2 LAND AND LABOR TESTIMONIALS. 



From the Hon. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, of New York. 



WEST NEW BRIGHTON, STATEN ISLAND, N. Y., 



DEC. GTH, 1882. 

 My Dear Sir : 



I HAVE read the sheets of your work with very great 

 interest and pleasure. It is a treasury of most significant facts 

 which, so far as I know, are not elsewhere so conveniently collected. 

 The work is a valuable contribution to an unavoidable and most 

 important discussion, and will certainly command the attention 

 of all who share the generous hope of harmonizing conflicting social 

 interests. 



Very truly yours, 



GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

From the Hon. DAVID DAVIS, late United States Senator from 

 Illinois, and Acting Vice 1'rcs'ulcnt. 



UNITED STATES SKNATF. CHAMBER, 



WASHINGTON, JUNE 5ra, 1879. 

 Dear Sir : 



I HAVE read with much interest and instruction the 

 proof sheets of "The Labor Problem" which you weiv kind enough 

 to send me. 



The facts presented in that paper are worthy of the most serious 

 attention of the Statesman and Legislator. They apply to one third 

 of our whole population, now prostrated by want of employment and 

 isonable reward for their toil. No country can expect to flourish 

 with its lalor degraded ;ind dejuvemted. In the United States labor 

 i> honorable, and may be said to constitute the bone and sinew of the 

 Republic. In war it is the most sure resource of defense, ami in 

 peace it has always been, and always must be, the chief element of 



nal prosperity. 



\Vho< ver can solve what is called "the Labor Problem," by which 

 fourteen millions of willing hands will be set at work, with just com- 

 pensation to dev.-ite their condition and to educate their child PH. 

 should be regarded the greatest public benefactor. It is my highest 

 ambition to contribute to that object, in any proper way by which it 

 may be attained, in or out of Congress. 

 With gn-at respect, 



Yours truly, 



DAVID DAVIS.
