Brisbane, Arthur, 1864-1936

"Editorials from the Hearst Newspapers"


It would be well if more very rich men had seen that young
mechanic catching his red-hot bolts.
It would be well if more young mechanics who like their beefsteak
and onions could see John D. Rockefeller sipping his glass of
milk and seltzer (his whole dinner), or know what Rockefeller
feels when he lies awake half the night. He has found pretty
well-paid employment for a hundred thousand men who sleep soundly
while he tosses and turns and feels the weight of a ton on his
chest.

THE TRUSTS AND THE UNION-- HOW DO THEY DIFFER?
A letter signed "Several Democrats from St. Paul" reads, in
part, as follows:
"In order to convert several rank Republicans it is necessary
that we should be able to explain the difference between a trust
and a labor union. Will you kindly, through your columns, make a
clear explanation of this distinction? Our opponents holdthat
both trusts and unions are combinations, which appears to be
true, but there is apparently a weak point in our ability to
definitely show the difference, and we beg that you explain it."
----
Trusts and unions are both combinations, beyond question. But a
pronounced difference distinguishes them, and we shall endeavor
to make it clear.
You see a horse after a hard day's work grazing in a swampy
meadow.
