Excerpt from Some Hints for Political Leaflets

During the great French resolution the wage-earning, working men died by millions.

A great country is a tree that has gradually grown to what it is; its branches (institutions) existing because they, by surviving, have proved themselves, to be the fittest to survive under the circumstances. A wise gardener prunes the branches of a tree as they require it. A Radical fool of a gardener tears the tree up by the roots and leaves it to rot on the ground.

A Conservative loves liberty, even though he knows that where there is liberty there cannot be equality. The only way to ensure all people being equal, and each possessing only one pig, is by making tyrannical laws to destroy his liberty to become the owner of two pigs. To do this for the sake of getting equality is the aim of Socialist-Radicalism. The Radical wants to return towards the condition of Digger Indians, who live by grubbing in the ground for roots, or like Andaman Indians, who live by eating mud; for equality is only found amongst such people as these.

French Radicals, like Radicals and Socialists everywhere, love equality (and therefore hate liberty), because they are vain, envious people who cannot bear to see anyone richer than, or superior in any respect to, themselves. A Frenchman cannot bear to see another man with two pigs when he has only one. Englishmen, on the contrary, have hitherto loved liberty better than equality, and thus England is what she is. If you wish to become like a Frenchman, you no doubt will vote for the Radical.

Your election cry ought to be: "Liberty for ever, and down with Socialism!"
