COLCHESTER, ILL.,, Nov. ~, 1879.
10 the Editor u Tue workISexAN.s ADVOCATE.
Everything in the universe is the apph
cation Of means to ends. The reason
ing Of philosophers, the labors Of scientists,
the wisdom OF legislators, have all been
eXerted with a view of adapting means to
ends. What is the great end for which
the human family is striving
am Of the opinion that 1t is impossible
TO conceive of the full accomplishment of
the great end at present
But we can grasp some portion OF it in
our hands That is by Judging the future
progress Of the human family, by its pro-
gress during the last century.
In the irst place, the tune will arrive
when it will not depend upon the circum-
stances attending the birth Of individ uals as
to whether they shall enjoy the benefits of
education or not (as is the case at presently,
but ali will be educated alike, Independent
Of the rank, religion, language OF financial
circumstances of their parents.
In tine second place, people will not
have to starve AMI GO without clothing
and shelter as they do, because they can't
get work. II viii he part Of the duty Of
government to provide homes for the
frlendless and the poor. Not such homes
as they have where their constitutions
are but little II any better than it Was in
the street, but placed where they gan get
good food, warm clothing, shelter and EN-
ployment suitable TO their respective
trades, business or protest.
When such things as these are accom-
pllshed poverty, intemperance and crime
will gradually disappear. Some great writer
has said that, Poverty. in the abstract,
is wrong in society" Aud it is true, but
we must accomplish tins by step at a
time. Many men expect too much in a
short time. The hardest part Of the work
is to eradicate old IDEAS. 1t is compare
lively easy matter TO get new systems in
force after old ones are rejected.
II is so with the new finance system
Men have been taught to believe that there
is some some potent power about gold as
money. 1t may take some time to reject
this belief The convertible bond sys-
ten" is not the end. 1t is simply one Of
the means to the end The next step will
be universsl cooperation, and the next will
be something else. The finance system
will be adopted in Europe in few years.
But we must not stop at this. This gener-
alton must turn the wheel of equalization
as far as possible. and the next will com
mence where We left of When the end i;
reached, then "will be made people. Not
crowns and thrones, but nations not
kings and lords, but men.

The rag baby is dead T. How old
Money bags chuckles at the idea. de
does not see how the baby, under proper
management, is to grow into giant, and
furnish vigor to the new nation, freed from
the monopolies that nov plunder and op-
press the people.
The ''rag-baby" Of the Ohio platform
can scarcely become the pet of the farmer
and working man. Why Because it is
chained to bond that claims more than
the national annual accumulation 1t costs
too much to look at it and handle it, 1t
il not the farmers and workingman's baby,
because they have no bonds to exchange
for it. 1t is too aristocrstic and exclu-
sive.
There was one good pnInt about the
Ohio baby" IL claimed NO gold to stand
upon. The wealth and resources of the
nation" furnished ample security. Now
if, instead Of requiring greenbacks for the
bonds, OF bonds for the greenbacks, our
wealth and resources" had furnished di-
rect security for the greenbacks, it would
have enabled farmers and business men to
secure ample currency for improvements
and protective enterprises. 1t would have
greatly relieved them from the grasp Of
the money power and its exOrbitant inter
est. 1t would have been n much more po-
tent rag baby" And if, instead of 3.65

cisnt to cover expenses, it would have
been . much greater relief. The conflict

Gus this morning for the purpose Of con-
sidering the Southern question and de-
ternlining the order of business. IL was
resolved to close debats upon the I.oaisi-
ANA question tomorrow night or Mon
day, ana take up one of the appropria-
tion bills and the other regular business
before the body, which had largely ac.
|camulated during the last week. In re-
gard 70 the best policy to be pursued
toward the Southern States, it was ro.
solved to leave the subject entirely with
the special committee appointed for the
purpose, but there is no doubt az ia
what that policy will be. In the concus
to-day the utmost faith and devotion
we're expressed in the President. and
there Is no doubt that the Republicans
IN the Senate will give him a vigorous
and steady support so far as the South
Is concerned. The Kellogg government
Will be endorsed, and the course of the
