A Dcspicable Instance of Bryanite
Degradation.

y Reputation newspaper OF Memphis
thus enumerates and describes "A few of
the classes in the United States" against
which. it says, 1.-The masses" are arrayed in
this campaign:
THE Federal pensioners.
1.-THE ministers OF the Gospel,
"The capitalists.
"The bankers.
"The salaried men.
"The rich.

The capitalists" in this list include
every man who owns anything that has II

Every, wage Garner is also /" salaried
man" His wages are his salary, and, on
the average, that salary is as great as that
of ministers OF the Gospel" or the income
of professional men. If he is skilled
laborer, it is greater. The pay of wage
earners averages more than that Of the So
called class of "salaried men" in this list,
the clerks, and so forth. The bankers are few
proportionatey and actually. and a large
part of them are salaried men. Where they
are rich, they are rs much entitled to their
money rs if they had made it in any other
business. The banking business is legiti-
mate; it is honorable; and it is necessary
to civilization, to both the poor and the
rich, to all society.
The brokers' also, are few AS compared
with the whole number of the people, or even
those engaged in most other departments of
business activity. As whole, they have
hard scratching to get along. During re-
cent years, more especially, il has been
awfully hard scratching. Brokers do not
make the prices of anything, and are utterly
poweress to control the conditions in
fuencing prices, They are the slaves Of
those conditions. They cannot lead; they
can only follow.
1.-THE rich? Who is richs What are
riches How much must man have to be
rich, and how little must he have to be
poor? The truest riches are health and
vigor, a sound body, and contented spirit
The prayer for the British Queen is for
health, wealth, long life That is the order,
ssalth first. Why does not this Repudia-
tion newspaper kick against the order of
nature, of GOD Himself, and cry out against
the inequality which makes one man
strong and another weak, one feeble
in mind and body, and another en-
during and masterful? Why does it
not rebel because pestilence attacks one
household and leaves another unharmed ?
Because drought parches the fields in one
region, while rains make fertility in
anotherf Because the cyclones path is
through one mans property and not
anothcr's? Because ali epidemic destroys
the cattle in one district and leaves those
in another untouched? Because one man s
child dies in the bloom of youth and hope
fulness and anothers lives to be the support
OF the parents old age9
There is inequality for you; terrible, in
sxplicable inequality. BUTT is in the order
Of nature. and wild rebellion against it is
