Сторінка 83 - All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.
Сторінка 59 - Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's New Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight, Parts the goats upon the left hand and the sheep upon the right; And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.

Сторінка 83 - I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Сторінка 99 - ... to an island deserted by all but a few servants, living there a full week under such rigid secrecy that the name of not one of them was once mentioned lest the servitors learn their identity and disclose to the world this strangest, most secret episode in the history of American finance.
Сторінка 197 - Undoubtedly wages have advanced sharply since the war began, yet the average wage increase since 1912 has been small, even in union labor, when compared with the rise In the prices in necessaries of life. The index figures published in the April "Review" of the United States Bureau of Labor statistics show that in the large field of union labor there has been a rise of only nine points from 1912 to 1916, Inclusive. Index figures for 1917 are not yet available; but, even if we were to assume that...
Сторінка 84 - Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power, and chattel slavery destroyed. This, I and my European friends are in favor of ; for slavery is but the owning of labor, and carries with it the care of the laborer ; while the European plan, led on by England, is capital control of labor by controlling wages.
Сторінка 25 - It has indeed been humiliating to the American people to see how the wealth grabbers, owners of the "big press," actually attempt by scurrilous editorials and specially prepared articles, to drive the people as if we were a lot of cattle, to buy bonds, subscribe to the Red Cross, to register for conscription and all the other things.
