LEGISLATING FOR POSTERITY
This passage sufficiently illustrates the vo teras milijonaire's compromising attitude towards the modera gospel according to Keir Hardie, Shaw, Wells, Blatchford, and the other popular proplate of Socialism. In other pas sages he puts this view in s somewhat mors controversial form :
We have not been blest with men capable
of legislating properly for generalious, to. come. They do not and cannot exist."

stitute the pillars of the Socialist edifice."
They differ upon equal and unequal wages, a fundamental question, and upon payment for or coofication-of the land-purchase or i robbery-another fundamental question. These two questions determine what Soci- allim is, or is not.
But every variety of the views held by the lead- ing Socialists on these questions. Mr. Carnegie attacks as equally impracticable. "The iden of uniform income," he says, "may be dismissed until the nature of man changes"; while, on the other hand, "if wages are not to be equal all classes cannot be merged and kept uniform -the basin of Socialism:"
THE ENEMY OF THRIFT.
This leads Mr. Carnegie into a characteristic panegyric upon temperance and thrift, Thase, declares the Scottish millionaire, are the two golden virtues upon which all worldly success is based; yat "thrift," he argues, "capnol com. mend liself to the true Socialist, who forbids private capital."
A large portion of the article is devoted to an interesting criticism of the English land system, and the Socialist proposals for its re form. Mr. Caraegle is a whole-hearted enemy of the system. He remarks of it:
fo all other English-speaking countries the people work the' land;' in Britain the landlords work the people.

_FALLACY OF STATE OWNERSHIP... "But let not Socialists imagine that recourse to state ownership is the proper substitute," | saya Mr. Carnegie. He repeats Lord Wolver: bampion's story of Gladstone, who, asked about Socialism, replied that it bad to meet this gnery: Did it propose to buy the land or taze 117 If the first, 41-was-folly-it-the-second, it was robbery."
Assuming that the demand for confiscation by the extreme section of too Socialist party will be rejected, Mr. Carnegie asks how the land is to be paid for. He lays down this in- teresting "per.onal view:
....
The great bulk of it (the land) has been acquired under law as it then existed, and as it exists 10-day, Territory won by force in bygone ages as a whole is now in the possession of innocent purchasers, It has been paid for. Now, if there be one tenet of honest dealing firmly rooted ld the coa- science of civilised men, it is that the title to such purchase is valid. The possessor müst be paid a fair price for what the law has de clared to be his. He can be robbed of his property, of course, but as advance toward | heaven upon earth, founded upos robbery would infallibly be a step in the other direction-backward, si not forward; down. ward, bot upwardena
