Once you identified it in a book (my hard copy was in a collection of essays, not Lay Morals), I found it here as well (no download):

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.
