One day she will arrive at perfect wisdom, and will pay each man according to his deserts. But do not be alarmed. This will not happen in our time. ONE DAY SHE WILL ARRIVE AT PERFECT WISDOM AND WILL PAY EACH MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DESERTS BUT DO NOT BE ALARMED THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN IN OUR TIME
t forcing you. All I say is, that if you don't work for me, I shall not work for you. No work from you, no dinner from me--no holidays, no tobacco." And I decide to be a slave, and work. Society has no notion of paying all men equally. Her great object is to encourage brain. The man who merely works by his muscles she regards as very little superior to the horse or the ox, and provides for him just a little better. But the moment he begins to use his head, and from the labourer rises to the artisan, she begins to raise his wages. Of course hers is a very imperfect method of encouraging thought. She is of the world, and takes a worldly standard of cleverness. To the shallow, showy writer, I fear, she generally pays far more than to the deep and brilliant thinker; and clever roguery seems often more to her liking than honest worth. But her scheme is a right and sound one; her aims and intentions are clear; her methods, on the whole, work fairly well; and every year she grows in judgment.
