"A chimney in Middlesborough,
England, was lately taken down brick
by brick from the top downward. A
long chute, one-hali an inch longer and
wider than a brick in It's cross-sectional
dimensions, was first erected within
the flue. II was air-tight and rose from
an air-tight box placed at the bottom
Of the chimney. The bricks we're
dropped one by one through this chute,
and were cushioned by the air so that
none were broken or injured. From
time to time the box was opened and
the bricks that had accumulated were
removed.

LIFT THE CURTAIN.

Could we but lift the curtain and re. veal to the world the private opinions of the great body of this country, it would do more good in one week to right the wrongs that have been fastened upon us by a money oligarchy than all that has been written or said in the past ten years. It ls an actual fact that the great body of business men to-day are living from hand to mouth, in abiect fear of the money kings. For the busi- ness man to raise his voice against the legalized robbers of the land, is to bring down upon his unprotected head the whole horde of sharks that are silently but surely sapping the life-blood of busi- ness lmoney) by way of interest from the merchant, the manufacturer and the producer; and ninety nine out of every hundred business men know this to be the true condition of affairs to-day. But to proclaim it is to have the banks shut down on them and the puppies of the banks, the Capitalistic press, sit on them and hound them to their graves, There k not One-Quarter of the mer- chants and business men in any of our cities to-day but what, if forced to pay their bills in thirty days, would have t0 go into insolvency. The bankers and capitalists own them body and soul, and their interest money, like mustard plaster, never ceases to draw, but day and night it is pulling at the very vitals of business. The more it takes from the manufacturer, the merchant and the producer, the more valuable the remain ing dollars become, the more hours
 work 1t takes to get one, and the less of them the producer and consumer have to pay over the counters of business man and merchant. This every busi- Il 'sS man knows; but, as we said in the beginning, dare not lift his voice against the money kings for fear of financial rum. lie knows good wages tO the worklngmen means a brisk trade for himself and good profits; he knows, and sO dO the money changers, that brisk trade and good profits for few years would take him out of the clutches of the banks and money lenders. But while he k their slave he dare not strike
 for freedom, for fear of instant death, financially speaking, and so he lives on,
 hoping against fate, voting for q Contin- nation of this same class legislation, voting himself and children into pow erty and the poor house through lack of moral courage 60 declare himself a man, and abide the consequences. This is no fancy sketch, but a picture that, could we but lift the curtain, would be found glaring in all its hideousness ill the hearts of many thousands of brsi- ness men throughout this so-caIled pros porous country.-SaH Lake CHy Times,

SWEDEN.

Sweden is making hcadway in Socialism with very considerable success. Our friends there have four important papers. Even among the pcasantry socialist ideas are spreading rapidly, much more so than in any other European coun- try at the present time. The gov crnment begins to fear the growing movement; hence in Sweden, like elsewhere, they become maddcned and institute prosecutions by the score.
 The Socialists, however, do not seem to be much frightened by the action of the authorities, and they have convened in Stockholm a Con- gress of all their Swedish support CTS from fur and near, which wa held from the 10th to the !!2d os April. More than sixty socialist orf ganl2auons were represented at th- Congress, which was q very importe ant one.
