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.

The exact truth about the Jews in Russia,
however, stands thus. Brought up from infan

Jews have nothing in common, they live quite
