the very best impulses for their mutual relations in "right." Within the economic sphere man turns to his fellow because it suits their reciprocal interests. Radically different is the link between man and man in the sphere of "right." It may be thought perhaps, that the distinction which life requires between the two things is adequately recognised, if the institutions established for the purposes of economic life also make provision for the "rights" that are involved in the mutual relations of the people engaged in it. But such a notion has no root in reality. The relation "in right," that necessarily exists between a man and his fellows, is one that can only be rightly felt and lived outside the economic sphere, on totally different soil, not inside it. In the healthy social organism, therefore, there must be another system of life, alongside the economic life and independent of it, where human rights can grow up and find suitable administration. But the "rights" life is, strictly, the political sphere,--the true sphere of the State. If the interests that men have to serve in their economic life are carried over into the legislation and administration of the "rights" State, then these rights as they grow up will merely be an expression of economic interests; whilst, if the "rights" State takes on the management of economic affairs, it is no longer fitted to rule men's "life of rights"; since all its measures and institutions will be forced to serve man's need for commodities, and thereby diverted from those impulses which make for the life of rights.
