Convincing the Masses Unrest would, I believe, disappear if the masses of the people were con- vinced that everything reasonable was being done by those more for- tunate than themselves to promote the common comfort and well-being. —Judge E. H. Gary, in Harper's Monthly Magazine. TT enough, but what a terrific job it will be to establish such conviction in the minds of the masses. Of course, those of us who are on the inside know what unselfish crea- tures the fortunate ones are. We know that when a trust magnate boosts the price of one of the necessities of life it is with no thought of his own profits, but solely “to promote the common comfort and well-being.” And so also when a high-minded and altruistic financier rigs the stock mar- ket. And so also when a kind and gentle manufacturer fills his factory with little children. And so also when a loving canner sells us gelatin- ized hayseed and labels it strawberry jam. We wiser ones who have studied political economy know that huge profits are but the necessary concomi- tant of these operations on hehalf of the public, but how to get the masses to realize it? There’s the rub, The masses are so stupid and so sceptical and so superstitious.

And putting on their outer garments, they did go into the highways of the city and walked among the multitude, seek- ing a goodly place. } And when they had come to a house of great height and many windows, they did enter at the side door thereof, and the servants of the house did meet them, and taking their outer garments, did give them tokens therefor. Thereupon they did enter an upper room where a multitude was assem- bled, and a servant approached them, and did bid them to sit at a window.
