HOW TO GET RICH.
lBy Hon. Henry IL. Faxon.) }


starting out III life. Money rarely
sticks to a man who is constantly
lgrumbling about his 'hard lot.'
In all my experience in business
life have noticed that the indolent
are always finding fault with the
prosperity Of the Industrious
Among those who whine most
about the hardships Of laboring men
are often cheap grade OF barroom
loafers. They are the kind of men
who are perfectly satisfied to pay a
rumseller seventy-fve cents pint
for whisky which only costs him
fifteen cents, while they condemn
} the miller who charges them 50 per
, barrel of flour which costs him
$4.75, and shout, down with mo-
nopolyl" There is more noise and
brag in pint of whisky inside OF a
political wire-pulling hummer than
1 there is in barrel of flour inside
: two hundred honest men.
i In my career as a policeman L
e have frequently, while visiting sa-
D looms in search Of information,
c heard young men discussing with
: their boon companions the imagln-
ary wrongs which they had suffered
e at the hands of their employees
v They did not, evidently, take into
D consideration the fraud which they
: perpetrated by spending their time
!; from Saturday night to Sunday
|, night in debauchery, and then
g trying to work on Monday with
swollen eyes, parched lips, and diz-
+ Nv heads. These are the men who
n curse their "hard luck" and who
! clamor because the industrious be
Df come rich.
d Young men the things that coun
n in the great struggle for prosperit.
rs are the old-fashioned qualities o
honesty, sobriety, industry, econ
20 omy, and faithfulness. In the vas
, majority of cases the men who sue
: ceed are those who deserve success
!, while those who fail are lacking il
"A some essential qualification. DE
! pend upon it that every effect ha
40 its cause.
!, The saloon is the school OF poli'
ical debauchery, and it is agains
this debasing influence that all tru
temperance men should direct thel
u efforts. The rumseller, in hi
de u dive" forges the tools by whic
~ ~ he burglariously enters the happ
nc home Of the laboring man, an
pr steals the bread from the mouths
-. the family.
'cr Every dollar expended for liquol
Ne as a beverage comes out OF the lant
lord, grocer, baker, tailor, butche
Of and others who pursue an hone
at calling.
Every luxury enjoyed by the run
ID. seller and his family comes out
I'm those who patrenize his bar; henc
on while he takes his comfort nappir
'ut in his easy chair, or riding in h
he top buggy, drawn by a docks
10Y horse with gold-mounted harnes
his customers make music wi
80 their wood-saws, or trudge along
wn foot, vi h bare toes sticking out
,,,s their worn-out boots or shoes.
=, Men who have rented houses I
~ more than thirty years can ale
~ saw that three-fourths Of all loss
NE ne in rents during that period ha
- been due, directly or indirectly,
for ,toxicating liquors.
AL Rum is the cause OF eighty-fo
per cent. Of all crime, according
our eff lent Bureau Of Labor Stat
ons tics: vet many men do not belle
es. in "sumptuary laws" to use I
tn. Democratic stock phrase, and v
ma not aid in convictIng a rumsel
$ Is under any circumstance.
ere, Who can solve the problem W
ing men, having been piled with liqu
lme and robbed of every valuable tn
ifty possessed, will yet 60 into cou
ter; and perjure themselves to prot'
lral the scoundrels who have thus IN
treated them? For the same m.
,ara terious reason, upon election da..
lusc such depravcd beings will vote
v a ticket put into their hands by
,per same rumselling manipulators
eing politics.
+ Of Mark my words, the nation,
nal, town, the party, the society, !.
wing church, or the family which q
The not adopt temperance as one OF
N Of cardinal virtues, stands upon unc
nent tain ground. Sooner or later p'
ala peritv will vanish, goods will dis
the pear, money will fly away, and h
nild- Iiness will give place to mise
rical glory to ruin. Young man, wo
