The Empty Nest.
IiIy III. Miller IN our Latte Ones.

Emiy H. Milier n, OWf LtNte Ones.
We found it under the apple tree,
Torn from the bouglI where it used to
swing,
Softly rocking its babies three,
Nestled under the molher'S wing.
This Is a leaf all shrivelled and dry,
That once was a canopy overhead;
Doesn't it almost make you cry
TO look at the poor little empty bed?
All the brides have flown away;
Birds must fly or they wouldn't have
wings;
Don't you hope they'll come back some
day 4?
Nests without brides are lonesome things.
Deep in the mothers listening heart
Drops the prattle with sudden sting,
For lips may quver and tears may start;
But birds must fly, or they wouldn't have
wings.

DENVER, August l4.-If it is true that
wealth has increased tn rec times faster
than the population during the last
thirty-six years, why have not the poor
received their fair share of this prosper
ity? Because of those great engines of
fraud and heecing created, permitted,
fostered and sustained by law and privi-
lege to enrich corporations.
The managers of our railroad, tele-
graph and other companies are per-
mitted by law to water their stock until
the legitimate business of these cOmpa-
MES will not pay the interest upon the
bonds and STOCK, without at the same
time reducing the pay of the working
men and discharging thei labor, the
natural result of which is rolling an d
other st ock run down, road led gets in
bad order, so that accidents multiply,
expt nses increase, and this necessltates
their subsidizing the press to hide their
crime, retaining the officers of Justice
and the law courts in their favor, to as
sist them the better to obstruCt justice
and help them to fleece the people.
Then machinery has increased in the
above period until Its productive power
in England and America alone is equal
to the power of I,OOO,O0O,0O0 of men.
What part of the profits of this ma
chinery have the workers rece. we'd ?
Only bare living while producing the
machinery. So that to-day 7,50O,OO
men can low accomplish as much in
six months as 100 years ago would have
required the working fo.ce of the world
one year to accomplish.
Again | ask what part of the profits OF
this immense saving have fallen to the
share of the workers? when 1t requires
less than one-haIf of the manual labor
that was needed in 1866 to procure an
equal amount of subsistence. The nat
ural result has been that all the vas,
savings brought about by this labor
saving machinery has gone into the
pockets of the men who owned the ma
chiuery, as witness the savings Of the
last thirty-four Years-$43, ,2240, 900 ,0O0.-
While our 2,OOO,OO0 idle workmen art
trsmping the country seeking employ
ment and finding none, and their pool
families are crying to the Great Father
"Giye us this day our daily bread" anc
crying in vain while the workers are
producing s., 100000 of surplus wealth
every day, between sunrise and sunset
going as it always has done into the
pockets of the idlers and drones.

the divinely appointed channel for the
riehting of the wrongs under which hu-
manity suffers. Is not this channel
clogged up with the dregs and excres-
cence of mammon, 30 that no blessing
can find its way through to humanity z
Has not the church taken part in the
worship of mammon so long that such
foundation truths of the kingdom of
heaven as "Love thv neighbor as thy
self" do unto others as ye would they
should do unto you" Thou shalt not
lend on usury to thy poor brother" have
been lost sight of until the Socialists and
Knights of Labor had made them the
chief stone of the cornerP The church
has been preaching smooth things to
the money power and urging the spirit
of contentment and the promise of
future rewards to the poor, while the
Shylocks have captured the earth and
all that is therein, the sea and the
things that therein are, both in law and
in fact, and left the workers poor indeed.
