The Errors of Socialism.

professor W O. Summer. in scRiBSrR for october.
The projects of the socialists are
based on the dogmas that man il born
free and good, when he is, in fact
born helpless, and good or bad. as he
works out his destiny; that the re.
sponsibility for vice and crime is on
society, when, in truth, it is in the in.
dividual that nature meets men al
the outset with gratituous bounty,
which some appropriate to the exclu.
sion of others, when, in fact, nature
holds back every thing, and surren-
ders only to force and labor;that man ia
born endowed with natural rights y
when, in truth, nothing can be affirm
ed universally of the state of man by
nature save that he IS born to struggle
for his own preservation with nothing
but the family to help him, and moth
ing but liberty, or the security OF us
ing his own energies for his own vel
fare, as a fair claim upon his fellow
men that work is pleasant, or, under
some circumstances, might be so,
when, in truth, work is irksome that
men universally may be made, by
some conventional agreement or sem
timental impulse, to work for others
to enjoy the product, or to save in
order to give away that they may
be led universally to lay aside talents,
health, and other advantages that
we can increase consumption end les
sen production, yet have more that
all have an equal right to the product
of some that talents are the result of
chance, which intelligence ought to
correct, when, in truth, talents are the
reward, from generation to generation,
OF industry, temperance, and pru.
dence; that the passions need no con-
troll, and that self-denial is vice.
this is the socialistic creed, and from
1t it follows that man has a enatural
right to whatever he needs; that his
wishes are the measure of his claims
on his fellow.men I; that, if he is in
distress, somebody is bound to get
him out; that somebody ought to de.
eide what work every one should do,
regardless of aptitude;to distribute the
products equally, regardless of merit,
aud to determine consumption, re-
gardless of taste or preference. As
this "some one" must DE d pures9des.
pot, or, in fact, god, all socialistic
schemes annihilate liberty. Most of
them are atheistic, and reject any
other god than the master of society.

The Philosophy of Stkries.

.Where are you going with the
puppies, my little man ?" asked d
gentleman OF small boy yesterday
whom he met with three pups in a
basket
"Goin' to drown them," was the re.
ply.
Il want pup for my little boy to
play with, what do you say to letting
me take one Of them ?"
GIL sell you one," spoke up the
boy with true American enterprise.
"Ill sell you this yeller one for half a
dollar, the black one for 70 cents and
the spotted one is worth dollar"
81 think my boy would like the
spotted one best but you ask too
ruch for it. You had intended
drowning all of them, but I'll give
you 25 cents and save you the trouble
OF drowning the spotted one.n
Twenty five cents for that spotted
pupil" exclaimed the boy; 81 can't do it;
taxes is high; rent is high groceries
is high /; oil is down and going lower
oh, no; can't take less than dol
lar"
"But you intend to drown
"Iake the black one at rs cents. !"
my little boy wouldn't like the
black one"
"Take the yellow one at half dol
lar. and he's dog cheap
81 don't like his color"
:. well, then you'd better tell your
little boy to play with his toes" and
he continued on bis way to the river.
remarking, "No party can dead beat
his way on me these hard times

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the STEP
ping stone to health When the system lacks
vitality, the various organs flag in their duty,
become chronically irregular, and disease is
eventually instituted. To prevent this un-
happy state of things the debilitated system
should be built up by the use of that inimita-
BILE tonic, Hostetters Stomach Bitters which
inylsorates the digestive organs, and insures
the thorough conversion of food into blood of
a nourishing quality, from whence every mus,
Gle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies
OF vigor, and the whole system experiences
the beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the
system is refreshed by healthful slumber, the
nerves grow strong and calm, the dependency
begotten of chronic indigestion and an uncer,
tain state of health disappears, and that sal
low appearance OF the skin peculiar to habitu-
al lnvalids, and persons deficient in vital ener-
gy, is replaced by more becoming tinge.

a Letter from Secretary Sherman.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Tho following
letter was receive d here to-day by
Thomas M. Nichol Secretary Of The
Honest Money Lea que, in answer to
one addressed by him to Secretary
Sherman regarding the recent re-
ports about change Of his views and
the policy OF resumption. 1t is the
most emphatic declaration on the
subject which has come from any OF
the heads of the departm onts in
Washington:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 1S78.-Dear
Sir: Your letter of the 18th inst. is
received | have no wonder if, in
the face of such kilograms as have
been sent over the wires, you should
feel distracted and COMPOUNDED, but
there is not one word of truth in the
whole story you mention. Nobody
here has proposed TO recede from the
position we have taken on the re-
sumption act, its feasibility and ad-
visibility. No member of the Cab
met has proposed change, nor has
the President been consulted, nor has
anyone ever thought OF such a thing
The whole thing was a scandalous
and outrageous Justification. The
change in the mode of paying out
silver dollars was the pretext, but
the real object it seems to me was
simply desire by newspaper cor.
respondents to create a sensation.
They have falsiied and perverted an
interview l bad with o Republican
editor here, but | think the correc-
ton has already been fully made or
will be made clear within day or
two. Go on, therefore, with courage
and hope. You may be certain there
will be no letting down by the exec
utive branch of the Government as
TO resumption on the LIST day of JAM
uary next. Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

a few days ago the Tines con-
tanned short paragraph stating that
Mr.. Levi w. Fairbanks chairman of
the county Democratic committee of
Taylor, had refused to follow his
party any further in the direction Of
groenback imitation and reputation,
and had 'esigned his Craftsmanship
and announced his purpose to act
with the honest money party, the
Republican. The editor of tho Bur.
lington Gazette, Democratic, fancied
this was a "Whig lie," ard so he
waote Mr.. Fairbanks inquiring as TO
its truth. The answer was satisfac-
tory, and here it is:
editor Gazette: The slip you send me is
true, with the following explanation: The ne
gro is not in the fence in this fight. The finan-
cial question is the one of most Importance be.
fore the people. The Democrats Of Iowa and
of other States, have sacrificed their principles
and adopted tie greenJack doctrines. The Re.
publieans believe in the money doctrines of
Jefferson and Jackson, and can't be a Green.
hacker, and remain an honest man, as see it.

There are thousands Of honest

and will vote quietly as they feel,
and in the not distant future will re-
call their act as among the most hon.
orable of their lives. Greenbackism

soon pass away, and it's deluded par.
