' Selfishness.
, Brooklyn Eagle, ,
Very few students of social conditions in
America will be inclined to doubt the Judg
ment of CardtaaJ Gibbons in ascribing
much of the discontent to the effect' of
squandering the resources of the Individual
or family on luxuries which could ba dis
pensed with aa well as not We suppose.
however, that many pessimists will differ
with the cardinal in his Idea that the con
flict between employer and employ la not
Irrepressible. . He said In his Interview, be
fore starting for Montreal:
There Is continued unrest between the
employed and the employer, and it would
be most" beneficial if this condition could
be overcome. There Bhould not be any
need of conflict between labor and capl
tat, since both are necessary for the pub
lie good, and the one depends, on the co
operation of the other. Whoever strives
to Improve the friendly relation between
the proprietors and the laboring men, by
suggesttaig the most effectual means of dl
mlnlshlng and even removing the cause of
the discontent, is a benefactor to the com
munlty,"
Tha cause of the discontent Is universal
selfishness. To diminish and even to re
move It Is tha function of tha church,
which teaches that It la more blessed to
give than to receive. Optimists persist in
believing that, governed by the golden rule,
workmen and captains ot Industry would
produce such results that the markets of
the world would belong to th United
State. It la pleasant to note that Cardinal
Gibbons rather favors the optimists.
