speech today was regarded as his valedic-
tory to public life. and was listened to wiki
close attention by his colleagues.
In conclusion, Mr.. Grow said:
a labor strike is an unequal contest at best.
II is a contest Of endurance between hunger and
capital Capital In such contests loses none of
its accumulation OF wealth. unless an Industry
Itself should be destroyed: and in such cases
labor would be the Grrates: sufferer. The inc.re
would he all. The existence OF labor itself IL
dependent upon constant employment, and its
condition cannot be imurov.d by idleness or by
!awle-s violence or a disregard OF the rights OF
capitalists ana latorers. like that Of all cI;i-
Zens. is 70 promote the general welfare, at
least TO 90 nothing 20 its injury.
Some method OF profit sharing between employ
ers and employees that would secure a harnoni-
Gus cooperation OF both: SO as 70 prevent strikes
and improve the condition OF labor. is Of vital
Importance to the general welfare. FOR the pillars
of the Republic rest upon the comfort OF the
home and the happiness Of the flreside Cf labor.

But for the Monroe Doctrine. England and
Germany could grab enough Venezuelan
territory 10 satisfy their claims and the
claims of their subjects against Eenezuela.
Venezuela is 4 poor payer. The Repuphc
owes both British and German subjects.
and the Governments Of both Of the Euro
pean nations have turned bill collectors.
1t is claimed that the debts have been
put or from time to time. and that Presi-
dent Castro has evinced no intention to
pay. Hence the presence OF warships at
La Guayra and the demonstration. The best
England and Germany can do Is TO seize
the custom-h houses and collect duties until
the bills are paid.
They might land forces and collect do
mestc taxes. II Castro resisted. then there
would be war. II Castro regards the block

may be formal declaration and hight.

Tho moment this 10 sought to be done
there will be a clash with the United States
