has he the sole right to decide how
he shall use the same. / have a
primary right in my own capital
and secondary right in the capital
of every other man. Capital is not
susceptible of single posse ssion.
Dual possession always exists,
namely: individual possession and
public. Individual possession
carries with it the right to control
and use. The public interest in
my property carries with it the
right of regulation of its use.
The individuals right is the greater,
that of the public the superior.
The individual has the right of
control and use. The public being
a joint possessor has the right of
regulation of its control and use.
The individual exercises his ri ght
by his own will and action; the
public must exercise it's right of
control and regulation through the
fundamentally of the law. Law
is, or at least ought to be, the
official expression of the public
will; if it is not it is not law, but
simply tyrannous regulation. Here
is another great truth tersely stated.
There are so many great thruths
set forth in these articles that ]
think it necessary to call attention
to them as 60 along lest they be
overlooked.

The daily papers state that John
Dalzell, General Grosyenor and
some other congressman are going
to make an effort this winter to
raise the Presidents salary to
800, 200, the Vice-President's to
$40, 900 and the senators and mem
bers of congress to $4,000. That
may be all right but we would
rather be congressman at s., ooC
a year and mileage than to be a
mail carrier at 500 a month and
furnish our own team, and we have
been both.

1t seems strange to US that there
is a number of newspapers and
quite a lot of people who seem
inclined to the belief that the
republican members of the legisla-

har kiri by violating the unani-
nous action of the state convention
in the matter of the United States
Senatorship.

single reading. 1t is a little be-
yond my comprehension, and |
wrote it.
A capitalist is man who pos
seses capital. 1t does not matter
what the character or amount of
the capital possessed. All men are
capitalists. Some possess much
capital and some but little. There
Is no man, it matters not what may
be his mental, physical or financial
condition, who either possesses or
can create something.
The power of capital consists in
it's utilization. Idle capital of any
kind is of no more value to the
world than a dogfsh in fashion
able restaurant. A dollar kept in
the pocket only wears a hole in the
trousers. 1t is of no use until 1t
is spent. In this instance l re-
ligiously practice what | preach.
A man may possess the power to
build an engine but if he doesn't
build one he is not benefited by it's
possession.
Scores of writer's possessed
ability enough to write "Uncle
Toms Cabin" only one exercised
the ability.
Every capitalist has rights and
one of these is the right of "combi'
nation" with his fellow capitalists.
Such combinations are not only
proper but absolutely essential to
advancement. To rail and rant
against combinations of capital is
not only demagoguery but criminal
obstruction to progress.
A man might possess the creative
capital necessary to create a house
but unless he combined it with that
of his fellow man his house would
never be built and his children
would grow up, become grey
headed and die wi in no roof over
them but the sky.
A one hundred dollar bill will
not accomplish much. Ten thou
sand one hundred dollar bills
combined will erect factory and
produce employment, comfort and
prosperity for thousands.
There is nothing We possess
worth having that has not been
produced by a coordination" of
either creative or non-creative
capital brought about by the pos
SCISSORS of the same.
Three objects are secured by
such combinations:
Accomplishment,
Protection,
Profit.
The mere statement that two
men working together one day can
accomplish more than one man
working two days and that the two
men can do things that one man
alone never could, and that two
dollars will buy more than twice as
much as one dollar is sufficient to
establish the fact that the power OF
capital of both classes is materially
increased by combination.
That the interests of a hundred
capitalists can be better protected
by mutual action than by each one
looking out for himself is so ap-
parent that if one cannot compre-
bend it he could not be shown it's
truth by any explanation Of mine.
That it is more profitable for a
capitalist to utilize all his capital
in accomplishment than to expend
portion of the same in competi-
ton with his fellow capitalist who
is striving to accomplish the same
thing is equally as plain as are
both the foregoing propositions.
No capitalist possesses exclusive
ownership of his own capital nor
