Thousands think If a mans intellect is edu-
Gated, he is an educated man; they loose sight
of his moral training and heart culture. The

The soul must govern the mind or it will rush

The secret of all crime is the failure to reoog-

higher attainment than education. That higher
power is soul and that higher attainment is

Add TO this theory. regarding labor as COM

The DISPRo3ORTIoNATE DISTRIBUTION OF THE
CoUNTRY's WEALTH,
and you will see another danger. Between 1850
and iSS0 the wealth OF the whole country in
creased 40 per cent, while the working classes
were worse OF IN 1881 than in ls6J, because
prices on the necessares OF life had increa ed
forty per cent. while wages had only incre ased
thirty-one per cent
In 1866. the value-o manufae ured goods pro-
duced in this county was eighteen huudred
mi!lioas of dollars and in 1889 it was ffy-thTee
hundred millioDS-amost tnree times a. mucn.
This was the pile to be divided The number
Of persons among whom it was to be d.
vided has grown about forty per cent
not half as fast as the pile has grown Now
when the working classes come up to get their
share OF the lie, they complain and rebel.
What is the matter with you? asks the man
who divides the pile; are you not getting as
much as you ever got? Perhaps we are. is the
answer but that pile has increased very much
by our labor; it is almost three times as la-ge
as 1t was twenty years ago, and IL seems to

read In the newspapers such statements as
this: The profits OF the Wall street kings this
year were enormous. 1t is estimated hat one
man made ten and ano her twenty and another
thirty millions. We cannot see why
these men should have so much
of that pile and we so little"

Twenty years ago few cities could boast of q

buy Utah at its tax book value while we can
name as many millions who do not get fair
days wages for a fair days work.
Millions are made to-day by the arbitrary

working classes are growing poorer, and the
