SUMMARY REMEDIES. 135 



described, the fact must be fully recognized that how- 

 ever great these evils may be, they are the direct re- 

 sult of the action or nonaction of society, for which it 

 is alone responsible ; and that if, in applying its rem- 

 edies, actual and undeserved damage should be in- 

 flicted, provision for indemnification should be made. 

 But in no case can society become responsible for the 

 failure of any speculation or attack upon the true in- 

 terests of mankind. That whilst confiscations are 

 uncalled for and unjustifiable, the further sacrifice of 

 the interests of society for the benefit of the few can 

 not and will not be endured.
