LITERARY ITEMS, 



THE CLOSE RELATION OF CAPITAL AND 

 LABOR. 



Labor v:nd capital are so closely allied in 

 their mutual demands and interests, that 

 the proper respect and protection of both 

 require the most astute reasoning, and often 

 necessitate judicial tests to show their true 

 relations to each other and their just claim 

 on our humane sympathies, as both have 

 their relative rights. 



When it is remembered that all wealth is 

 the savings of labor, ai d that nine tents, in 

 fact, ninety-nine hundredths, of the people 

 are wealth owners in the truest sense, that 

 they are all more or less in the posession of 

 the result of their labor, requiring protec- 

 tion and security, it will be seen that any 

 attempt to destroy respect for the product 

 of labor is the most disintegrating element 

 of selfish greed, without right or just cause 

 for antagonism, even when the wealth of 

 the country is very unevenly divided. 



As well might a civilized community in- 

 stigate a war between the sexes, or children 

 and parents come to battle against each 

 other, as to incite war between the rights 

 of capital and the claims of labor; and it is 

 very evident that society could not exist 

 without due respect for both. — From "Labor 

 and Capital;" Demorest's Magazine for Oc- 

 tober. 



LOCALIZED VIRTUE. 



Gabriel Garcia, in his history of San 

 Domingo, states that the Creoles of the 

 West Indies were often prevented by cir- 

 cumstances from observing the rites of the 

 church, but ''never missed an opportunity 

 to fulfill the duties of hospitality and active 

 charity to the full extent ot their resorces." 



Yet those same charitable colonists massa- 

 cred two million five hundred thousands 

 Indians in forty years, worked hundreds of 

 thousands to death, and pursued the fugi- 

 tives with trained blood-hounds. At the 

 mere rumor of a shipwreck They would 

 travel dozens of miles tp assist the distressed 

 mariners, whether of Spanish or English 

 birth, and then take them to their homes, 

 or refit or replenish their vessel ; but the 

 idea of relieving a famine in a district of 

 unconverted aborigines would have been 

 considered tooabsued for serious discussion. 

 Their theory and practice of active charity 

 were limited to the Caucasian race — Felix 

 L. Oswald, in October Lippincott's.
