Does away with the millionaire and his charity - the beggar and his need
of it. Gives the conditions which makes individual and national
improvement possible, and securing every such national improvement by
making all the people its willing defenders, which they are far from
being now in their hunger and wretchedness. Makes employment easy to
obtain, with just wages in return for the labor done, putting within the
reach of all, those comforts and luxuries, which, in this age of the
world with its skill for quick and easy production, should be looked
upon as a matter of course, but which in fact are unknown to a large
part of the working people of the country.
If Confiscation, then, can do all this, why should it not be made to
supersede all other policies that have been tried, and all those that
are now courting public favor, but which, like the rest are based upon
unrepublican economic laws, and must end, therefore, like the rest, in
failure and disappointment?
With our resources restored to the people, which can be done only
through Confiscation, prosperity would diffuse itself throughout the
country as easily as the sun scatters its light.
