If he is in a straitened lot, where nothing can be accumulated; where, in sickness, he must forego medicine and a physician or run in debt for them ; where every mental invigoration or refreshment is cut off, every taste for the beautiful is denied, thirst for knowledge is despise...d, education of children i? made impossible, and life is in every way narrowed, depressed, aod cramped ; and if his wife or child is driven to the workshop, to be there overworked, under- 16 SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND THE CHURCH.
paid, taxed for thread, made answerable for losses, insulted, or turned off on account of a diminution of profits, redress is out of tiie question, and any allusion to it is dangerous. At every point where plenty of ready money would make living easy, he is taxed or cheated, because " the destruction of the poor is his poverty." Now we say, without risk of contradiction, that an experience like this, brought over from the realm of imagination into reality, would be likely to darken by a good deal the bright pictures presented to us of the American paradise.
