The first innovation which democracy brings into family life is the equality of the sexes, and this is followed by woman's disrespect for man. This idea, be it admitted, is substantially correct, it only ceases to be true when it is viewed relatively to the varying competences of the two sexes.
It splits into four handsome properties; each of these into four good inheritances; these, again, into scanty competences for four ancient maidens, with whom it is best the family should die out, unless it can begin again as its great-grandfather did.

He came to all the children of men and they can all stand by that cradle this morning and claim Him as their own; ask, receive, and share in His blessing.

It is true that numerous Uitlanders acquired competences, and some were amassing fortunes, but such prizes were comparatively few.
