Only by such standard can labor be dignified and capital defended * THE' -SUNDAY: -STAR, WASHINGTON, provingly, gladly and loyally follow, and fraternity, satisfaction perity will prevail among all peoples the world over. In this, as in all truly beneficent and progressive measures and movements since this has been a republican dem- ocrati¢ country, America must take the lead. Yes, Uncle Sam must show tom comes to an end the world over, the better for the whole world! Let real merit be the absolute and only test and sole standard, as that is the only true, sure and safe mieasure of the man or woman, and let the person who does mot stand the fest of merit glve place to the person who ddes. Let every one give and get value in fair exchange of equivalents in all the |'the’ way! vocations and transactions ofy life; give no one more or less than his or her real worth—that ‘is, giving in- trinsic value. No properly constituted, well balanced pergo; require or expect more. With such a scale of adjustment there can be no| . cause or excuse for strikes or conten- tione of any character our courts can- are on such basis all will bave an equal chance, and real merit must and will decide all issues. Then, too, dis- armament may be in rorder and th move for the. same may be carrle unznimously by the votes of the world, the universal verdict of civil- pparking; {ization. . 5 . In such matters the will of a well informed, well-to-do, satisied, pros- perous people must be reflected ih government which must take yhe lead, in which the people will willingly, aj against any charge of oppression of the laboring 88, A S Should Go Hand in Hand. Capital and labor should go hand in hand, each striving to do its ut- most for the other, while at the same time taking care each of its own in- tereBts by requiring the giving and receiving on the part of each of* just vdlue and compensation for money paid and service rendered. ‘The .principle of live and let live should prevail all along the line, on both sides, and a government of the Dpeaple, by the people and for the peo- @ make It 4 mattenof prime importance to know ‘what its em- ployes should be paid in order to en- able them to live and rear their chil- dren in decency and morallty, and so educate them as to make good citi- zens of such character, capacity and intelligence as to best serve their own and_our countr§'s interests mutually in their several stations of life, such as it may fall to their future to fill, and to be enabled to rise to higher positions of importance, usefulness and influence .as opportunity may pre- sent, and natural aptitude, intelli- ence: and preparation may enable { each and every one to avail himself or herself of; so that,due recompense, recognition and reward may accrue to all who, appreciating opportunity for advancement, may, attain it by indus- try, effort, honesty, self-reliance, and, if “necessary, self-denial, so giving a square deal and affording all a fair opportunity for advancement along legitimate lines in a legitimate way, thus doing away with that Hunnish, 1 heathenish, heartless idea of ‘“shoe- jmaker stick to your last.” If the shoemaker wants to leave the last and take to the law, let him do it! That is the true spirit of democracy and the orthodox democratic doctrine. If a man wants to stop pile-driving and go to preaching, let him do it! Never try to keep any one down, but rather help all to rise to higher things and make proper progress along the legitimate line for which he feels himself to be best fitted; no position is too high or too. good for the person who has the capacity to get there, and character and fitness to stay and make good. Hereditary Right® Passing. The time for any one to hold posi- tion by accident of birth rather than by reason of capacity and fitness is fast passing away: the hereditary right to rule as a born sovereign is properly becoming a thing of the past, and the sooner such antiquated cus- fine-looking, comfortable davenport quietly unfolds— lo, and behold, there is a full size comfortable bed—pil-, lows, sheets and blankets in place—ready to use.
