The Moral Import of the Farmers Al
lance.
The Rights of Labor.

New YORK, Dec. 7th, 1890.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., pastor OF
the Twenty-third street Baptist church,
was greeted this morning by the usual
crowded house in Association Hall.
The sermon was the beginning of
new series for December, on the sub
ject: "What is religion?" The SER
mon was preceded by the following re-
view of current events:
"The real sensation of the year 1890
is the advent of the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union. It is
no mushroom growth. It is here to
stay. It is the resistless movement of
millions under the expressions of GEN.
turies. It's motive power is social,
economic, religious and political. The
advent of those embattled hosts is the
most pregnant event OF this genera
tion. 1t is the beginning of
A REVOLUTION,
that will shake this continent and
move the world.
The first time they gathered around
the ballot box was the 4th day Of last
November. They polled between two
and three million votes, elected the
governors of three states, sent forty
men to congress and scared the life
out of hundreds they did not send.
What is
THE MORAL MEANING
of this great movement?
l. It is the protest of the patient
burden-bearers of the world, who have
toiled through weary years, struggling
beneath the wrongs of economic and
| political superstitions. In America
the farmers have literally become the
beasts of burden of the nation. Their
| business has been to feed over 65, ,OOO,-
| 600 people, together with the hosts OF
the old world, with the products OF the
years work, and then through the
1 winter exc out a miserable existence
wrestling with their
MORTGAGES, CYCLONES AND FLOODS.
While they are doing this, we laugh
and grow fat. dance and make merry
| in the city, and bet how much they
/ will make next year, buy and sell their
crops fifty times before they are plant.
ed and charge old "Hayseeds" with all
our losses
The question is whether these men
the freest of the free, the authors o.
this country's liberty, shall assert thell
rights and obtain justice, or degener
ate into the condition OF tenants ano
serfs. The conditions of labor in al
other industries have undergone mar
yelous development and change in the
past hundred years. The farmer
works under the same stern conditions
!. perishing in the midst of boundless
prosperity, for others. He has de
termined to effect q change in these
conditions and re-adjust himself
on a living basis to the new civiliza
tion.

My guitars music, SO clear and wild,
Has many a weary hour beguil'd;
Oft oft sit meath the starry night,
Der its 1.-THE chords my fingers run light,
As / list to its music sweet, and sad,
And wonder if hearts can e'er be glad.
Life, like dream, is miserably sweet;
We list to music, one moment feet,
We catch note of spherical strain,
Turn to list, it has vanished again.
Oft when alone, my soul seems to be
Filled with an exquisite melody,
Like wild sweet chant, it wings fight
Then suddenly, like an ocean lulled,
Or beauteous blossom by rude hands Guild
The sweet music is silent and hushed,

of corn, and several tons of hay, were
consumed. On account of the isola-
tion of the burning building, and by
the efforts of the fire companies and
others, the fire did not spread. The
building belonged to Capt. III. L. Gar
land, and was not insured. The cause
assigned by those present for the fire,
is spontaneous combustion. We do
not share in that belief The hay had
been there several months, and the
loft was quite shallow; the heating
process should have terminated some
time since.

During Christmas and New Years
time here everybody had plenty to eat
and enjoyment seemed to be general.
But in London particularly, though
distress prevails in all large cities dur
ing the winter season, there was a
large and unusual number of suicides
on the night of December 31st, caused
by poverty, cold and hunger, and the
imposibility of getting employment.
That will be the case in the more
northern sections of this country,
when dense population an4 the ac-
cumulation of nearly all the wealth in
the hands OF few, shall have reduced
the great mass of the people to hope
less poverty. That day, if possible to
prevent it, should never be allowed to
