A RADICAL
LINCOLN ON LABOR

Il see in the near future a crisis ap-
preaching that unnerves me, and
causes me to tremble for the safety
of my country. AS a result of war,
corporations have been enthroned,
and an era of corruption in high
places will follow, and the money pow
er of the country will endeavor to
prolong it's reign by working upon the
preJudices of the people until all the
wealth is aggregated in few hands
and the republic is destroyed ! feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety of our country than ever be.
fore, even in the midst of war. God
grant that my forebodings may be
groundless.
Monarchy itself is sometimes hint
ed at as refuge from the power of
the people. In my present position
could scarcely be justified were l to
omit to raise warning voice against
the approach of the returning of des-
potism. 1t is not needed nor fitting
here that a general argument should
be made in favor of popular institu-
tons, but there is one point with its
connections not so hackneyed as most
others to which l ask brief attention.
1t is assumed that labor is available
only in connection with capital; that
nobody labors unless somebody else
owning capital, somehow by the use
of it, induces him to labor. Labor is
prior to and Independent of capital
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and
could not have existed if labor had
not first existed. Labor is the super
ior of capital and deserves higher
consideration. l bid the laboring peo-
pie beware of surrendering the power
which they possess, and which, if sur
rendered, will surely be used to shut
the door of advancement for such as
they, and fix new disabilities and bur-
dens upon them until all of liberty
shall be lost.
"In the early days of our race, the
Almighty said to the first of man
kind: In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread and since then, if we
except the light and air of heaven, no
good thing has been or can be en-
joyed by us without first having cost
labor And inasmuch as most good
things have been produced by labor,
it follows that all such things belong
! by right to those whose labor has pro-
duced them. But it has so happened
| in all ages of the world that some
have labored and others have without
labor enjoyed a large portion of the
fruits. This is wrong and should not
continue. To secure to each Iaborer
the whole product of his labor, or
nearly as much, is worthy object of
any government.
ut seems strange that any man
should dare to ask just Gods as
sistance in wringing bread from the
sweat of other mems faces.
This country with it's institutions
belongs to the people who inhabit it,"
| Written in 1865.

AMONG ALL of the basic prin-
ciples of economic life, none is more
vital than this-that every ablebodied
adult should have a job; that he
should work at the thing for which he
is best fitted and that he should be
paid the full value for what he pro-
duces.
