IMPOVERISH THE MANY And ENRICH the FEW He advocates what is Just and Fair to all classes, and resists unjust encroachment on the part of any class, being profoundly convinced that that the MAXIM OF GENERAL PKOSPEKITY can only be attained by IMPARTIAL EQUITY and the studious observance of economic law Wrongs injure the prosperity of the person wronged Widespread and general Wrongs, therefore, Cause widespread and general Depression When collective or legislative wrong' are clearly seen by the People, they can be redressed by intelligent constitutional lolitical action. To assist in achieving this most desirable end Spencer's Weekly is being launched* and solicits the sympathy and practical support of all who belie re that National Prosperity is Based Upon Natitm il fibhteonsness.
