Abstract
ALARMED discontent pervades the minds of most who reflect on the present state of our social organization, or who have to play some conscious part, small or great, in its conduct. Some diagnose the trouble as due to an upheaval in the ordained stratification of society, accompanied by and made more evil by failure in the mutual duties of the respective strata (or classes). Their remedy, in general terms, is to restore order mitigated by a cautious benevolence. But in their camp are not a few fleeing travellers throwing their load to the pursuing pack in a flurried haste, which, however, does not prevent a determination to make their own property the last sacrifice.
