I address this pamphlet to the working men of Paris, and especially to those who have ranged themselves under the banner of the Socialist Democracy. In it I dis cuss these two questions: 1st. Is it in accordance with the nature of things, and with justice, that capital should yield interest? 2d. Is it in accordance with the nature of things, and with justice, that the interest of capital should be perpetual? The working men of Paris will readily acknowledge that a more important subject could not be agitated.

From the beginning of the world it had always been recognized, at least in practice, that capital ought to yield some interest..

In these latter times, however, we are told that this is precisely the great social error which gives rise to pauperism and inequality.

the laboring classes rise up against the existing order of society; and it is in vain to tell them that they ought to have recourse only to lawful and peaceful measures. Such advice is hypocritical. When there is on one side a strong man, poor, and plundered, and on the other, a weak man, rich and the plunderer, it is strange enough that the former should be told, with any hope of persuading him: "Wait until your oppressor voluntarily renounces his oppression, or until it ceases of itself."

If, on the contrary, the interest of capital is natural, legitimate, consistent with the general welfare, as favorable to the borrower as to the lender, the public writers who decry it, the popular agitators who declaim about this pretended social plague, are leading on the working men to an insane and unrighteous struggle, which can have no other
