Imperialism

. . . The factory owners did not have the power to compel anybody to take a factory job. They

could only hire people who were ready to work for the wages offered to them. Low as these

wage rates were, they were nonetheless much more than these paupers could earn in any other

field open to them. It is a distortion of facts to say that the factories carried off the housewives

from the nurseries and the kitchens and the children from their play. These women had nothing

to cook with and [nothing] to feed their children. These children were destitute [poor] and

starving. Their only refuge was the factory. It saved them, in the strict sense of the term, from

death by starvation. . . .
