Law Cannot Organize Labor And Industry Without

When, Then, Does Plunder Stop? It Stops When It Becomes More Painful And More Dangerous Than Labor.

Liberty Is An Acknowledgement Of Faith In God And His Works.

It Must Be Admitted That The Tendency Of The Human Race Toward Liberty Is Largely Thwarted, Especially In France. This Is Greatly Due To A Fatal Desire-learned From The Teachings Of Antiquity-that Our Writers On Public Affairs Have In Common: They Desire To Set Themselves Above Mankind In Order To Arrange, Organize, And Regulate It According To Their Fancy.

Try To Imagine A System Of Labor Imposed By Force That Is Not A Violation Of Liberty; A Transfer Of Wealth Imposed By Force That Is Not A Violation Of Property Rights. If You Cannot Do So, Then You Must Agree That The Law Cannot Organize Labor And Industry Without Organizing Injustice.

The Law Has Been Perverted, And The Powers Of The State Have Become Perverted Along With It. The Law Has Not Only Been Turned From Its Proper Function, But Made To Follow An Entirely Contrary Purpose. The Law Has Become A Tool For Every Kind Of Greed. Instead Of Preventing Crime, The Law Itself Is Guilty Of The Abuses It Is Supposed To Punish. If This Is True, It Is A Serious Matter, And Moral Duty Requires Me To Call The Attention Of My Fellow-citizens To It.
