ABSTRACT

Samuel Couling was a British citizen and missionary living in China; he and his fellow missionary Frank Chalfant assembled a set of ‘oracle bones’ from early Chinese dynasties that were then purchased by the British Museum in 1911. There can be no efficient remedy, however, for this state of things until truth and justice are the governing principles of the employer. Physical force [engaged in by the workers] will never raise the wages of working men. Working men can only be benefited by truth and conviction. Competition has done much to ruin trade, the remedy for this must be sought for in the associative progress now making. Competition has been the one idea for long enough now. Neither Fourierism, nor Cabotism, nor Proudhonism, nor Socialism, nor Communism, nor Louis Blancism, is what is precisely wanted.
