TWO SIDES TO A DISPUTE.

A recognition that there are at least
two sides to every dispute in which mere
ly money and no vital question OF prin-
ciple is involved. and that both sides may
have merits. and a willingness to make
reasonable concessions, will avoid the err
ror OF quarrelling over the fruits OF In
dustry.
There are many signs that all the va
rious Industrial groups and interests OF
the American people are now giving this
recognition more freely than at some pc
riods, and that we shall not as people
spoil our prosperity this year by fighting
over IL. but rather agree with one ac-
cord TO reap and gather in its golden
harvest.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
