Some years ago, in the company of its steward, I was going over one of those mag- nificent ducal estates in England, which ren- der England the most beautiful spot on earth to look upon. As I viewed its wonderful lawns and pastures and forests, an exquisite expanse for hunt, play, and recreation, I asked the steward whether the products of the estate supported the workers and dwell- ers on it, not including the Duke and his im- mediate family. He answered promptly, "No." I then asked him whence... the addi- tional sum necessary for their support came. He answered as promptly that the Duke fur- nished it. I queried again of him as to where the Duke procured it, whether his other coun- try estates were more profitable. He replied: " No," that the Duke's income was from the The Underlying Causes 85 rent of his houses in London. I pushed the investigation still further and inquired as to the source of the means of the Duke's city tenants enabling them to pay the Duke rent. He explained that it was manufacture, trade, and commerce; and when I requested to know with whom this commerce and trade were carried on and to whom the manufac- tured products were sold, he answered again unhesitatingly: "With and to the Colonies as the fixed and regular course and with and to the rest of the world as circumstances per- mit." Still further, I asked of him whether all the landlords of England were in the same condition economically as the one he served, and his response was in the affirmative.
