The production of wealth is the result of agreement between labor and capital, between employer and employed. Its distribution, therefore, will follow the law of its creation, or great injustice will be done.

The seeming antagonism between capital and labor is the result of deceptive appearance.

Labor can and will become its own employer through co-operative association.

From my earliest acquaintance with the science of political economy, it has been evident to my mind that capital was the product of labor, and that therefore, in its best analysis there could be no natural conflict between capital and labor.

All legislative experiments in the way of making forcible distribution of the wealth produced in any country have failed.

I have always been fully persuaded that, through co-operation, labor could become its own employer.
