Show IN THJB July Atlantic Ruskin's scheme for regenerating Eogland is tketobed by Mr. Scndder, in his "St. George's Company ." Raskin proposes to purchase rroaud upon whiab poor men may lire provided they take care of the land. Hi idea ia as novel as it is impracticable, the pat of it being that he would unceremoniously reverse re-verse the wheels of progress, and set the world bftc to primitive time. Sailroada and steam power are to be abolished, and labor saving machinery machin-ery and appliances to be done away with- In fact, his colony is to be reduced to the original order of things.. This sortof e-.mmunism will not sacoeed any better than the more violent kind which proposes to "right things" by force, and equalise humanity hu-manity by bloodshed. |
