We may yet live to sec a conflict in America between the capitalists on one aide and Organized labor on the other. But wc shudder at such sn outlook and tremble for the better protection of all rlsssoa when, mob luw asserts its sway. We know that no legislation can increase the wages of any man, nor can governments in terfere, legally, with the law of yon* tracts. Every man haa a right to work for whatever wages he can get, aud no laxly of men, whether capitalists or laborers, have a right to deny any in dividual that iuherent privilege.
