more genuine system Of business Integ-
rlty as vel as hOnest prosperity.
The waste Of energy and life, OF
worthy and reliable men, Is largely
caused by the smOcth-tOng9ed, sharp
and shresd eeeelVers-
Sharpness snc shrewdnesS do not
consututs nsaDhness, nor genuine busi-
ness ability. Financial or social sue
cesses are oy 10 means reliable indie&-
tors OF tue worth. but IN many IN
stances quite the reverse.
There IS no comfort. nor recompense
10 n4rd work, or honest industry,
80 long as Ihe pr7tender IN human
form, covered With unpaid for gar
meuts ana kept alive with unpaid Tor
food, living "a a pAlatlal residence,
built and pad Tor by the hard and hon
estly eaTaed money OF others, can
eyade the laws Of our country, without
redress On the part OF MS honest, duped
creditors.
The unhm ted and unbridled cor.
ruption now IN practice with our libearl
''free % al" credit system Will eyentu-
ally destroy the happiness OF every
home of our free and hberty-lovlng
people.
1ne daily outcry made agalnft comb
nation, purpOrted as drifting into
trusts, corners and agreements 10 regu-
/ late prices IN the interests OF the few
/ is 80 binding on the surface that the
I real mischief, resulting from the dis
/ honest unrestricted competition, is
/ entirely lost sight Of, especially by the
laboring class.
We hear people talk Of losses result
/ ing from wild speculation: we are horri
I fed at seeing men and women seated
/ IN expensive Carriages, riding after q
I stylish span of horses which do really
/ belong 10 those who are walking, and
/ by right entitled TO ride IN them, be
cause their honest earnings have pur
/ chased the same.
To ride IN a fine carriage after Q
handsome span of horses is all right
and 10 these pleasant luxurIes every
| man, woman and chld should b,
entitled without envy, providing tha
the occupants have come honestly by
them, which should give them the
right Of possession and lawful occupa
| ton.
People who have honestly earned
| their property should be encouraged il
| the full enjoyment of the same. A.
right-mlnded people Will rejoice with
them and send God-speed after then
instead of begrudglng or covetIng thel
well-earned possessions.
If our good people would recogniz
true worth, manly and womanly in
tegrity, and discourage lazi
ness and unrighteous gain:
where yer found, in our homes, societ
and churches, we would soon see les
suffering among the honest workin
poor. There would be more charit
among, and for the truly worthy rich
and by far q smaller number who hv
by their wits on the hard and homes
earnings of the better class Of human
ity,
Let Us encourage the right and di:
courage the wrong wherever found.
Earn your own money, but earn
honestly. AS go the boys pennies an
dimes, so very likely win 60 the man
dollars. Without having the spirit {
the miser, the person accustomed
save has more pleasure in laying u
for "rsiny days" and Old age than tn
spendthrlft can possibly realize.
Be in your place Of business punctu
ally at the appointed time, whatevt
be the hour, IN summer and IN winter
IN sunshine and IN rain.
LITERARY PABULUM.
