If one works mo ZcJsfX, and can live thrifty manner than his fellowis, he is entitled to.the advantage he derives; People may. say that that is Capitalism, but-M * reasonahlyCanialism, and is not vicious Capitalism. The are being deluded when" they are told that if all tlm goods and property were shared it would he a better system. That is not right,, and such a system would result in ruin. If men da. not take a personal interest m their wo and the fruits of their work there would be no property at , all and no nroVlf Vi 'W *•' * v - 1 ‘ ’’ Archbishop-Kelly added, that Cap- , italism' imposed'' upon the ipan who held' moro wealth than was requir d fpr his daily .support, and .for the support of • his fotmily,, the, duty of dealing sympathetically .with those who possessed less.'
