Capital and Labor Must Pull Together
for Another -Four Years.
During the last few weeks of the
Presidential campaign Democracy's
most ardent and persistent calamity
howlers have declared war against cap
ital on general principles. They 60 so
far as to assert that we would be bet
ter off were there no such thing as capt.
tal-that it's a curse to civilization.
They argue that the only solution Of
the labor problem is for the government
to confiscate all the corporations, lock,
stock and barrel, take charge Of all the
land, Improvements. etc., and put us all
TO work on an equal footing just as we
were at the beginning Of time.
The story of Adam and Eve should
suffice to prove that the people Of the
world have neve been contented with
their allotted share of the earth's fruits.
Just remember what a row was
raised over that one apple that Adam
and Eve took, and now, under Republi-
can prosperity, the farmers feed apples
to their hogs. The country needs CAPT.
tai in its business; it needs banks.
Without capital labor would never have
10 pay day. and who would be fool
