ITS PLEASANT

to be politician and get nominated for office and then be elected when the time arrives. But late years the candidate must go through a politi- cal campaign and allow the news papers and his opponents to tell the public all they know about him and lot which they don't know, but which they heard for gospel truth. Yes. and sometimes they will com pare you to a scoundrel, thief, back bitter, etc. For instance, New York paper says you know MT so and so, well you also know there are differ ent kinds of dogs-a pug, a setter, pointer, a bulldog, terrier, a beagle, a greyhound or any other useful dog is worthy of consideration. But mongrel, a Cur, a quitting, sneakins, treacherous, unreliable, not-worth- -his-feed animal isn't worth much of a discussion, therefore MT so and so must be 'cur" and he stops. Well, those gentlemen eff they are such) must have had great training in their younger days. We think they must have been given cheap, trashy tea and coffee to drink; they certainly do not partake of the kind we sell else it would be impossible for them to use such language.

Joint Interests.

Labor needs capital to secure the best
production, while capital needs labor in
producing anything. The share Of each
laborer in the joint product is affected
not exactly, but in general way, by
the amount Of capital in use as COM
pared with the number Of those who
labor The more capital in use the
more work there is to do, and the more
work there is to do the more laborers
are needed. The greater the need for
Iaborers the better their pay per man.
Manifestly, it is in the direct interest
Of the laborer that capital shall in
crease faster than the number of those
who work. Everything which Iegiti-
mately tends to. increase the accumu-
lation Of wealth and its use for pro-
duction will give each laborer a larger
share in the joint result of capital and
