34 THE SOCIALISM OF TO-DAY. same fact reappears. For part of the day the workman works to obtain the equivalent of his subsistence, viz. his wages, and during the remaining time for the capitalist. The fact stated by Marx is, then, quite true ; but it is not by economic subtleties about the “ surplus value ” that an attack is to be made on a partition of produce which results from the laws of the state and from the whole existing social organization. You can rob a man of his property, but you will never induce him to give up the enjoyment of it without receiving in exchange either services, or products, or money. If, like Proudhon, you wish that the producer were able to purchase his product, or to keep the whole of it, make him a capitalist. Already in France, and to a greater extent in Switzerland, unlike the case in England, a great number of men, possessing land and instruments of labour, can thus sit under their own vine and keep for them selves all the fruits of their labour, won from a soil which owes nothing to anybody. Advance this movement by spreading education and the habit of thrift, and the time will come when all will have a share in property, either landed or industrial, and when all will be freed from the tax paid to capital, because the capital will be their own. Rent is a natural fact and interest a necessary one. You cannot therefore abolish them, but the labourer, by acquiring ownership, can claim them for himself. In the Middle Ages, in the trade-guilds, the artisan working with his own hands was owner of the trade-capital, the instru ments of his labour. Accordingly, he retained the whole produce. Some similar organization should be revived, but under a different juridical form. The fundamental error of Marx lies in the idea he con ceives of value, which, according to him, is always in propor tion to labour. He has certainly made the theory of Smith and Ricardo much more plausible by saying that the value of an article depends on the amount of labour “ socially necessary ” to produce it. Thus, a chair has cost you three days’ labour ; but, on the average, it can be made in two days. It will therefore be worth only the equivalent of two days’ labour. Even thus amended, the idea is false. We must
