LABOR AND CAPITAL.

The feeling is prevalent among the
masses OF the working classes that CAPT.
tai has received more than a fair share
OF wealth production, and the struggle
on their part 10 to secure larger share
in future divisions. Strikes are resorted
to with that object in view, and in the
last year or two they have been unpre.
osdented in number and magnitude.
As nature and human labor are the
only producers OF wealth, and there lie
so great disparity in it's possession, it
is not singular that the idea prevails
that there has sbssn something wrong in
the policy of the government and in
business methods. In this country, &C.
cording to the opinions OF the ablest
statisticans, labor contributes about rs
per cent towards wealth production.
AS moiety OF the property OF the
country is possessed by about per
cent OF the population. it is easy to I'M
derstand why the belief extensively
exists that in some way labor has been
wronged out of what it 10 justly entitled
to. In order to obtain its just share in
future, labor has organized to enforce its
demands for larger allowance.
Strikes are employed as a meana OF
enforcing these demands. As they have
been conducted they have defeated the
accomplishment of the deeired object.
They have alienated sympathy and
brought labor organizations into disrs-
pute. No one denies the right to cssse
work when terms are unsatisfactory :,
and to that extent strikes are lawful and
proper. On the other hand, there is no
defense for acts OF violence, for they are
injurious to the persons of others and in
the destruction OF property. The right
to work for wages satisfactory to the
person interested is clear, aud any in
reference with him by violence or in
timdation is a moral crime. Depriving
one of property by force is no worse
than preventing him by force from earn
ing property. Unless some new and
dstsnsible plan of settling differences ia
devised. the contest between labor an d
capital will be mere question OF en-
dursnce.
Compulsory arbitration il proposed
and it has advocates. To compel men
to make contracts is not cons istent with
the theory of our institutions. 1t is In
conflict with constitutional principles.

PERKINS ELEC TED.

The election OF George O, Perkins
United States senator, to fill out an I'M.
expired term. is a triumph OF honest
politics over boodleism and the political
machine.
Senatorial elections in California have
often brodght disgrace upon the wearer
oftheeenatorial togs. No scand attaches
to che election OF Senator White, and he
viii, have colleague without stain. 80
far IS concerns the methods employed
to gain his seat. For onos. at least. Dali.
fornia will be represented in the highest
legislative body in the world by men
who achieved their positions honorably,
and independent OF bossiam and the in
fuence Of special interests.
The election Of Senator Perkins is In
obedience to popular sentiment, which
10 too often disrsgarded and defsd. 1t
is beacon light of better politics, Whose
effulgsnt rays. it is hoped. will extend
into the limitless future. Methods in
this state and elsewhere have brought
disgrace upon popular Institutions and
cast doubt upon their utility and per-
manenoy. Boo dlsism. Burnsism and
all the cohorts Of machine politics have
been given backsst from which 1t Is
hoped they will never recover.
The action OF some OF the Republi =
cans in the legislature excites suspicion
that they were under mslign influence
The course OF Speaker Lynch is mex
plicable upon any reasonable hypothe-
sis. He was personally committed to
Perkins and was instructed for him by
his constituents, yet he disrsgardsd his
personal pledge and their expressed
wishes.
It is rumored he was Obliged to make
other pledges to gain the spsakership.
No office, however high, is worth sslf'
qualification. II he was obliged to ignore
his own choice and that of his constitu-
ents, it Is but another illustration OF the
vices OF machine politics. "You tickle
me. Billy. and will tickle you," is the
strength and support OF political ma
chimes. Nominations are so parcelled
out that every cog Fl It's into the place
provided for it. The people are shuttle
cocks and are driven forward and back
IS political bosses direct. 1t is painful
to think that a young man like Speaker
Lynch should Buooumb to his frailties
and sacrifice his political future in serv-
ing the machine. 1t is dangerous to
irihs with the peopls even In California.
Popular confidence once lost is almost
never regained.
The contest over the eenstorsbip was
within the Republican party, but the
whole people had an interest in the re-
suit. Honest men OF all parties want
the ablest and best servant they can get
in the highest legislative branch OF the
government. We congratulate the Re-
publicsns for that there were sincere
men enough in the Legislature to choose
a senator on the merits OF the man and
in obedience to the wishes OF the masses
Of the party. 1t will give them strength
In future, and is good reason for hoping
that Burnsism will not again ride roug,
shod over conventions and the will OF
the masses OF the party. Whatever differ
encs there may be upon policies and
measures. all honess men agree that il

and capable men in Office.

of slaves by making them work on un.
satisfactory terms. Voluntary arbitrs-
ton Is a just way to settle differences.
but compulsory arbitration is tyrannical.
Strikes occur only where there are con-
riderable numbers under one employ
ment. On the farms and in many other
places employees are fewand the matter
of wages is settled easily. Wages are
rated on the basis OF ability to earn.
Thers are no wage scales. The case is
different where large numbers are em-
ployed, as in manufacturing. mining
and railroading. Machinery has beco me
an essential part of productive force.
Every man has his place and
must perform his part so that
there cannot be competition. and
the strong are not paid greater wages,
for in reality they do not earn more.
Hence in these branches of industry
labor is classified and scale made for
each class. The gist OF the issue bs-
tween capital and labor is. what share
OF produced wealth shall they respec-
lively receive?
This question can be best settled be-
tween the parties to the employment il
both sides are governed by a spirit OF
fairness aud juatics. Capital invested
in industries is entitled to reasonable
remuneration. 1t is easy to dets rmine
what that shall be. Something should
be allowed for deterioration OF plants,
and as employees are paid whether the
business results in profit or loss, capital
should be awarded a fair premium for
taking the hazards OF loss, all OF which
can be estimated with approximate corr
rectness.
The princi pie may be illustrated by
taking the case of manufacturing, and
then applied as far as practicable to
other industries. The capital invested
is the first fact to be established, then
deterioration of plant, then the liability
to loss, followed by the coat Of raw ma
terisls and of fabrication, and lastly the
prices the products bear in the market.
The manufacturer and employer makes
all these calculations, and there is no
reason why labor organizations cannot
have msn who can gain knowledge OF
all these facts as we'll az employers, and
capable of figuring cut what would De

In this way there ought to be no diff

sonable.
As prices OF raw materials and OF man
ufaotures fuctuste, wage scales should
not be unbending. They should be
changed with the change of conditions.
Man ufsctursrs can not control market
prices, except through combinations.
which is 80 obnoxious to public senti-
mont and good morals that it is not
likely to be tolerated. 1t is best that
differences as to wages should be ad-
justed by the parties interested, and if
the proper spirit prevailed on all sides,
such differences would be settled with
out resort to measures that result in
disasters to capital and labor alike and
to the country generally.
