of
course. is utter nonsense. and only goes
to show what smpieton a man may be
when he looks merely at the surface of
things. Such fallacy, such trucking,
perhaps. is disgrace to American man
hood. and the sting is none the less keen
that the wholeeome ard sensible rebuke
comes from d.. Rainsford, an English
man.
