		<description><![CDATA[The reader, who honours the following sheets, with an attentive perusal, may probably find, that though we have advanced, by wide steps, during « the last century, in the science of politics, we have still much to learn ; and that the summit can only be gained, by substituting accurate research, for delusive speculation, and rejecting zeal of paradox, for moderation of opinion. Mankind are now too enlightened to admit of confident assertion, in the place of satisfactory proof; or plausible novelty, for conclusive evidence: He, consequently, who proposes new modes of argument, must expect contradiction, and he, who draws novel conclusions, from un-common premises, ought to enable the reader to examine his reasonings ;, because it is just inquiry, which can alone establish the certainty of truth on the degradation of error : And little is, therefore, asserted, in the following sheets, without the citation of sufficient authorities, or the mention of authentic documents, which it is now proper to explain.

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE. The present work was written last March, in competition for the Pears prize of one hundred guineas for the best essay on the present depression of trade. It did not obtain the prize, and it is therefore now submitted to the judgment of the public — and more especially of the working classes, with some additional matter in the earlier chapters which could not be compressed within the limits assigned to the competing essays. As our existing land-system in its relation to depression of trade is somewhat fully treated in the following pages, this seems the proper place to state that twelve years of the writer s early life were spent in active employment as a land-surveyor and valuer, during which time he lived chiefly among farmers and country people in various parts of England and Wales. The interest in agriculture and rural life then acquired has been supplemented by observation and study during recent years ; and in now coming forward as a writer on the land question he is not — as is generally assumed by his critics — taking up a new and unfamiliar subject, but is returning, with wider experience and more matured judgment, to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We should be apt to imagine, that, if any doctrine were thoroughly settled among mankind, it would be that respecting the production of wealth by the various classes. As circulators, men of every class have been, in all ages, employed in the pursuit of it, as the source of income, or the means of procuring not only comforts and luxuries, but even mere subsistence. Constantly and intensely employed, as they have been in acquiring it; and aware of what it will do for them, in proportion to the amount they succeed in acquiring; it seems reasonable to expect that most persons, of any reflection at all would have attained a thorough knowledge of, all this leading facts respecting it, its increase or decrease, and the causes operating in both. And what is the actual result? That in no question is there more difference of opinion: nothing seems absolutely, settled or certain. To this hour, the grand fundamental question, on which the whole science of statistics must more or less depend, whether all classes be productive or whether some be unproductive, has no been determined.

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR WITH the present collection the publication of Sumner&#8217;s Essays comes to an end. The original project of publishers and editor contemplated but a single volume — &#8221; War and Other Essays &#8221; — and they accordingly equipped that volume with a bibliography which was as complete as they then could, make it. But when, later on, other materials came to be known about, and especially after the discovery of a number of unpublished manuscripts, the encouraging reception accorded to the first venture led us to publish a second, and then a third collection: &#8220;Earth Hunger and Other Essays&#8221; and &#8220;The Challenge of Facts and Other Essays.&#8221; It was during the preparation of the latter of these, now some five years ago, that the late Professor Callender deplored to the editor the omission of certain of Sumner&#8217;s essays in political economy — in particular those dealing with free trade and sound money. And the reviewers of preceding collections had reminded us, rightly enough, that there should be a fuller bibliography and also an index covering all the essays. In this last volume we have striven to meet these several suggestions and criticisms. And it is now the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[PREVIEW It is an essential part of the case of the silver men that the country is having “hard times.” The bolters from the Republican convention say, in their manifesto: “Discontent and distress prevail to an extent never before known in the history of the country.” This is an historical assertion. It is distinctly untrue. There is no such discontent and distress as there was in 1819, or in 1840, or in 1875, to say nothing of other periods. The writers did not know the facts of the history, and they made use of what is nowadays a mere figure of speech. People who want to say that a social phenomenon is big, and who do not know what has been before, say that it is unparalleled in history. There has been an advancing paralysis of enterprise and arrest of credit ever since the Sherman act of 1890 was passed. The bolters say that “No reason can be found for such an unhappy condition of things save in a vicious monetary system.” The reason for it has been that the cumulative effect of the silver legislation was steadily advancing to a crisis. The efforts by which the effects of that [...]
