By the Constitution of Great Britain to-day the Queen has an absolute veto over any act of Parliament. Every child knows well enough why it is never exercised. Bismarck and his despotism would soon be stamped beneath English soil without consulting the Constitution. Attempt any flagrant violation of the liberty of the people, and you will soon see what they anchor to. They anchor to justice and the fruits of those great strug- gles which have cost the lives and liberties of so many of her sons.... And what has England, this prodigy of constitutional law, really done for the average humanity that makes up her popula- tion . -' Many of her sons can recollect when one hundred and fifty-four nabobs sent three hundred and seven members to Par- liament, when seats in that body were sold like common mer- chandise, and when bribery and cc^rruption were everywhere the order of the day. In this law-thriving England, one man out of every ten is a pauper. John Ruskin calls her a nation of thieves. Carlyle despairs.
