of this kind is Lord" Scully, of Ireland,
who owns (according to our laws) 80, 900
acres of farm lands in Illinois. These
lands he parcels out to small tenants,
who work like slaves for bare living,
and turn over the. bulk of their earnings
to their foreign landlord, his income
from that source being 5000, 200 per an
mum.
In 1860 the producers in the United
States owned 43 per cent. of the wealth.
in 1870, 36 per cent; i'll 1880, only 20 per
cent; in 1S90-don't mention it'll More
land isowned by railroad companies than
would make six states as large as Iowa.

of land have been given to railroad COM
panies, of which the Illinois Central got
a subsidy of $500, 900 aores.-New York

Well within the Law.

Wilton Kishu had been one of the di-
rectors of mining company, who had
used their power with reckless disregard
of right to squeeze a dime here and a
penny there from their employees. There
was no crime in that. If the men worked
for them, they must live in the compa-
ny's houses, buy at the company's stores,
abide by the company's terms and pay
the companys prices. This is the law of
dependency, the privilege of the en-
ployer, the fat Of Christian civilization
The company was administered on
strictly business principles, the most
profit for the least expenditure. 1t was
warned again and again that an old
working was insecure. But it would
take a great deal of money to make it
safe. 1t was nearly exhausted, and would
hardly pay to put in good condition. If
the miners did not choose to work there
they could go to some other mine. Of
course they would have to leave their
homes and take their chances.
One day there was a puff of white
smoke, followed by black dust, from the
pits mouth! There are forty-eight min
ers entombed under a brown hilltop,
which rises bleak and bare above them
like an eternal appeal to the justice of
heaven. There was nothing unlawful
about that though. However, Wilton
Kishu never liked to travel that way
afterwarl. He urged hberality to the
bereaved, and induced the company to
give each widow $500 and years lease
of her house, on condition that suit was
not brought for damages. This was
good business, 1t would have taken
much more to put the mine in order,
and the profit on a months labor of the
husbands would pay the gratuity to the
widows. That was business-lawful
business-joined with Christian charity.
