FURTHER CLASS-DISTINCTIONS. 200 



directly traceable to it, and how they fade as industrialism 

 develops, need not be shown at length. 



Foregoing instances make it clear that they are still 

 maintained rigorously in societies characterized by that type 

 of organization which continuous war establishes; and that 

 they prevailed to considerable degrees during the past war 

 like times of more civilized societies. Conversely, they 

 show that as, along with the rise of a wealth which does 

 not imply rank, luxuries and costly modes of life have 

 spread to those who do not form part of the regulative or 

 ganization; the growth of industrialism tends to abolish 

 these marks of class-distinction which militancy originates. 

 Xo matter what form they take, all these supplementary 

 rules debarring the inferior from usages and appliances 

 characterizing the superior, belong to a social regime based 

 on coercive co-operation; while that unchecked liberty 

 which, among ourselves, the classes regulated have to imi 

 tate the regulating classes in habits and expenditure, be 

 longs to the regime of voluntary co-operation.
