This condition of affairs is wrong, and must be remedied. Now the remedy must be carefully undertaken. It cannot be done by bringing to pass absolute equality between men. The Law of Order must always obtain in the world of humanity. Humanity, like a great army, requires a general, captains, underofficers in their degree, and soldiers, each with their appointed duties.
Degrees are absolutely necessary to ensure an orderly organization.
An army could not be composed of generals alone, or of captains only, or of nothing but soldiers without anyone in authority. Certainly, some being enormously rich and other lamentably poor, an organization is necessary to control and improve this state of affairs. It is important to limit riches, as it is also of importance to limit poverty. When we see poverty allowed to reach a condition of starvation, it is a sure sign that somewhere we shall find tyranny. Men must bestir themselves in this matter, and no longer delay in altering conditions which bring the misery of grinding poverty to a very large number of people.
