Excerpt from Trade Organizations in Politics; Also, Progress and Robbery: An Answer to Henry George
Considering the attention now given to the participation of trade organizations in public affairs, it occurred to me that the following papers, containing some thoughts on this subject, might be of general interest. The first essay, on "Trade Organizations in Public Affairs," was read before the Academy of Political Science in 1884, and treats of the subject from a historical point of view. The second, on "Federalism and the Social Contract Theory," was read before the German Gesellig-Wissenschaftlicher Verein, of this city, in 1883, and is a review of the opposing theories. The third paper, on "Universal Suffrage in Cities," is an argument in favor of the application of the theory advocated in the first essay to the election of our legislators, and was read before the Young Men's Democratic Club in 1885. The fourth is a speech in favor of the application of the same principle to the election of Aldermen, and was delivered at a hearing on the Aldermanic bill before Governor Hill in the same year. Of the next three papers, which were intended to counteract the false start of the trade organizations made last Fall, two are speeches delivered during that campaign against the heresies of Henry George, and the other was written since then on the same subject.
