Now, this conception of private property is the con- ception, no doubt, of boys playing at marbles ; but that it should ever have imposed itself on a rational and thoughtful man, we confess is beyond our comprehension. For, so far is the private ownership of an object from being in- consistent with the use which the owner makes of it being limited, that it is precisely the limita- tions on the use of such objects that make up the substance of more than half the laws of the 116 SOCIALISM IN- ENG...LAND. world. Is not a knife a proper object of pri- vate ownership? Mr. George and Mr. Hynd- man both admit that it is. Yet what can be clearer, as we have already pointed out, than that the use of a knife must be subjected to the very strictest limitations. Or let us take the case of a cabman who owns his own horse and hansom. Does the English law, or does any human being, fail to recognize these as the cabman's private property? Yet is the cab- man legally able to do as he likes with them? Can he drive them down Piccadilly at the rate of twelve miles an hour?
