DR.. GoTTHEILs IDEAS ON MR. GEORGE

HE SEES no DANGER or CONFLICT OF CLASSES
Is THIS Country.
special Thanksgiving Day service held at
Temple Emanu-E Ell yesterday morning. The Rev. Or.
Got:hel read a discourse False Alarms in our
Social and Political Life" Taking for his text Isaiah
XII, 10 to 10, he said il part:
There feeling we must all have before
prepared to pass day of real joy and thanks giving
and that is feeling of security. Without that
can enjoy blessing to the tul. no matter how CRATE
FIJI il might otherwise be. OF course do not mean
absolute security. Boast not of to morrow tor thou
knowest not what the day may bring forth And the
older we grow the less reliance in the stability
OF human conditions. But boasting and rational
enjoyment arc different things and a reasonable
security ought to satisfy any There be no
doubt that houses and lands and securities might
be swept from us without a moments warning. bnt
after we have taken all necessary and reasonable
precautions should rest satisfied and not worry
ourselves about trfes. And the present. state of our
Constitution, laws and social advancement ought to
satisfy any reasonable man OF his security But hers
are many who say that we are reclining IN fanci-d
security n sleepiny volcano which may burst
forth a any moment to enguf us.
:" On tie day alter the last Mayoray election
when the morning papers showed that George bad
secured 6S, 900 votes. many faces turned pale many
hands trembed, many thought seriously OF selling
their possessions and returning to Europe where
bayOnet and bullet are always ready 10 suppress any
SJcIais lc movement. Charleston not shaken
this by the bursting out OF the Labor volcano
But sensible Looked al 1t In this way George
polled a large vote. bnt II was due TO his personal
popularity. Remove him and Who could I'll his place.
Not Powderiy. Again George is poor man
nothing derogatory in that but that iact appealed
the sympathi of the masses. He advocated theory
pected to escape the disagrecsbe necessity OF paying
Few OF them took the trouble TO investigate his
theories nevertheless he the champion the poor
against the rich-and that enlisted their sympathy.
Identical n
French rcvolutionis who had struggled hard tor the
boon Of tree press, and whose feelings after
ward outraged to find that the muchdesircd free press
when acquired would not print his advertisement with
bcug paid for Again there is great gulf liked
between putting man in tho Mayors chair and intro
ducng his chaotic schemes into the Constitution.
Nevertheless. George has placed his finger on a
spot IN social economy, aud will DC forced
to give more and more attention t. tho welfare and
the hardshps Of our laboring classes Not that think
the laboring classes enemies 10 social system
- they are nothing OF the kind they have rs much
patriotism and common sense as any other class and
the they feel their power and resi- disabilities the
more patriotic will they grow. Now. on what common
ground will any such party combine What we'll
defined platform could they adopt Free trade
slavery prohibition, all subjects capable of being
reduced into distinct party lines who shall draw
a line about labor. Laborers found In the ranks
Of capitalists who work harder than any day laborer in
this city Every man Is laborer who does hot live
solely on interest Where does the laborer end and
the capitalist begin Any man who more than
he spends is q oapltalist La our savings banks mil
hons of dollars deposited to the credit Of our work
ing classes And the man no would seek To cap the
foundations which the savings banks rest is no
true friend to the workingman.

In country where here are no ciassesi 1t is but an
echo of the Old World where the nobility enjoy |
privileges and nmnnities deniel to other classes. |
Since the ABOLITION Of slavery in this country no legally
