Unfortunately, I can’t find it online either. I have most of his writings in my library. He’s one of my favorites.
Found it at:

Did you have a chance to read it? It shocked me how similar this sounded to our own embrace of Socialism, and I can't help to notice it corresponded to the end of the British Empire. I thought some freepers might find it relevant.
Yes, I read it. Then I gave it to my brother to read. We were both impressed at how perceptive RLS was (back in the latter part of the 19th-Century). Thanks for the reference. I will treasure it.
