There ere eras in the worlds
history which mark themselves upon
it's pages very distinctly. The rise
and fail of ancient empires, the call
of Abraham, the birth of the Savior,
the rise of Mohammadanism, the
crusades, the dark ages, reformation,
the discovery of the mariners COM
pass, the art of printing, discovery
of America, French revolution, cleo
trio telegraph, anesthetics, photog
raphy and Rosentgent's new light
by which objects enveloped in wood
or flesh can be photographed, may
each be called an era of wonder and
progress in the history Of our race.
But the greatest era OF all is ours.
We are in a great social evolution.
We are changing from hand labor
to machinery in the worlds work !;
this is the day OF the capitalist in
the plenitude of his power. But
the masses are in state OF unrest,
and are becoming educated. Many
are thinking and writing upon the
mighty problem. Competition may
become thing of the past and CO.
operation be put in its stead. The
labor of millions in Asia will come
into competition with the labor of
Europe and America, and as all will
use machinery, who will win Asia I!
Then the day Of REIMBURSEMENT OF
labor and social lite will, yea, must
set in, and sel6shness and worldly
vanity-plutocracy-will be mem>
DRY, but no more a snare or net of
Injustice and merciless egoism.
