CONSERVATIVE SOCIALISTS. 93 and, finally, others have rallied to the group of Evangelical Socialists, with whom we shall soon become acquainted. Nevertheless, the most learned among them, Herr Rudolf Meyer, whose curious work, the Emancipations-kampf des vier ten Standes, we have already cited, summarizes in this book the programme of his shade of thought, which he had in part explained at the Congress of the Kathedersocialisten, in 1872, at Eisenach. Herr Meyer declares, first of all, for the main tenance of universal suffrage. It is, he says, the best way to initiate the Fourth Estate, the people, to the realities of political life, and to preserve them from hopeless chimeras.

It is borrowed from De Tocqueville, who expands it admirably in the chapter of his Ancien Regime, entitled “ How, about the middle of the eighteenth century, men of letters became the principal politicians of the country, and the effects which resulted therefrom.” It cannot, however, be said that in Germany universal suffrage has preserved the labouring classes from the spirit of revolution. It is, nevertheless, true that it has brought them down from the golden cloudland of Utopia in order to marshal them upon the battle-field of private interests. This, however, is neither more convenient nor more reassuring to their employers. The Conservative Herr Meyer invokes the opinion of Rodbertus in order to demonstrate that the State should regulate the distribution of wealth according to justice. Here tofore all efforts have been directed to the increase of produc tion. At a certain point, however, the question of distribution becomes the more important. When the development of trade results in creating, on the one side, an extremely wealthy class, and, on the other, a numerous class of proletarians, it may be said that the true order of things is disturbed. The consequence and characteristic symptom of this disorder is the appearance of demoralizing luxury, pushing the privileged few who revel in
