Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Appeal to the Common Sense of the People As the circulation of gold and silver alone would be cumbersome and inconvenient, the Republicans established the national bank ing system, which gives the people a currency for which they can obtain gold or silver on demand. As every dollar issued by these banks is secured by a pledge of United States bonds deposited in the United States Treasury, no bill-holder has ever lost a cent by them, nor is it possible for him to do so, unless the government itself becomes insolvent.

Download or read book Red Rose Pamphlets written by Order Of The Red Rose and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Red Rose Pamphlets: No; 5-13 The condition of England at the present time may properly be described as one of political agitation. That is to say, people are much more concerned about the duties of other people than about the performance of their own. While the masters of industry are complaining bitterly of the encroachments of the trade unions and the reckless extravagance of the working man, the working man himself is being filled with bitter hatred of the capitalist while he mutters demands for regulation of his power. Agitation in all its forms is being fostered by modern electioneering methods, by both the great political parties and by the newspapers of every political complexion. It is clear that such a state of things must be ephemeral. No great state can exist except by virtue of the deepest social affection, the most sincere cc-operation and mutual regard. The present state of agitation has already brought us to the verge of a crisis in the important sphere of industry. But the labour troubles of the last few years will have served a good purpose if they have convinced our statesmen that a proper industrial policy can be pursued only by those who have sound political motives, and a clear idea of national aims. It is one thing to plunge into the chaos of our industrial centres, to see a mass of suffering and degradation, and to appoint factory inspectors for its relief; it is quite another thing to appreciate the causes which make this relief necessary and to seek to reform the existing system without regarding any part of that system as necessary or inevitable. No man can be regarded as a serious statesman who shirks facing the central fact in modern politics. The crisis in industry is the heart and centre, the controlling factor, of the situation. Here lies the problem waiting for solution, and here precisely is the difficulty we are in duty bound to overcome. If we find the way to surmount this obstacle to progress we shall found a new tradition Until the obstacle is surmounted, decay and not progress is the word we must use if we would accurately describe the state of our civilisation. But if we can find the way to establish a new tradition by our triumph over a single difficulty we shall supply that Vital essence without which the most perfect system is useless, which itself also can mould into practical shape any system it inspires. It is, then, in the hope of making a practical experiment and of founding a tradition that we set out to examine the condition of industry. The industrial system, as we know it, is of recent origin. The vast population of this country has grown up in poverty and misery in consequence of the system and our education and morality have been profoundly modified in obedience to those who invented or who control it: It is, in consequence, very difficult for us to understand that the evils we see around us are due to man's folly and not to the decrees of a cruel fate. And yet it becomes obvious to anyone who has studied history that most of the evils of the system are preventible by the application of perfectly sound and perfectly simple principles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commonwealth of Reason As the end of all government is, or ought to be, the security, happiness, and advantage of the governed, and not the exclusive benefit and interest of those i11t1usted with the legislative or executive power, who should only be considered as the organs by Which the majority of the community express their will, and as the servants of the Commonwealth, amenable at all times, for their conduct. To the people, these being the fountain from whence alone can spring legitimate, authority; it may not be unacceptable, in these speculative times, when the science of political government-appears to have awakened men's curiosity in an extraordinary degree, and the greater part of the world seem bent on the investigation of its principles, and on the destruction of those abuses, the existence of which has but too long disgraced civilized society, to have some mode pointed out, by which, should any of the present systems, so fraught with ruin, and injurious to the true interests of mankind, be abolished, we can reasonably hope to obtain what ought to constitute the only object of every institution, whether political or social - public happiness, from which source alone can flow individual felicity.

Download or read book The Paranoid Style in American Politics written by Richard Hofstadter and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely reissue of Richard Hofstadter's classic work on the fringe groups that influence American electoral politics offers an invaluable perspective on contemporary domestic affairs.In The Paranoid Style in American Politics, acclaimed historian Richard Hofstadter examines the competing forces in American political discourse and how fringe groups can influence — and derail — the larger agendas of a political party. He investigates the politics of the irrational, shedding light on how the behavior of individuals can seem out of proportion with actual political issues, and how such behavior impacts larger groups. With such other classic essays as “Free Silver and the Mind of 'Coin' Harvey” and “What Happened to the Antitrust Movement?, ” The Paranoid Style in American Politics remains both a seminal text of political history and a vital analysis of the ways in which political groups function in the United States.

Download or read book The Politics Industry written by Katherine M. Gehl and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading political innovation activist Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter bring fresh perspective, deep scholarship, and a real and actionable solution, Final Five Voting, to the grand challenge of our broken political and democratic system. Final Five Voting has already been adopted in Alaska and is being advanced in states across the country. The truth is, the American political system is working exactly how it is designed to work, and it isn't designed or optimized today to work for us—for ordinary citizens. Most people believe that our political system is a public institution with high-minded principles and impartial rules derived from the Constitution. In reality, it has become a private industry dominated by a textbook duopoly—the Democrats and the Republicans—and plagued and perverted by unhealthy competition between the players. Tragically, it has therefore become incapable of delivering solutions to America's key economic and social challenges. In fact, there's virtually no connection between our political leaders solving problems and getting reelected. In The Politics Industry, business leader and path-breaking political innovator Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter take a radical new approach. They ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis—and Porter's distinctive Five Forces framework—to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does, and how the duopoly has led to the devastating outcomes we see today. Using this competition lens, Gehl and Porter identify the most powerful lever for change—a strategy comprised of a clear set of choices in two key areas: how our elections work and how we make our laws. Their bracing assessment and practical recommendations cut through the endless debate about various proposed fixes, such as term limits and campaign finance reform. The result: true political innovation. The Politics Industry is an original and completely nonpartisan guide that will open your eyes to the true dynamics and profound challenges of the American political system and provide real solutions for reshaping the system for the benefit of all.

Download or read book The Oregon Question Classic Reprint written by Albert Gallatin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oregon Question I had been a pioneer in collecting facts and stating the case. The only materials within my reach consisted of the accounts of voyages previously published, (including that of Maurelle, in Barrington's Miscellanies), of the varied and important information derived from Humboldt's New Spain, and of the voyage of the Sutil and Mexicano, the introduction to which contains a brief official account of the Spanish discoveries. The statement of the case was the best I was able to make with the materials on hand, and may be found defective in many respects. Since that time manuscript journals of several of the voyages have been obtained at Madrid. New facts have thus been added; others have been better analyzed, and some errors rectified. Arguments which had been only indicated have been enforced, and new views have been suggested. The subject, indeed, seems to be exhausted; and it would be difficult to add anything to the able correspondence between the two Governments which has been lately published. Ministers charged with diplomatic discussions are not, however, in those official papers intended for publication, to be considered as philosophers calmly investigating the questions, with no other object but to elicit truth.

Download or read book An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States 10th Anniversary Edition written by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
