The son of Louis the well-beloved was Louis the guillotined.

So in the same way in England in the nineteenth century the Radical manufacturer was entirely trusted as a mere tribune of the people, until suddenly we heard the cry of the Socialist that he was a tyrant eating the people like bread.

So again, we have almost up to the last instant trusted the newspapers as organs of public opinion.

Just recently some of us have seen (not slowly, but with a start) that they are obviously nothing of the kind.

They are, by the nature of the case, the hobbies of a few rich men.
