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 The Question: Labour and Capital This small book, which I now submit to the public, has been written with the view of showing that the young American working-man has the power of providing for his own well-being, and that there is no just ground of controversy between him and the capitalist. I have shown that under our civilization these parties must work together, and that this is for their mutual benefit. They are equally dependent on the market for the compensation they must receive for their respective wages and profits. If the labourer refuses to work on this basis, he can have no wages; and if the capitalist refuses such profit for his instruments as the market will give, he will get nothing. The question is precisely the same as with a merchant who holds his goods above the market. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
