On this whole subject of labor, the corner-stone of my creed is laid deep. I hold that no society is well or safely organized, whatever its apparent strength, which does not rest on a sound organization of labor; and that cannot be when the working-man is by any contrivance defrauded of his wages — that is, of his just share of the profits of his own labor.

— Eugene Casserly Celebration at Tammany Hall (1870)
