Worn-0ut MOney-What is Done With

The national bank notes and fractional

nary enlightment It will, if we per-
init the same causes to operate upon US
which produced the retrogressive move
ments in former ages. And, to me, it
seems evident that this cause is a lack
of corresponding moral and intellectual
advancement. Already the backward
movement has begun, and this very la
bor.saving machinery upon which we
pride ourselves may become the means of
facilitating our undoing. (Here we
called attention to an article, republished
in the ADVANCE last week. from the N.
Y. Times, headed "a Landed Aristoc-
racy," and insisted that the fact that 4
respectable newspaper dared to advocate
the creation, in this country, Of a caste
based upon wealth and intended to be
perpetual was, to our mind, an evidence
that retrogreesion had already begun.
BY the use Of labor. saving machinery
the rich can make farming more profit
able, and can thus successfully compete
with such rs cannot afford to buy all
such machinery rs may be made avail
able in the prosecution OF agriculture.
BY means Of combinations, the rich may
thus Cypress the poorer class OF farm
ers to an extent to compel them to re-
linquish their titles t, their lands and
become tenant farmers, employed peas

stances, might suffice to enslave some
entire township. =

al and Intellectual advancement must
keep pace with material progress. Life
must cease to be a fight in which each
one is striving to pull down his neigh
bors that himself may thrive. Mankind
must come to continually recognize their
duty to God and to their fellows. We
must live up to those two christian max
inns, upon which hang all the law and
the prophets that is: learn to love and
serve God in spirit and in truth, and to
love our neighbor as ourself. Unless
the world can attain this degree Of ex-
cellence it must continue to be alternate
ly enlightened and darkcned For my.
self, believe that this moral progress
is both possible and probable, If Gully Il
large proportion of mankind will strive
do their duty.
A 4th Of July song and chorus, with
the band accompaniment followed, and
on its conclusion the call to dinner was
sounded. Il was a basket picnic but
there was an abundant supply and the
quality was Of the best. After dinner
an hour or so was spent in social amuse-
ment, croquet playing and other diver
sions. ...
The company was then again called
about the stand, aud after music by the
band, the following toasts were an
nounced and responses called for:

7th. Hopperdozers.-Mr. David Wat

ground.
9Th. Yankee enterprise.-Mr. A. B.

The Band then gave another install

the formal meeting adjourned, and from
that time until six o'clock, perhaps, the
company was gradually separating, ev-
erybody being pleased apparently with
the manner in which the one hundred
and first national anniversary had been
spent on Featherstone prairie. We
cannot close without thanking the
Featherstone folks for affordins us a
day OF real pleasure, and when next
they have 8 jubilee we want to be with
them.
