MONOPOLY HAS THE OLD PARTIES IN
HIS POCKETS.
DR.. Talmage, perhaps the most
distinguished and widely a d
preacher in the world says:
THE over-shadowing curse of America to-
day is monopoly. He puts his hand on
every bushel of wheat, every sack OF salt
and every ton of coal and not man, wo-
man or child in America but feels the touch
OF this moneyed despotism. His Sceptre Is
made out of the iron track Of railroadtng
and the wire of telegraphy. He proposes 10
nave every thing his own way for his own
advantage and the peoples robbery. He
stands in the Railroad Depot and puts into
his pocket each year $500, 100000 two hun

AntagOnism of Capital and Labor.
HoN. STEPHEN B. ELKINs SPEAKS.
Not long since the Hon. Stephen
b. Elkins made an able address be.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-10-10

fore the Alumni of his Alma
Mater, the University of Missouri.
His subject was"The Antagonism
of Capital and Labor" and his
carefully digested address was read
in manuscript by Mr.. Blaine and
MIR. Whitelaw Reid, and by them
endorsed. SO that what he said was
in fact the deliverance of perhaps
the ablest triumvirate of Republi.
can statesmen in the country.
Referring to the subject of mo.
nopolies and corrupt combinations,
growing out of the degradation of
the times, Mr.. Elkins boldly de-
clares:
"From the over capitalization of
corporations, the watering of stocks,
cornering of food products etc., we
are threatened with revolution"
And he further declares, "If there
is not fairer distribution of the
joint product of capital and labor
in this country, it will wreck our
social and financial system" And
he also has the honor and boldness
to affirm that, ANY active efforts
by those who would correct these
great evils and advance the gener-
al welfare of all the people will be
resisted, as have been all such re-
forms in the past"
He bravely asserts that rulers,
(party leaders in power) will not
risk their loss of power to advance
the general good that when such
eneficent advancement comes it
will come from party forced up
by the people themselves"
and that these people and the
leaders advocating the betterment
of human society will succeed,
though these leaders will be called
"visionaires and fanatics" as in the
past.
And he further declares the
great philosophical truth that this
grand achievement can only come
through the active work of the
moral forces.
And listen to another prophecy of

Cong ressman Butterworth in 6
recent speech:

II
Cong Butterworth in a
recent speech:
mo man upon this floor shall be before
me in condemnation OF these organizations.
1 do not hesitate for one moment to assert
that the most serious menace to republican
institutions in this country will be found in
the power and influence of aggregated capt.
tai and the pretentious influence of over
grown wealth and 1 am not alone on this
floor in this conviction that, unless they
are speedily throttled, they will have upon
the throat of the republic so firm grip that
nothing short of revolution will compel
them to to relax their hold. This is strong
language, but mean every word OF it.
Now, in the face of such declara-
tions from these leading Repub.
lican statesmen of America, need l
remind you Of the absurdity of ex-
pecting this grand work of reform
can be done by parties controlled
by the greatest Curse of modern
times, a curse declared by the N. Y.
Tribune to be more debasing and
degrading than Slavery Or Poly.

Senator CoIquIt's Testimony on
Political Corruption.
Senator Colquit, in the U. s. SEN
last March, said:
"When we consider the varied difficulties
and the concentrated effort to reform, the
direct force and bribery, the deception and
evasions getting possession of the Demo-
cratic ranks, the catch words and brides,
the purchase of the press, the means and
opportunities of deception and the appeals
to ignorance and prejudice, the wo nder is
that reforms should ever take place" sis
there no possibility" said he "of a combina-
ton of Virtue and Public Interest as
against Vice and Self-interest? People who
will not take the trouble and the risk in
volved in wrighting their wrongs are unfit
for freedom"
Summon to the stand also, Con.
gresham Breckenridge and Senator
Beck and let them testify of
Hobbies and MOmOpOlfes.
Mr.. Breckenridge, says:
"There is not law that gives protection
to any industry but what was engineered
by a private lobby. There is not provision
that has not some private interest behind 1t
and some paid advocate to see that 1t is not
disturbed. Legislatures have been bought,
Governors nominated and congressman
purchased to keep certain provisions in the
law"
Senator Beck sums it all up by
saying:
SIT is impossible 20 have an honest iegis.
lature, State or National, so long as repre-
rentatives are sent who owe their election
to those who are personally interested in
the great monied corporations and monop-
oiies."
But I will not take more time to

yict the almost countless combina'
tions and "trusts," like in nature

The miners who went up the Yukon
river, Alaska, this season, to make
their fortunes 10 the placer mines, APP
pear to have bad hard time of it
without getting much gold. Eighteen
of them arrived at this port on tile L.
S. steamer Rush, this week. The U.
S. steamer Tbetis found party of ~
miners at the mouth of the Yukon,
who had driffed down the river, and
had no other means of transportation
from that place. The vessel brought
them to Ounaaska, and the Rush
brought 10 from there. The others
will come down on the Thetis.
According t. the story of the re-
turned miners, the deep frozen ground
prevented prospecting or mining. Each
man, however, got 500 for six days
projecting, so there mnst have been
considerable gold there when that
much was obtained under the diff
culties mentioned. The men met
other miners who had travelled in other
parts of the country, but who were
discouraged by the prospects. Min

THE CoRTEz MINES SOLD.
A Company Organized In London 90
Work Them

The London Mining Journal of
September 10Th has the following re-
lat!ve to tue Cortez mines, (Iimlted.)
This company has been formed
with capital of 100000, in 81 shares.
10000 of which are now offered for
public subscription at par, to acquire
and continue to work as going con-
Germ the Cortez mines, situated in Eu-
reka county, Nevada. U. S. A. These
mines were discovered 10 1864 by Mr..
Wenban, the managing director of the
new company, who has resided on the
property ever since, having been en-
gagged in the development of the
mines. During this period, the returns,
1t Is stated, have amounted to some-
thing over 100000. The prospec-
tus states that the mines yield very
high grade of silver ore, which has
been averaging in the mill for some
time past 100ozs. to the ton. 1t is fur
ther stated that the ore worked during
the last twenty years has been taken
entirely from flats or deposits in the
limestone formation, but these are in
connection with a contact assure vein,
the ore lying between limestone and
porphyry. There is said to be large
amount of ore already in sight, and
the quantity exposed at present is
greater than any previous time. The
property ontains 80 claims, aud the
prospectus states it is, and has been
for the past two years, producing bull
lion of the value of 100000 month,
while the expenses are under $4,000
a month, showing a net profit of about
el15,000 per annum. The considera-
ton to be paid for the property is
100000, the entire amount being
payable in shares.

The Alta publishes the following IN
substance: Last Thursday the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company engaged
the services of Victon Hinston, a pro-
fessional diver, at $3.50 per day to go
down and examine the machinery of
the steamer City of Chester, which was
sunk in Golden Gate last August by a
collision with the Oceanic. On the
first day the diver did nothing but
locate the stranded vessel, which be
found in fifty tathams of water. On
Friday the man went down again, and
while looking into the Storage of the
vessel the first thing that met his gaze
was the form of man standing with
distorted countenance and his tongue
hanging from his mouth. The body
was swollen twice its natural size.
Going little further aft he saw ar
other victim of the wreck on his knees
grasping third man rounnd the
waist. The diver returned to the sur
face and reported his discovery, but
nothing could induce him to return to
the stranded vessel.
