Printer He was candidate for the

at that time to defer his aspirations.
We should judge that his experience

the office.

HARD TIMES AT HOME.

The New York Herald of late date
makes the starving condition OF three
little children, picked up in an almost
dying state, the subject of a leading
editorial, and it closes with the sug-
gestion to well-provided people that it
is conscientious duty to see that no
such suffering is possible in their i'm
mediate neighborhOod. There are
some sights to be witnessed in the
streets Of st. Paul nowadays, which,
thank Heaven, have been strange
enough heretofore. And after pass
ing by the crowd of unemployed peo-
pie, the most significant one is the
number of povertystricken little
children, basket in hand, asking
for broken victuals, or, rs they phrase
it, 1.-the leavings of the table, The
small band is on the increase, too, and
there are four to one in the early sum-
mer days. 1t is not a pleasant outlook
for the long dreary, inactive winter,
unless some blessed change predicted
with the bountiful harvest dawns
upon us in that interval.-Pioneer-
Press.
Is it not horrible to think that all
this incalculable human misery has

THE WAY THEY LOOK AT III.

The immense meeting of the labor
ers held in Chicago July "a, was ad-
dressed by several speakers, among
the rest by a. r. Parsons. dis
charged printer. He thus presented
the case:
The time has come in the history Of
this country when the working classes
will no longer be starved and ground
to death in the interests OF the money
power. The Union Pacific to-day has
conceded to the demand Of it's en-
ployes, and also the Northwestern,
which pays its employees 30 cents a
day. [.:Oh oh - groans and Kisses.
AS I was saying, the great North
western pays it's employees the PIN
nacle starvation price of 50 cents a
day land charges 10 cents to take them
out to work. FellOwWOrkers, it is
upon such wages as these that we are
expected to raise our children, that
we are expected to conform our lives
to the lives of the Cinnamon. 1t is
expected that we should rear virtuous
daughters and honest sons to rule this
republic on 90 cents a day. Voice,
eve can't and we won't do it. The
great Union Pacific railroad is con-
trOlled by man named Jay Gould, OF
the State OF New York. This man
was in the Territory of Utah three
weeks ago, and on the question Of a
reduction of wages he said: ''If the
tramp won't work at our prices we
can send to China and get workmen
who can live Oh a rat and a bowl Of
rice a day. Cries Of chang him;
groans for Jay Gould. This man Jay
Gould in this mornings paper, this
president of the Pacific railway, is
reported as having said that the re-
cent demonstrations in Pennsylvania
and the east are the first steps toward
Il great revolution which cannot be
resisted till it has accomplished the
destruction Of this republican form Of
government. This man Gould has
said this. What do you think should
be done with him! [Voices-''Down
with him; hang him." and wild COM
motion. This man-Jay Gould-says
this: that this movement will be the
destruction of the American republic.
Renewed cries Of chang him." He
said he would gladly give one million
dollars to see president Grant in the
White House. Voice, "He never
will.'1 What do you think of this

and become wealthy from our sub
stance, now undertake to rob us of
our liberty. What do you think
should be done with such men

graph poles, down with them -
He argued that the laboring men
should organize great national party
and take possession of the government
and use it's powers to promote their
own prosperity.

Mr.. J. W. McClung, of st Paul.
who, by the way, is just and gene
rous-minded man, writes letter to
the Pioneer-P Press, in connection with
the suicide of we'll known citizen of
that town. in which he says:
Mr.. Connellee while a healthy man
had many manly characteristics. An
annecdote is told of him illustrative
of his generosity and kindness too
good to be lost for the sake of its ex-
ample and as a just tribute to the
man. A boy was drowning at the
lower levee. Connellee was standing
on one of the boats. and as the boy
came up so he could see his head, in
he plunged, reckless of his own safety,
and seiZing the boy brought him
safely to shore. He had no interest
in him. Didn't know him. But he
know he was drowning and he went
to his relief. And yet society allows
such noblemen to perish and comes
not to their relief. but passes by on
the other side, like the Priest and the
Levite. No good Samaritans. | have
written these facts and reflections
for the moral lessons they teach.
They cannot help poor Connellee, but
we have in st. Paul and all the world

and pervading charity. 1, larger heart

BEECHER.

That hollow old shell, Henry Ward
Beecher, went around the country
last winter making speeches in favor
of resumption and contraction. Now
he has this to say about the labor out
break:
The necessities Of the great railway
companies demanded that there
should be reduction Of wages. There
must be continued shrinkage until
things come back to the gold stand
ard. 1t was true that one dollar day
was not enough to support a man and
six children. 1t was not enough if
tue man smoked. if he drank beer.and
if he aud his family want superior
clothing, food and shelter. But is not
one dollar day enough to buy bread
Mr.. Beecher continued: "Water costs
nothing. Man cannot live by bread.
it is true, but the man who cannot
live on bread and water is not fit to
live. When man is educated away
from the power of self-denial he is
falsely educated. A family may live
on good bread and water in the MORN
ing, and bread at midday. and good
bread and water at night. Laughter
Such may be called the bread of afflic-
tion, but it is fit that man should eat
the baead of affiictiOn.'
Thus discourses the eloquent friend
of Mrs. Tilton, living upon 10000 a
year!

affliction" if it is so wholesome and

THE WHEAT CROP.

The California crop is almost total
failure.' Russia is engaged in war
with Turkey; Austria is getting ready
to sail in. This closes the great fields
of wheat supply in eastern Europe.
The Mark Lane E.1press of July 3Oth,
says:
AS the harvest approaches. more
numerous reports as to the present
condition and probable result of the
wheat crop come to hand and their
general tenor is decidedly against an
average yield. Complaints are made
from many of the principal wheat
growing districts that the ears do not
appear fully developed and top sets
have been rendered barren by blight
or mildew. The dissatisfaction is not,
however, universally expressed, al
though in no cases are we given to
expect an abundant yield. Everything
now depends on the weather, for as
the time goes on, the deficiency be-
comes more noticeable.
In the Mississippi valley alone the
prospect is good; but in Kansas we
hear that the crop will not yield as
much as was expected; and good deal
of the brag will subside when we come
to threSh in Minnesota. But the re-
ports that have gone forward have
broken down the price in Liverpool.
The Mark Lane Express says:
The main feature of the week has
been the sanguine estimates which
have been foreshadowed of the Amer
lean wheat crop. Although it is OBJ
yious reliance cannot at present be
placed upon figures it seems clear that
there is at least a promise of abund-
ance. This fact cannot fail to be of
Importance, having regard to the di-
minished power of Russia to forward
her usual supplies may tend to keep
prices on more moderate level than
at one time seemed likely,
That's the way it works. When we
have good crop the harpies who
prey upon us SO exaggerate its proper
tions that even in the midst of for
eign war the price falls below peace
rates.
The millions for a year past have
been, as they say themselves, 'sliving
from hand to MOUTH and by LAYING
in no large stocks have managed to
keep down prices. And now, with
500. 600 bushels of wheat in sight in
the United States and Canada. against
10. 341 .2SS bushels in 1876. at the same
time; with 100000 bushels in New
York as compared with 2,5O5, Jos
bushels in 1876. and with a great war
raging in Europe, we find wheat
worth about $1.O0 per bushel in Min
nesota
And our enemies hope that we will
rush our wheat on the market after
harvest and break down the price still
farther. We trust that every farmer
will sell just as little wheat as he can
possibly help. When the empty mills
and granaries begin to howl for wheat.

And in the name Of the bare-footed
Christ this well-fed old yoluptuary
shakes his gray hairs IN the face OF
starving multitude and tells them that
they should be happy upon prison
fare,-bread and water and that
they can vary the monotony Of the
diet by going without water at noon
And his full-bellied parishioners think
that this is an elegant joke, and in
dulge in pleasant laughter !!
A working man of St. Paul, a Mr..
II. Y. Russell, writes to the Pioneer
Press a we'll considered letter in which
he says:
The conscience of Christianity has
not yet earnestly been brought to bear
upon the labor question, although we
pray daily that Gods will may be done
upon earth. The church will undoubt-
edly grapple with it some day, else it
will forfeit all claim to respect in the
eyes of intelligent, believing men, land
take it's place as mere tradition
trampled under foot by the advancing
secular life of the race. For myself,
I belong by spiritual nativity to the
Christian faith, but l confess with
shame that a shocking Indifference
exists in the churches to all this vast
problem-and more especially perhaps
in those religious circles which either
cultivate a frantic solitude to achieve
personal safety at the Divine hands.
or which exhibit a preternatural ac-
tivity in the matter Of candles and
chasubles.
Surely such mockeries and shams as
this Beecher tend to bring the sacred
name of religion into contempt.

THE REJCTENiYED SOUTH

There can be no question that the
southern states which were in the
hands of the carpet-baggers were
shamefully misgoverned. The gov
erning population. the negroes, paid
but little Of the taxes which they inn
posed; their ignorance was necessarily
dense; they distrusted the white man
Of the south, while they had the most
unlimited confidence in the white men
Of the north and thus they fell a
willing prey to the desperate northern
adventurers, whose politics were SIM

A. Those who live by physical
labor, the doom Of the great mass of
mankind.
@. What then is the purpose of a
republic?
A. To promote the prosperity Of
those who live by physical labor.
@. Has the republic performed it's
function when the great body of it's
laborers are starved into insurrection!
A. Certainly not.
@. If a conflict arises between the
few and the many in republic who
must yield
A. The few.
Q. What is the highest province of
craftsmanship!
A. To SO govern as to secure the
prosperity Of the many and at the
same time protect the rights of the
few.
@. Can republic long exist where
the powers of government are used to
enrich the few at the expense of the
many!
A. No; the result will be the i'm
poverishmento of the laboring majority;
their degradation and decentralization;
and. as they constitute the governing
power of the republic, the fountain
of government will be poisoned at it's
source.
@. What then is nece ssary in re-
public?
A. To subordinate all things to the
prosperity and elevation of the labor
ing majority.
@. Is poverty Or prosperity the
natural condition of a civilized peo-
pie?
A. Inasmuch as the fertility of the
earth and the capacity Of human labor
are practically unlimited, nature is
not to blame for the poverty of the
people. There is no poverty that does
not spring from the operation of bad
laws, or the absence Of good laws.
@. What is the meaning of the
troubles that now afflict our country
A. It is the logic of the Declara.
ton Of Independence moving through
blood towards reforms that should
have been peacefully affected by wise
craftsmanship.
G. Will it be possible to lift the
labor force Of our country very much
above the status of the labor force of
Europe!
: A. It will:
l. Because it is necessary to the
contrivance of republican institutions;
and the republic must not perish.
2. Because as the labor force of
America rises in the scale it will lift
up the labor force of Europe, and
make republics possible there.
3. Because the past growth of our
country has been due to the fact that
labor heretofore has been elevated
and honored among us.
4. Because the laborers of America
having tasted the sweets of liberty
cannot be trampled back into serfdom.
'Like the young lion that has once Tapped
blood,
The soul can ne'er be coaxed back to aught
else"
@. What good effects will follow
from the present disturbances
a. The ''bloody shirt will be laid
away forever the quacks and charla
tans who trade in the passions of sec
tions will be retired; and the public
mind will be forced to consider the
financial and labor questions, the rea
issues of our age and nation and
hereafter the first duty of politica
parties will be to conserve the welfare
of the men who toll at the anvil, the
plough and the loom. and not the
| wishes of the SCOTS and Goulds and
Vanderbilts. Muscles will be once
more rendered honorable in a land
which of late has worshipped only
