Excerpt from Wage-Labor and Capital The first, entitled wage-labor and Capital, was trans lated for us by Dr. Harriet E. Lothrop, of Boston, from the standard German edition prepared by Engels in 1891. This is the only complete English edition of it that has yet appeared, and its accuracy was doubly se cured by a critical comparison of its every sentence with the German text, made at the request of the translator by Herman Simpson, of New York, who also added foot notes wherever comment seemed needful. In the perform ance of their respective task, both kept in mind the all important consideration, that in the works of Marx, as in all works, truly scientific, the exact expression is an essential factor and should not, therefore, be sacrificed to literary style in its transfer from one language to another.

Excerpt from Labor and Capital It is any man's or woman's efforts to live and prosper, whether of body or of mind, or of both; whether in agriculture, or commerce, or manufactures, or mechanics, or in either of the numerous branches of these great and comprehensive pursuits; whether in the useful or fine arts, in digging ditches or digging out the sciences; whether in a professional career, or in making books in teaching, or in study; in legislation, or in government; in making pins, or casting cannon; in the use of hands or of feet, of fingers or of toes, of muscles or of brains; in search of knowledge, or in its application; in inventions, or their uses; in making canals, or building ships; erecting railroads, or constructing locomotives; in burning lime or brick, in quarrying or in masonry; in wielding a sledge-hammer, or making watches; in grinding knives, or selling brick-dust; in fishing for oysters, or harpooning whales in any one of the thousand occupations, of the city or the country, on the land or on the sea; and so on, and so on, to the end of that infinite diversity of human pursuits, by which men and women toil for a livelihood, and to get on in the \world.

Excerpt from The Wage-Workers of America and the Relation of Capital to Labor It is said that all the laboring classes of the civilized world have been, and are, as a body poor. This is an incorrect statement, for the ques tion arises who are the poor and who are the rich Poverty and wealth are at best only relative states or conditions. When the ques tion is viewed philosophically, it is not proper to make a comparison from the standpoint of ownership. Or how much wealth one has, but conditions. One may be miserably poor and have plenty of money. Our object, however, is not to champion the cause of the poor with a View of making everybody rich, or to make the rich richer, or to take from them what by right belongs to them but what we contend for is justice, that all men may have an equal chance under the law of the land to acquire a competency, the same right that nature gives to every man.
