THE SOCIALISM OF TO-DAY. 104 rôle of the State is clearly confessed. The Socialistic bearing of the Prussian code cannot be mistaken. The main object to attain, according to the Social Christians, who agree in this respect with the “ Social Conser vatives,” is the organization of trade corporations. It is in this way alone that the present wage-system can be modified. Privy Councillor F. Reuleaux, who at the time of the Exhibi tion of Philadelphia pointed out in so inexorable but so useful a way the imperfections of German industry, also believes that the organization of corporations is indispensably required for the training of skilled apprentices. He is anxious that the corporations should form themselves freely and without mo nopoly, but under State patronage. The Staats-Socialist demands, on the other hand, that the organization should be compulsorily imposed on all trades ; in this way alone, it thinks, can the labourer be enabled to defend his interests effectively. The trade corporations would have their representatives in parliament, and the intervention in politics of the workmen thus organized would be more useful than it is at present, when it takes place under a party badge. Sismondi also spoke highly of this system of representation which existed in many of the mediaeval towns. In the same way, in England still, the universities have their special members. When the com» position of the Senate was being discussed in France, it was proposed to introduce into it representatives of the great public bodies—those, for instance, of trade and commerce. Although this idea is foreign to our present forms of government, it should not be lightly rejected. If it is true that the govern ment ought to be the expression, not of the arbitrary will of the majority, but of the lights, the wisdom, and the true interests of the nation, the representation of great bodies and great indus tries, in at least one of the Chambers, would offer inestimable advantages. The Siaats-Socialist proposes, as a model, the American association of engine-drivers. This association counts 192 branches and 14,000 members. It is based on Christian sentiment. Its motto is, “ Do to others as ye would that they should do to you : such is the fulfilment of the law.” Its
