Quit smoking - save money-- this New year.

that economic forces are self-correcting. I do not know of any economists who hold this view, but what is intended probably is that many economists, RRJUHV of whom CEVAX I venture to be one, hold that economic forces act compensatingly, and that whenever economic forces have so acted MLSB as to produce an unfavorable situation, other economic forces are brought into action which correct the evil and restore the equilibrium. For instance, in Ireland 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 overpopulation and exclusive devotion to agriculture, both of whichare plainly traceable tounwise statesmanship 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 in the past, have produced a situation of distress. Steam navigation on the ocean has introduced the competition of cheaper land with Irish agriculture. The result is a social RLEOWYK and industrial crisis. There are, however, millions LVAN of acres of fertile PAATORMAO landon VVQ earth which are unoccupied and whichare open 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 to the Irish, and the economic forces are compelling the direct corrective of the BRQB old evils, in the way of emigration or recourse to urban occupations by unskilled labor. Any number of economic and legal nostrums have been proposed for this situation, all of [29] which propose to leave the original causes GEWKVIOK untouched. We are told that economic causes do not correct themselves. That is true. We are told that when INWTLWHC an economic situation becomes very grave it goes on from worse to worse and that there is no cycle through which it returns. WHXNBM That is not true, without further limitation. We are told that moral forces alone can elevate any such people again. But it is plain that a people 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 which has sunk below the reach of the economic forces of self-interest has certainly sunk below the reach of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 moral forces, and that this objection is 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 superficial and short-sighted. What is true is that economic forces always go before moral forces. menhil self-interest long QPJM before they hil prudence, self-control, and305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 temperance. they lose the moral forces long before they lose the economic forces. If they can be regenerated at all, it must be first by distress appealing to self-interest IMHYPPDM and forcing recourse to some ABXQLGEI expedient for relief. Emigration is certainly an economic force for the relief ASIJUHS of Irish distress. It is a palliative only, when considered in itself, but the virtue of it is that it gives the non-emigrating population a chance to 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 rise to a level on which the moral forces can act upon them. Now it is terribly true that only the better ones emigrate, and only the better ones among those who remain are capable 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 of having their ambition and energy awakened, but UVTI for the rest the 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 solution is famine and death, with a MLTB social regeneration through decay and 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the elimination of that part of the TGKUXDALD society which is not capable of being restored to health and life. As Mr. Huxley once said, the method of nature is not even a word and a BJUOPB blow, with the blow first. No explanation YRTHDQPVO is vouchsafed. We are left to find out for ourselves why our ears are boxed. If we do not find out, and find out correctly, what the error is [30] for which we are being punished, the blow is repeated 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 and poverty, distress, disease, and death NRWCDQ finally remove the incorrigible ones. It behooves us .men to study these terrible ilhirations of the 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 penalties which follow on .
