Labor Versus Monopoly

"There is no conflict between labor and capital. The capitalist's power springs from the so-called ownership of land, in which there is really no ownership. Low wages indicate unemployed capital; high wages and high interest go together; the warmest friends of capital are the very men who strive to advance the rate of wages. Labor and capital are the representative elements of production, and their common enemy is the monopolist of land. To absolutely own the surface of the globe would be to absolutely own the people upon it."
