Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Destruction of Poverty James G. Blaine repeatedly declared in public speeches, particularly during his Presidential campaign, that: "This country will support many more millions than it at present contains," and "It is conceded that this country produces more than any other." A citizen who was not carried away by the glittering generalities of campaign speeches propounded Mr. Blaine, in a private letter, the following queries: "First. - If it be true that this country will support many more millions than it now contains, why does it not support the people it already contains?" "Second. - If this country produces more than any other, why should we fear competition?" The questions were ignored, and they never have been answered by any candidate for a high or low political office. To every American citizen able to penetrate the selfish motives and personal schemes behind the catch-vote delusions of party platforms, these questions merit a full answer, and they are answered in this book. There is no reason why poverty should exist in the United States, for the causes which create and perpetuate it in other countries do not obtain here, indeed it is not an element in our American civilization, because our system of government tends to prevent it. But poverty does exist here, the same as under a personal form of government, and the cry of the rich growing richer, and the poor, poorer, will not down. It is a fact, and the question is, why is it a patent fact? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
