The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1895-01-16


Both should BIO given equal legislative op.
portunity. A dollar Is conscientious
thing. OF itself 1t earns no interest and
declares no dividends, and is incapable of
much good or harm. Its aggregated power,
with intellectual force behind it, Is meal
culable for good or for evil.
1.-THE state that permits large aggrega-
lions of capital to BIO employed should sur
round the artificial person thus created
with the same restrictions, privileges and
protection which 1t gives the individual
citizen. The laws affecting such should
be just and equitable. Neither should be
a target for the demagogue or the tool of
the avaricious. Every man has the right
to sell his labor at his own price, and is
entitled to protection in Its performance.
Labor has the right to organize for mutual
protection and advantage, the same as cap
ital; but neither labor nor capital has the
right to combine to prevent men from
working at any price they please, no moro
than capital has the right to control or
pervert the NATURAL channels of industry
so as to depress the price of labor or raise
the cost Of living.
"Fhe apparent legal obstacles confront
ing what is generally termed compulsory
arbitration, and the disinclina.on to vol
Nntary arbitration have rendered both
comparatively ineffective in this country.
Some sure legal method Of ascertaining
the facts and laying them bare to the pub.
lie before disputes result In violation of
law, destruction of property, or injury to
public rights, whether denominated con
ciliation or arbitration, would bring the
merits of both sides of the contest before
the public for its judgment, where the
right is sure to prevail"
In discussing the question of education
the governor said: ~ hope the time Is not
distant when our great state from the
abundance of her wealth will provide
through her school system the opportunity
to every boy and girl within her borders
to obtain thorough preparation for any
calling or profession, as free from cost in
the higher branches as the rudiments of
an education may now be obtained in our
township schools"
The governor urged state aid in the i'm
proyements of roads, the examination of
the affairs Of building and loan sssocia-
tions by state officers, and said of the farm
ing interests:
1.-The farming industry in Pennsylvania
is by far the largest single interest, and in
every adjustment of legislation should re-
ceive the first consideration. If all prev
ious legislative provisions affecting agrf-
culture, together with those relating to
the inspection Of food and dairy products,
the prevention and determination of dis
eases of farm animals, the sale of fertil-
izers, the highly important subject of tho
the preservation of our forests, and tho
matter of good public roads, were to be as
sembled In one department II woul9-HHr+.~
only elevate and 2Gnsttt the agricultural
Interests of the state, and assist the valua-
BILE efforts of the state board Of agrioul-
ture, but also place the entire interest upon
broader and more comprehensive and ef-
fective basis, and ut probably little more
expense to .e state than the present es-
tablishment."

benediction. . ..
