Think of the powers now wasted; of the infinite fields of knowledge yet to be explored; of the possibilities of which the wondrous inventions of this century give us but a hint. With want destroyed, with greed changed to noble passions, with the fraternity that is born of equality taking the place of the jealousy and fear that now array men against each other, with mental power loosened by conditions which give to the humblest comfort and leisure; who shall measure the heights to which our civilisation may soar?<br /><br />"The rise of wages, the opening of opportunities for all to make an easy and comfortable living, would at once lessen and would soon eliminate from society the thieves, swindlers, and other classes of criminals who spring from the unequal distribution of wealth...<br /><br />"Industrial changes imply social changes and necessitate political changes.<br /><br />"Progressive societies outgrow institutions as children outgrow clothes.<br /><br />"For every social wrong there must be a remedy. But the remedy can be nothing less than the abolition of the wrong.<br /><br />“If there were but one person in the world, it is manifest that he could have no more wealth than he was able to make and save.
