sirns in New York Streets.

In the days when this city was lighted by
gas the stranger within its gates could find
his way about the streets at night with
comparative ease, but now even the old
resident is often sorely puzzled to discover
his whereabouts. In any part it is difficult
to see the names and numbers on the lam
ternless lampposts, and in wide districts.
both on the east and the west side, there
are no signs at all to indicate the names of
the streets. Throughout the brown stone
districts there are signs on the lampposts.
but far from the abodes of wealth the au-
thorities do not seem to have deemed it
necessary when the lamps were removed to
give the people any means of distinguish
ing the streets. Unless thoroughly familiar
with the city no one travelling along Ave

find out what street he is at. This is a seri-

The Greatest Heresy.

Creeds no doubt must &c in religion as
in everything else where reasonable action
is demanded from Il reasonable being, but
the great danger in theology is the substi-
tuition of an intellectual for q moral assent,
and, again, the impairment attempt to
bring the attributes, qualities and opert-
tions of the Infinite under categories suit
able only for the measurement Of the finite.
Certain it is that of all the heresies that
have brought jar into the moral music of
the Christian church the greatest is the
conceit of self constituted orthodoxy
which damns modest brother for not be-
lieving what only the pride of an unchas-
tened intellect could have asserted.-Pro-

ranged that the bow shall be fully dis

WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1890

That the world is on the eve of q
great economic revolution is evident to
any one who is observant of the signs of
the times.
In Europe the recent Labor Congress,
under the patronage of the Emperor of
Germany, shows that royalty sees the
storm coming and would endeavor 10
break its force by concessions to the work.
ing classes. But something greater than
palliations must come. The whole false
fabric of society which assumes that one
portion is born to work 10 enrich another
portion who do not work, but live off of
others labor, must fall. Those who labor
must be secured in the possession of that
which their labor produces. In world
which produces SO beautifully, such a
thing as hunger should bea strange word,
and the starvation of any one willing to
work should be utterly beyond the imagi-
nation. A genuine civilization should
guarantee to every soul born into the
world enough to eat and clothing TO hide
nakedness. No soul able and willing 10
bear his or her share of the work of life,
should find it necessary TO worry the mind
as to where the means are TO come from to
sustain that life.
That system of affairs which permits
money TO be god, and surrenders all the
interests of man to its control which per-
niits it, untrammeled, to control all the
interests of society, should have an end.
Laws and public opinion should be so
moulded that vast accumulations of
wealth to the detriment of society should
be prevented that combinations TO en-
nance the price of the necessares of life
should result in social ostracism and a
residence in the work house, and every
effort be made to so control affairs as TO
distribute wealth equitably, so that the
nations may be kept from that state-the
sure precursor of downfall and destruc
tion-where the few roll 10 wealth and
boundless luxury, while the masses strug-
gle and starve.
The doctrine of the Survival OF the
fittest" as it is commonly accepted, is
brutal and heathenish. 1t simply means
that there is natural law that compels
the strong to crush the weak. Any man
who has the instincts of manhood should
be ashamed to advance that doctrine. The
time may yet come when the great mass
of men, instead Of striving to rise by pull
Ing others down, may rise and gloriously
rise, by lifting others up.
At any rate the world is moving ou, and
one can hear the mighty tread of adyanc-
ing forces which will overthrow and up
turn the false systems OF the present.
Hereafter the nations will not be so much
shaken by the march of mighty armies as
it will be by the mighty force of truth and
the power Of those who demand that those
who produce earth's blessings, shall have
full share in their enjoyment.

hand, and to the largest producers
on the other.
1t is, of course, impossible for the
manufacturer and the consumer to
come into contact and deal directly
with one another. In times gone by,
three sets of merchants stood between
the buyer and the maker. First
the importer or commission mer-
chant who sold to second-the job
Der or wholesale dealer, who in turn,
sold to third-the retail merchant.
This system of business caused three
profits to be placed on the goods be-
fore they reached the consumer.
Now all this is changed. One pro-
fit takes the place of three, and con-
sumner and maker come as nearly to-
gether as economic laws permit and
meet at our counters. This great
mart, with its system perfected by
years of experience, trial and growth,
is not only a necessity and a conve-
nience to the people, but is undoubt-
eddy money-saving organization on
an extensive scale. In no other way
can the vast and varied products of
the times be properly and economi-
cally distributed, except through
such an agency. The makers them
selves, each producing but one class
Of goods, and without any organiza-
ton for distribution, would be utter
ly unable to distribute their pro-
ducts, except at great disadvantage,
and at high prices to buyers, while
the latter, compelled to go to a hun
drcd sellers instead of one, would be
under even greater disadvantage,
both as to labor and in the payment
of the higher prices. A great re-
tail store then, is the outgrowth of a
legitimate demand, a necessity of
the times, and striking instance of
the economic power of systematic
organization. Under no other sys-
tenn would it be possible to distri-
butte the products of a thousand
makers SO economically and we'll to
the millions waiting to receive them;
which millions secure said products
at prices made inevitably moderate
by the competition of the makers at
our counters; and the cost of hand
ling the goods from producer to con-
sumner is scarcely appreciable to each
buyer, SO vast is the volume of bust
ness transacted by this great econom-
ical organization.
But to attain the highest degree of
efficiency, and to secure the best re-
suits to the public, the organization
must be on a scale sufficient to COM
mand the markets of the world in
its lines of business; to watch all
markets and to buy largely when
prices are low enough; to pay the
cash promptly for the entire product
of a mill, if necessary, which product
will be rapidly distributed among
thousands of buyers, each securing
Just the quantity desired-say one
yard or twenty-at the advantage
obtained by the great organization,
plus the one small profit which is
small indeed to each individual buy
er.
We venture to claim that, in the
vast and varied field of Dry Goods,
we have established and built up
just such an organization as is here
described; and it is our aim, not
alone to make money, but to trans
act business Oh such a scale in our
chosen line, that the greatest good
to the greatest number may result.
