well rs in the general tone of the insurgents.
In these documents we find the abridgement
of the existing right of suffrage and the de-
NAL to the people of all right to participate
in the selection of public officers except the
! Legislative body, advocated with labored ar
guments to prove that large control of the
Government in the people is the source of all
political evil. Monarchy itself is sometimes
limited at AZ a possible refuge from the power
Of the people. In my present position |
could scarcely be justified were | to omit
raising warning voice against this approach
Of returning despotism. 1t is not needed
nor fitting here that u general argument
should be made in favor of popular nstitu
tons, but there is one point with its conncc-
tions not SO hackneycd as most others, to
which | ask brief attention.
THE RELATIONS OF CAPITAL TO LABOR.
1t is the effort to place capital on an equal
with, if not above labor, in the structure of
government IL is assumed that labor is
available only in connection with capital
that nobody labors unless somebody else own
ing capital, somehow by the use of it induces
him TO labor This assumed. it is next con.
sidered whether it is best that capital shall
hire laborcrs and thus induce them to work
by their own consent, or buy them and drive
