To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" When we are told that "Competition" is a "law of Nature, " and that the "struggle for existence" and the "survival of the fittest" are examples set by Nature and intended for Human following, we reply, with J. S. MILL, that "the order of Nature, in so far as unmodified by Man, is such as no being, whose attributes are Justice and Benevolence, would have made with the in- tention that his rational creatures should follow it as an example"; for "in sober truth, nearly all the things which men a...re hanged or imprisoned for doing to one another are Nature's everyday performances. " And, further, we believe, with Sir ARTHUR HELPS, that Fortune "makes things uneven so that men may make them even again"! 22 AETICLE XXV. While Inequality is the first Law of Nature ; the Eecti- fication of Inequalities, natural and artificial, is one of the primary duties of Legislation, and especially the equalisation of men's opportunities, so far as feasible. We believe, with the late Lord LYTTON, that "throughout all creation from the archangel to the worm from Olympus to a pebble from the radiant and completed planet to the nebula that hardens through ages of mist and slime into the habitable world the first law of Nature is Inequality;" and we do not believe in the possibility (at least until human nature is fundamentally altered) of ever equalising, or assimilating, either men's capacities or their fortunes ; but we believe in the sacred duty of securing, so far as may be, to all men " Equality of Opportunity"; and, further, in the duty of the "Strong, " Christlike, " to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please themselves.
