But the United States took the slave and left the thing which gave birth to _chattel slavery_ and which is now fast giving birth to _industrial slavery_; a slavery more excruciating in its exactions, more irresponsible in its machinations than that other slavery, which I once endured.

The chattel slave-holder must, to preserve the value of his property, feed, clothe and house his property, and give it proper medical attention when disease or accident threatened its life.

But industrial slavery requires no such care.

The new slave-holder is only solicitous of obtaining the maximum of labor for the minimum of cost.

He does not regard the man as of any consequence when he can no longer produce.
