SECTION III. ADDRESSES TO ALL CLASSES OF SOCIETY IN SUPPORT OF COMMUNISTIC PRINCIPLES. CHAPTER XLVIII.-TO THE RICH. hunger. Woe unto you that Woe unto you, when all men "Woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full for ye shall laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.”—ST. Luke vi. WHY JHY is money valued so highly, and why is wealth so greedily sought after? The rich answer, "Because it gives us power to accomplish great things." Some social reformer contends, however, in opposition to this general belief, that the power of money is, on the whole, overestimated, if not entirely questionable. He maintains that "the greatest things which have been done for the world have not been accomplished by rich men, or by subscription lists, but by men generally of small pecuniary means. Christianity was propagated over half the world by men of the poorest class; and the greatest thinkers, discoverers, inventors, and artists have been men of moderate wealth, many of them little raised above the condition of manual labourers, in point of worldly circumstances." Riches are oftener an impediment than a stimulus to action; and in many cases they are quite as much a misfortune as a blessing. The youth who inherits wealth is apt to have life made too easy for him, and he soon grows sated with it, because he has nothing left to desire. Having no special object to struggle for, he finds time hang heavily on his hands; he remains morally and spiritually asleep; and his position in society is often no higher than that of a polypus over which the tide floats." Instructive is, in this respect, the misuse of accumulatel or inherited wealth by the ancients. Tiberius at his death left £23,624,000; which Caligula, whom the former adopted as heir to the throne, spent in less than twelve months. Out of his wealth, Cæsar purchased the friendship of Curio for £500,000, and that of Lucius Paulus for £300,000. At the time of the assassination of Julius Cæsar, Antony was in debt to the amount of £3,000,000; he owed this sum on the Ides of March, and it was paid by the Kalends of April; he squandered £147,000,000. Appius squandered in debauchery £500,000, and finding on examination of the state of his affairs that he only had £80,000, poisoned himself, because he considered that sum insufficient for his maintenance. Cleopatra, at an entertainment she gave to Antony, dissolved in vinegar a pearl worth £80,000, and he swallowed it. Amongst these instances of the misuse of money by the ancients are to be found four prototypes, namely, that of the waste of the public treasury by Caligula; that of bribery by Julius Cæsar; that of debauchery by Appius, and that of extravagance by Cleopatra. How innumerable, and varying only in degree, are the imitations of these ancient spendthrifts in modern times! These reflections made on the misuse of money will, however, be partly set aside as referring to the profligacy of individual and isolated cases; and the rich will on the contrary maintain that the power of money and capital is manifest in the great works and undertakings of modern times,—in the construction of railways; building of numerous large steamers, some of them, like the Great Eastern of the most gigantic proportions; the erection of huge factories and warehouses; the laying of submarine cables, etc. This assertion made for the defence of capital is refuted by the somewhat paradoxical fact that the great Chinese wall, with its thousand miles of extent, was not built by the power of capital and risk of specu |
