A CITY,s PROSPERITY.
DR.. Smiths Plan for Having ST.
Paul Rival Minneapolis.

DIR. Smith gave symposium last
night at the PEOPLES church on what
Constitutes City's Prosperity?' The
foundation of his remarks was the
aGathema OF the prophet, Woe to him
who builds city Oh iniQuty." He first
showed up the Injurious effects Of the
unequal distribution of wealth. Ii all
the earnings of the 10000, 900 people of
this land were deposited in a huge pile
at the end Of the year, and 5000 of the
60,0OO,0O0 carted away One-half of it,
fair representation OF the pres
ent condition of the people would
he made. His second point was the in
furious effect of unWise consumption Of
the product Of labor. The preparation
of an edition de luxe of Upper for the
millionaire made the cost to the poor
man of cheap edition of Shakespeare
SO much the dearer, as 1t by just SO
much engrossed the producing ability
OF the DO0kmakers.
The first great cities were military,
the second. political, and the foundation
OF our present cities consists of manu-
features and commerce. A combination
of natural advantages and the CEN
! tralizatlon of railroads has made
| st. Paul great commercial ecu
| ter. Certain men would have us
| believe that to close this city
i az ainst the prize fighter and gambler
and prostitute would impair its prosper
ity. But vice of all kinds is very costly,
j aud must be paid for by productive
labor. 10 keep the Sal0onkeeper and
his bartender in luxury requires the
labor of one or more producers, and
takes that much from the real assets OF
the city. If we say that such things
are necessary to pander to the beastll-
ness of humanity. that is one thing, but
when we say that they are necessary to
the commercial prosperity of com.
monwealth we assert what is the oppo-
site of the truth.
| Vice always is the most expensive at
tainment of a city. and when it becomes
| utterly vile it sinks beneath the burden
If the wholesaler thinks it necessary tt
take his country customer on rOunC
of midnight debauchery, the country
merchant has to pay that much extra
for his goods. No one is benefited
But" say some, sit we close these
places, people will go to Minneapoli!
for their pleasures, and thus mucl
money will be diverted from u.s." Well
| wish they would go there. Not tina
| wish unnecessary harm to our siste
!, city, but in such case our peop lie her,
can sell their goods cheaper, and w,
will get the trade of all the element
that go to build up a successful com
merce.
And when we get the reputation O
being clean city those people who ar
J the bone and sinew of prosperity viii
flock to us to spend their declining day
where they can have all they desire TO
their boys and girls, aud none of tn
undesirable things.

the attempt is made. People try to pay
the exorbitant tribute. They bind them
selves with contracts and mortgages,
and vainly hope in some way to find the
means to meet their obligations.
But the end must come. This con-
stantly increasing tribute 50 cuts down
the possible reward of industry that
men can't go on. When profits cease
industry must stop.
In the cities the building trades ara
first to be ruined by the high price of
lots. This is true of every great Dusi-
ness depression that has cursed the
world. We, do not fully appreciate the
Importance Of this. Next to furnishing
food. there is no other single industry
that employs so many men as the build
ing trades.
z Think of the effect of throwing two
OF three million men out of employment
because. lots have become so high priced
that the building trades cannot go Oh.
Let us trace these effects in closer de-
tail. These mechanics and laborers GU
of employment producing nothing,
getting no wages, are Immediately COM
PEELED to econoniZe in every detail of
their expenditures. Their former de-
mand for the products of the labor of
their fellow men is enormously reduced.
They eat less and cheaper food. They
do not buy the contemplated new suit,
or shoes. or overcoat. They move into
cheaper quarters. Ali the little luXuries
that made up part of each days happi-
ness are no longer possible. Thus
by this enforced economy the demand
for labor is diminished and more men
deprived of employment. These other
men must now begin practicing the
same rigid and unusual economy. This
again reduces demand, and more men
are added to the ranks of the unem-
plOyed. And so 1t goes on. Each man
thrown out of work helms throw out
another, until finally production comes
to a Standstill.
With half the people idle. with their
consuming capacity greatly diminished,
of course goods will be unsold on the
shelves; OF course the markets will be
glutted.
Now comes one wise (?) philosopher
and begins to proclaim ''overproduc-
tion," while another soberly advises
economy" 1.-THE working classes have
been living too eXiravagantly." The
it is not overproduction, but undercon-
sumption that ailS us?
Can't they see that we have had too
much economy already-that we have
pinched and squeezed and patched and
| darned, and worn old clothes, and lived
in two rooms, when we ought to have
been enjoying better things? Ana why
have we been forced 10 this unnatural
economy? Because we have been out
of work! And why have we been out
| of work? Because the price of lots and
| lands got So high that we could not pay
| the price and keep OIL at work; or, ii we
| did pay Ii, we had TO pinch on every
| thing else to make up for the excessive
! amount the land Spectator got.
| Here lies the one all-suificient cause

LAST SERMON,
Revivalist Hill Closes His Work
at Oxford Church.

Last evening Rev. j. Wesley Hill, D.
d. preached his final sermon of revi-
val series at the Oxford Nj. E. church.
He took for his text. But now we see
through a glass darkly. but then face to
face. Now we know in part, but then
shall we know even as we are known"
He said in part: "Our text is Paul's
climax thought in his iuimitable psalms
of praise-ChristIan love. He declares
that knowledge is fragmentary, love
ptete; theology partial, love perfect.
Wherever we go we come III con-

knowledge is impossible. We can

INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSIONS.
Written for the Globe.l
CHAPTER III.

HOW LAND SPECULATION DEsTRo Ys
INDUSTRY.
No one knows better than the specu-
lator how vitality necessary is land in
order that industry may go forward.
w hen land is cheap and easy to get.
then men can easily employ themselves.
Then business is prosperous. Here is
the opportunity for the spectators.
They observe all these things, and put
up the price of their land. They can do
this because they know that land must
be had at any price. So they ask all
they think they can get, and little
more, before they will let any one have
a piece of land to put home on, to
make farm OF, to build factory or
store on. to dig minerals out of, to cut
trees off OF, or to build railroads on to
carry things away from where they are
not needed to the places where they are
wanted.
The workers try to pay these unDatur-
ally high prices. but that only causes
the price of land to rise higher and
make it still harder for those engaged
In production. Every time new house
is built. up goes the price of land near
by. Every store, or mill, or factory;
every church, or school. OR library;
every bridge built, or street opened, or
sewer dug; every water main. or side
walk, or park-each and every one of
these things causes the price of land to
60 up, and makes it just so much harder
for those who must have laud to use or
else cease to work.
Outside the cities it Is just the same.
Every time new farmer settles OH a
quarter of wild land the adjacent quar-
tiers rise in value. Every mine opened
and successfully operated makes it
harder for the next miner to get land to
dig ore from. Every wharf built makes
the next wharf site higher priced.
Everywhere, in every industry. those
who would use the earth find it con-
stantly harder and harder to get. The
tribute that industry must pay to land
monopoly rises constantly higher and
higher.
All these facts are perfectly familiar
| to every one. Even the children in the
schools and the newsboys on the curb
stone understand il all. But we seem
| 10 forget that this booming OF land can.
| not 60 on forever.
The time must come when industry
| cannot pay these prices and have any
profit left. But land must be had, sc

In the issue of his representative

j. j. Gleason Discusses the Sub
Ject in Crusaders Hall.
The plan inaugurated by the Crusad-
ers' Total Abstinence society last fall,
of having discussed at every meeting
some important subJect-frequently
some phase of the temperance question
has been one of the most useful and
entertaining lines of work ever under
taken by any such society in this city.
The attraction yesterday afternoon was
an excellent paper upon the relations
existing between capital and labor. read
by j. j. Gleason. The particular labor
troubles now affecting the country were
not touched upon; the article treated of
the subject in general. Some of the
points emphasized were the unsound-
ness of the position taken by employers
that they have right to secure labor at
the lowest price possible, the necessity
for wider educational advantages for
laborers. the usefulness of arbitration
and the justice of cooperation. An in
terestiug discussion followed the read
ing of the paper.
