Labor class 900 .OOo 900
Now it will be seen that this all came
out of labor. 1t is not money, but the
products Of labor which pay it. Now, if
the workingmen turn their attention to
the mode of Issuing money, as contained in
our platform, and to the laws Of business
depending upon these financial laws, and
make themselves thorough masters Of this
subject, they could, probably, this very
Presidential campaign, have laid good
foundation for a complete revolution in
favor Of their platform. But the ques-
ton Is, whether the strikes have not had
the effect to turn the attention Of all the
employing class, away from the laws of
distribution and toward the strikes, !" and
the " striker" thus rendering odious the
labor cause, and combining 1t 80 that it can
not extend to but a small portion Of
laborers even. Let us turn our attention,
then, to the facts. The figures here given
are worthy of serious thought. We must
perfect our organizations, and make them
known among workingmen, as the Place
to get correct information, and asa means
to put that information into a shape to
tell upon the laws and customs which rob
us, and hide the iHiquity. Workingmen,
look at the table We have furnished, and
tell US how ''strikes" viii ever give as our
share, while the laws of distribution are as
at present. We must have an honest and
cheap money, and our platform proposes
the manner to getit, and we cannotatford TO
take any course which can be used to keep
our organizations within their present mar
row limits. No temporary relief of in
creased wages will answer our purpose
what We want, is, laws Of finance that
will furnish reliable money at cost, and
no monopoly in it. If workingmen had
control Of all the land, the modes of trans
portation, the mills to grind, the -four and
the stOrehouses to-store 1t, and the money
to exchange it upon at their own
prices or terms, they would have lust
what these laws give to the capitalists, and
withhold from the workingmen. Now,
take away these unjust advantages, and
make Just laws TO regulate money, ard
the transportation of the products of labor,
and we shah hear no more Of strikes, nor
Of poverty among workingmen.

be what becomes OF the sons Of sue.

hands Of the sons Of the founders; but
these are exceptions. The old names
and the old trade generally pass into
the hands Of others. "Do you sec
that man shovelipg coalf Well his
children, and children like his, will
jostlo your pampcrcd sons and rule
this land" said an old New Yorker
the other day.
Tho old names have ceased in the
pulpit. The famed man OF the bar
seldom has successor. The eminent
iurists carry their honors with them
10 the grave. Merchant princes arc
obliteratcd.
Tho reason is clear. Tho father
laid the basis of business one way and
tho sons build another. Men who
earned their fortunes by hard work
by attention, that wore their own
book. keepers, statesmen, cashiers, and
often porters, are folJ~;gsd hy son,
who do as little as possioIc, who dclc

had been sitting at his fireside with bis
wife. He intended to depart in the
morning FOR this city, and thctwo were
making the most OF the last time they
would be together probably for several
months; the candle had burned out,
and they were seated close to the open
fire place, the wife holding in her
arms child of o few months. After
the shock the husband was found ly-
ing on his face, dead, a beam across
his neck which in falling had nearly
severed his head from the trunk and
the mother was so frightfully burned
by the fire brands that she could not
have lived many inmates, and the in
fant was discovered lifelcss nearly
rod distant. A family Of seven per-
sens on the outskirts Of Visalia, who
were sound asleep, were sunk, house
and all, some two or three feet below
the surface of the ground. All were
rescued, however, alive, except baby
which was burned to death by coming
in contact with a stove. A mother
was nursing a sick child, girl OF IA

before with chils and fever. After

like reading romance, but they arc
facts, and such facts as these fortu-
natcly arc rarely met with. The des-
olation that has visited the country is
indicated by the grief stamped on
many faces when any question relative
to the disaster is asked them or any
allusion made to the subject.

Sitting Up for Her Boy,

Here and there throughout the vii.
age few lights flicker like pale stars
through the darkness. One shines
from an attic window, where a youth-
full aspirant for literary honors labors,
wasting the midnight oil and the
elixir Of his life in toll, useless il may
be save as patience and industry are
gained, and give him hold upon
eternal happiness. Another CLEANS
with q ghastly light from a chamber.
INTO which deatn IS cntcrIng anu ire
departing.
One light shines through low cot
tage window from which the curtains
ore pushed partially aside, showing q
mothers face, patient and sweet, but
careworn and anxious. The eyes,
gazing through the night, are faded
and sunken, but lighted with such
love as steals only into the eyes OF
true and sanity mothers, who watch
over and pray for their children who
hedge them in from the worlds temp
tation, and make of them noblo men,
and true and loving women. II is
nearly midnight, and the faded eyes
arc strained to their utmost to catch
the far.off sight of some one coming
down the street. The mothers listen
ing ear loses no sound however slight
that breaks upon the stiffness that
reigns around.
No form seen, no quick step heard,
she drops the curtain slowly, goes
back to the table where an open book
is lying and a halfknit sock The
cat jumps up in her chair, and yawns
and shakes herself, and gradually
sinks down again into repose. No
one disputes her possession Of the
easy chair. Up and down the little
room the mother walks, trying to
knit, but vainly she can only think
of her son, and wonder and imagine
what is keeping him. Her mind pic
lures the worst, and ber heart sinks
lower and lower. Could tho thought
less boy know but ono half the an
guish he is causing he would hasten
at once to dispcl it with his presence.
She trcmbles now as she listens, for
an uncertain step is hcard--a sound Of
coarse laughter and drunken ribaldry;
her heart stands stilk and she grows
cold with apprehension. Tho sound
passes aud dies away in the distance.
Thank heaven, it is not he. and glow
comes over her. and onco moro her
heart beats quickly.
Only moment for tho clock on the.
mantle shows on it's pallid face that It
is almost midnight. Again tho cur.
tain is drawn aside, aud again tho
anxious, loving eyes pcering into tho
darkness. Hark sound OF footsteps
coming nearer and nearer; o shadowy
form advancing shows more and more
distinct; u chccry whistle, brisk,
light step up the pathway; u throw
ing wide open of the door, and tho
truant boy finds himself in his moth.
er's arms, welcomed and wept over.
He cbafes at tho gentle discipline; hc
don't like TO be led by apron strings
but he meets his mothers gentle ques-
tioning gaze with one honest and
manly, and makes a halfunwilling
promise not to be so late again. And
hc keeps his promise, and In after
years thanks heaven again and again
that he had mother who watched
over him, and prayed for him.
He knows better than she now, tho
good that was done by her sitting up.
