Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For Our Boys: A Collection of Original Literary Offerings; By Popular Writers at Home and Abroad Leading publicists and other writers on modern socialism, recognize the proposition that in all civilized countries the honest, helpless poor are entitled to government aid. But the right of the individual to assistance by the state, involves a correlation of society, which is organized chiefly for the security of its members in their life and property, and for their mutual protection. Therefore, society is not merely an economical fact, a kind of savings and loan association; it is also a moral fact, a grand fabric of solidarity and brotherhood, resting on a basis of equity and reciprocal obligations. Some wealsmen, however, maintain that the commonwealth owes nothing to its disabled or destitute members. Such a doctrine is neither humane nor logical in its conclusions. A condition in which the individual should never have any benefit to expect from the collective store or reserve of the community, and should himself have to provide, under all circumstances of adversity, for the afflictions and infirmities of his body, would no longer be a social condition, but a savage state. We have constituted authorities to redress wrongs, and protect the weak against oppression; courts of judicature established to administer justice and punish evil-doers, and yet there should be no municipal provision for the dispensation of bread to the aged, the indigent and the orphaned, when trying to help themselves? May the homeless poor always rely on the continuance of private benevolence to aid them? A good man, whose industry in better days was tributary to the public treasury, is now a beggar amid surroundings of luxury and opulence.
