The empire of Great Britain and Ireland now suffers from a greater degree of misery, poverty and misery than it has ever actually suffered in many previous centuries.

Now, whatever may be apparent improvements, the actual poverty and degradation of our country are growing, and will continue to grow rapidly, until the causes of both conditions have been eradicated and replaced by factors of completely opposite nature.

Never before in the United Empire of Great Britain and Ireland were such innumerable conditions available to relieve the whole people from such misery, degradation and danger.

The people in power in our country have not come up with any reasonable way to provide practical relief once and for all to thousands of people struggling in poverty. Their homes have unnecessarily become the source of all kinds of suffering that endanger life. Yuansou.

These people in power are otherwise incapable of exercising full power on this issue and applying practical knowledge to take advantage of the country's abundant conditions to free the people from ignorance and evil, both of which are the basis of all existing The source of harm.

This assistance of power and practical knowledge can only be provided by the express opinion of the most thoughtful, wise, and cultivated portion of society in every quarter.

and perpetuate poverty, then they are totally wrong.

These gentlemen have brought before the public all the objections that clever and resourceful people can raise, and I am personally very grateful. What I wish is that the whole scheme may be fully examined and studied, so that nothing of its immediate effects or its most indirect consequences shall be unknown to the world. It will withstand the strongest and most stable light, otherwise I would not defend it.

I say this with full confidence and not afraid of anyone’s objections. I had a sound and clear picture of the vast project before me, and I knew it would stand up to this test. I know that as it is tested, even by its strongest opponents, it will increasingly clear away foolish misunderstandings. Posterity will discover that this plan was complete and coherent in all its purposes.

Here I would like to ask these gentlemen:

If children are carefully nurtured from the earliest age, will this create, increase and perpetuate poverty? What about the practice of poverty?

If children are taught with correct and precise practical knowledge, will this be a practice that creates, increases and perpetuates poverty?

If children are taught Would not acquiring health, developing benevolent dispositions and other good habits, and equipping them with a positive and cheerful work style be the very practices that create, increase, and perpetuate poverty?

What if in If every man among the working classes should be taught a knowledge of gardening, agriculture, and the practical business of at least one other trade, industry, or occupation; if we should educate every woman on the best methods of caring for, and educating, her children, Children perform all the daily chores of the house and make life comfortable for themselves and others; if we also teach women the practical practices and knowledge of gardening and some useful, easy and healthy industrial labor, let me ask this Might these or any of these parts of the plan be practices that create, increase, and perpetuate poverty?

If the roots of ignorance, wrath, revenge, and all other evil passions were removed, this would Wouldn't it be a practice that creates, increases and perpetuates poverty?

If all the people of a country are trained to be temperate, diligent and moral, will this be a way to create, increase and perpetuate poverty? What is the approach to the phenomenon?

If we are united in a spirit of sincere unity and mutual cooperation, and no one has the slightest feeling of distrust, will this create, increase and perpetuate poverty? What about the phenomenon of poverty?

If the world's wealth is increased by 3 times, 10 times or even 100 times, will this be a method that creates, increases and perpetuates poverty?

There are many other questions I could ask these gentlemen, and their answers may not be as ready as the answers to the questions just posed, but I need only ask one.

What means can they propose to free our people from the ignorance, poverty and depravity which are so commonplace? If these phenomena are not checked quickly, they will soon engulf all classes in chaos and chaos. In the scene of destruction.

I know they are unlikely to be able to formulate a response based on any reliable actual knowledge of the subject. It would be an indescribable pleasure to me if our Government, our Parliament, and any party could have the necessary knowledge and practical experience to eliminate the evils, both physical and mental, that are beingfallen our people and those of other countries. For many years I have patiently and calmly sought this knowledge among the wisest, most enlightened, and most experienced men of all classes, sects, and parties throughout the country. I would use any source from which I can derive the knowledge I need. While thousands of our countrymen are needlessly struggling in poverty, and their offspring are wasting away every moment before their parents' eyes, I follow anxiously the activities of the committees of both Houses of Parliament, wondering whether any relief measures are imminent. But I soon discovered, to my great regret, that they had not the slightest knowledge or experience necessary for a partial or complete understanding of the subject. They soon became mired in a tangle of details just enough to bewilder their sanity and destroy all the country's hopes. It is now my duty to point out that, if they carry on as they are for a hundred years, they will remain in the dark, and will never be able to pass a reasonable bill on this important question affecting the welfare of the whole Empire. I feel that way, and it's as clear in my mind as I see you all now. Shall I still stand by and remain indifferent? Should I adhere to meaningless forms and customs and keep silent? No, so far as my knowledge is concerned, suppose that I do not do anything for any personal purpose. If I try to let everyone hear the still weak voice of truth, wouldn’t I become the number one sinner of mankind? This voice of truth has flown out like a dove on the ark and will never come back.

This truth will never stop moving forward until it has traveled and filled every corner of the world.

Its influence will drive away and destroy all miasma and all foul and evil things. Friends, it will turn our country and all other countries into a paradise for rational animals. However, friends, as an ordinary and realistic person and a person who has been familiar with human affairs for a long time, I propose to you: before this period comes, you have many things to get rid of and you have many things to learn. This change in your actions will not and cannot be accomplished by magic. This can only be done gradually, step by step - by the application of correct principles in practice - and only on the basis of incipient imperfections, until experience suggests better and more advantageous ways.
