Excerpt from Social Evils, Their Causes and Cure: Being a Brief Discussion of the Social Status, With Reference to Methods of Reform The load of evils which burdens American society at present is in dark contrast with the progressive institutions which place this people in advance of all others, and serve as a light to guide the nations on to liberty and enlighten ment. These evils appall philanthropists who would fain apply the remedies for their removal, and often discourage philanthropic effort, when a full view is taken of their wide spread in¿uences. To undermine and destroy them appears like a more Herculean task than the cleansing of the Augean stables of old, and whoever lifts a hand to this work in earnest, needs, like Hercules, to be strong for the work neither faint-hearted nor weak-handed.
