For their work itself in spite of the sham dignity with which they surround it, they care nothing: save a few enthusiasts, men of science, art or letters, who, if they are not the salt of the earth, are at least (and oh, the pity of it!) FOR THEIR WORK ITSELF IN SPITE OF THE SHAM DIGNITY WITH WHICH THEY SURROUND IT THEY CARE NOTHING SAVE A FEW ENTHUSIASTS MEN OF SCIENCE ART OR LETTERS WHO IF THEY ARE NOT THE SALT OF THE EARTH ARE AT LEAST AND OWE THE PITY OF IT
nufacturing part of them, the most powerful part, spend their lives and energies in fighting amongst themselves for their respective shares of the wealth which they _force_ the genuine workers to provide for them; the others are almost wholly the hangers-on of these; they do not work for the public, but a privileged class: they are the parasites of property, sometimes, as in the case of lawyers, undisguisedly so; sometimes, as the doctors and others above mentioned, professing to be useful, but too often of no use save as supporters of the system of folly, fraud, and tyranny of which they form a part. And all these we must remember have, as a rule, one aim in view; not the production of utilities, but the gaining of a position either for themselves or their children in which they will not have to work at all. It is their ambition and the end of their whole lives to gain, if not for themselves yet at least for their children, the proud position of being obvious burdens on the community.
