To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sins of wealth, though many and grievous, have not generally been aimed directly at the oppression of the poor. While I feel assured that the social disquietude of which I have spoken does not point to the destruction of private property, it is not improbable that it will result in the gradual enlargement of the functions of government, and the ultimate control of natural monopolies. If the government may be safely entrusted with the transmis- sion of our letters and papers, I see no reason... why it may not also of our telegrams and parcels, as is almost uni- versally the case in Europe, or of our passengers and freight, through a State ownership of railways, as in Ger- many, France, Austria and Norway ? If the State owns its highways, why may it not also own its railways? If a 18 municipality owns its streets, and keeps them paved, sew- ered and cleansed, why may it not also light them, water them and transport its citizens over them so far as such transportation involves a monoply of their use?
