Excerpt from A Documentary History of American Industrial Society, Vol. 6: Labor Movement

The cunning men of the East have come to our city, and having capital them selves, or joining with those who had, have embarked in our business, and realized large fortunes, by redue ing our wages, making large quantities of work, and selling at a reduced price, while those who had served their time to the trade, and had an anxious desire to foster and cherish its interests, have had to abandon the business, or enter into the system of manufacturing largely on a large scale], in order to save them selves from bankruptcy.
