Description

From the FOREWORD: THE United States is passing through an economic crisis which means freedom or slavery to the people. The present hardship is due to the fact that corporations, not the people, controlled the government. Standard Oil has been the chief factor in the affairs of the nation and conditions are largely what Standard Oil made them. The author here endeavors to tell exactly what these conditions are. He also presents a program for the permanent cure of "hard times" in America. In the hope that this cure will be adopted and that prosperity will be restored, this book is offered. Practical men are speculating to-day on the possibility that our civilization may some afternoon be flashed away by the tick of a telegraph. All these co-operations can be scattered by a word of hate too many, and we left, with no one who knows how to make a plough or a match, a civilization cut off as by the Roman curse from food and fire. Less sensitive civilizations than ours have burst apart.— Henry Demarest Lloyd in "Wealth Against Commonwealth" (published, 1894). The question is not whether monopoly is to continue. The sun sets every night on a greater majority against it. We are face to face with the practical issue: Is it to go through ruin or reform? If we wait to be forced by events, we shall be astonished to find how much more radical they are than Utopias. Louis XVI waited until 1793 and gave his head and all his investitures to the people who in 1789 asked only to sit at his feet and speak their mind. Unless we reform of our own free will, nature will reform us by force as nature does. Our evil causes have already gone too far in producing misery, plague, hatreds, national enervation. — Henry Demarest Lloyd in "Wealth Against Commonwealth." "After me the Deluge." — Louis XV. Then came the French revolution.
