Who SAYS so2 Herschell V. johnson, the
Douglas candidate for Vice President The
monstrous heresy is embOdiedi in a speech
-..,s.ila lss-hir, IN pb1s5olphio. -, 'lla III
day OF September, 1856, and is as follows;
we believe CAPITAL SHOULD OWN LA
BOR is there any oOubt that there must be
laboring class everywhereg In ali countries and
under every form Of social organization there
must be a labOring class-a class OF men who get
their living by the sweat of their brow, and then
there must be another class that controls and di-
reefs the capital of the country
Hapd-fsted mechanics and labOrers Of the
North, do you endorse the doctrine that 'cap-
ital should own labor p Win you vote for
a man who avows it ? whopractices upon q +?
who owns and exacts the sweat Of men, wo-
men and children2 who buys, works, and
sells them as he does oxen, horses and asses
Look at the declaration that Capital
should own Labor" inits fun meaning. The
labor of white men is included with black
By "the class of men who get their living
by the sweat of their brow, is not meant ne
grOes merely; any more than that by the
''class that controls and directs the capital Of
the country" is meant owners of negroes. =
lisa general phrase as used blythe Douglas
candidate for Vice President embOdying all
who labor for their bread-white and black
alike. Think of it-ponder the extract free
men of toll, when you work and when you
rast from vo11r labors M ..#
a'Capital should own Labor In the
opinion of the Douglas candidate, this 'lOrd
of the lash, the man who owns Cotton
Factory should own the men, women and
children who attend the spindles and the
looms. So also the man who owns Ma
chine Shop, Furnace, or mandatory Of any
kind. He makes no distinction; all labor
ers should be owned by those who are rich
enough to employ labor, says Herschel v
johnson, the man the Douglas wing of the
Democratic party is laboring to make Vice
President of the United Statesl Free labor
ers of intelligence who support such a eandi-
date, arc half ready for the auction block.
See how H. v. Johnson's DOCTRINES eIem-
pli6ed in the State of Georgia. Mechanics
are sold, Carpenters, Blacksmiths, Wheel
wrights, ETC., and apious" at that In q
GeoEgiA paper zzs fnd the following business
advertisement b5,ss,GAI.ai q. Hsanylpplser, 4o
Canal street. Savannah. GeoFsis- -22----
ss The subscriber has on hand two excellent car
renters three blacksmiths, and one Wheelrlght
al excellent mechanics in their respective ZINES
young strong and healthy, OF quiet . anu Rsaos R:
able dispositions and several Of them quite plous
all of which he will dispose Of al moderate rates
Persons in want of mechanics are invited TO cal
and examine, as they are all desirable workInen'
This advertiser of mechanics for sale is 9
constituent of candidate johnson, and quite
likely a broker of the capitalists "who OWL
labor" Possibly some of the "quite pious'
were owned by the Vice Presidential candi
date. Or he may have been a purchaser of
Carpenter, a Blacksmith, or a Wheelwright
described as "young, strong and healthy.
The candidate no doubt practices just what
he breaches" touching labor. It is the custom
of Southern Capital.
Here is an illustration that came home tC
. Northern Carpenter in Tennessee He wa
seeking Tor employment in the South, ant
was told on boat that mile or two from
the landing a gentleman was very desirou
for carpenter, and he doubtless could OBJ
tain constant employment and good wages
He presented himself, sayiug that he hat
been directed to the gentleman, as being il
want of a carpenter. The Capitalist replie'
az have been much in want Of carpenters
but am now well supplied, having bOlgA
two yesterday" The Northern mechani
made wide tfacks out Of the State wher
HCapital owns Labor y l-
Free Laborers of The North; both Dough-
and johnson are Stamping for your votes o.
the slave masters platform that "CAPrrA
SHOULD OWN LABOR !"
