Excerpt from The Wage-Workers of America and the Relation of Capital to Labor"Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your ear!"The lines we have quoted above form the introduction to Mark Antony's speech in defense of Cæsar, which is an acknowledgment of the fact that the orator harangues in vain unless he secures the attention of his audience. So we ask you, kind reader, to lend us your attention, and give careful perusal to the following pages to which you are hereby introduced. The wage-interest of the wage-earners of this country and the relation of capital to labor form the text of our dissertation.The object of writing this volume was prompted mainly by a desire to assist our fellow-citizens in solving the problem of the troubled labor question, which we believe to exist principally in a misconception of the true relation of capital to labor. Civic disturbances, in the form of riots and lockouts, are signals, or evidences, to the inquiring mind that there is something wrong somewhere in the administration of the government; for it is certain, peradventure, that so long as the self-evident rights of man are respected and maintained by the laws of any country, peace and prosperity will reign supreme, for there will be no need for political reform, and, with this object in view, it will be worth any effort we are capable of in aiding to bring about such a condition.The relation of capital to labor is spoken of as an unsolved problem. From the fact, then, that the question is profound and intricate, much deep study and extended research is involved; still we hope our efforts will be rewarded in finding a correct solution. Agitation keeps the subject before the people. Some of the most profound thinkers of the nation are beginning to search for the primary causes of the many undesirable effects, demonstrated in the form of civic disturbances, which have not only cost millions of dollars, but thereby the lives of many citizens have been sacrificed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
