From Leland Stanford
Each co-operative institution will become a school of business in which each member will acquire a knowledge of the laws of trade and commerce.
I am in favor of carrying out the Declaration of Independence to women as well as men. Women having to suffer the burdens of society and government should have their equal rights in it. They do not receive their rights in full proportion.

When money is controlled by a few it gives that few an undue power and control over labor and the resources of the country. Labor will have its best return when the laborer can control its disposal.
Laboring men can perform for themselves the office of becoming their own employers.
The real conflict, if any exists, is between two industrial systems.
