Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Nation´s Need: Or Let Us All Divide Up and Start Even A divisions of our national wealth among all the people, as a political measure, must be regarded as an entirely new feature in American politics. A variety of remedies for existing evils and conditions has been proposed by political economists and championed by political parties, but a divide-up and start-even has not been one of them. The measure will not impress the mind favorably at first thought. It appears too far-reaching, too difficult, too revolutionary. But when the subject is carefully and deeply studied these impressions vanish, and the adoption of the measure appears not only possible, but practicable and wise. In magnitude it is no greater than the nation. In its scope it is no farther-reaching than the claims and interests of citizenship and family life. That a political question should embrace every section of the country and place equal privileges within reach of every individual is a paramount merit. To make a propaganda of sectional issues or to thrust into political life those things which benefit merely a few can only be productive of evil. Genuine statesmanship can consider nothing less than the interests of all the people. A divide-up and start-even may be revolutionary, but this is no reason why it should not be adopted. The world owes untold obligations to revolutionary measures. It requires a great issue to arouse mankind to action. Reforms are almost sure of defeat. History is crowded with dead reforms that expired through lack of support, but revolutions have made history. The lesser measures fail to secure the following that is essential to success. America is rapidly making a new history. Neither the experience of its own past career nor the example of other nations can point out our future pathway.
