Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1908-07-17

! Mr.. Bells task as the temporary
chairman of the Denver convention
was comparatively easy. his duty was
IL strike the keynote of the campaign.
1t was hardly necessary TO do more
than to point out the conflict between
the President and Congress, as re-
suit of which most Of the Presiden-' 3
pet schemes failed in Congress OF his
own party, and the evasiveness sol
the Chicago's platform, which tried to
support both Congress and the Presi-
dent and resulted in being evasive at
every point where definiteness was
demanded.
AS Mr., Bell very well said, the duty
If the Democracy is to point out to the
country existing evils-of which the
country is sufficiently conseious-tae
failure of the Republicans in eleven
years of unqualified possession of pow
er to remedy them, and the fact that
many Of them are the direct : suits OF
Republican policies and legislation,
and finally TO define the remedies and
pledge the Democratic party to their
application.
The Trusts cannot be effectively
reached without redu cling the tariff
which protects them from foreign
competition. The currency difficulties
cannot be reformed by concentrating
power in the Federal Treasury or en-
larging the power of banks and mace
speciality of railway bonds. Such
regulation of corporations as is de
manded in the public interests can
never be hoped for from the Repubi-
can party, most of whose leading men
are involveS in the corporations which
require regulation. Least OF all car
commercial wrongs be cured by vest
ing plenary powers in a Commission
er of Corporations appointed by the
President and removable by him. Mr.
Bells speech was temperate, lucid
and convincing, The Democratic party
does not stand for hostility TO organ
.zed capital, but only for such regula-
ton of it as shall be needed to protect
competitors and consumers. The Dem
yer convention will not be Obliged 10
resort to evasions like those OF the
Chicago convention in order to obscure
the contrast between the party pro-
LESSONS and practices.

The Denver platform declares that
injunctions should hot be lssned in
any cases in which injunctions would
not issue if no industrial disputes were
involved. We can find fault with that
declaration? Should not all men be
equal before the law?

PARTNERS
IN BUSINESS.

Even II Edward H. Hartman were
far worse man than his enemies
say he is, he is a practical man, and
his recent utterances upon the part
nership of capital and labor is one Of
the strongest presentations of the
wise economy that should maintain at
this time.
Where is the man who can success
fully controvert this proposition?
Gust now we are hearing about
the wage problem. But do people
appreciate that, with given oppor'
tunity for the development of bust,
ness, the more we have TO pay for
capital the less there is to pay for
| wages? l am not referring to the
scale OF wages. but TO the amount we
can spend for wages. In order to gel
capital on reasonable terms, we have
got to have good credit, and credit
must be maintained by surplus earn
ings. There is the whole thing in a
nutshell"
Mr.. Hartman then points out that
the men who manage the railroads
are not the capitalists, but that the
security holders who advance the
money to railroad enterprises are the
capitalists and the partners of toe
wage-earners who operate the roads
The soundness of this suggestion
must be acknowledged by all:
1T is quite obvious that restriction
of business brings about uneconomi.
cal conditions throughout the indus
trial structure. When men are work
ing on part time. or under limitations
as to hours and conditions, there is
tremendous waste in earning ca
pacity and productive energy. The
whole fabric Of industry contracts
There is less money to be spent by
the workers, and consequently less
business to be done to supply the
wants they can afford
So it follows that business is good
or bad, according as consumption is
great or small In times of stress
consumption contracts, and that In
evitably makes for smaller dividends
and lower wages.
