NIVERSAL democracy does not mean the wiping out of all grades among men, bringing every person down to an equality of commonplaceness. This idea is the product of ignorant and timid minds. The motive force of democracy is not envy.
Democracy glowers at present-day great folk not because it does not believe in aristocracy, but because it does believe in real aristocracy, and is out of patience with humbug superiority. The plutocrat of New York, the hereditary noble of London, and the kings of Europe, we do not feel pleasant toward them simply because they have no rational right to their glory.
