I know that our great nations, notably Germany, are based on exactly the opposite premise that the strength of a state depends on the economic development of its people, on its wealth-producing power.
As long as you choose to remain in either of those wealth-producing places, so long will Cunningham Haze go uninformed. 'Mr. Power, I am overcome. Will you allow me to sit down? Suppose we go into the vestry. It is more comfortable. They entered the vestry, and seated themselves in two chairs, one at each end of the table.
The spread of intelligence amongst the masses of the people, the improvements in sanitation and in the general condition of the people. These have all contributed towards the efficiency of the people, even as wealth-producing machines. Take, for instance, such legislation as the Educational Acts and the Public Health Acts; they have cost much money, but they have made infinitely more.
Your mathematics are not equal to it. The available productivity of the Mississippi Valley exceeds the supply of all the fertile regions of fable or history. The country watered by the Columbia or the Oregon surpasses in wealth-producing power the valleys of the Nile or the Euphrates in ancient times.
Surely, from the large standpoint of true national economy, no wiser use could be made of the vast expansion of the wealth-producing power of the nation under the reign of machinery, than to secure for every woman destined to be a wife and a mother, that relief from the physical strain of industrial toil which shall enable her to bring forth healthy offspring, and to employ her time and attention in their nurture, and in the ordering of a cleanly, wholesome, peaceful home life.

By British help alone, such men believed, could their country hope to thrive as it ought.
We passed through beautiful and enterprising Santa Ana, through miles upon miles of walnut, orange and other fruit groves, through a solid settlement extending far on each side of the road, to Anaheim. And still on through more walnut and orange groves, more wealth-producing crops.
Such a state is the natural result of anarchy, and it is a state that would leave this or any other country an easy prey to a country in which specialization existed. One means team work of great wealth-producing capacity, and the other a state in which the struggle for mere existence would be severe.
