Capital and Labor

By Editor

The "Signs of the Times" takes no sides in the political struggle between capital and labor. It has no defense to make for the wrong-doing on either side. It deplores the purchase and debauchment of legislators by capital to serve its ends; and there have been many instances. It deplores the prostitution of the high and dignified calling of judge at the behest of great wealth. We do not believe that such cases are as frequent as has been claimed. We still believe that judges generally endeavor to decide in accordance with the law and justice. Where many men in high position fail morally and still hold their position, the influence for evil becomes wide-spread and fearfully demoralizing. The retaining of such men in office arouses strong antagonism among the working classes and the less favored in this world's goods.
