fare aud prosperity "s labor n",!ar
Republican rule Suffice il 10 say.
that the condit ions of labor are to-
day, under Re, publican hard times,
much better than they were Il de
cade ago under Democratic hard
times. The comparison here is still
much in favol of the, Republicans.
The point we wished to elucidate Is
the action of the mining corpora
tiors in reducing the wages of their
employees on rising price of lead.
1t has heen truly observed that
capital is not philanthropic and
also thai corporations are soullesS.
Much If the lead produced under
the recent high standard of wages
has been sold at Il greatly reduced
price, which, if not augmented to
By other means, would mean low
ering of the ,!iyidends on the capi-
tai invested. Unfeeling capital,
therefore, acting through souiless
corporations, look first to the re-
sulting gains to capital, and con-
slider the interests of labor us only
incidental to the gainful operations
of capital. Dividends indicating
loss through the decline in the
price of lead must be made up by
reducing the share that capital al
lowed labor in their joint opera
tions. When the price of lead has
gone up again to n point where
capital finds its gain more or less
satisfactory it will consent TO in
crease the portion of labor in Il
diminutive ratio. So far the poll
tical principles of neither the Re-
publican or the Democratic parties
in their application to our govern
ment have been able to adjust the
interests Of capital and labor to
the satisfaction of both. TO GER
tain degree the principles Of the
Republican party have been more
effective than those Of any party
that has yet had control OF our
government. The problem is one
that labor-meaning the produc-
ing masses-must solve for itself.
Can capitalism be eliminated: can
the producing masses operate sue
cessfuily under self direction.

The Coming Citizen.

To describe an ideal modern
citizen now is at best to make q
guess and suggestion us to what
must be built in reality by the ef-
forts of thousand of minds.
But he will be very different
creature from that indifferent,
well -buhaved business man who
passes for IL good citizen to day.
He will be neither under the slave
tradition, nor Ii rebel, nor vehe-
ment elemental man. Essentially
he will be arislocratlc; arlstocratIc
not in the sense that be has slaves
or class interiors. because probab-
iy he will huye ne1hing OF the sort,
but aristOcratie ip the sense that
be will feel that the state belongs
to him and be to The state. He
will probably he putllc servant;
ut any rate he will be q man doing
some work ln the complicated MA
chinery of the modern community
for salary and not for specuia-
tive gain. Typically he will be a
professional man. do not think
the ideal modern citizen can be a
person living chiefly by buying
fer as little as be can give and sell.

deed, most Of what We idoIize to-
day as business enterprise, think
he will regard with very consider.

Some papers speak Of the pres

What do these "mOral spasms"
mean? They Indicate an awaken
ing of the law-abiding element of
society against abuses of moral and
social law; 2 disposition on part Of
a majority to correct evils inflicted
upon them by small minority of

The effects Of the financial panic
are still with rs and are liable to
be felt for some time to come, but
there are many indications that
the worst has been passed. Sus
pended industrial enterprises are
rapidly resuming their former &C
tivity and large numbers of men
are being put back to work. In
some instances there have been
wage reductions, but generally
wages still rule far above the bard
time wages of former panic Pc
RODS. The same holds good in the
prices of farm products. The
scare is the wearing off the banks,
which are loosening up the money
they have held in reserve. While
it was bad enough, things could
have been much worse.
