[The Devil’s Paw by E. Phillips Oppenheim]@TWC D-Link bookThe Devil’s Paw CHAPTER VII 23/37
The cause of the people is not in any country so shamefully and badly represented. You have a bourgeoisie which maintains itself in almost feudal luxury by means of the labour which it employs, and that labour is content to squeak and open its mouth for worms, when it should have the finest fruits of the world.
And all this is for want of leadership.
Up you come you David Sands, you Phineas Crosses, you Nicholas Fenns, you Thomas Evanses.
You each think that you represent Labour, but you don't.
You represent trade--the workers at one trade.
