Let us hear Mr. Wells for few moments in his talk
with the laborer:
with the great superabundance of operatives IN this
country aud their nonrenuucTatlve compensation grow

they eau walk and without undcring them with books,

Yourselves back to realizing OF that delcctable

am satisfied that should insist upon honest and
fall talk by Mr. Wells, with all the abused classes whom
he addresses in his condensed effort. it would be only
obtain similar confessions, sId therefore foreear But
dsnlssing my advocate Mr. Wells would 1t not be well
TO examine a few plain propositions. Flrst 81 That
house divided against itself cannot stand" and in this
diversified country Of ours at least politically Isolated
from, and unsympathizIng with, most other ma
tions We must mutual interest IN the welfare Of
each and all the varied classes Of industry and produc
ton confident that JudcOus and fostering care over
each will tend best for the good Of all Second: That in
competing as a nation with other nations we must in
lose in the contest Third That in the articles which
produce VIC must advantage Ia their produc
ton and disposal to overcome the difference ia favor Of
the coerced labor Of poverty and the concentrated cap
tai Of the powerful few under the Governments Of
Europe.
Does any one dream that In this great and extended
country we can all be farmers all abOrers or all
manufacturers or all capitalists Can any be foolish
enough 10 believe that short OF undermining the very
foundations and principles OF our Government ana
ignoring the results We anticipate from those pIucpes
