Tor MS brother and God take us all, we
have every man for himself and the,
devil take the hindmost.
Take away these fundamental laws
of Justice and what more natural than
the big fish shall eat up the little fisb
1t is only by asserting the brotherhood
OF man, which rests upon the father
hood of God, that the workingman has
any standing in this world. In behalf
Of the toiler and the weak and the op-
pressed, I am here to assert these fun
damental truths which are based on
revealed religion.
1t Is only century after the begin
ming of cur country in which these
great principles were enunciated that
weind ourselves breaking the shackles
of 1000, 600 chattel slaves. 1t was a
great honor and credit to us that we
did break the chains of these slaves,
although we were long in doing it. But
there is another form of slavery which
is more CALLING than the bungling own
ership of the human being as chatteI
1t is industrial slavery, that kind of
slavery that holds the toiIing masses
down to a mere pittance which will
barely keep body and soul together.
What can we mean by the pursuit Of
happiness which is guaranteed by our
Constitution if it does not mean the
freedom of labor, to seek the higher
life which labor should make possible.
But as long as we are composed of
bodies as well as souls, as long as We
need elbow room in this world, it fol
lows that We must have equal right to
those natural boons, the air, the sun
light-in word the natural fountains
which God created as his store house
of nature for the human race.
The Peoples party in it's platform
declares against the giving away of
these natural resources to any man un-
less he makes an adequate return for
the privileges he enjoys. This is the
doctrine Of the single tax as senunciated
by that courageous man, Henry
George. Human society, evil govern
ment, the power to direct, to build up,
the power of law to protect the rights
and liberties of all, come from God
The immediate deduction from these
principles is that all law must be from,
of. and by the people for the good 81
the people, who are Gods creatures.
The preacher then went on to show
how every form of labor engaged in by
the different classes was dependent on
every other form of labor. The man
who picked tea in China in a sense
mined coal in Pennsylvania when he
exchanged his tea for coal.

The indications are that the flow of
breadstuffs from the Northwest to the
South will soon be a thing of the past.
Every year there is an increased acre
age of grain in the South, and this year
the corn crop was unusually fine. In
deed, corn is now being sold in Ala
bama for consumption in Illinois. Not
long since, at Decatur, Ala, 80, ,000
bushels of corn, raised in that State,
were sold for shipment to Illinois, the
price being 45 cents per bushel. -
