which are due between citizens. Our
desire should be, not to separate the
people into warning factions, but TO
bring them into better acquaintance
and greater sympathy with each other.
The enmity which the poor sometimes
feel toward the rich and the contempt
which the ,jch sometimes manifest to-
ward the poor would be avoided if each
knew the other better and both were
content to be guided by the strict
rules of Justice.
The extremes of society are really
not as far apart as they appear.
Those who work for wages to-day may,
under good government, be en-
ployers in Il few years, and the sons of
those who are employers to day may
in short time be day laborers. Since
no one can save posterity from the
evil effects of bad law. all should
strive for legislation which will pro-
tect each citizen in his rights and.in the
enjoyment of the fruits of his own
genius, his own industry and his own
integrity.
1T is of advantage to the rich as well
as to the poor that the children of all
have an opportunity to secure an edu
cation: for education widens the indi-
viduars horizon, increases his capacity
for usefulness: multiplies his enjoy
ments and makes him in every way
more serviceable TO society. Victor
Hugo has described the mob as the hui
man race in misery. Those who are
well-to-do have selfish interest, and
should feel moral concern, in remov-
ing despair from every human breast.
As misery is lessened the security of
prosperity is increased; human life is
protected in proportion rs happiness
Is promoted.
