You VIII observe the field of these rt

Of Wealth ana nature.

SPECTATOR, The operator and even a5sIe
gated wealth all have labor for tneIl
foundation.
1hls great commonwealth today is not
what II was twenty years ago, the people
OF twenty years ago did not have to think
as they u today. Social and business
conditions have materially changed, and
we must OF necessity deal in the future.
II prudent and successful business
man does not conhne his actions to the
simple existence OF the day.
There Is competitive labor dangerous to
society and dangerous to property and
lie, which is encouraged by wealth and
cannot be controlled by any other means
than the ballot and legislation. We have
the opportunity and We have the power,
and shall we neglect it?
ms Is not d question Of corporations.
but d question OF souls, and oppression
OF the laborer has "a tendency to create
and makes savages.

The general condition OF our State To-

and soul. such a condition Of affairs
aIoneis serious reflection for the candid
and honest world.
There is nothing but death that is more
real than labor; there is nothing more
useful than labor, and there is nothing
more honest than labor. The energy, the
talent Is labor that builus up a great
nation, and the men of the world to-day
are nen who have fought the tight Of
labor and are Door. while the am energy
and the same talent might have EliII up

Indulge me for a few minutes in AN
illustration, and let us visit a once pros
porous mining camp. We are awe
stricken III the deserted appearance OF
the once live streets and bvwavS, and
stand GREATNESS in our gaze at the ahan-
doned business buildings and the homes

around We are attracted to a number Of
white spots on y0nder hillside: AS We
approach we are soon sensible OF the sol

Now, in conclusion. fellow members Of

of God and 4 Christianizing agency, let
the nineteenth session of the Nevada
Legislature go down in history as having
