They organize in vain; they protest in vain; they appeal in vain.

Civilization is doing its work.

"To him that hath, more shall be given; to him that hath nothing, even that shall be taken from him." Let us turn to the South and see if a black skin has anything to do with the tyranny of capital; let us see if the cause of the laboring man is not the same in all sections, in all States, in all governments, in the Union, as it is in all the world.

If this can be shown; if I can incontestably demonstrate that _the condition of the black and the white laborer is the same, and that consequently_ _their cause is common_; that they should unite under the one banner and work upon the same platform of principles for the uplifting of labor, the more equal distribution of the products of labor and capital, I shall not have written this book in vain, and the patient reader will not have read after me without profit to himself and the common cause of a common humanity.
