OLD-TIME CALAMITY.

Address Of the New York WOrkMgmen April
3, 1887.
"Whenever a people find themselves
suffering under a weight of evils de-
structive not only of their happiness,
but to their dignity, and their virtues,
when those evils 60 on increasing from
year to year, with accelerating rapidity
and threaten soon to reach that point
at which peaceable endurance ceases to
be possible, it becomes their solemn
duty cody to search out the causes of
their suffering, to state those causes
with plainness, and to apply sufi-
cient and speedy remedy.
"The time has come when the friends
of natural right and the banded and
artful upholders of legalized crime
must meet in open conflict. We have
borne the load of constantly.accumu-
lating oppression till our powers of en-
durance are exhausted. And we have
now only to decide whether we will
manfully battle with our wrongs or
sink into the grave beneath their in
tolerable burden. The world has al
ways abounded with men who, rather
than toll to produce the wealth neces-
ssry to their subsistence, have con-
triVed to strip others of the fruits of
their labor, either by violence and
bloodshed, or by staggering preten.

others, OF that they have power to
carry out their ideas when they are
convinced.
Such are: Authors, if won over,
they write novel, short story, poem
or magazine article that will bring the
subject fsvorsbly to untold multitudes.
Preachers and lecturers, whose elo-
quence should be enlisted on our side.
Editors, who, if they belonged to us,
could not help weaving it uncon.
sciously into their daily work. Song
writers and mssical composers, who
can quickly popularize a subject.
Think of the vast influence of the
Msrseilles hymn. Artists, whose work
speaks to the eye. Political workers,
who shape the course of public affairs,
and vino can give their ideas the exc
cution of authority.
Now, go and get up the books on
your fayOrite reform that lie dormant
about the house and awaken in them
the breath of life. Send them on this
eonquering mission. Do not send out
any except thoroughly good and effec-
tive ones. Time is more valuable than
mediocre books. Send literature that
is of loving, suggestive and inspiring
nature, rather than that of a con.
troVersial, combatiye or preaching ma
ture. Send literature that is of a
primary or fundamental nature, rather
than that which has been developed
later in the course of reform. If pos
sible send out the book which first
arrested your own attention in the in
tereSt of this reform movement. That
is likely to be a very effective book.
The idea is that if you arouse a per-
sons feelings in the matter he will find
more advanced literature in the cause
himself. Love will always find the
way. This sometimes establishes COM
munication between members of such
lists on the subject of which the book
treats. When the law is enacted that
carries the desired reform into force,
those books that have gone around will
become historic relics. By doing this
work you are helping to make history.
This call working in wholesale way.
Persons can do this work who do not
possess the ability of the orator or poet, |
as we'll as those who regret that they
have but little time or money for re-
form work.

tiOn of the country. Our laws give
full scope to that great curse of the
human race formerly called 'usury OF
increase but now known as inter
est This mode of robbery, the nature
of which is such that it can only be
practiced against the poor and needy,
has proved the ruin of empires and
been denounced by the best and earliest
laWgiVers of mankind. The scriptures
anathematize it and Ezekiel classes the

out ChristendOm, not less criminal
than cannibalism. Yet has this sin
been tolerated to such an extent among
us that it has now little left but the
starved carcass of the laborer to feed
upon. The best mode of destroying
both the curse of bank paper and the
curse Of usury, would be for the gov
ernment to withdraw its countenance
and support from both-leaving credit
to stand solely on its own bottom,
without any attempt to strengthen or
maintain it by legislation. The creditor
has no natural right to call in the state
to enforce his contracts or collect debts
due him. And thus all debts would
become debts Of honor and the unduly
expanded credit system, which has
time and again collapsed and brought
thousands to ruin would be duly and
properly checked and restricted. It
would prevent the man Of doubtful
honesty whatever his wealth, from OBJ
tanning very extensive credit, and it
would enable the honest man, however
poor, to obtain all the credit he ought
to have for his own good. It would
cause dishonest act to blast its per-
petrator's credit and would thus work
to the benefit and advantage of So
ciety.
"Again, the practice of granting the
public lands to spectators, while
thousands of Gods children have not
where to lay their heads, is another of
the evils of the times. And the prac-
tice of stripping every poor mans child
of his natural, inalienable right to a
share of the bounties of our common
Father and thus compelling him to wear
out shortened and degraded exist
ence in the service Of capital and
master is a subject that should engage
the serious attention of republican
people.
However unpalatable the truth may
be to our national vanity, it is not the
less true that America is not a full.

their unclad feet upon the frozen
