Veteran Publicist Concludes His Long Career in Con
gress bu the Delivery of an Address in Which He
Defines His Views Upon the Proper Relations Between
Capital and Labor.
Following Is the uddtess of ex-Speak-er
Galushu. A. (limv, the father of the
Amui'lcitn Congress, defining his care
Cully matured convictions lib to the re
lations which should exist between enp
ital nntl lubor. It Is the last address
which he will make In the Congress
which he has so long and so honorably
adorned:
Of all the baneful Influences which
lead to national decay, the most per
nicious Is a policy that degrades or Im
poverishes labor. The real strength of
a nation eonsfsts not alone in fleets unci
armies, but in the manly spirit of an in
dependent yeomanry, and In the Intel
ligence, comfort and happiness of ltri
laboring people.
Of all Industrial questions, tho one
that most directly affects the general
welfare Is the relation of American la
bor to capital. In the prosecution of
business of any magnitude three things
are necessary capital, supervision and
labor. For success, wise supervision Is
unite as important as either. "Without
capital and wise snpprVMnn it would be
Impossible for labor alone to accom
plish any great lesull. Yot labor,
whether of brain or muscle, is entitled
to receive out of the accumulations of
wealth in proportion to what It con
tributes toward the accumulation.
"While this theory Is just, tho difllcully
In reducing it to practice is to devise
a satisfactory method by which it could
he done.
Copartnerships in nil cases are baaed
on the principle that whoever shares in
net profits must in the same proportion
be responsible for losses. But profit or
loss in a business cannot be ascertained
until after the expiration of a period
in the business. Yet labor must be paid
In current expenses whether there is
any net profit or not. Statistics show
that a large percentage of alt kinds of
business ends in bankruptcy, thus sink
ing the amount of capital invested. In
such cases it is clear that labor re
i elves all that it could possibly be en
titled to under any theory of profit
sharing. As wages are paid in current
expenses, and capital takes all risks of
losses, some method ought to bo pro
vided for the repayment of the capital
invested. Rten in successful business
there would be no additional accumu
lation of cnpltnl until the money al
ready invested should bo repaid. ''
Copartnerships between the owner of
the capital in any business and its la
borers would not be practicable, for the
risk of losses and investment of money
would all bp on one side, without In
vestment or responsibility on the other.
Incorporations or associations of labor
( culd not change these conditions. In
corporating individuals or associations
without capital would be a mere fiction
of law, like John Doe and Richard Roe
in legal proceedings. Business cannot
be prosecuted successfully on mere
legal fictions. Therefore corporations
or associations for business must be
based on actual capital.
To woik is a right of every self-supporting,
law-abiding person under any
form of government, and the highest
duty of free government is to protect
Individuals in this right. To invest
nipnry or not to Invest is the right of
t)ie owner of capital. But whenever it
is1 invested in business or any lawful
pursuit it Is entitled to tho protection of
law the same ns labor Is entitled to
protection for its rights,
Law cannot create or compel tho In
vestment 01 capital any more tlnin It
cjrn compel labor to work, outside of
jjhal and chaiity institutions. But un
iyJse legislation can prevent the lnvest
'nient of capital and may destroy it.
Unreasonable demands by labor upon
capital, if persisted in, can do tho same
thing.
Arbitration No Real Remedy.
Voluntary arbitration of disagree
ments between employer and employe,
well enough in Itself, only settles, how
ever, the existing dispute, which may
occur again in the same or a different
lorni, as often as tho old disagreement
may have been fettled,
Compulsory arbitration between em
ployer and employe would bo a usur
pation of the inherent rights of both
by the lawmaking giower. And could
It lawfully be done, the tendency
would be, on ono side, to prevent the In
vOstnient of capital, and on tho other
to a llnal establishment by law of a
hystem of peonage of all labor. Law
can no more compel capital to pay to
labor a specified rate of wages than It
tan compel labor to work tit a fixed
rate of waged,
, Hut If tho proportion that ought to
ho paid to labor out of net froths In a
Wusluess could bo ascertained with
mathematical exactness, It would not
l)i a determination of tho real relation
of American labor to capital. Tho great
question In this country, In addition to
that of profit sharing, 1h to determine
how high he wages of labor can go
without destroying labor Itself.
The higher the wages of labor and re
tain the market for Its products, the
better It Is for everybody. To that
point In all cases the employer can go.
But beyond thnt point It is an Impos
sibility. For labor cannot bo paid in
the production of nn article more than
the article Itself will sell for In tho
market. Tho market price for nn ar
ticle and the wages oj labor in Its pro
duction are not fixed by this country
alone. In respect to both market price
and wages, this country Is In competi
tion with tho markets and the labor of
the world. A wise adjustment of tariff
duties on tho Importation!) of the pro
ducts of foreign labor can, to a certain
extent, prevent tho reduction of prices
In this country to a point ruinous to la
bor. But the wages of labor can reach
m high as to be beyond the power of
tariff duties to overcome the competi
tion of the poor!' paid labor of the
world. Freo trude with the nations
would glvo to labor everywhere t .c
lowest wages paid anywhere.
In tho countries of Europe there nru
! to-day twenty millions or more of la
borers and artisans producing articles
lor human consumption. And their
dally wages are greatly less than those
paid to labor in this country in like
employments. It would cost any one
of these laborers or artisans to remove
from his homo in the Old "World to ono
in the New not to exceed .$50 or $G0. For
very such person who should come
there, would be room for one less Amer
ican laborer, provided there is Ameri
can labor enough to supply the demand
for labor.
The great atti action heretofore for
emigration to tills country has been
that it is the land of liberty, home of
the oppressed, and an asylum for the
txllo. In addition, make It by undue
stimulation the most attractive country
for high wages and short hours for
! work, and how lone would It be before
! our home labor market would be over
stocked from these beehives of Indus
try, beyond the power of legislation or
the capacity of consumption to save
American labor, from the low wages of
tho Old "World? To determine the point
to which the increase or wages in this
country can go and not produce such a
result is the real solution of the prob
lem of American wages.
Entitled to Fair Compensation.
The employe is entitled in all cases
to a lair compensation for the time he
uses his brain or muscle, or both, for
the benefit of another. The time 'thus
consumed and paid for belongs to the
employer, and he has the right to di
rect the mode and manner of Its use.
The time not paid for belongs to tho
employe, to do with it within legal
limits as he leases. And the employer
has no more right to say how it shall
be spent than has the employe to say
to the employer whom he shall hire or
how he shall conduct his business. The
right of the employer to control the
time or the acts of the employe ends
where payment ends. These are the
relative lights of empoyer and em
ploye, and they cannot be violated by
either without Injury to both. Either
has the right to organize for the pur
pose of improving their condition or
prospect in life. But no voluntary or
ganization or association has any
greater power or rights than the Indi
viduals composing it. Any attempt to
exercise any greater power or rights
than those possessed by the individual
becomes an organized attnek upon so
ciety itself, which, in self-defense, if
there was no other reason, orderly gov
ernment must repel and prevent if
they would preserve their own exist
ence. labor, whether of brain or muscle,
has two indefensible rights, both en
titled to full, absolute protection
under any form of government. One
is to contract for employment on
such terms ns may be satisfactory;
the other, to refuse all employment
provided no application is made on
the community for personal support.
Every person self-supporting and
law-abiding has a right to work or
not to work. This is an individual
right, which the laws of a free gov
ernment are bound to protect. But
no person, hns a right to prevent an
other person who desires to work
from doing so. Every person hns the
right to work without molestation,
hindrance or intimidation of any
kind. The rights of one man end
where the rights of another begin.
In free government there Is no right
in any cltisen to combine for tho Injury
of tho general welfare, whether capital
ist or day laborer. In this respect, law
applies alike to both. The primary ob
ject In tho establishment and malnten
anco of free government Is tho general
welfare, and In its administration that
is paramount to nil elhe. While all
have the right to work or not, no one
hns tho right to prevent, or attempt
to prevent, by word, 'act or deed, the
prosecution by others of any lawful
pursuit or the development of any
industry useful and beneficial to
mnnkiud. Nor hns any one a right,
by word or deed, to nid or abet in
any way persons engaged in ob
structing or in hindering the prose
cution or development of enterprises
and industries calculated to promote
the general welfnre.
Boycotting, ns It Is called, hi any
business rests on tho assumption that
nobody lias any rights except the boy
cotter, and that he la privileged to fix
the terms on which labor may earn Its
dully bread by its dally toll, and the
conditions on which all business In a
community must be conducted. The
fundamental principle upon which
which free governments rest, and
without which they cannot exist, is
the protection of the inalienable
right of every person to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
The inalienable right of life and
liberty is of little consequence with
out the inalienable right of the pur
suit of happiness. The pursuit of
happiness includes' the right in the
individual to pursue any legal em
ployment in a lawful way, without
hindrance, molestation or Intimida
tion in any form, laws in just gov
ernments are made for the protec
tion of these fundamental rights, and
whoever violates them or attempts
to is subverting the spirit and gen
ius of free institutions, Whoever
prevents or attempts to prevent the
development of nn industry bene
ficial to mankind, or prevents or at
tempts to prevent the prosecution of
such industry by others, becomes a
conspirator against the general wel
fare, Just the same aa a combination
of capitalists might become injurious
mm
to the general welfnre in their com
binations. No War Between Capital and Labor.
A disagreement between the employer
and tho employe as to the wages of la
bor Is no more a war between capital
and labor than Is u disagreement be
tween tho merchant and his customer
as to the price of articles offered for
sale a war between the producer and
the consumer.
There can be no war, or even con
flict, between cnpital and labor when
their real interests are rightly un
derstood nnd fully appreciated. They
are mutually dependent on each oth
er, and neither can accomplish any
great results without the other. Of
what use Is labor beyond the supply
ing of mere physical wants by the
cultivation of the soil, without capi
tal to furnish transportation to mar
ket for the products of labor, as well
as for the development of all indus
triesP And of what use would cap
ital be without laborP In the world's
commerce the locomotive is of no use
without cars filled with the products
of labor, and such cars would be of
no use without capital to build the j
railroad and buy the locomotive.
In" the old system of mining in Mex
ico the peon dug the ore deep down in
the earth, filled a sack of rawhide with
the material, nnd threw the sack over
his shoulder with a leather strap across
his forehead to hold the sack while he
used his hands in climbing a single up
right pole, with notches cut into it like
stairs for his feet. On reaching tho top
he emptied the sack of ore Into larger
ones suspended on pithpr side of a
donkey. And the donkey transported
them along a. zigzag patli down the
mountain side to a smelting furnace
erected on the bank of the nearest
stream of water. Capital drives a tun
nel through the mountain, lays an iron
or steel track, and puts upon It a lo
comotive and cars, into which tho peon
loads the ore as he digs it, and in as
many minutes as it took hours before
the ore is transformed from a drudge,
doing tho work of a beast of burden,
into a man, with wages sufficient to (
make Dome comlortnble. instead or
the hovel of the peon, side by side with
the stable of the donkey, there spring
up comfortable dwellings, homes of
happy childhood. So in all the pursuits
of life, in order to accomplish the best
results for the Individual happiness of
all, capital and labor must go hand in
hand, mutually dependent on each
other.
All manual laborers cannot be
equally successful any more than
can all professional or business men.
There is no possible way by which
incapacity or improvidence can be
made equally successful with capac
ity, prudence and economy in the
struggles of life. If this inborn in
equality of capacity in individunls
be nn evil, it must be charged as a
fault in the wisdom of creation.
' "Whoever Is contented with sufficient
menus for making himself nnd those
dependent upon him comfortable has
attained all there is of real happiness
In the accumulation of wealth, and has
therefore no reason to cpmplain of his
lot. Ail cannot bo poets, painters or
sculptors, nny more than fill can be
i lawyers, doctors or merchants, or
tradesmen of any kind. Yot In this
country every business pursuit or call
ing Is within the reacli of nil. The
highways to honorable distinction
lend from the lowly cot of honest in
dustry the same as from the gilded
palnces of wealth or the halls of
learning, and they are nil open alike
to the humblest child of the sons of
toil, from whom have sprung most
of the historic characters of our coun
try, and in which the passing gen
eration nas not been deficient.
Rise from the Ranks of Toll.
The great soldier who sleeps on the
banks of the Hudson, and who will
through nil time hold a foremost rank
with the great captains who have led
mighty armies over victorious battle
fields, began life us a day laborer In a
tnnyard. Our first martyr president
was burn In abject poverty, and to his
mature manhood earned his dally
bread by his dally loll. Yet of all tho
i world's civic rulers In poaco and war,
' ho will forever hold no Inferior niche
in the pantheon of human greatness,
Ills two martyred successors, each
without wealth or family Influences,
nehloved honorablo distinction In all the
pathways of life, and won the highest
honors in the gift of a. froo tieonln. In
1 all tho great enterprises of this genera-
tlon, ns well as of preceding ones, the
Individuals who have achieved the
greatest success In the world's estima
tion have, hi most cases, begun actlvo
life with tho smullest ot pecuniary
means,
The grievances of labor In free elec
tlvo governments llko ours are to be
removed In the same way as other
grievances are removed by an appeal
to tho Intelligent judgment of public
opinion. In free elective govern
ments, with free speech, free press
nnd unlvorsnl ballot, there can be'uo
excuse for a resort to lawless vio
lence for the correction of any griev
ance. In such governments, obed
ience to the commands of law and
to the mandates of duly organized
courts is paramount to all else. No
matter what the grievance com
plained of may be, a resort to law
less violence is nn attack on the
tights of every law abiding citizen
and upon organized society itself,
and if successful it would be the first
step in the road that lends to anar
chy nnd national ruin. An enlight
ened publics opinion in a free govern
ment will in the end correct all real
grievances, It peaceablo means only
are employed. It may reunite time and J
il-i- V sir " ' ;:
patience. But that Is the case with all
attempts to remove long standing
abuses or to establish Improved condi
tions. No causo, great or small, was ever
benefited by the violation of funda
mental principles of right. God
rules tho universe by Immutable
laws of justice, and It is in vain for
man to attempt to nullify them. One
person's rights end where another's
begins, is a fundamental principle of
all just laws, and is the basis of civ
ilized society, liberty is the right
of every person to engage in any
lawful pursuit for a livelihood, nnd
to continue therein without hind
rance or molestation by any other
person. And it is despotism in its
worst form that deprives him of this
right, a crime against humanity
scarcely less than the taking of life
itself. Shylock said to the judge, whose
sentence of confiscation spared to him
only his house and his life:
"You take my house when you do take
the prop
That doth sustain my house; you take
my life,
"When you do take the means whereby
I live."
The discontents and complaints of in
dividuals in this country as to their
lot In life spring in most cases from a
mistaken notion as to life's most desir
able aipis and ends. No matter what
the condition may be, there is more or
less uneasy longing for something dif
ferent. And when that something is
reached or obtained the longing is not
satisfied, and there is still something
a little ahead, almost within reach.
Like the child who hastens toward the
place where the rainbow seems to touch
the earth, no matter how near he ap
proaches the apparent spot, the dis
tance still remains the same.
Most of a man's discontents in life,
whatever may be his pursuit, are either
from impatience or from a longing for
something which, if attained, would
add little or nothing to his real happi
ness. "Wo scorn to wait fo& the thing worth
having.
We want high noon at the day's dim
dawn,
Wo find no pleasure in toiling and sav
ing, As our forefathers did in the good
times gone."
The Essentials of Happiness.
Tho man of imense wealth Is no hap
pier than the man with moderate
means, provided each is comfortable
and equally contented with his lot.
Comfort and contentment are the two
essentials for happiness In this world's
pilgrimage, and whoever possesses them
has no occasion to envy any other con
dition in life. Riches are not necessary
to man's enjoyment, but the means to
prevent starvation are. Nor is a splen
did palace essential to his real happi
ness, but a shelter against the storm
and the winter's blast is. These Indis
pensable requisites to man's comfort
can be secured only by labor. Divine
wisdom, In the economy of creation,
made labor a necessity for human ex
istence, and also made health and
happiness dependent upon it. Labor
therefore Is not an evil to be shunned,
hut Is the means for the attainment of
tho most desirable ends nnd alms in
life. "In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread," was not a malediction
against the race, but was a statement
of the condition on which man could
still be happy In his fullen stale. All
labor useful to man Is equally honor
able, and Is entitled to public consid
eration, nnd in all cases is entitled to
something more than mere living
wages.
If the foregoing views as to the
rights of labor and the relation of
American labor to capital are correct,
then It Is Important thax some feasible
plan mutually satisfactory to employ
er and employe should bo adopted for
profit sharing by labor. It is obvious
that as a business proposition It would
be wholly Impracticable to make the
laborers employed in any business
stockholders of the association or cor
poration. But It could be a part of the
contract of employment that all per
sons employed by tho association or
corporation should bo paid out of net
profits, at stipulated periods, on tho
amount of wages or salary received for
such period, the same percentage as
would bo paid for such period to any
stockholder on a like amount of stock.
Such a plan, or something like It, would
lemove the complaint made that labor
does not rccelvo a fair share In the ac
cumulations ofVealth. Labor contrib
utes no part of the money capital In
vested and takes no risk of losses, yet
It would be paid out of net profits the
same percentage on every dollar of
wages received ns would be paid to any
stockholder on a dollar In stock. Some
such plan would seem to give to labor
Its full proportion of tho net profits of
the business in which it might have
been employed.
Such a method, or any other mutu
ally satisfactory to employer and em
ploye, that would avoid labor strikes,
would save for general distribution a
vast amount now invested in such
strikes, saying' nothing of the enor
mous losses of the whole opmmunlty In
all brunches of business or of tho sac
rifice of human life by tawless violence
In such strikes. It has been estimated
that' the losses In the late anthracite
coal strike in tho state of Pennsyl
vania were over $200,000,000. The fol

A labor strike is an unequal contest
at best. It Is a contest of endurance
between hunger nnd thirst of the
human stomach nnd the Income of
cubital. Capital in such contests loses
none of its accumulation of wealth,
unless an industry itself should be de
stroyed: and in such case labor would
be the greater sufferer. The Income of
capital would bo temporarily lessened.
That would be all. The existence of
labor Itself Is dependent upon constant
employment, and Its condition cannot
be Improved by Idleness, or by lawless
violence or a disregard of tho rights ot
any law-abiding citizen. The obliga
tion of both capitalists and laborers,
like that of all citizens, is to promote
the general welfare, or, at least, to do
nothing to its injury. The paramount
object in the establishment and main
tenance of free government Is to pro
mote the general welfare. Some method
of prollt sharing between employers and
employes that would secure an har
monious co-operation of both so ns to
prevent labor strikes and Improve tho
condition of labor is of vital Import
ance, for tho pillars of the republic rest
upon the comfort of the home and tho
happiness of the llresldo of labor.

THE NEWSPAPER GETS THEHE.
Its Vast Superiority ns an Adver
tising Medium Shown.
In the course of a recent lecture in
Hartford, Conn,, on "Tho Muklng of a
Newspaper," Charles Hopkins Clark, of
the Cournnt, said:
"How aro you going to get at the
public? Mall them circulars, and the
waste baskets In 10,000 homes glvo each
a weary yawn, and the circular disap
pears unread, Call upon tho people and
explain tho merits of your wares. Tho
hlgn 'Our Busy Day,' hangs in business
ofllces; In private hoiifces you must
ring tho bell, Oftenest you nre turned
away. If you get in by nny shrewd ex
cuse, you cannot go beyond the hall
or reception room you nro quietly
watched In the Interests of overcoats
and umbrellas.
"But put a cleverly worded adver
tisement of these wares In a newspaper
that has nn established circulation In
tho city's home and business houses,
and see what happens. You couldn't
get In thoro yourself, but your adver
tisement Is there on the breakfast
table, In the library, in the parlor, In
the sewing room, and when everybody
Is Inquiring for the paper which can't
, bo found, It Is very likely doing duty
i on tho quiet In the kitchen, It Is all
over (he house and wanted there. You
are not. Similarly, at the ofllco it Is
read and re-read, and part of the use
of 'This Is Our Busy Day' sign Is to
get tho cluuico to read the papers. And
it Is interesting to note the advertise
ment has another than a commercial
use. It Is printed for business purposes
pure and simple; but It Is often read as
news,"
