Il seems 10 be question Of how the
so-called industrial army will be re-
ceived and disposed Of by The authorities
nj Washington. That to my mind VIII
depend more on the spirit that prevadca
the minds Of the authorities than upon
the army. Tbs latter may Do cAuul
tramps ana vayrants. but while poets
arc born, tfamps are made. Douuuess
there are many factors which have
contributed to produce the PRESENT
unpleasant condition Of things Prob
ably our late civil war was largely
responsible. The tramp element dil
not bring the war, IL hna developed
since, aud multiplied rapidly. Probably
the calling IN and housing up Of our
circulating medium ola year ago In the
interest Of heavy gold capitalists may
have something to DO with ~. When
we eco the effects we naturally l)Ok Tor
causes. Whatever the causes are, We
know tho results are here, and these
We have ~ Rrapple With.
The labofer In every sphere may
have and has grown extravagant and
even ptodigal, and has grown AFRO
giant In demanding more for his labor
than tile capitalist could aii0rd 10 pay
and do Justice 10 himself Admitting
all this, which We do, aud even ailifm
that the laboror N today demands anu
gets twice o. much a. the same class
got thirty or forty yeats ago, and yet
he Il not evidently responsible only
ia q small part for our present bnd
conditions.
ALLOW me 10 digress n little from the
subject matter To my understanding
this ioudal feeling between capital nnd
labor iu all wrong. They should be In
harmony one with nnothur one b
lust ~ important and Indispensable Ia
carrying on business OF the world 90
the other, and unless they cease thoir
hosllhteB 70 each other 10 will be
mixed with other like ingredients
finally eliminating In the destruction
Of ouf government
but now Tor the remedy. Ia this
last ripple IN our political or hunnuinl
waters, my motto u peace. Let Con-
gfoss vote an APPROPRIATION Of sufficient
hm0Lnt that every man may be- set a.
work and be paid fair wages, such as
we uAed 10 give and goi years ago,
before we became 20 foOnshly pxtrasa.
CANT There are plenty OF places f0r
the work 10 DO applied. Oar Country
IA broad, and our nation wealthy and
can well afford TO beauuiy ils pRfks
and grounds, foftify better aud more
deliberately ita coast aud rivers, cities
aud towns. Labor IL wealth when
rightly applied. I hold II TO be q good,
and, 1 may any, an Indispensable
national policy 10 have IN progress
sufficient public works In various local.
tiles 10 absorb oil the surplua labor
within It, bordors Idlenuas breeds dc.
content, while Industry rightly directed
and reasonably compensated bring cln-
tentment anu happiness MS well az
honlthand wealth. Ihoid Ito be the duty
la part OF every statefmau notOnly Of our
nation but Of all nations, 10 devise
ways anu means Of employment Tor ila
unemployed subjects, Of nj least sec or
be Interested IN knowing that this h
done. They thereby show themselves
fathers anu not MASTERS. We speak
with reverence Of tho "Father ui his
country" ami Of our revolutionary
fathers who fought, suffered anu maue
sacrifices TO onancipate themselves
and uh from oppression. A father pro-
vidce for his houarhOli. a loyal sub.
iect Of any nation Ia part u the
household Of the nation. flo never
attains majority. lie Is always subject
TO the call VI his country, anu shall not
bis country heed his cry for bread?
say yes, II he Is willing 10 work Tor IL.
