Capital and Labor.
On the subject of capital and la .
the president takes the agitators of cla
hatred to task and says ''to preac.l
hatred to the rich man, as such,
to seek to mislead and inflame to mad
ness honest men whose lives are hard
and who have not the kind of mental
training which will permit them to ap-
preciate the danger in the doctrines
preached is to commit crime against
the body polite and to be false to every
worthy principle and tradition of Amer
subject he says:
mechanics farmers, merchants, work
erS with head or hand. the men to
whom American traditions are dear.
who love their country and try to act
decently by their neighbors, owe it to
themselves to remember that the most
damaging blow t&st can be given 1l.o-
ular government is to elect an un-
worthy and sinister agitator on a
platform of violence and Hypocrisy
this country nothing can be gained by
f9inching from it. foc ir such case dem
ocracy is itself on trial. popular self
government under republican forms is
itself on trial. TIL. triumph of the
mob is just as evil thing as the tri-
umph of the plutocracy. and to have
escaped one danger avails nothing
whatever If we sueuumb to the other.
In the end the honest man,whet ether rich

tries to deal justly by his fellows has
