Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Plague and Peril of Monopoly: A Lecture on Labor, Laborers, and Employes, Delivered, in Lynn, Salem, Haverhill, and Georgetown, Mass;, In the Autumn of 1882 At the time of the delivery of the following address, there were frequent and earnest calls for its publication. It was given in other placed than those named in the title-page, generally to large audiences, and sometimes followed by discussion; though its facts and statements were never questioned, nor did any ever complain of its temper or spirit. At that period the labor and capital question was in tempestuous agitation. Strikes were frequent, - perhaps at times successful to a degree; labor leagues and unions were numerous, but not then unreasonably violent in many instances; while anarchy, boycotting, and dynamite constituted no part of the warfare. Nor are they, nor can they ever be, of anything but disastrous influence to any righteous cause, as none can know too well. The rights, wrongs, and grievances of labor are strongly stated, as well of women as of men; and full, even-handed justice is demanded for both, under the Confucian as well as the Christian Golden Rule of "doing to others as we would have others do to us," and that under all conceivable circumstances. The lessons of the lecture are mainly to what are now termed the laboring class - the class from whence nearly every capitalist came. The old Greek prophecy was, "The gods help those most who best help themselves." Of only self-help can any be sure. Legislation is nothing; lectures are less than nothing to those who do not help wisely and well themselves. And in our country self-help, well and wisely directed, is almost sure to win. The slave power of our Southern states forbade all slaves even the alphabet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
