Edition Description: New York Weekly edition (chapters I-III, pages 1-2 in New York Weekly, v. XXXII, no. 45, September 24, 1877):

The incidents upon which the following story is founded, are mainly derived from facts that have come under my personal observation. My aim is to portray the perils of the poor, and call attention to a state of affairs, which is a constant source of danger to our social system, for the purpose of ameliorating the one and correcting the other. I utterly repudiate and denounce mob law, whether it appears in broadcloth armed with rifles, or in rags with stones and bludgeons, and I believe the real panacea for the present trouble lies in a just and prudent legislation, which will protect the rich and poor from avarice, outrage, and starvation. - John Erigena Barrett

The clouds, which rise with thunder, slake, Our thirsty souls with rain; The blow most dreaded falls to break, From off our limbs a chain; And wrongs of man to man but make, The love of God more plain. - Whittier
First Sentence: "Tear up the track!" "down with the corporations!" "death to the black-hearted capitalists!" (New York Weekly edition)
Last Sentence: He trusts to the prudent patriotism of the country, and to its discreet legislators to supply a remedy for existing evils, so that this proud republic may never again witness such a storm of passion as that which swept over the nation during disastrous strike of 1877, but that peace may spread her white wings over the destinies of rich and poor, affording full protection to all, and inviting prosperity and happiness to every home.
