capital and labor, to make the working
man feel that the prosperity OF the
capitalist Is an injury to himself and to
make the capitalist feel that the working
man Is simply u beast Of burden. This Is
wrong The prosperity OF one means the
prosperity of both. They should work
together Capitalists are necessary, for
without them great enterprises are i'm
possible, and labor is the creator OF all
wealth. and the men who toll are the
true soyereigns where labor is honored
and merit distinguished.
In our ei. les too many merchants ard
bankers do not take enough interest In
their employees to visit them and note the
manner in which, on their meager wages.
they care for father and mother and others

! believe in as short hours and as good
pay as possible for all who toll. And 1t
is right, just and proper that the woman
who is compelled 10 labor for a living
should receive the same pay for the
same work, performed as Well and wit hin
the time, as the man who works in shop
or factory by her side. Indeed, would
also let her vote H she desired. She Ger

There s!iauld be no quarrel bet ween Cap
nal and labor One cannot do without
the other, Both are needed in developing
the latent resources OF our Republic; both
are needed 70 make our nation rich, pros
porous and happy.
In this land We want no classes of 30
cicty. No high, no low, no rich, no poor.
Society must not he formed in layers like
the earth's crust. as it is in other lands
Here society must be rather like the ocean,
so bread, SO long, so deep, that every grain
OF sand that mirgies with the waters at
the bottom may rise through all the cur
rents until it CLEANS like a jewel on the
crest of the highest wave. So here, the

greatness, through all grades of society,
from the humble cabin home of Poverty,
until he becomes the chief citizen of
mighty nation, the ruler OF the grandest Re-
public In history. like Lincoln, Grant, Gar

Another danger is Anarchy 1t is the
worst Zoe of the poor laboring man in this
country. 1t browns out his honest cry for
reform with yociferations for anger and
blood II the vagabonds who are running
up and down the country trying 70 sow

strife were hustled up in some place Of
security the oppressed and down-trodden
lahofer would have more work and more
bread for his household Anarchy will not
make women and childrea less hungry nor
will it make men hapDier
Another danger is slavery from political
demagogy and impurity In pol.ties-to
that condition whereby few men may
control our large cities aud thus control
the States by methods OF corruption. and
thus leave the masses of the people as
| helpless as slaves
Anothe, danger is In opening the gates

Is that every worthyan deserving man or

shall come here and find happy home,

its flag, come veal or woe.
But we do not interJ that this land shall

intend to admit so many Trojan horses
