body. The arteries convey the blood from the
heart to all parts, Of the human body; the flow
in healthy man is abundant it goes to every
part, and allows each to absorb all that it
needs; it passes through the minute capillaries
to every cell and tissue. A pin prick will find
blood everywhere. The excess passes through
the caplllarles TO the veins, thence into the
lungs where it is combined with other ingre-
dients received from the atmosphere, and again
passes into the heart from which it is forced
into every part. SO great cities represent the
HEART AND LUNGS OF SOCIETY.
The lungs-the manufacturing cities-prepare
the blood in the form of clothing, boots and
shoes, hats and caps, furniture things for the
use and comfort, and education and recreation
of man; these pass down the railroads and
streams (the arteries), they branch off at every
station and landing, and the stream subdivides
on the country roads (the capillaries) and reach
every homestead and every human being
every cell) then back through the veins, re-
turning to the city (the hearty, come wheat, and
corn, and meat, through the veins into the
lungs the manufacturing districts) to feed the
operatives in order that they may prepare Gas
the lungs) new arterial blood for re-distribu-
ton; and the red and white corpuscles of the
blood represent money. tl..a4 :. .tft <,s
If the circulation of the blood should cease,
the man would die. If the circulation is irreg-
ular or deficient, the man is sick.
The telegraphic wires correspond to
THE NERVES su
of the human body-the conveyance of intelli-
gence to sensation. If mans foot is wound
ed his head receives dispatch instantly, con-
veying the intelligence and the radiating
nerves convey the sensation to every other
part and if one part suffers, all parts feel the
pain, sympathize and put forth efforts to re-
pair and heal AS it is thus with healthy
man, SO must it be with a healthy society. All
parts must be in intimate relation with every
other part all must cooperate for the COM
mon good. 1t must be realized that if one
part of the people are in want and ignorance,
all parts of the body polite must suffer. We
must also remember that as every body has
many parts, each adapted to it's especial work
and function, and happy in that work. SO there
must be various parts and organs to the body
polite or social feet, head, hands, heart,
lungs, limbs, muscles, nerves, veins-all of
which are especially fitted to perform special
service for all, and for which all are performing
reciprocal services. Such is not the present
slowly approaching it. I said you had reached
the third stage of asI lu .iw %H
INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS AND EDUCATION. IA
The first stage of industry is that in which
war alone is considered the proper vocation of
a free man. Women and slaves must do the
field work, and weave, spin, knit and sew for
the soldiers. '.i .'a.. aE:
Many small tribes or nations are by con-
quest. finally consolidated and held within
natural boundaries by the strongest then the
second stage of industry is reached, life being
comparatively secure, wars less frequent, and
only a portion of the men required for the
army.
Men now engage in industry and trade, atfrst
however; then comes division of
labor the second stage. The division of physi-
cal labor among uneducated men, people whose
brains contain no pabulum nothing to digest
while at work, is Supplying and degrading. A
man who is occupied all his life in making the
thirteenth part of a pin, with nothing to think
about, is evidently not living as he ought.
Though Spinoza, while engaged in earning
scanty living by polishing spectacle glasses,
worked out in his head his wonderful system of
philosophy, he was educated before he went to
polishing glasses.
The Hlird stage of industry is that in which
the hand-worker has received some education,
so that while he works with his hands he builds
in his head machine to do what his hands are
doing he becomes an inventor, machinist,
and a manager of machinery. This is the stage
in which you are to-day, for every farmer is
now machinist
EVERY FARM HAS IT'S WORKSHOP,
great or small. Many an intelligent farm lad
can run the steam engine that drives his fathers
machine, and all have at least COM
education, the tools for acquiring
all human knowledge.
You all use complicated machinery; you all
know when it is out of order. If you hear some
unusual rattle or squeaking, you stop your ma
chine instantly, ascertain the cause, and apply
the remedy.
You have found that the governing machine
ry of your country and its ID.
FINANCIAL MACHINERY
is continually out of order that it does not
perform it's work that it is continually either
breaking down or rattling and jingling, indicat-
ing arrangement. You have been told that
these great machines are too complicated for
you to understand or handle. You say, if it is
not more complicated than my threshing ma
chine, or my harvester l can understand it ;
you examine it, especially the English financial
machine you study it's construction, and it's his
tory, and its work; you find tbs amachine or sys
tom that promises to pay gold when it has no
gold to pay, and cannot get it; it is system
under which, while the nation has become
nominally rich, the people have become CORE
spondingly poor and deformed in body and
mind; that more and more of the children of
each overworked generation become too weak
to snatch a living in the midst of fierce compe-
titiOn, and drop off into
THE POOR HOUSE OR THE PRISON
you find that under that system trading and
professional callings are deemed more honor
able than the labor of production that pro-
ducers are degraded, because Of the small
share they receive Of what they produce; that
undue competition between the members of
an Overcrowded commercial class has caused
business to become a system Of war or
game Of chance; you find that the best mer
chants and the candid students and writer's of
England declare their financial system a fail
IRE, and the Bank Of England an overloaded,
overworked and inefficient machine. That the
continual raising and lowering of the rate of
interest in order to keep coin in England is
continually changing the market value of all
commodities, so that he who carries on a
legitimate manufacturing business is subjected
to all the uncertainties and risks of gambling.
That of those who engage in trade and COM
merce, a large majority die after a career of
labor and anxiety, leaving no provision for
their families, and it is exceptional to find
merchant who has not failed at some time. AS
you investigate, you wonder that the mercan-
tile classes have not discovered that the
PRIME CAUSE OF THESE EVILS
is in their financial system. You become doubt
full of the correctness of your own conclusions
as to the cause of these difficulties, social de-
rangements, and suffering you inquire of
