The Social Problem. No 2.

The conflict between labor and
capital has caused much anxiety
among philanthropists ever since the
desire for gain has entered the world.
The general tendency TO make the
rich richer and the poor poorer has
not only existed but has increased
Human nature is so constituted
that even if the most avoracious ap-
petite has been satiatod, there fol

isiied. Indeed it has been truly
said that to satisfy man. seek not
to increase his stores, but to de-.
crease his desires. The moro wealth
u man can accumulate, the more ne
wants TO accumulate. If he has Il
million dollars, his heart is ycarning
for million more. If he secures
this, he will be looking for twice
that amount. Thus, his desires will
increase and should he be sufficient
ly fortunate to amass enough wealth
to purchase n county or Il state, you
can rest assured, he would want the
United States.
The men who hold the capital are
constantly thinking of increasing it
and do not for one moment think of
the poor labOrcr employed as a
means of production. When would
the capitalist have time TO think of
the worlds poverty, since the sole
purpose of his heart is TO enrich him
self with this worlds goods? We
fear his desire for control over
wealth would become so strong that
honest means would be too slow an
affair for him; all virtue would be
cast aside and somc spcedier meth

when he was a small boy. His mind
was constantly centred on play
disposition not unfrcquently found
in youths. His mother found great
difficulty in keeping him at work.
One morning, as usual for that day
of the week, she directed Johnny to
churning butter, while she attended,
TO other household duties. As 4
faithful boy, he went to his task. He
churned for long time aud still had
no butter. He began contriving how
he might finish his churning quickly
He soon concocted scheme. He

What does a man want with his

Let us see whether he can. r. we

Or let us allow him $1,000 per annum
and he will use but $3.50, 600 in life

This amount you will observe is
but of a single million. Leaving
out of consideration the productive
value of this capital, what does Il
human being want with his hun
dreds of millions, since at most he
can spend only $3.50, 600 for his own

must consider its productive value.
