Question !.

containing a series of questions oil
sroat importance, arising out of the
relations of capital and labor and
which you state it is a part OF the
duty of the Republican Party to con-
siGer for the purpose of offering ef-
fective solutions to these questions
Responding to your request, l mere
with submit for the consideration OF
Yourself and the political party you
represent, the following views on
the questions submitted.
Your first question reads as FOL
lows:
What measures should be adopt
od which while contenting labor
and capital, will be in the interests
of all the people? What should be
done or undone to make the lot OF
labor better and to enable the fruits
of labor to be used more effectively
for the welfare of the country?'
Answering this question, permit
me to call your attention first 10
the utter lack of an equilibrium OF
personal rights and opportunities
and relations between employers
and employees, which tends more
and more to divide our people into
classes and which is developing
bitter class feeling.
OF course, nature has endowed in
dividuais as it has nations with GER
tain physical, mental and spiritual
advantages, one over another. Or
gani8ed society cannot successfully
interfere with these processes OF
nature. Neither is it just or natural
that Governments should permit the
mentally, physically or spiritually
strong to dominate, control and ex-
ploit the weaker members of the hu-
man family.
The unfortunate development IN
our modern industrial society ana
government has been the creating
of new concentrated powers ana ad-
vantages, vested in a small group OF
Industrial and financial people,
while at the same time every effert
of government has been made TO
deny and deprive the much larger
group of society of the opportunity
for similar advantages of organiza-
tion and concentrated powers =.
When the State undertook to
create corporate bodies or organiza-
tions for industrial, financial and
commercial purposes and delegated
these corporate powers to groups or
persons solely interested in exereis-
ing these arbitrary grants for pri-
vate gain, without placing an Ell
fective restraint upon these cor
porate powers to safeguard and pro-
tect the rights of individuals who
are not associated with such cor
porate entities and who must deal
with them as individuals, 1t was
then that the seed was laid for the
development of classes and class
When the state authorized the
rich and those in possession OF re-
served capital to combine their
wealth into corporate undertakings
without at the same time fully safe
the rights and interests of
the individual workmen with whom
these corporate bodies must OF ne
cessity deal, then and there equal
to all of our citizens
were denied and by arbitrary die
Lum added strength, power and in
fluence was given to the strong TO
prey upon and exploit the weaker OF
he human family.
