j [Entered at the Postofut cA Alexandria, Virginia, as
second-class matter.}
i Meddlesome legislation?Labor and
Capital.
To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Meddlesome legislation is bad. and it may
j be stated as a wiae and just principle that
I true encourageineuf of industry consists in
allowing each and every man perfect liber?
ty to employ bis own labor und capital as
be may choose or elect, and that no unjust
favoriteism, preference, or undue privilege
be granted to any on,e individual cr class of
individuals for the facilitation or accumula*
tion of wealth. Tho object of government
is to protect men in the free use aud CDjoy
ment oi the reward of their labor, aud the
profits of their industry should be so secured
that the greed of clesa legislation could not
tamper with them.
Both labor raid capital should be left free
to work out their own reward without the
slightest interference from legislation, aud
whenever a conflict does occur between la?
bor and capital it is almost always the re?
sult of some direct or indirect interference
of legislative action, in giving the one more
or less advantage over the other. If Con?
gress has any power at all to interfere with
ibo natural rolatious oi labor and capital, it
is -imply to perfect regulations to insure
justice in the conduct of their relations, and
Congress can no more meddle, by law, with
such relations, without causing evil and
yicious results, thuii it could were -il to ut
tetnpt to legislate upon the laws i bat govern
the vicissitudes of tho weather, without
i making itself absurdly ridiculous.
Tbe relation between labor and capital
must be left unembarrassed by meddlesome
legislation, and allowed to regulate their
own dependence, one upon the other ; and
any attempt to protect tbe one works un?
merited injustice to tbe other. Non-inter?
ference was tho policy wbich the Constitu?
tion of tbe United States intended Congress j
to maintain tu reference to capital aud labor,
and the politician or Congressman who
vaunts himself as the special supporter and
defender of American labor and capital, i3 a
busy-body and a mischief maker, and Gnally
proves himself to be powerless to do
good, but powerful to do evil, and that con?
tinually.
Labor and capital m;i3t not be officiously |
dealt with if it is tot desirable to make one I
an evil to the other; but cupidity is always
cunning, and the desire of one class of men J
to encroach upon, or take, withodt a fair
and honorable return, a part of the earnings
of another is human nature, and thi3 result j
is obtained by class legislation ; and if sue- j
cessful ellorts to obtain dishonorable gains
under false pretenses be considered enter?
prise and the appropriation of such gains to
iacrease wealth be called prosperity or "ad?
vanced ideas," then, under Congressional
class legislation, a favored class- of tho
United States enjoy the complete amplitude
of such advantages. The adaptability of
labor and the ability of capital must be left
to be harmonized by the self-sustaining and
all-sufficient laws of supply and demand,
and in their own way and time should be
allowed to adjust any dispute that may arise
between lliem.
The efforts thus far to manage the rela
lious <:?( iabor and capital, or to improve
tbem, have been like those of a man who
desiring to fell a tree, began cutting from
the lop. Capital is the result of industry
ami economy; und thero i3 no iaw of either
political economy or tho science of govern?
ment to prevent the laborer from becomiog
tbe capitalist. The natural source of wealth
is industry or the industries of business; and
all other modes of acquiring wealth are ac?
cident;:! or artificial. Labor should reform
itself, and Ao\> all drains upon iL; earnings
that leud to consume its prolits, and pre
vent its ^-.vings; and should investigate
tboii- protective tarifl laws cf Congrces,
which, while claiming to benefit labor, do
lake from the consumers of the United
States eis hundred millions of dollars every
year, to be paid tc a few lavored manufac?
turers and their immediate employees; and
shoultl further ascertaiu if the repeal of
these promissory laws, which arc made for
the gain of tho few, to tho loss of the many,
would net be tho means of savi?g annually
to labor a sum equal to ten dollars, to every
man, woman and child in the United States.
Therefore, it should bo the primary object
Of labor to endeavor to cheapen tbe price of
its supplies, and tbe necessaries of life, and
without this effort it should not demand a
greater sum for it= services than tho capital
engaged in ordinary business can aflbrd to
pay. Great gaiii3 from business do not
come to all, and a business is prosperous
wheu, by good management, its expendi?
tures uro kept below its earnings; and with?
out untiring diligence and great frugality,
neither labor aor capital can thrive.
J. B. Johnson, M. D.
' Yes; I shall break the engagement," she
j said, folding ber arms and iooking defiant:
I "iL is really too much trouble to converse
i with him; he's as deaf as a post, and talks
I like he had a mouthful of mush. Besides,
I the way he hawks and spits 13 disgusting."
J "Don't"break the engagement for that; tell
I him to take I)r, Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It
j will cure him completely." "Well, I'll fell
j him. I do bate to break it oil", for in all other
I respects he's quite too charming'' Of course,
I it cured his catarrh.
