In (reat Itritafn -he masses of vofeni to be manipulated are i small; very few exceed twelve thousand voters, and many are!, below eight thousand, numbers manageable by ex temporized committee. In Great Britain the people are more "settled, and gfouped and or ganized by a variety of ocial, religious, and economic bonds, which admit of Voters being moved in many other ways than by purely po litical machinery ; and the parties find ready made to their hands a variety of influences of ten more effective than the' regular party a- sociationa. j Moreover, the issues on which Parliamentary contests have been fought have been sharper and . clearer issues than hkv been raised between the two great American parties since 1868. and; have hr many csjmV . turned upon the extension of the politic ! privileges of the masses. In such casci the. stimulus of party methods is not necessary to -' range the people in line. But the most important distinction is that in Great Britain few persons have any direct personal interest affecting their pockets or status; involvedin the victory or defeat of r ir- ty. 'Hence! work for the party is disIntcrestcJ and very few people devote much time to it. How different in the United states, where the completeness and effectiveness of the party- machine is largely due to the fact that it com mands the services of so great .a number of men who have a direct money interest in the success of their party. tn and the whole country.
