unto this last- 第22部分

intended；　by　the　Giver　of　both；　not　to　scatter；　nor　to　give　away；



but　to　employ　those　riches　in　the　service　of　mankind；　in　other



words；　in　the　redemption　of　the　erring　and　aid　of　the　weak　



that　is　to　say；　there　is　first　to　be　the　work　to　gain　money；　then



the　Sabbath　of　use　for　it　　the　Sabbath；　whose　law　is；　not　to



lose　life；　but　to　save。　It　is　continually　the　fault　or　the　folly



of　the　poor　that　they　are　poor；　as　it　is　usually　a　child's　fault



if　it　falls　into　a　pond；　and　a　cripple's　weakness　that　slips　at　a



crossing；　nevertheless；　most　passers　　by　would　pull　the　child



out；　or　help　up　the　cripple。　Put　it　at　the　worst；　that　all　the



poor　of　the　world　are　but　disobedient　children；　or　careless



cripples；　and　that　all　rich　people　are　wise　and　strong；　and　you



will　see　at　once　that　neither　is　the　socialist　right　in　desiring



to　make　everybody　poor；　powerless；　and　foolish　as　he　is　himself；



nor　the　rich　man　right　in　leaving　the　children　in　the　mire。　







34。　The　quantity　of　life　is　the　same　in　both　cases；　but　it　is



differently　allotted。







35。　The　proper　offices　of　middle…men；　namely；　overseers　（or



authoritative　workmen）；　conveyancers　（merchants；　sailors；　retail



dealers；　&c。）；　and　order…takers　（persons　employed　to　receive



directions　from　the　consumer）；　must；　of　course；　be　examined



before　I　can　enter　farther　into　the　question　of　just　payment　of



the　first　producer。　But　I　have　not　spoken　of　them　in　these



introductory　papers；　because　the　evils　attendant　on　the　abuse　of



such　intermediate　functions　result　not　from　any　alleged　principle



of　modern　political　economy；　but　from　private　carelessness　or



iniquity。
