LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The. condition that confronts the
country at the present moment-mil-
lions of laboring people Idle because
they cannot find employment, and nil
lions of capital lying idle for apparently
the same reason-is one that ought to
touch the patriotic ardor and stimulate
into the utmost activity the profoundest
thought of those entrusted with the
affairs of government. The condition
of the country is certainly traceable to
some cause and it is the part of wisdom
and honorable dealing 10 find out what
it is, and apply remedy. courageously
and feerlessly.
A serious complication of our eco
nomic affairs, and one that makes it
more imperative that something be done
without delay to relieve the situat ion, Is
the growing tendency to paternalism:
the laborer looks to the government to
afford him employment, and the capitalist
looks to it to provide him with safe and
profitable investment for his money.
1t is neither the duty nor the
province of government to do either,
except as an incident to ordi-
nary administration; but it is the duty,
as it is the highest prerogative, of gov
ernment to so perform its functions.
both of legislation and administration,
that the greatest good shall come to the
greatest number. To do this, laws must
be enacted that will stimulate industry
and commerce, which in turn will call
into active employment the capital of the
country. With these things accom-
plished the laborer will be content with
the fruits of his toll, and the capitalist
with the profits of MS investments and
urlderta Linrs
