BILE 10 get rich. "Give us thl
day ali increase of income" is The
American version of The Lord
Prayer, and down where vas
multitudes of our people live
there is no light but that whlcl
is made bystallow candles ant
lard oil and petroleum. Matthew
Arnold's criticism Oh Chicago
was that il is loo beastly pros
perous."
Mr.. Webster said. "If in oul
haste 10 be rich and mighty. We
outrun our literary and religion:
institu iDns, they will never
overtake u.s." In any land sc
given 10 the Inoney-makine
idea there is constant danger
that the moral forces which alone
are competent 10 give stability
to the government, may be over
shadowed, and tins result we
have seen only a few years ago.
Only a few years ago thirteen OF
the New York aldermen sold
their votes TO a great moneyed
corporation for twenty two thous-
and dollars each. The use of
corruption funds. for carrying
elections and influencing legisla-
tion are facts which no we'll in
formed person questions today.
The injustice which individuals
and sometimes whole communi-
ties suffer at the hands of power
full corporations and trusts are
now crying to heaven FOR re-
dress, and it seems that they will
never secure justice until some
genius shall invent. a gallows
large enough 10 hang corpora

Upon the perplexing questions
between capital and labor there
is.no time TO enter this morning,
but let me say that the one om.-
DANCE: in the whole
Is the danger of forgetting
The Golden Rule. The simple
teachings OF the New Testament
would be worth more in this cri-
SIS than a thousand congressional

Another object Of idolatrous
generation in this country is |
party. Is not a political party a
rood things 1t is a good servant
,ut a bad master. Political par
les are indispe nsable TO Dem
,cratic government, but the in
dependent voter is indispensable
o all good Democratic govern
nent. The adherence of good
nen to party name and organ
zxtion, even when that party
las departed from its character
stic principles, is a spectacle
which cannot be contemplated
With comfort on this Thanksgiv-
ug Day.
More than once in the history
f dominant parties have they
Ione violence to their loudest
Professions for the simple pur-
'ose of gaming a transient ad-
'lLtase over rival; and upright
nen. yea, Christian men, have
tapped their hands and chuck
ell over this clever stroke of dis
onesty and hypocracy. A few
ears ago when the Cinnamon
