The Rise of the Ind vidual.

Every laborer in America ought to be a capitalist; at least, to some slight extent, and almost every healthy American labor might be a capitalist, but he must become wiser than he is to-day. He must learn to be industrious, get rid of his vices, and must not waste his wages. He must come to such control of his own individuality that he will be a free partner in a free contract, able, on his own account, to accept or refuse the terms offered him. In some way, labor must be organized on one hand and capital on the other, so that they can stand feeing each other as free, friendly, self-controlling, independent powers. Then they can peacefully settle the problems that threaten their peace and their prosperity. The outcome, it seems to me, of human history, so far as the problems of labor, as well r.s all departments of life, are concerned, is to be this rise of individual into free, personal self-control. Bev. M. J. Savage, of Boston. General Rotcs Ingalls, Quartermaster Geheral IT, S. Army, says: “ St. Jacobs Oil is the best pain-cure we ever used.”
