Of old. Capital had everything
it's own way. Nowadays Labor
seems likely to usurp supreme
power. Neither can secure alb
solute power without danger to
the community. The evils result
ing from the unrestricted rule of
Capital are obvious. They have
been exploited in language that
appeals to all. None can resist
the pathos of 1.-THE Cry of the
Children" or ''The Song of the
Shirt" Labor has seemed so
powerless in the hands of Capt.
al, that the sympathy of all has
gone out to the helpless innocent
struggling in the grasp of the
grim and cruel giant.
Some day another Mrs. Brown
ing shall plead the cause of para
lyzed Capital. For the dangers
of Triumphant Labor are as fatal
as those of omnipotent Capital.
Even now, Trades Unions put a
premium on unskilled labor: take
hope from the earnest and dill
gent, and supply it to the shirk-
er and the slothful one. Even
now the spirit of individual in
'itiative, which has made the
Anglo-Saxon king of the univer-
Sc, is seriously threatened. Even
now the two free nations of the
world see the shadow of a tyran-
ny which, in some respects, sur
passes that of the benighted
countries they SO openly despise.
High wages are good if they
go to those who know how to
spend them-leisure is good for
those who know how to use it;
but money and idle hours are the
devils most deadly weapons.
The laws of Nature are inexor-
able and ruthless, but the world
moves by them and man cannot
go against them with impunity.
The weakest to the wall, the fit
test to survive; so runs the Sup
rene Decree, and who is man
that he shall disregard it
