80 THE RIGHT TO BE WELL BOKN 



his weakling fellow-laborer. If there be an 

 argument to prove the decay of a nation's 

 workmen and their open acknowledgment 

 of it, we have it right here in the stand 

 taken by the labor unions of the United 

 States. 



We breed horses with even temperaments 

 and quiet dispositions to be easily handled, 

 to weigh 2,000 to 3,000 pounds or more, 

 and to haul great loads and carry great 

 burdens, such as the "Clysdales," "Perch- 

 erons," "Belgians," and the "Horse of 

 Gaul." Each of these is classified; each 

 has its own Eegistry; each its value as 

 to its strength, disposition and ability to 

 stand hard work or carry great loads ; each 

 their stud fee, graded as to their colt's 

 value. The value of each is proportionate 

 to the cost of his keep, his longevity and 

 his ability to do the work which he is called 

 upon to do without straining his reserve 

 powers. We all know that during the times 

 of the Knights in Armour horses were bred 

 to carry over 600 pounds ; and what can be 

 done in breeding a horse can be done in the 

 Bame proportion with the human.
