Excerpt from Remedy for Existing Evils, Social and Political, and Necessarily a Preventive of All Conflicts Between Capital and Labor The announcement of such remedy, the author is well aware, will be met with skepticism and doubt; not only be cause such efforts have hitherto failed, but because, owing to the predominance of 'our selfish over our social feelings, failure is considered inevitable - a foregone conclusion. Whereas, it is such predominance of the selfish over the social feelings alone that makes such remedy possible, instead of impossible, as generally supposed; and it is in such pre dominance alone that exists the necessity for such remedial' agency, as the author will now proceed to show. To show, then, that such remedy is possible, let us suppose the selfish and social feelings were in equilibrium; then it would depend upon circumstances whether man acted upon his own volition, or that of others.

Excerpt from Social Evils: And Their Remedy Are too often the dupes of Atheists and Socinians; and though I gladly agree with Horsley, that my countrymen have no better relish for the Socinian heresy, than for Atheism; that they think much alike of him who openly disdains the Son of God, and of him who denies the Father, I am, at the same time, well aware that there is no lack of ungodly teachers, whose pretended mission is to reform, but whose real object is to demolish and overturn; who not only despise the sacred laws of the land, but have trodden under foot, to use the awful language of the apostle, the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant of reconciliation an unholy thing.

Excerpt from Labour's Wrongs and Labour's Remedy, or the Age of Might and the Age of Right Whenever any crisis in the affairs of men is about to take place, there is ever to be found a number of people ready to preach up things as they are. These champions fight stoutly and cunningly against the innovation of existing institutions and modes of acting; and they endeavour to reason the sensible and alarm the timid into remaining quiet, and enduring meekly whatever evils they may be afflicted with. Belonging to one class, and having in view a common object, these alarmists attempt to convince the people that everything is almost as well as it can be - that few evils are endured by them which are not necessary consequences of existence-that their governmental burthens may be alleviated by gradual and imperceptible reforms that the present gradations of society, which cause so much discontentment among the poor and the Oppressed, have always existed, and therefore ever must exist-and that any attempts of the productive classes to better themselves by interfering with this natural arrangement of society, will be attended with the most disastrous results to themselves.

Excerpt from The Social Law of Labor There can be no dispute between Labor and Capital, because they are the same thing, some say. But you cannot convince the man starting with his shovel Monday morning, that the ten milled dollars he hopes to receive on Saturday night are of one substance with the sweat and toil he feels must go with the shovel all the coming week. He would like to have the dollars by an easier process. The contractor, who expects one thousand of the dollars now lying in a bank vault, and who sees, before he can obtain them, a possible outlay of three thousand during the week, in his struggle with unseen rocks, concrete gravel, treacherous morass, and sluggish workmen, - this contractor cannot believe that labor and the dollars embodying capital are precisely the same thing. The capitalist who has loaned one hundred thousand dollars the previous week to many contractors, who has spent Sunday in nervous dread reading of strikes and of failures of construction companies, cannot be convinced that his capital and toiling labor are at that moment one substance.

Excerpt from Strikes and Social Problems Is it too much to hope that at this time of day the political economist may claim some part of that indulgence so readily accorded to the natural man? At any rate I shake hands with my opponents, and for more particular explanations and apologies I beg to refer my reviewers to the essay on "Political Economy and Journalism" (infra Essay VIII.)
