tax, which is almost equally untrue.
Such a confusion OF thought reigns that
men who ought to know better dispute
the law Of supply and demand, and be-
lisVe that they have proved it a nonentity,
q mere dream Of mediaval econcm sta.
They forget that the whole world has
abandoned realities and is making the
demand for q mere fiction, wealth. That
is the thing, the subject Of demand now,
and since it can not in the very nature
Of things be universal, or even general,
the supply is very limited and the demand
worldwide and Unsuitable, and the old
irrefragible law does rule so that any
price in realities is given, whether it be
labor or honor, or love or higher things,
il there be higher, for that mere fiction
wealth. II the world would return to
the consideration of realities from this
fantastic dream, many questions would
be very easily settled, and political
economy, instead Of being puzzle and q
dismal science, would become plain to
all and very act Of worship in it's study
and practice.
The primary relations Of man are
threetold in their application; toward
God by obedience, toward fellow men by
love, toward the earth by labor; and it is
with the last OF these relations that we
have to do first The solution Of the
problem is forced upon us. II it's neces-
sity seems not instantly imperative, con-
slider your sons and daughters and cay
il for their sakes 1t were not well to
finally settle this thing. Every social
problem will near its solution once this
question Of work is properly dealt with.
/ do not care snap Of my fingers for
the distribution Of property; distribute
the labor. Give us all our share Of the
work with which God endowed man and
the world, and all other material things
will come near to arranging themselves.
That whole q lestion is stated for the
conservative in that word Of Carl Marx:
"The modern system of industry will not
work without some unemployed margin. !"
1t is not the modern 81 stem only, either,
but any system which proposes to pay
itself out OF it's own product and leave Q
balance to be called weslth-that is, to
lift itself from the earth by its boot
straps, or to accomplish the mechanical
Rbsurdity Of getting more power out Of q
machine than was applied to it, or to
subtract one from one and leave q
remainder greater than the subtra-
hend, or any other psrsdoxisl idiocy
depending upon the same lunar hypothe-
sis as the perpetual motion machine.
Carl Marx word is true. It is equally
true by the word of revelation, by the
word Of science as applied to the develop
ment of life, and by the verdict of OK.
perlence, that men can neither be happy
nor at rest if there is any unemployed
margin" There is your prob en-, or
rather your dilemma stated. There is q
certain relation o. man to the universe,
which finally considered is Gud. Modern
industry" says it shall be so. The AL
mighty, the laws Of naturS, which stretch
undisturbed in their continuity back Of
the abyss which preced,s life, and for.
ward of the other abyss which hides the
end of Its mortality, and the necessities
Of humanity say it shall be otherwise.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
Il has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you viii not

THAT REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Letter of Ex-Mayor Chris Green to w.

Letter of Ex-Mayor Chris Green to w.
+. Knox.
The following letter from ex-Mayor
Chris Green to w. +. Knox, candidate
for Mayor, explains itself:
SAN Francisco, October II, 1893.
Friend hnOT: Having heard from
friends in Sacramento that an unjust eff
fort was being made in certain quarters
to prejudice the workingmen against you
on account of a certain action taken by
the Board of City Trustees while you and
| were members of it, | wish to set you
right, and would like to disabuse the
minds OF those men who have been thus
deceived. L think the action referred to
was had at the time money was raised by
subscription in San Francisco to give
work to the unemployed in the park at
81 per day. We had at that time in the
street fund $1,000 that was available to
give employment. The board, having
only the best interest Of the parties inter
ested in mind, agreed to distribute that
money at the rate of 81 per day, and it
was so done. And L could assure the
workingmen of Sacramento that no
thought Of reduction of wages was con-
cerned, but the only thought was how to
do the best for the unemployed.
My experience in the board with YOU
was that you were always the friend of
the workingman. | remember you al
ways made out the claims for the men on
the streets, SO that every man got his
warrant and received his money from the
Treasurer. Neither you. nor anyone un-
der you, carried their money in bag or
handled it i'll any way. remember when
you were fighting night and day to keep
the water out of the city in the spring OF
1878, and to pump out what had got in,
there being no money in the Treasury,
you advanced it out of your own pock ct
to pay Tom Cotter and others work ing on
the pump. Hoping you may be elected,
I remain your friend. CHRIS GREEN.

a few days ago a common farm wagon
of the ''dead-ax" variety-that is. one
without springs of any sort to break the
jar caused by rough roads-left the citv
with load of men and women bent on a
transforming tour of the country towns.
The actors and actresses were seated fat

wagon was one trunk containing the

lighter than bottle of black ink.
When encountered by a aREcoRD-UN

outfit was picking its way out of town
through one Of the back alleys, the object
being apparently to avoid anything like
ostentatious display, and possibly to keep
out OF the way of constables and bill

Mrs. Lockett, who lives south of Per-

sensation she experienced yesterday at
finding herself face TO face with the body
of George Sandback, as it hung from a
windmill on her place and on the path
she was walking in.
Sandback, who had worked at various
places in the neighborhood for several
years, was employed by Mrs. Lockett
only a couple Of days before, and had
shown no signs of dependency and no
reason is known for the commission of
the act. 1t was, however, most deter
mined suicide, as when the unfortunate
man was found his legs were drawn up
in order to avoid their touching the
ground. One Of the Coroner's deputies
went out in the afternoon and brought
the body to the Morgue, where an inquest

4 Young Man Who Says He Paid $50
for Bit of Glass.
James Sharp yesterday swore out q
warrant for the arrest Of Walter Rarrio
on q charge of swiudling, but the matter
was compromised.
Sharp's story is that Barrio sold him for
$50 an alleged diamond pin, which it was
claimed had cost $3.50; that he aiterward
took it to a jeweler and the latter told
him that it was fair quality of glass,
and its value-chiehy on account of the
setting-was about 30 cents.
Then it was that Sharp swore to the
complaint against BarriO, but the latter
avoided arrest by paying him $40. It is
said the transaction grew out of a game
of cards.
