Thoughts For The Times
Tiikn and Now
Democracy, nursing what it deems to be its economic wrongs, and not unnaturally regarding the wealthy classes with hitter anger, has yet to learn that capital was largely the creation of the Puritan character, and that the prosperity of the British Islands was laid in no small measure by the thrift and temperance of those who lived simply because they thought deeplt. Capital, without which Labor could have done little, is not a contrivance of the noisy rich, but the deliberate cication. of vii'tuous men. Capital, now regarded as an enemy, was once the visible best friend of Labor. —from “Ihe Miners of Downing Street.”
