Doing For People What They Can And

What Does Labor Want? We Want More Schoolhouses And Less Jails; More Books And Less Arsenals; More Learning And Less Vice; More Leisure And Less Greed; More Justice And Less Revenge; In Fact, More Of The Opportunities To Cultivate Our Better Natures, To Make Manhood More Noble, Womanhood More Beautiful, And Childhood More Happy And Bright.

We Will Stand By Our Friends And Administer A Stinging Rebuke To Men Or Parties Who Are Either Indifferent, Negligent, Or Hostile, And, Wherever Opportunity Affords, To Secure The Election Of Intelligent, Honest, Earnest Trade Unionists, With Clear, Unblemished, Paid-up Union Cards In Their Possession.

Doing For People What They Can And Ought To Do For Themselves Is A Dangerous Experiment.

One Fact Stands Out In Bold Relief In The History Of Man's Attempts For Betterment. That Is That When Compulsion Is Used, Only Resentment Is Aroused, And The End Is Not Gained. Only Through Moral Suasion And Appeal To Man's Reason Can A Movement Succeed.
