The Old Greenback Scheme.

In these days of growing agricultural
distress and labor discomfort some of
the old Greenba OK schemers are attempt
ing to revive their party upon its an
tiquated lines. They have no conception
of the progress of ideas since 1878 and
imagine that they can enlist the organ
lied labor of cities in the support of a
rickety machine, to be worked by wind
for the benefit of backwoods politicians.
To letter received by Robert, Blissert
from j. w. Rankin, of Texas, request
ing his aid in the organization of such a
machine in this city, the following ap-
propriate reply was made:
Grosbeck, Texas. j. d. RANKIN.
Dear Sir:-I have received your letter
of the Goth instant, together with enclo-
sures. have read one and all, and must
frankly tell you am surprised beyond
measure at the crudeness, superficiality
and allow me to say it without mean
ing to be acknowledgements they
reveal.
The social or labor movement is
broader, sir, than the greenback ques-
ton. You show sense when you repu-
date Georgelsm and Anarchlsm Sup
posing you understand what those terms
mean. But neither is worse than your
silly, shilly shally, greenback plaster.
You grant the existence of suffering.
Your greenback panacea is mere quack-
cry. Years, centuries, ago the Ptolo-
maic system of astronomy too was con.
sidered all right. But no one would, to-
day, hold to that system. / should think
that you would have learned enough to
know that your palliative is to the pre-.
sent wants what the old PtoIomaic sys-
tenn of astronomy is to the present one
of Kepler, Copernicus and Herschel
No, sir will have none of your silly
shilly -shally, antiquated, insffici Mt
panacea or plaster-on-a-sor plan. Nc

SQUIRE HARRY.

PETER.-How is it, john, as rule
work harder than you and my work is
certainly as necessary, if not more so,
than yours; my needs are also as great
as yours and yet do not get one-half
the pay for my services that you do for
yours?
JoHN.-Why, Peter, you see mine is
what is called "skilled labor; if you
had more skill you would get more
money.
PETER. And not work half as hard
for it as do at present?
JoHN.-That's SO. Don't you see that
light work is generally the way that
nature rewards extra skill?
PETER.-Yes; and there's another
reward she gives to skill, that you
haven't mentioned.
JoHN.-What is that?
PETER.-Well, l was hoeing corn in
our ten acre lot yesterday, and when /
had finished it there wasn't much to
look at, though l had worked faithfully
there the past two days.
JoHN.-What of that?
PETER.-Well, l thought hard OF it
last night when l passed that church
where you were at work. The doors of
it looked so blamed nice that you were
granting. | thought, if | had done
them, should never pass them without
looking at them and rejoicing at the
sight of them.
JoHN.-Well, they do look nice, that's
fact; and it always gives a skilled
workman pleasure to look on his work,
especially if it's right well done.
PETER.-But, John, you haven't an
swered my question. want to know
why should you get more money for
your work than do for mine?
JOHN.-Well, one reason is, because
there's more people that can hoe corn
than there are that can grain doors.
But here comes Squire Harry, let's ask
him about it. Enter SQUIRE HARRY.
PETER.-Squire, John and have been
having talk about money matters. !
want to know why be should get more
money for his work than do for mine
SQUIRE HARRY. oh, pshaw, that's
easily settled. Because he has more
skill than you have.
JoHN.-You think that's square, don't
you, Squire?
SQUIRE HARRY.-Certainly / do. Sup
pose l make 800 where you make
one You have turned your attention
to granting doors; have used my abil-
tiles in studying how to manipulate
money. Of course think skill ought to
have extra pay. It's not right that all
kinds of work should be on dead level
as regards that; if they were, shouldn't
get more money than you do. You
keep your price up over Peter, and I'll
keep mine up over you.

The Church and Labor.
On Tuesday, at Hull, was discussed the
church's attitude to labor and strikes.
The Rev. Prebendary Harry Jones
opened the discussion. He said he tool,
a strike to mean demand by worlmen
for due share Of what they enabled
masters to earn. Those who represented
capital and labor were inseparable in
this matter; together they produced and
used certain results, and the question
between them was how they should be
fairly divided. It had no business to
offer, to call or to accept the office of
judge in the settlement of money dis
putes. Moreover, the church was hard
ly qualified to pass an acceptable SEN
tence in SO complicated a matter as
labor dispute.
Though churchmen earnestly advised
arbitration by trustworthy experts they
would shrink from speaking positively
about concerns which involved almost
as much special knowledge as the inter-
probation of a rubric. The craving for
excessive gain and the treating of men
as if they were mere money making ma
chimes kindled strikes. Strikes were too
often made results of union, yet they in
Dictated combined and growing pur-
pose not to ask favors, but to see that
such as are in need and necessity have
right, and tho church could not deny
the justice of this aim. Trades unions
all proclaimed the desire of whole class
to rise from degradation, and to claim
both due share in productive business
and social position from which mere
patronage should he eliminated. Lon

Has IL TO BE Paid For?

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
/ have just been reading an interest
ing account of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association in Washington, ID. c.,
their numbers, increase, and active
work. and also their numbers in the
United States and the large amount of
property which they own, amounting 10
more than so, 900. 900. This brought
to my mind the circumstance that some
years ago one in whom | was particular
ly interested was residing in a southern
city, whose church relations were not
altogether pleasant, and who yearned
after Christian co operation and SYM
pathy. L wrote him to become a mem
Der OF the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION. In reply he said he would
like very much to do so, but that it
would cost him $40 year to become q
member and enjoy all the advantages
which we're offered in the association,
but that he had need of all the money
he could command to meet his neces-
sary expenses, and that consequently he
would be compelled to forego the plea
sure and advantages OF the Young
Mems Christian Association.
l am aware that it requires money to
carry on such an organization, but
ought not provision to be made by which
young men who are financially unable TO
pay the fees might still enjoy some of
the advantages which it affords? Now
in this l may be mistaken, and if so
shall be glad to be corrected, but if the
facts are as / have stated, then | desire
TO call the attention of the members OF
the association and ask them to make
provision for such cases. Il.

celled, either in Athens, when learning

memorable defence of Greece against
Philip or in that historic old city by
the 1iber, in the DAYS when the eloquent
thunders of Cicero's voice drove CGta
line out OF her gates with the brand of
traitor upon his brow or in the British
Parliament, to which the wealth OF
genius, the exhaustless stores OF erudi-
ton, and the classic fervid oratory de-
veloped and welded by Fox, Pitt,
Burke, and Sheridan attracted the atten
ton and challenged the admiration Of
the civilized world.
Endowed as was Mr.. Preston with
rare powers of intellect, thoroughly
versed and trained in the literature and
discipline Of the best schools and coll
leges, profoundly imbued with the
spirit and love OF liberty, and stimulated
by an ambition that knew no bounds
within the scope of truth and right, his
effulgence as sn orator and debater
would not have been eclipsed even had
he been an actor in the lasi-named
grand national arena. but would have
and frightened as a constant
and keen rivalry and attrition OF mind
with mind melted to loftier and nobler
effort.
