les, &C., made by himself, take the
earliest opportunity of sending you
the following:

The Way it Looks to Me-.

Times fearfully portend 4 repetition
of the horrors of the French Reyolu-
ton in the new United States, seems
to be drifting in that iirection.--
The irrepressible conflict everywhere
going on between labor and money
portends no good to the people, or to
the stability of our institutions. To
produce the best state of organized
society there should be perfect har-
mony between labor and money,
neither trespasSing on the other
Without money in ample supply labor
will not be properly rewarded, or il
money is withheld from circulation
by the banks, which are always under
the control of the wealthy few, then
labor is in languishing state, and
something needs regulating, rs is
now the case. When capital segre-
gates, labor is sickly; as the bank
credits of the few enlarge, the debts
of the masses increase also: but when
the government recognizes NO priv
iieges, why do the toiiing masses grow
poorer, and what is more strange why
do the non-producers grow wealthier.
Such can only be the case where
favoritism is shown by legislation
to those who steal from the necessities
of the people by partial enactment.
But what is most despicable is that
the robbed unboIt their treasures and
invite the robbers to their homes.
This is how it is effected: AT the
headquarters of the steal-by-Iaw-camp
great jobs are concOcted, or protec-
tive tariffs set in motion or pension
grabbery proposed, or cphemeral pa
triotism inspired by proposing to
build some commander q monument,
or sophistical peans to free education
are proposed. Thus the traps are set
and voters are rallied, by all the arts
of humbuggery that professional po-
litical frauds can invent, running
well the pronencss to which voters are
caught by appeals to delusive preju-
dices. So by deception power over
a mans volition is obtained, and next
over his subsistence, which is the con-
summation first sought to be achieved,
and the people we usually elect to Of
flee are the machines used by the
money power to carry to their Golfers
the money which ought to remain in
the pockets of the Iaborcr, or to be
expended by his family for ne
cessaries and comforts which under
our great wrongs are enjoyed by the
wealthy trickster and his sporting
family. Isn't it voluntary slavery?
We used to have Involuntary slavery;
it cost something TO get rid of it, and
is still costing millions to the taxed
consumer, but the day is fastening,
too rapidly perhaps, when the same
thing will be re-enacted to get rid Of
the voluntary slavery, which came in
at the same door which carried the
other slavery out. One thing only
may check American downfall, and
that is. Independent Democratic
voting. y. NJ. FIRoR.

Home and Mother.

My boy, have you ever thought that
at no distant day you will be left alone
in this world? Has the thought ever
occurred to you that your dear old
father and mother will not always be
with you? Have you ever realized that
they are getting along in years and that
ere long they will be called from this
world to brighter and better home
in heaven? But you have been care
less, thoughtless and waywaId these
many years. You do not seem to re-
alize the meaning of that one word,
home. 1t is the grandest and noblest
word that was ever uttered by mortal
man; you do not appreciate that never
ceasing comfort, the splendor and pro-
found enjoyment of home which is
envled by thousands and thousands of
boys who have been left fatherless and
motherless, which you are enjoying
daily and still you hardly know it. You
are never satisfied with anything at
home; you are continually finding fault
and too often speak words, in a mo-
ment of angry passion, that cut your
poor old mothers heart deep, very
deep, and which are " by day eating
away her very life. a me, as we said
before and will say it again, is the
noblest and grandest word that was
ever spoken by man, but what is home
without mothers If it was not for your
dear old mother who is always trying
to have everything SO as to please you,
who is willing at all times to do any
thing and everything, as only fond
and loving mother can do. to make
you happy and comfortable, would that
place you call home seem like homes
No, my boy, never. 1t is that dear old
mother that makes home; it is that dear
old mother at home that makes home
the grandest and noblest place in this
world. But, my boy, the time is com
ing when you will have no home; the
time is coming when you will have no
mother, and then, and not until then
will you fully rralize the meaning of
those two words, home and mother
How beautiful they sound. But the
time is soon coming when she win be
called to join the angles in heaven, and
then oh, how you will miss your dear
old mother at home.
No, my boy, you can never do enough
in this world to repay your dear old
mother for the many deeds of loving
kindness you owe her. But you can,
before the time which is fast approach
ing, comes when she will be laid to rest
in the silent tomb, make her last days
in this world pleasant and cheerful.
lit is the last time you will have an OPP
portunity to do her an act of loving
kindness which she 50 much deserves,
and for her sake do not neglect to care
gently for your dear old mother in her
aged and declining years.
