have. to be drawn through the mud.
Merchants offer their warm clothing "at
cost" and yet thousands of halfclothed
wretches shiver with cold. 1t is so in
every business.
Now, as labor creates everything we
need, why should there ever be any un-
employed labor? Every idle day is just
so much wasted wealth. But when a
man can get no work he has no wages,
and no wages means no>clothes or neces-
saries. Men sink into pauperism while
their bones and muscles are filed with
the elements Of wealth They can not
employ themselves and no one desires
to employ them, because there is no "de-
mand" for their products.
The natural demand for things is now
governed by an artificial demand, and
this artificial demand can not be con-
troIIed under our present industrial
system. What is needed is union of
capital and labor in some form of equita-
bic partnership universally, in all occu-
cupations, governed by general rules as
to hours and wages. Such an organiza-
ton Of society would insure work and
wages under all circumstances, for pro-
lection and distribution could be efici-
GENTLY controlled, and wealth pour in
upon us in unlimited quantities.
Our class divisions, created with the
profit for some and the work for others,
have generated miIlonaires. The more
they get the more they want. They
combine together in corporations, and
fleece all classes, and all these burdens
ultimately react on labor, for labor is the
only power that repairs the wear and
tear Of society.
Not content with what may be called
primary profits, these corporations exact
a secondary profit by Investing" their
profits. dollar by dollar and then getting
a profit on their investments. Mind,
these investments create not a penny Of
wealth for they, and all else, come from
labor, and the burden on labor grows
heavier year by year. If, to-day, We
have productive capital worth a thousand
millions, it all draws interest on profit.
If in twenty years this interest and profit
have swelled the capital to two thousand
millions, is it not plain that labor, and
labor alone, must pay twice as much as
it did on the one thousand millions?
Therefore, the more capitaIistic in
vestments the dre are, the harder must
labor work and the less will be its share.
no more atrocious robbery was ever de-
vised than interest on Investments
The richer the nation the poorer the
people, for the riches are not theirs.
Corporations and rings own and control
everything, while labor earns and pays
all interests and profits.
Here are facts to show why labor is
a little better than pauper. There is
no help except in industrial reconstruct
ton, and the abolition of all those cum
ming financial frauds that exact some
thing for nothing. No use to look to
politics so long as legislatures and con-
gress are filled with the interest and
profit cIasses.-J. F. Bray, in st. Louis

We hereby gratefully acknowledge a
donation of sack of nice onions from
Mrs. N. E. Clark, to be distributed among
the destitute. Are there not others, who
in looking over their cellars, larder, or
granaries, will remember the Door.
Though they are not numerous, still there
have been recent applications for aid that
we have been unable to supply. One
child came recently on a cold stormy day,
saying, my father can't get work, my
mother is sick in bed, and we have moth
ing in the house to eat but -four" An
other similar application last week. A
few other cases not willing to ask aid, but
struggling to get along as best they can;
if we had a basket of potatoes, piece of
meat, little milk, meal, flour, beans. or
other eatables, to quietly take to them, it
would be thankfully received. - -,

''smart," that we think it would be almost
wicked not to give it the benefit of the
TRANSCRIPT circulation. Our Austin
readers enjoy smart things, and they can
not fail to appreciate the following effort
in this direction from the Grand Meadow
Rccord-bad spelling and all:
We arc AT LAST able to authoritively
announce to our readers that the foolest
arrangements have been made in Austin,
for spreading desolation in the house
holds, and pain in the stomachs of the
entire land.
A syndicate has been formed there for
the purpose of preserving Sod Corn and
Navy Beans. To- render its success more
assured two newspapers have been subsi-
dised, and numerous small boys engaged
to collect second hand cans.
Four townships have been purchased
and will be AT ONCE broken up and plant
ed to Sod Corn and Navy Beans, and the
entire product of several outlying coun.
ties secured.
The entire stock advertised by us has
been purchased by the editor of the Echo
to raise the necessary wind to conduct
the enterprise. Limited space prevents
an extended notice of this stupendous en-
terprise, but we shall keep our readers
posted on all the points as they develope.

No bids refused.
The temperance lecture by Mrs.
Fixen, advertised to come off at the NJ. E.
church, Saturday night last, did not go.
Perhaps it we're best to let the very tenn
perate temperance men tell the story them
selves. Although the lecture was an
nounced from pulpit and bills scattered
all over our village, no one of said tenn
perance men had interest or gniIuntry
enough to meet the lady at the train, or
show her any hospitality whatever, and
when she was directed to one of the tenn
perance chiefs, she was offered no encour-
agement, merely stating he believed he
had heard that there was to be lecture,
but did not know; and when she wanted
conveyance to get to town where she
could get accommodation over Sunday,
refused to take her,-but they let her
leave on load of wood for some more
congenial place. 1t is reported that the
reason she was SO treated was because it
was announced on her bills there would
be collection taken up at the close of
the lecture. 1t is generally supposed that
the last clause was more than they could
stand. Mrs. Fixen is a very intelligent
appearing woman, and that she should be
so treated is sincerely regretted by all
except the so-ca!led temperance people of
the village. ...

adopt and put into practice the principle
of high license. Five years ago the first
city council fixed the license at $500 and
it has remained at that figure ever since
Its success has been so marked and pro.
nounced that we do not think one hun
bred votes could be cast for a reduction
in the entire city. We have ten saloons
which pay 50, 900 towards the support OF
the city. In the main they are orderly
and we'll conducted, aud attractions OF
the license law are not frequent.
1t isa matter of great surprise to us
that the system has not already spread
over the entire State, and we believe il
would were the matter thoroughly ex-
amined and discussed by the public
journals. The neighboring city of Aus
tin, for instance, collects, we believe, $3.50
from each saloon. An increase of 800
is talked of, but it is doubtful if it will be
done. They might just as well make il
$500, then the revenue from this source
would pay almost the entire expenses OF
their city government, besides making
their saloons more orderly and respectful
of the law. After once having tried it
the saloon keepers themselves will be
satisfied with it.
