The entire quote from Hayes is:
"Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty. As millionaires increase, pauperism grows. The more millionaires, the more paupers."
I am not sure why it has been remembered, but it is to the point and said by a famous person. It seems applicable today as well as 125 years ago when it was said. It is somewhat ironic since Hayes was elected in large part by plutocrats and was no pauper himself. Perhaps the irony appeals to people who quote it today.

Plutocracy is the "rule of money": rich people dominate society and politics.
Oligarchy is when a few people share political power, at the expense of everyone else.
Aristocracy, although it can be an oligarchy, is the rule of the elite, under a social class system. Most often it is used to refer to the rule of royalty or nobility, although some say money is forming a new aristocracy.
A bureaucracy is a form of government in which the large number of small officials (who work their way to becoming useful officials through tests) work under higher officials to provide efficient ruling of a large area. This was mostly used in pre-20th century China.

Democracy is (theoretically) governed by all of the people. An oligarchy is ruled by a small group of people... as "oli-" means "few." Some might argue that the broken democratic system of the US is creating a specific type of oligarchy called a plutocracy, which is when the wealthy rule.

pretty much anywhere, to a degree.
Plutocracy is rule by the wealthy, or power provided by wealth. Plutocracies define themselves through high economic inequality and low social mobility. Examples of plutocracies are some city-states in Ancient Greece, the civilization of Carthage the Italian merchant republics of Venice, Florence, Genoa, and pre-WWII Empire of Japan.

The political word that most closely represents the opposite of socialism is 'plutocracy', but then again, any form of economic elitism that seeks the political objective of maximum economic benefit for a tiny minority at the expense of the majority would be the opposite of socialism. There are many real-life examples of this, whether or not the government self-identifies: Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Cuba, and more.

Yes. The idea behind a Republic is that all matters of state are considered a public matter, and those voted into office are done so by election. An oligarchy isn't a "proper" form of government - it simply states that power rests in the hands of a small, select group. This could be a monarchy, hierarchy, aristocracy, plutocracy, etc. Even a Republic can be a de factooligarchy.
