BEEcHER ON STRIKES.
Should you, on reading this head.
ing, jump to the conclusion that
Henry Ward Beecher has followed
the fashion, and "struck" for higher
wages, you would be as wide of the
mark. as the amateur sportsman, who
shot at a crow overhead, and killed
a promising bull calfin the next field.
Beecher has no need to strike; he has
too large and assured income tor that;
and SO long as he has a nice house In
town, and q country hot Sc at Peek
skill for the summer, and 10 q vel
come guest at the Irwin Mountain
House, in September tor the sake of
the crowd he draws after him, he
would not get much sympathy il be
did. But with all bis peculisrities,
Mr.. Beecher is a large hearted man,
whose voice is eloquently lifted in fa-
vor Of the right, as he understands it.
He preached ON Sunday in justifica-
tion of the striking wo. kmen. In
upholdibg their position, he did not
foolishly denounce capital or corpora
tions. On the contrary, he said;
"Without them society would collapse
and lie fiat. One might as we'll at
tempt to take the beams out of
house on some charge, or the bones
out of the human body-they are
hard, and often times disturbing, but
they are necessary" and in denounc-
ing "corners" and monopolies of the
accessories Of life, he said: "if any
man can control $40, 0,000,0 900 he can
say TO the whole grain crop, "Raise
up twenty or thirty per cent. in price,"
and every mouthful of bread that is
CONSUMED pays tribute to him, al
though the fabric often (thank God)
topples over on the man and kills him.
This systhm, Mr.. Beecher asserted,
disorganized every industry and made
producers and prices dance at the will
of the combined capitalists. The
great staples which all the world
needs were made the playthiDgs of
com biued capital. When we protest
against these things, he continued
they say, "Ah you're an agrarian, are
youi You're against richest" mo,
declared Mr.. Beecher, | am for riches
held tor God. l am against riches
held for the devil"
WORD OF WARNING
To those who hold railway securities,
OF those who are tempted to buy on
any sudden spirit of prices. When
the reports of earnings are made up
tor June they will show a large de-
crease by reason ot the strike. II
these should be adjusted in any way
by July 1s,, there will be an over
whelmingrush of accumulated freight
and at the increased rates. The
freig ght earnings for the first two weeks
of July will show great increase
over June, and the bills will quote
this increase as proof of large per
spective diyidends, and of great
speculative rise in prices. The fool
ish ones will buy at the top figures,
and then, when the spasmodic pres
sure of freight has passed, they will
W ,sh they hadn't. The coming sea
son will be Que of sensational reports
and desperate ventures, aud the man
who 10 fieeced at faro or poker, will
not be the only one who will wish he
had stuck to the well beaten paths
which be understood, and left ski
ting" ballooning and "fyers" to those
better able to afford the sport.
