fruits of their doings.
The only way can bring into practical
existence uniform and universal equality
of results is, first to effect an entire change
in the economy of Nature and of Provi-
dence. Remove all the inequalities from
both and establish for them one uniform
and universal standard for the operations
Of the former and for the dispeasations OF
the latter, so that all men and women COM
ing into the world shall be precisely of the
same form. size and stature. and that men
tally, intellectually and morally no one
man or woman shall differ from another.
and that each and all must possess exactly
the same quantities of energy, ambition.
industry and enterprise. Nor would all
this be sufficien, to secure uniform and
universal equality of results. You must
take Providence next under your control
and guidance. and make lis dispensa,:ons
and visitations equally alike TO all in point
of character and visitation. But this is
not enough TO secure equality universally.
You must have for all an equal field on
which to act-equal objects of pursuit
equal means and equal facilities and op-
portunities to insure success alike equal
to all.
Now here is the starting poin, for these
dreamers and advocates of universal eqra..

of their task. It is an "a priorii'' labor
