I HAVE chosen the above terms in preference to Labor and Capital, because they convey more exact ideas. The word labor carries with it the impression of compulsory, or servile, toil. Capital is a word which economists themselves cannot satisfactorily define, and to which they apply only an arbitrary meaning. The things signified by work and wealth are subject to no equivocal interpretation, are understood by all, and stand to each other in the relation of a natural sequence. Speaking from […]

INGALLS 1891 It has been attempted, may times from this platform to show that all things in the realm of physical nature, in animal life or in human consciousness and volition, are under the domination of the law of growth and decay. Given moral and religious susceptibilities, however conspicuous or obscure, increase or diminution of such susceptibility must be attained through a change by minute gradations, as the mind becomes opened or closed to the reception […]

Land and Labor, which is probably the text mentioned in the opening letter, has been appended to the text of Periodical Business Crises. It is frequently attributed to J. K. Ingalls and displays some turns of phrase that make that attribution seem very likely. [/one_third][two_third_last padding=”0 0px 0 10px”] New York, August 26. 1872. HON. A. S.

BY J. K. INGALLS. ⁂ PREFACE I make no apology for intruding this little study upon public notice. If the subject and treatment entitle it to respect, it is well; if not, no explanation or excuse can avail it. It seems evident that no mere partisan is qualified to explain general economical principles. The advocate of protection, or of free trade, has each a distinct purpose and aim, wholly inconsistent with […]

Joshua King Ingalls in “The Shekinah” (1852–1853)

October 2, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur
Through long, long ages has labor sighed and toiled under a worse than Egyptian bondage. Its utmost stretch of memory can scarce recall its pastoral days, when it frolicked and gamboled with the herd upon the plain or mountain side. Enslaved by the gold of civilization, which itself has mined and coined, it is no less oppresssed in the middle of the Nineteenth Century, than it was in the days of ancient barbarism, or more recent feudalism. Nor has it scarce other hope than the oppressed Hebrew felt, when his demand for freedom was met by an increase of task, while at the same time he was compelled to furnish his own material.

J. K. Ingalls, “Reminiscences of an Octogenarian” (1897)

August 14, 2018 Shawn P. Wilbur
These Reminiscences, which largely refer to parties no longer dwellers of our sphere, are mainly the personal recollections of the author, who has never kept any regular diary. Where periodicals and books have been referred to, the memory has been relieved; but otherwise, it has been wholly relied upon. The motive leading to their publication, has been the request of friends, to have them put in readable form; but in addition to that, there are certain ideas I desired to put before the world in as familiar a form as possible.
