This is a book about people with different ideas about democracy from those that prevail today. Wisconsin's early progressives would have been astonished by the focus historians have placed on producer identifications. They identified mainly with their roles as consumers and taxpayers, and they gravely doubted whether the existing political economy could ever meet their needs. Many of them favored public ownership of certain corporations because the particular relationship of those corporations to the political process made it impossible for consumers to receive redress in any other way. For these early progressives oppression resulted from "special privilege," not from relationship to the means of production. A socialist state could be as dominated by special privilege as a capitalist one, and it, too, could deny real power to consumers.

Excerpt from Our State and Nation, or Civics Made Interesting, Practical and Comprehensible for Children: A Text Book on Civil Government for the Common Schools of Illinois The national government is in Washington District of Columbia, for its Chief officials are there, but its minor officials are scattered all over this, country and over other countries where they are needed. The state government is in Springfield, and minor state officials are scattered over the state where they are needed. The county government is at the county seat, and the town government meets at the Town House. The city government meets at the City Hall. The City or village government is made up of the officials that are elected by the people who live in the village or city. Its laws, called ordinances, are made by these officials, and provide rules for doing what needs to be done in the city or village that is not already taken care of by state laws, such as paving the Streets.
