DUALISM.
TO THE EDITOR,
Sir, —The old-fashioned writers who wrote on political economy dealt mainly with the production of wealth and its retention in the liands of a few, " who went on Sunday to their church and sat among their boys." Tin's dualism—piety and greed—has been a canker both on Christianity and civilisation. Rooted in the idea of slave-owning, it is necessarily productive of it. acting on a false theory of wages, a false theory of credit and a false theory of money, which brought about an automatic system of practical robbery so subtle in its operation as to compel men who wish to do right to take part in iniquities abhorrent to them, while enabling those who wish •to do wrong to wanton in their immoralities. But the present day writers on sociology seelc to lead all to the one goal—humanitarianism, or the elevation of'all to real manhood.—l am, etc., KEREI.
