Excerpt from Poverty Its Genesis and Exodus; An Inquiry Into Causes and the Method of Their Removal
The problem of poverty is an ever-present and an ever-pressing problem.
Borne to us on the winds of the centuries is the sad refrain - "For the poor always ye have with you," and to-day we take up the same bitter cry. Nay, it has grown in volume as the years have sped; and increasing prosperity seems but to accentuate it. The nation has accumulated riches, but the poor remain; and the very advance of civilisation, with its diversified refinements, comforts, and luxuries, its expansion of industry and development of commerce, has given rise to forms of poverty peculiar to itself; and with masses of the workers has rendered their toil more severe, their surroundings more dreary, and their lot more depressing. "Progress and poverty" have gone hand in hand.
