Stran 67 - In future times a great majority of the people will not only be without landed, but any other sort of, property. These will either combine under the influence of their common situation ; in which case, the rights of property and the public liberty will not be secure in their hands : or what is more probable, they will become the tools of opulence and ambition, in which case there will be equal danger on another side.
