CONTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL.


Combinations of capital are becom-
ing more and more frequent in all en-
terprises intended for profit and adj
vantage. From present appearances,
it is not probable that the people of
this country will soon be free from the
overshadowing power of money. Capt..
tai is destined to be the dictator of la
Dor, and the working man obliged to
accept its terms or stand idle Capt.
tai is no longer satisfied to concentrate
its thousands, but latterly brings its
millions into one purpose. The equit-
able adjustment between capital and
labor is one of the difficult problems
of the age, which no one is yet found
wise enough to solve. Fortunate
would it be for the country if some
plan could be devised that would pro-
tect the rights of both. In this great
country there is enough for al, and
suffering among the prudent and
honest laboring classes for the want of
food and clothing should not exist.
Capital can afford to give labor fair
equivalent for services. Where the
compensation falls below the decent
support of an average sized family
there is just cause of complaint: here
is where strikes begin and always will.
When the mechanic or day laborer.
having wife and family, if he be a
man Of ordinary sensibility, he can but
feel keenly when his wife is in want
OF necessary comforts, and he sees his
children clothed but poorly by the side
of lis neighbours children, and he has
no wages to spare to furnish item a
more respectable outfit. There are
capitalists who are considerate towards
the unfortunate, but too manJ there
are who bestow but little or no thought
on the needs of the poor.
With an apparent show of fitness.
the rich assert that the l,borino
men have a like privilege to oieanize
combinations for The maintainsnce of
their rights. But such a conte:t with
capital is an unequal one, and the
most superficial mind can readily see
why it cannot succeed.
The laborer ordinarily has hut lit |
tie to fall back upon when heceases
work. If he stops long to expostulate |
with his employer, himself and family |
soon become breadless. Capital almost
invariably worries out labor conbina-
lions, and defeats their purposes
There has been less disturbance be-

Canton's Finances.

The statement of receipts and expen.
ditures of the city will be found in this
paper, and it will repay a careful peru
sal on the part of all tax payers.
The financial condition of the city will
be seen to be much better than has been
generally supposed. The increase in
the city debt is only $12 675.
The amount of bonds paid and can
celled the past year is 1925. The cost
of building the beautiful engine house,
all provided for, is $4,000; purchasing
Disciple Church property was $1,000; the
market House cost 5000, and for the
City Hall $1,000 was provided, making
sixty Thousand dollars borrowed on city
bonds with which to meet maturing
bonds and purchase and build as we
have said.
Remember this money has been bOr-
rOwed at low rate of interest. So or 8
per cent. The lifted bonds were draw
ing 8 or 10 per cent. These new bonds
too, were sold at premium.
Canton's financial condition will COM
pare faYorably with that of surrounding
towns of q like population. Our i'm
proVements, too, will favorably compare
both as to quality and expense. In fact,
we challenge comparison In all these
respects.
Let our citizens, One and all, examine
carefully the financial exhibit, and then
say if our City Council has not managed
well. We especially advise all csptiOus
to examine and be relieved.
We are glad to learn that gentlemen
who bitterly opposed these improve
ments one year ago, now wish IL undeR-
stood that they favor theml Il
