Capital aud Labor.
In dealing with both capital and
labor, with tho questions affecting
both corporations and trade unions,
there is one matter more important
to remember than aught else, and
that is the infinite harm done by
preachers of mere discomfort. These
are the men who seek to excite a VIC
lent class hatred against all men of
wealth. They seek to turn wise and
proper movements for the better
control of corporations and for doing
away wit hthe abuses connected with
wealth. into q campaign of hysteri-
cal excitement and falsehood in
which the aim is to inflame to mad
ness the brutal passions of mankind.
The sinister demagogues and foolish
Missionaries who are always eager to
undertake such a campaign of de-
struction sometimes seek to asso-
ciate themselves with those working
for a genuine reform in government

masquerade as such reformers. In
