| cause we UCiIcNC JuoC 40 hC uO0s,
but because the letter contains some
good points, and because we believe
in the full and free discussion of all
questions that interest the people:
EDITOR AGIrAToR Come, let us
reason together. Hoary frauds, an
cient nonsense and sacred humbugs
must give way to truth and human
progress, for such is the decree of
eternal law.
There never was any better gov
eminent than any other government,
though l am willing, anxious and
swift to admit that there have been
governments much worse than other
governments, owing to their greater
power for evil. A government
without any power is a very nice,
harmless sort of kitten, but when
it's teeth are cut and claws grown,
it is the same kind of cat that all
the rest are-destroying to exist
and existing 10 destroy. Govern
ment is a combination of men or
ganized to make robbery safe and
we'll, shall | say it respectable.
They all begin the same way and
end the same way, and, thus far, no
power has been found to prevent it.
Humanity has improved every
thing it has come in contact with
except church and state, they being
parasites, and serving no useful
purpose in the economy of nature.
No law was provided for their i'm
provement. They exist as do other
fungi, marring the beauties of earth
and destroying the happiness of
men.
Did not some one say there shall
be a new heaven and new earth ?
Well, l do hope if there is to be,
that some of the tomfooleries of the
old one will be left behind, just to
give humanity chance.
Why should we a master own,
Or, cringeing, bend the knee
To priestly dolt or kingly throne?
Our right 10 to be free.
Free to love and free to live
Is Natures perfect plan.
Justice to each other give
To woman same as man.
The dead have always ruled the
living
Through willy tricks of cunning
knaves.
Men their earnings have freely given
To pampered drones who made
them slaves.
But men at last have quit believing,
Brave women, too, demand to
know.
The time is past for gross deceiving.
Priests and tyrants both must go.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, l
have had my say. 1t is your putin.
Give it to me right in the neck. l
will never dodge blow or ask for
mercy; but mind your eye on the
return. WIN. j. TABER.
Essex, Iowa, Jan. 10, '94.
We cannot endorse all that Bro.
Taber has written above, because
we know there are priests, or

A Rev. MILBURN, who receives
$4,000 year as pastor of an Indian
apolis flock, says that wealth is not
created by labor, and that the pres
ent hard times are a heaven.sent
blessing to the poor" He'll is full
of better men than that Pecksniff,
and he and his congregation will
land there if he leads them long
enough. P. Mcdowell, in Labor
News.
1t just such reverend sycophants
as Rev .Milburn that drive the people
away from the churches. The rev.
erend coward certainly knew he
was lying when he said labor does
not create wealth. Upon such as
he we would freely shower such
"heaven-sent" blessings as an
empty pantry, freless house, hun
cry children and shivering body,
Just to teach him how little he knows
of real life. No doubt on each re-
turning Sabbath, with sanctimoni-
Gus air, he stands in the pulpit be-
fore his Indianapolis flock and salts
fies the old wethers of the flock with
such vapid platitudes as Labor does
not create wealth." His $4,000
salary has scared his soul, if he has
one, to all the finer feelings of human
ity 80 fully that he will, with his ga
cradotal robes upon him, lie like
devil to please the hundred and one
Dives who occupy the pews before
him and who have hold of his purse
strings. Well take Judas lscar.ot.

The financial Legislation for the
last thirty years has been nothing
but one long-drawn carninal of
crime, beginning with the exception
clause, passed February 25, 1862,
and eliminating with it's repeal bill
of August, 1898. In the interim
were enacted the banking law, the
contraction of currency, the Credit
strengthening act, the law of 1878,
and other minor acts, all of which
laid additional burdens upon the
people, and gave the money-chang-
ers power to exact tribute from
every man, woman and child that
eat their bread by the sweat of their
faces-impoverishing the mass and
heaping up colossal fortunes for the
few. With all this evidence before
them, there are yet millions who
thus earn their bread, sustaining
with their votes aud influence the
parties that have bound those bur-
dens upon them.

It's Human Nature.


A well dressed man got on the Sixth
avenue elevated the other day and
CROPPED along for strap, which his
companion finally placed in his hand.
As the former seemed quite uncertain
of his footing and was being partially
supported by the latter, people stared
at him rather hard under the impression
that he was intoxicated. He was not
only we'll dressed, but wore handsome
ring, heavy gold watch chain and other
jewelry. Passengers jostled him con-
siderably as he swayed from the strap,
and pretty soon it became evident to
those in the vicinity that instead of be-
ing intoxicated the man was blind. A
young lady made the discovery and i'm
mediately arose and motioned the blind
mans companion to take her seat.
When this had been communicated to
the blind man, the latter turned in the
direction of the lady and raised his
hat respectfully, but declined the prof
fered courtesy. His companion wins
pered something IN his ears-most like
~ that the lady was both young and
handsome-for the afflicted man began
pluming himself and finally turned by
changing hands on the strap SO that the
young lady might get more definite
view OF rather fine face. He straight
ened up his rings, settled his collar, felt
to ascertain whether his coat was but
toned and pulled down his cuffs-just
as vain man usually does when he
wants to make a good appearance.-

If this be Christian work."
at is fearfully trying to nerves and
brain, F." said young woman of one Of
Mankato's stores yesterday, "this be-
ing forced to look pleasant all day
long where one is ready to drop with
with fatigue and vexation."
There are thousands of such tired,
overworked women behind shop
counters and in offices. Nothing so
quickley brings nervous irritability
and exhaustion, and robs the body of
it's elasticity and health as trying to
smile and humor the countless pecu-
Iiarities of the throng of buyers.
In addition to the real fatigue from
long hours is added this ner-
vous fatigue which is still more
weary.
If statistics prove anything they
show surely Paine's celery compound
recruits the nervous energy of just
such weak and overtaxed women.
Headaches cease; the tired, ANXIOUS
expression leaves the face; neuralgia,
sure sign of ill-fed nerves, yanishes,
and white cheeks, white lips, white
blood gradually gain the color of
health if Paine's celery compound is
taken with reasonable regularity.
From the first taking of celery COM
pound feeling of hope and encour-
agement comes over the invalid. This
Is the universal testimony of thou
sands.
Paine's celery compound sends new,
pure blood into the heart and takes
away the weary feeling that comes
from debility.
The costliest condition for man
or woman in any station in life is
that of weakness and disease. Paine's
celery compound permanently cures
every kind of nervous disease. 1t
quickly furnishes new material to the
wornout nervous system. The forms
that nervous diseases take are legion:
Dyspepsia, sleeplessness, head
aches, neuralgia, heart trouble,
rheumatism, depression and nervous
prostration. Paine's celery COM
pound goes to the root of the trouble:
1t creates new appetite, and pre-
pares the digestive organs to build up
strong, healthy body.
Strange how people shut their eyes
to the plainest facts that live at ease
in the midst of evident danger. Scro-
fula, eczema, Jaundice, scalp and skin
diseases show as plain as sunlight a
vitiated state of the blood. Paine's
celery compound soon eliminates
every trace of impurity from the
blood.
Second, lasting health, with it's at
tendant Happiness, surely comes from
Paine's celery compound.
None are 900 old to be helped by
Paine's celery compound; none are too
young to be benefited.
Celery compound is the great
modern remedy for stomach, heart,
liver and kidneys. 1t makes pure,
vigorous blood and quiet, healthy
nerves, Try it,
