Evils in Our Economic Life.
There are real and great evils In our So
cial and economic life. and these evils stand
out with ugly badness during good times
LOT the wicked who prosper are never a
pleasant sight There is every need of
striving in all possible ways Individuality
and collectively, by combinations among
ourselves in private life and through the
ASCoSiLIcu ORGANS OF government, for the
cutting out of these evils. Only let us be
sure that We do not use the knife with an
ignorant zeal which would make 1t more
dangerous to the patient than to the dis
ease.
'-One of the features of the tremendous
Industrial growth of the last generation
has been the very great increase in large
private. and especially in large corporate,
fortunes.
We may like this or not Just as We
please. but il IS fact, nevertheless and
far as We can see it is an inevitable re-
suit of the working of various causes

civilized countries, much faster than the

they must work far more largely by means
OF combinations among themselves than
when they live isolated from one another.
