One great danger today is the tendency
among some to widen the chasIn between
capital and labor. to make the working
man feel that the prosperity OF the
capitalist is an injury TO himself and TO
make the capt list feel that the working
man is simply a 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 an
wealth, and the men who toll are the
true sovereigns where labor is honored
and merit disting guished.

Another danger is Anarchy 1t is the
worst foe Of the poor laboring man in this

Another danger is slavery from political

that condition, whereby a few men may
control our large cities and thus control
the states by methods of corruption, and
thus leave the masses OF the people as
helpless as slaves.

But we do not intend that this land shall
become the duniping-ground for the Off

intend 10 admit so many Trojan horses
filled with foreign enemies within the gates
OF our cities.
