Current Economic Theories. 89 It is— we do believe, that men's conduct will generally come to be such as it ought to be far more generally than it is now ; and we believe that men will be brought thus to act by means of such institutions as we are endeavouring to set up. They will require to be formed by men profoundly impressed by the principle of human brotherhood, full of faith in its reality and enthusiasm over the splendid outlook for the future of mankind offered by it. But in and by them... will be gradually produced among other men, not necessarily a spirit such as animated these founders, but at least a dis- position to act in the way recommended, though, perhaps, with a view to personal advantage. For this must not be forgotten — any institution deliberately planned with the object of promoting the welfare of all whom it may sensibly affect, must, unless it is very badly adapted for the purpose intended by it, be advantageous to the great majority of men. Only that small but strong minority whose talent enables them to " get on, " as it is called, meaning, to get up on other men's backs and so be raised above the crush, to come to the front and roll up wealth and the power given by wealth, may feel themselves placed relatively at a disadvantage, by having to work for the common good, and to be contented with the common advantages placed within the reach of all with such special share of the total produce as in the general opinion their work deserves, instead of keeping all that they could get " off their own bat.
