{43} But it will be said, and certainly with much truth, that not all the Democrats are for mere political reform. I say that I believe that this is true, and it is a very important truth too. BUT IT WILL BE SAID AND CERTAINLY WITH MUCH TRUTH THAT NOT ALL THE DEMOCRATS ARE FOR MERE POLITICAL REFORM I SAY THAT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TRUE AND IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT TRUTH TOO
yed class, there to sweat as he once was sweated; which, my friends, is, if you will excuse the word, your ridiculous idea of freedom of contract. The sole and utmost success of your policy would be that it might raise up a strong opposition to the condition of things which it would be your function to uphold; but most probably such opposition would still be outside Parliament, and not in it; you would have made a revolution, probably not without bloodshed, only to show people the necessity for another revolution the very next day. Will you think the example of America too trite? Anyhow, consider it! A country with universal suffrage, no king, no House of Lords, no privilege as you fondly think; only a little standing army, chiefly used for the murder of red-skins; a democracy after your model; and with all that, a society corrupt to the core, and at this moment engaged in suppressing freedom with just the same reckless brutality and blind ignorance as the Czar of all the Russias uses. THE PROLETARIAT INTO THE MONEYED CLASS THERE TO SWEAT AS HE ONCE WAS SWEATED WHICH MY FRIENDS IS IF YOU WILL EXCUSE THE WORD YOUR RIDICULOUS IDEA OF FREEDOM OF CONTRACT THE SOLE AND UTMOST SUCCESS OF YOUR POLICY WOULD BE THAT IT MIGHT RAISE UP A STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE CONDITION OF THINGS WHICH IT WOULD BE YOUR FUNCTION TO UPHOLD BUT MOST PROBABLY SUCH OPPOSITION WOULD STILL BE OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT AND NOT IN IT YOU WOULD HAVE MADE A REVOLUTION PROBABLY NOT WITHOUT BLOODSHED ONLY TO SHOW PEOPLE THE NECESSITY FOR ANOTHER REVOLUTION THE VERY NEXT DAY WILL YOU THINK THE EXAMPLE OF AMERICA TOO TRITE ANYHOW CONSIDER IT A COUNTRY WITH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE NO KING NO HOUSE OF LORDS NO PRIVILEGES YOU FONDLY THINK ONLY A LITTLE STANDING ARMY CHIEFLY USED FOR THE MURDER OF REDSKINS A DEMOCRACY AFTER YOUR MODEL AND WITH ALL THAT A SOCIETY CORRUPT TO THE CORE AND AT THIS MOMENT ENGAGED IN SUPPRESSING FREEDOM WITH JUST THE SAME RECKLESS BRUTALITY AND BLIND IGNORANCE AS THE CZAR OF ALL THE RUSSIAS USES
