The gulf between employers and the employed is constantly widening, and classes are rapidly forming, one comprising the very rich ...and powerful, while in another are found the toiling poor. As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel.

Little by little the pieces and squares began to come to life and exchange impressions.
