In 100 years the political and social i'm.
prOVemcnts of the United States and of the
whole world Will be 30 marked in contrast
with the social canEibalism and pitiful
wage slavery Of today that the world will
shndder as it reviews our time The dec
IaratIOn of American independence will be
the only political platform, its inspiration
golden g. 10 If
changed, crowns will fall and thrones
crumhlc; the divine right of kings and the
divine right of capital will be recognized as
sUbterfuges whereby the vicious and idle
lived upon the toll of others. The reign of
Justice Will be inaugJrrated!
The complcXity Of government will dis
appear, for the intricate and burdens0Ine
laws That now obstruct justice and beWilLcrt
ana DesWlnuIt the masses shall be Oblitcr
ated. The rule of individual action will be
the fullest liberty and highest good Of each
compatible with the fullest liberty and high
est good of all. The railroads and channels
of communication, light, water and all
public Improvements will be MANAGED bv
the state in the interest of the people and
owned by the general government. That
superstition of darker past, fetch
taught by selfish partisans and college bred
idiots, that gold should be the basis of
money, will disappear before the full knowl-
edge of the fact that gold basis for a
monetary system was a trick of the money
breeders to make money scarce and dear
and flesh and blood cheap.
Temperance legislation will consist in
every man being a prohibtory law unto him
self, and in this way only can that evil hat
is SO deeply rooted in the human heart that
legislation cannot reach it be controlled
and subdued. With the ameliOration OF
poverty through the just distributions of
the enormous profits of labor and the bOun-
teOuS gifts OF God the per cent. of criminals
Will be reduced to the minimum, and for
the few who fail into evil doing because of
the brute in the family blood that should
have been subdued in their grandfathers
the state will bring all the machinery of
humane power to defend and improve Just
as 1t now brings its power of law to prose
cute and brutaliZe. With individual free
dom and the absolute right of the whole
people to the free use of the earth and its
resources, slavery and inequality will disap-
pear, one sex will have equal opportunities
with the other, and woman's dependence,
the primal cause of mans brutality and
sex slavery, will have become Il thing of the
past.
Marriage will be not so mUch contract
of flesh legaliZed for a fee as Il union of
soul sanctitied by an approving conscience
The tendency toward the accumulation of
great wealth in the hands of a few will de
crease in the next century, for the quick
ened conscience and aroused conceptions of
justice of an intelligent people will class
that man with criminals who holds more
OF the worlds gifts than he can possibly
use while his fellow beings want. The
bOuntles of God shall not be fettered by the
dead, but the earth and the fullness thereof
shall belong in usufruct to the living
Great corporations and business combines,
which constitute the power of plutOcracy
shall be controlled and dominated by ma
tionalism-the creature shall not be greater
than its creator. With government "of,
for and by the people" in fact as well as
tradition, the condition of the laboring
classes will be one of comfort and independ
enCe. Three hours will constitute a long
days work and literally furnish infinitely
more of the benefits of civilization and the
comforts of life than sixteen hours slavish
toll will provide today. Opportunity will
thus be given TO improve and develop those
God given faculties and aspirations that lie
dormant in every human soul. Books and
music, athletic games and mental and phys
thoughts of a healthy, happy, godlike PEG
pie who will send out thought messages
from soul to soul, from place to place, as an
arrow flies from the bow of the archer.
. Agriculture will be developed by elec
fricity, the motive power of the future
Science will take in condensed form from
the rich loan of earth the life force or
germs now found in the heart of the corn,
the kernel of the wheat, the luscious juice
of the fruits A small phial of this life from
the fertile bosom of mother earth will fur
nish man with subsistence for days, and
thus the problems of cooks and cooking
will be solved. The slaughter of animals,
the appetite for flesh meat that has left the
world reeking with blood and bestialized
humanity, will be one of the shuddering
horrors of the past. Slaughter houses,
butcher shops and cattle pens will be con
verted into cOnservatOries and beds of
bloom. Man and beast will hold life sa-
cred, and the vegetarians of the next cen
fury will eXclaim with Goldsmith:
No flocks that range the valleys free.
To slaughter condemn;
Taught by that power that pities me,
| learn to pity them.
The dress of the future will offer no re-
sistance to or compression of action. Bath
house beautiful will not be prematurely
decayed by sickness, distorted by pain or
racked by fashions tortures Vulgarity
will not conceal or expose. ITO the pure
all things will be pure" The practice of
the maxim know thyself' will make the
body honored and resplendent-"tLe tenn
pie Of the Holy Ghost" The race will be
mentally and physically healthier, happier
and handsomer because the mothers of the
race, no longer dependent upon man, will
be freed from his bestiality, while mans
animality will decrease in proportion to the
increase of mentality. Woman shall have
the sole right to say when she shall wear
the crown of motherhood, and our jails and
almshOuses, streets and alleys shall no
longer swarm with the spawn of degraded
men.
Improvements, inventions and startling
discoveries will so crowd and SunerSa5a ono
