Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Neighbor the Workingman I have written this book in no spirit antagonism to the American workingman. I have always looked upon him, when he has been a true American, as the vertebral column of the republic. I know him and have lived with him. I have been a workingman and know his thoughts. I have been with him from the field to the forest. I have rounded up cattle with him in the Far West, on the back of a mustang, before the cowboy was known as a distinct race, have rolled a truck on the deck of a steamer, and driven a stage. I have been through the whole gamut of the workingman, omitting the saloon and its kindred precincts. I have been pastor in the greatest city of the land, and known both the capitalist and the workingman there, both of whom were in my congregation. For more than a quarter of a century I have been a college president, and have raised many thousands of dollars to help the workingman´s sons and daughters through college, and there are no better students than they. I have not written, therefore, as a theorist outside of my subject, nor as one unfriendly to the men whom I discuss. I am in hearty sympathy with them from the man who labors with the pick and shovel to the skilled mechanic.
