THE CURE.

Rev. DIR. TNNAGE discussed the
trouble between labor and capital in his
sermon published i'm last Mondays
REci,rEE from the true point Of view.
lie showed that 10 is due TO the
avarice and selfShnes> of human ma
ture. the result Of which we see i'm the
present monopolization of wealth and
the oppression of the masses of the peo-
pie. I'm his vigorous style he thus pic
tured the situation;
The antagonistic forces have again and
again closed in upon each other. You may
pOOh-pOoh 10; YOU may say that this trouble,
ike an angry child. will cry itself TO sleep;
YOU may belittle 10 by calling 10 Fourierlsm,
or Socialism. or St SimOnlsm. or Mill
lism. or Communism, but that Will not
hinder the fact that il is the mighteSt, the
darkest. the most terrific threat of this
century Most of the attempts al pacihca-
ton have been dead failures, and monopoly
is more arrogant and the trades unions
more bitter "Givc US more wages, cry
the the employees you shall have less,
saw the capitalists Compel as TO do
fewer hours of toll In day You shall
toll more hours" say the others. Then,
under certain conditions, we viii not work
at all" say these. "rhen you shall
starve." say those, and the worKmen
gradually using up that which they &c
cumulated In better times, unless there
be some radical change, we shall have soon
i'm this country three million hungry men
and women Now, three million hungry
people cannot be kept quiet. All the en-
actments of legislation and all the cOnStaO-
ularies of the cities, and an the army and
navy of the United States cannot keep
three million hungry people quiet. what

labor be settled by human wisdom Never.
The brow Of the one becomes more rigid.
the fist OF the other more clnched.
But that which human wisdom cannot
achieve will be accomplished by CHRISTIAN
itv If il bee given full sway. You have
heard of medicines SO powerful that one
drop would stop "a disease and restore pa

of my text properly administered will stop
an these woes of society and give GONZALES

Whatsoever We would that men should do
10 YOU. do sc even so 90 them ! shall first
show YOU this morning how this cOntro-
verSy between monopoly and hard work
cannot be stopped. and then / viii show
YOU how this controversy Will be settled.
That DIR. TAINAGE is right no one
will question. That the frStapplicatiOn
Of his cure for the his that now aillict
us would be made through a more dem
ocratic administration of human govern
ment and a wider diffusion Of its bene-
fits is equally obvious. True. TO attack
the evil 40 its root we must have re-
course 90 religion, but in the meantime
what are We Co do? II is entirely with
in the power Of the people to compel a
return 20 the form of government which
our wise forefathcrs contemplated when
they founded this Republic, and which
the avarice and cunning Of the few have
almost succeeded in Subvcrting. IL Is
not possible % regcuate mankind in
day but it is possible TO compel return
TO the principles OF WASHINGTON and
JEFFERSON in our government which Is
the aim of true Democracy.
