This war now raging between capt.
tai and labor is an 'irrepressible con-
fict." Here is the philosophy Of the
question: Labor works for wages;
capital works for per cent. In the
production of wealth the world recog-
nizes the law of justice that the
'laborer is worthy of his hire" that
his wages on one end Of the scales
must balance the product on the other
end.
But when we enter the domain OF

percent. Labor in the prod uction of
all wealth, bowst to God and his law;
but capital in carrying on commerc
bows to the dollar, and recognizes no
law but the law of per cent.
Don't you see at a glance, reader,
that these two methods Of doing bust

other? The law that labor recognizes
is the law of the great Father above;
the law that capital works by is Nam.

We are now witnessing in this clos

what the prophet saw ages ago The
people are moving everywhere in the
civilized world, to take the govern

equally true that no man can vote for
