Excerpt from The Next Phase of Civil Progress
It is important to distinguish these three agencies, es pecially the second and third, - 1st, in order to exclude the violence incident to premature urgency as regards the realization of schemes of political reform 2d, to exclude the prejudice which such urgency tends to excite against sound schemes. The discrimination unfolds a rule of po litical art which, if followed, must relieve society of great violence and disorder. It is that the State should ignore schemes of radical political reform until it is probable that they command the assent of a majority. The corn law league was, as propaganda, the proper precursor of the ministerial and legislative action that brought about the repeal of the corn-laws. If the temperance society in the United States had not preclpitated legislation be fore it had secured a majority, it is probable that success would, by this time, have crowned its labors. The dis crimination separates the work of the political philos opher from that of the mere statesman. In so far as the latter has to do with schemes of radical reform, he has to do with only those for which society is ripe; to put others, however sound relatively to a future condition of society, as though they immediately concerned the states man, is to put them in a connection in which they seem altogether absurd. The indiscriminate contempt into which they fall, tends to retard progress by dishonoring and discouraging political philosophy, and by postponing the realization of the discredited schemes.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a solution to the trifold detriment to civil progress: rule by the needy, political apathy of the working class, and excessive individual liberty. The author argues that the first issue can be solved by restricting high-level government positions to wealthy university graduates, as this would promote competence and integrity. They propose countering the political apathy of the working class through education, fostering an appreciation of political economy and its relevance to their well-being. Finally, the author believes that excessive individual liberty must be curtailed to ensure the prevention of crimes against individuals and property, and to alleviate extreme poverty, both of which threaten social order and undermine progress. By addressing these three issues, the author contends that we can foster a more just and prosperous society.
