Fragmentary OCR from The Herald shows an advertisement section with mentions of rates contracts notices meetings and advertisements. It references names such as Bailey and Son and includes terms like arrearages and payments but the text is largely incomprehensible and lacks coherent events or clear entities.
The article argues for free trade as the foundation of sound policy, condemning duties as taxes on consumers for producers’ benefit. It warns that protection spurs overproduction, trusts, wage suppression, and national decline, urging governments to let capital and labor freely follow natural economic laws.
The author condemns protection for a single product as an unlawful interference with natural law. Temporary gains are outweighed by evils, harming Manitoba's fruit growers and broader industry. Individual enterprise is favored over legislative mandates in capital investment.
A letter from Ottawa published in Mani lha papers sparks a fight over editors nickname use The Heptile Press. Critics accuse a correspondent of blackening reputations while editors defend blue pencil filtering and insist no payment was involved. Gentler tones are urged by some as they debate press ethics.
The article urges patience, arguing against prejudging Klondyke district officials amid government investigations. It warns that hasty accusations are unfair and compares it to hanging a man before trial, urging reliance on official findings.
The piece argues capital is wealth created by labor and held by capitalists. It asserts all wealth stems from labor and that without labor there is no wealth or means to live. It cites the divine rule “by the sweat of thy brow” and contends even a farmer earning five hundred dollars annually becomes a capitalist to the extent of his savings.
A writer argues wealth stems from labor not capital profits. He labels bankers, lawyers, and others as parasites who skim profits, while laborers, mechanics, and manufacturers receive fair shares.
