Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Trade Organizations in Politics; Also, Progress and Robbery: An Answer to Henry George
The papers, with the exception Of the second essay, have been left in their original form. They consequently contain some repetition, but this also makes each one to a certain extent complete in itself, which may not be disagreeable to readers in this busy city Of New York. They are all attempts to develop the same idea, namely, that a city should be a political unit in its relations to the State, and that its inhabitants should be allowed to express their political convictions, unhampered by a division into geographical election districts, by which means the trade, business and professional organizations will gradually and peaceably come to take their due part in our public affairs, thereby striking at the root Of our main political and economical evils. In my Opinion, this change in Our government is the One most needed, and must precede _all successful attempts to permanently improve Our civil service, our methods Of transporta tion, our liquor license laws, our tenement house system, and all the most urgently demanded reforms of the day.
