"The gradual trend toward equality of conditions is a fact of Providence, of which it bears the principal characteristics: it is universal, it is enduring, it constantly eludes human powers of control, all events and all men contribute to its development.
"Would it be wise to think that a social movement of such remote origin can be suspended by efforts of one generation? Can it be supposed that democracy, after destroying feudalism and overwhelming kings, will yield before the powers of money and business-- devant les bourgeois et les riches?
"What then does the future hold? No one can say."
