Rev. Enoch Brewer, one of our most
prosperous and deservedly popular citizens
and very prominent minister in the
TINKER Church. left on Monday for ar
extended trip to Illinois, Indiana and Kan
sas, in each Of which states he has man!
friends and relatives. Brother Brewer
will visit among his numerous friends, arc
will also hold a number Of meetings OF
this trip. No man is better fitted TO
evangelical work than is Rev. E. Brewer
and we look to hear of great good follow
ing his labors in Our sister states. Our
old friend j. H. Larkin. Esq. travelling
agent for Mcpherson College, will take
charge of Bro. Brewer on his arrival at
Lanark, H., and he could not have fallen
into better hands. No one within, our
knowledge is so we'll adapted to the work
of caring for others as is friend Larkin.
Nor has any other man better assistant
in the work than has he in his most esti-
mable and popular wife. fa.4..
Y our correspondent had the pleasure of
attending the last annual meeting of the
Thinkers at North Manchester, Ind. and
twas there he met Mr.. Larkin and wife
and experienced at their hands the most
hospitable treatment imaginable. Twas
most touching TO see in what high esteem
these two good people were held by the
great host gathered at the meeting. Every
one, nearly, seeIed to know them and
they were sought after by thousands for
all of whom they had hearty greeting.
We will have in a few months an oppor-
tunity of proving to these good people how
well we appreciate their goodness and
their hospitality, for the next annual
meeting of that church will take place
next summer in Rockingham, and "Old
Virginia" will be given a splendid oppor-
tunity to extend a welcome to the thou
sands on thousands who will attend on
that occasion. b.. odd. .ss ROVER.

DOS of "Iiberty and Beans"

Apropos of Liberty and Beans:
 Why interfere with the natural laws? Why not hug nature closer and be gov erned by unconscious natural laws and mere animal instincts? Why adopt artificial means of protection Clothing against natural forces and elements.
 What right have you to rob winter of its ice. preserve 1t by artificial means to be used in summer when 1t is out of season: Actually defying natural laws, as Tucker and other opponents of sub lime nature might consistently exclaim.

finally accepts the situation and closes the works: not cheerfully, but because he must, compelled by force of circumstances over which he has no control. This is so plain that even an ''antl-poyerty' man ought to see 1t.
 If the capitalist does not exploit the laborers why Is 1t that he fights so stubbornly against reducing the hours of labor: It certainly cannot be of any great concern to him to employ loo men at eight hours in- stead of eighty men at ten hours. The additional space and and tools required would be counterbalanced by the saving in fuel, light, etc. :; but the capitalist cannot be caught with this apparently economical proposition; not even when 1t IS agreed that the 100 men shall receive no more wages than was paid to the eighty. Such a concession must be forced from him. He does not even reconcile himself to the established fact if he can help it, as is proven by the master builders and packers of Chicago. The capitalists of Great Britain sacrificed much money and wit (other peoples to fight the ten hour bill, the alleged last (eleyenth) hour by which (they claimed) their profits resulted played very promi- nent role in that agitation; that is to say, the British manufacturer knew very well without having studied Marx that the surplus value which he poeketed was the result of forcing the workman to work beyond the time in which he had already produced the value commensurate with the wages received. And so 1t IS with our own American capitalist; he is also fully aware that reduc- ton in the hours of labor means dlmlnutlOn of profits: otherwise we would have the concession granted us long ago. The capitalist does not des.re the employment of every la borer, even though they should ere ate more surplus value for him; on the contrary, the capitalist prefers to have an army of unemployed within handy reach, because he Is thereby enabled to keep the employed in sub jection. The unemployed are the trump cards played against the de- mands of the employed. The gain to capital through pocketirg more surplus value, by reason of employ ing large numbers would be taken from it tenfold, because of the in- creased demands labor would be en- abled to obtain through the same, and the competition between capital ists would not alone not be lessened, but augmented. Hence their ina bility to add the increased cost of production to the cost of the con- modity to the consumer, thus placing the loss in the shape of smaller profits upon capitalists, and capitalists only; and well they know it. With this we have disposed of the Georgeian "Why," the trick question of the poor "anti-royerty" man.
