[Locknane]

To be rigidly confined to one particular class; for, on the part of the
majority, no change at all is required in order to make the socialistic
evangel welcome. So far as they are concerned, the Old Adam is quite
sufficient. None of us need much converting in order to welcome the
prospect of an indefinite addition to our incomes, which will cost us
nothing but the trouble of stretching out our hands to take it.
Socialists often complain that, under the existing dispensation, there
is one law for the rich and another law for the poor. They propose
themselves to introduce a difference which goes still deeper, and to
provide the few and the many, not only with two laws, but with two
different natures, and two antithetic moralities. The morality of the
many is to remain, as it always has been, comfortably based on the
familiar desire for dollars. The morality of the few is to be based on
some hitherto unknown contempt for them; and the class which the
socialists fix upon as the subjects of this moral transformation, is
precisely the class which they denounce as being, and as always having
been, in respect of its devotion to dollars, the most notorious, and the
most notoriously incorrigible. That arguments such as these, culminating
in an absurdity like this, and starting with the assumption that it is
possible to animate a manufacturer's office with the spirit of soldiers
facing an enemy's guns, should actually emanate from sane men would be
unbelievable, if the arguments were not being repeated from day to day
by men who, in some respects, are far from being incompetent reasoners.
Indeed, many of them themselves would, it seems, be extremely doubtful
with regard to the plasticity imputed by them to human nature, if it
were not for a theory of society which is not peculiar to socialism
