Man, in the beginning, seeing annihilation staring him in the face,
combined and gave us the Government of the Tribe; out of that developed
the Despotic form; out of that developed the Constitutional Monarchy,
out of which developed the Republic, the highest type of them all; and
this work of development must ever go on, if we would not lapse into
former conditions.
The founders of the republic could not have expected their work to so
soon come to the Chinese halt that has overtaken it, until we now find
ourselves floating on an ebbing sea back to the shores we thought we
had forever left behind.
The founders of the republic met the needs of their hour, and expelled
the foreigner. We have failed to meet the need of our hour in not
discarding the economic laws that were of that foreigner's bringing;
the economic laws of the monarchist and despotic forms of government,
that is making this republic a republic only in name: the economic laws
of the monarchist and despotic forms of government that has built up an
aristocracy of wealth here as they have there, that must of necessity
depend here for its existence as it does there, on the enslavement of
the people.
