Excerpt from The New Republic, Vol. 1 of 3
During the past decade there has been a vast number of books, and almost a surfeit of general literature, treating of the various subjects connected with political economy and suggesting various changes and reforms in our political system - changes that might tend to correct abuses and prevent a drift of our government and institutions away from the solid moorings upon which it was planted by our forefathers; and, believing that I may have something that will interest the curious and perhaps instruct the less learned in politics, I offer for the consideration of my countrymen the New Republic.
I hope the title I have chosen will not suggest the thought that I herein advocate revolutionary measures, for I know too well the conservative disposition of the American people to expect them to be interested in theories that call for the adoption of totally new experiments in legislation. Evolution, rather, must be the order of progress, especially when the political system is well grounded in correct principles, as I take it to be the case in the United States.
