THE LESSON IN 1T.

ISOLATION to know that there are after
all in it some good and wholesome les
sons which will prove beneficial and
60 far toward arousing the better and
law abiding citizens tie a realization OF
the dangers and poisOns which if left
unchecked must eventually result in
the overthrow of American freedom
and reduce the American nation to a
state of anarchy and poverty only ex.
ceeded by that which characterizes SC
many of the nations of the old world,
and it is to these lessons the people OF
America must turn their attention as
the only redeeming feature and rec
Ompense for the suicidal and destruc.
tive result which their neglect has
brought about. 1t is true their num-
Der is multitude ard their scope al
mcst limitless, but this only reveals
the vastness of the apathy and neglect
which has permitted the seed of dis
cord to find such widespread and deep
root in government supposed to be
the best the world has ever seen. In
single article the BAzoo can do no
more than enumerate a few of
the points which should he considered
and the lessons brought home, though
ii will hereafter fiom time to time
speak of them more length.
The first great lesson is that strikes
are invariably Improbable to all and
particularly to strikers and that some
means whereby they can be effectually
prevented is necessary.
SecOnd-That the interests Of labor
and capital arc mutual and insepera-
BILE, and conflict between the two is
destructive to every interest of the
human race, and furthermore, that
in every such conflict labor must in
the end be the greatest sufferer.
Third-That the indiscriminate and
immense immigration of foreigners,
filled with communistic and nihilistic
ideas of lawlesSness and force, is
dangerous in the extreme, and should
be limited and controlled.
Fourth-That the least license or
condoning of lawlessness is destruct-
i've and dangerous TO every interest,
and feeds flame that will soon go
beyond control.
Fifth-That great monopolies must
be avoided whenever not absolutely
indispensable, and when necessary,
they must be held under close restric-
tions.
Sixth-That the giant evil-usery
which has in the past been directly
responsible for the overthrow of every
government that has passed away,
has obtained so strong a hold as to
even menace the freedom of America,
ard should at once be placed under
the closest and strictest surveillance,
with a view to its final adjustment.
These and many other things which
Will naturally suggest themselves,
should receive the immediate and
careful study, not only Of our law
makers, but of every loyal citizen.
The Sedalia Democrat has a record
as being in favor of boycotting which
extends back some distance. In an
other column will be found an article
from that paper January IA, 1885.
OF course, people or papers that make
such records must stand by them,

1t is reported that the Knights of
Labor have an organization at Mont
rose numbering fifty-five members.
IF this be true, law sndiorder league
is needed there and Sedalia will help
to organize it.
