THE NO. 26. DALLAS, OREGON. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23. 1869. VOL. 1. thus spoke of labor aud capital: "T h e relation o f labor and capital is now badly adjusted. Idle money— money which has no human wants, or affections, or sympathies— earns more than labor, with all its sweat, and toil, j and suffering. Money combines with j money, and seeks increase and immun- j ity under acts ot incorporation. W hen ' laborers combine tor their protection, they are in some o f our States de nounced by the law, and everywhere looked upon with suspicion. They should not antagonize They should co operate. They should be iu har mony. I do not kuow that the full solution o f this great problem has been discovered, but 1 believe great progress has been made o f late years to establish a juster and' better relation. That progress will continue. It must cora- nnind thfG’ efforts o f an advancing civil ization, and the favor o f a just God, until at last the human intellect and hand and blood, as they constitute the nobler, shall also be the better paid mem ber in the great partnership o f labor and capital."
