and preached his first sermon at FELTON,

That's what a great many people have
thought about panies for long time and
they have said so; but the finaneiers and
the politicians have commended that panics
are inevitable, and proceed from causes
beyond control and must come about SO
often. Now, Mr.. Ciews lets the cat out
of the bag by announcing that these
panics which rob the masses of millions
of dollars are gotten up in and worked
from Wall street. How this statement
can be construed into an argument in
favor OF the existence of the Street may
not be plain to the general reader, but it
is, doubtless, clear enough to the imme-
date friends and associates of Mr.. Clews.
In further defense of the Street he says:
sit has always been ready to respond to
any call, public or private, where I'm
ancial or business problems were to be
solved and the financial health of the
nation preserved" And he might have
added that for this service it has always
charged handsome fee However, this
latter statement of Mr.. Clews is not
wholly true, else why were we compelled
to go to Europe for gold so recently.

Use aud Abuse Of Machinery

If 100 shoemakers, by hand
make 800 pairs per week, each be-
ing his own employer, then each re-
ceives for his labor three pairs of
shoes. That is just wages. If
machinery be added, counting the
machine makers as shoe makers,
and 5000 pairs be the product, then
each worker should receive 30 pairs
of shoes for his weeks share or
wage. Should the demand for
shoes be only the same Us before
the machines were used, then the
shoemakers would work only one
hour per day to supply the mar
ket and would receive just as much
for that one hour as they had for
merly received for ten hours, be-
cause they had supplied the same
goods to the users of shoes. This
would he exactly the result of Ia
bor-savlng machinery if the labor
ers Owned equally the machinery.
This would be the use of ma
chinery. This equal ownership of
machinery can only be had in just
one way: The people as a whole
shall own all machinery as a whole,
SO that no man or set of men can
monOpOlize it or any part of it.
To-day the ownership is private,
the men own neither tools nor ma
terial on which to work, and the
men who employ them have the
workers at their mercy. When
they make 5000 pairs of shoes they
get no more than when they made
800 pairs, and if the demand be
not increased the employer dis
charges the surplus labor and
works those retained ten hours,
paying only one hours wage for
it. This Is the abuse of machinery.
To-day, machinery enables men
ON an average to produce ten times
as much wealth for the full days
labor US they could do one hundred
years ago before machinery was SO
generally employed. Therefore it
follows they ought to be as able to
maintain their families as well on
one hours labor daily as their fore
fathers did on ten hours, or one
family to-day ought to be able to
keep ten families in the comforts
of a century ago. A heaven on
earth can be realized whenever the
laborer's vote the ownership of
land and machinery into their own
hands. When they are wise enough
to do it, they will be wise enough
to handle it.-Coming Nation.

A Tub TO the Whale.

We have repeatedly said that
this free silver, One-plank bastard
that is making SO much noise in
political circles is only scheme of
its traitOrous leaders to draw our
attention from the issue at stake.
We again repeat the charge, and
for proof call attention to the ut
terances Of Mr.. Sibley, the leader
of the movement, who, in an inter-
view with the Chicago Age Report
er, SAID:
If the Republicans will nomi-
nate Mr.. Cameron, Mr.. Teller or
any other free coinage man on a
free coinage platform, we will ac-
cept him and give him the benefit
of all our work in the campaign.
If the Democrats nominate a free
coinage man on a free coinage plat
form we will support him.
In Oter words, the American
bimetallic party proposes to catch
the disaffected in both the old par
ties, as we'll as the thOughtless
ones in the Populists ranks, and
turn them over to whichever of the
old parties that will put free silver
in their platform in 1896.
1t will be an easy task to put it
in either platform. The trouble
has always been, and will continue
to be, to hold them to their plat
form promises. With Democrats
and Republicans platforms are
made only to get in on; after that
they arc absolutely uselcss.-Mer-
curry.
