People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1896-07-24

the one and the cold hearth and
empty dish Of the other. The Fac
tories went whirling into space-but
thro' the windows / could see the
/ pale, thin features OF the slaves who
toiled there;the mine opened one brief
moment and l could see the pitiful
ssrf If the Coal King; the Garrett
sped by, and it made the tears co ne
to see the shiverlng needle woman
sewing there; the streets swan by,
filed with their squalor, their hunger,
their ceaseless sutfering-and Chris
tianity spoke is these streets thro' the
mouth of the Policeman and what
she said to the tottering tramp was
"Move oD;" what she said to the
ragged widow was "Move on" what
she said to the starving child was
s'move on!"
And it strangely got into my
Dream somehow that the cause of all
the sorrow was that the Order of the
world was based on q mistake-a
dreadful mistake. That the unnatural
was the rule. That a feverish haste
had taken possession of mankind and
that the race was madly run for
things he really did not want. That
one man pushad, because another
pushed; cheated because others
cheated, boarded because others
boarded. Was cruel because he
thought the same measures would be
melted out to him were situations
reversed.
But the troubled nightmare passed,
and fell into the Dream of Tomor-
row-a gorgeous Dream-a Spirit
lifting Dream.
l seemed to be looking upon the
same World, but it was bathed in
light and filled with harmony.
The great rush and hurry had
passed away. The fever and the pain
was gone. 1t vast machinery moved
Ike the stars ''never hasting, but
never resting" There was room for
all and food for all. The Earth was
dedicated anew as Home for Gods
children--is products their food.
Religion burst out from the cold
churches and abode in the lives of
men-that high Religion which loves
mercy, does good and seeks the
Right.
Law was no longer FILTERED away
among wrangling advocates and stu
pid judges. She took her broad
principles into the walks of life and
did Justice between man and man.

49, Cunning Laws and sharp prac-
tees. The People themselves now
ruled and the Laborer was no longer
a serf.
There were no outoasts--for they
all had homes. There were no beg
garF, for there was work for all and
fair wages for all.
There was little crime, for its cause
had been removed.
There was brotherhood among
men, for the source of their rivalry
and hatred had been taken away.
Wars had ceased. The killing of
men had become horrible, whether
singIy or by thousands. A Murderer
was detested whether he was named
Guiteau or Napoleon.
The hum of peaceful industry was
in the air. The music of youthful
laughter was in the streets. The song
of the contented Reaper was in every
field.
Why was Tomorrow SO much
brighter and better than today
This Question seemed to come to me
even iu my dream.
AMI from somewhere this reply
seemed to come:
"Because the mistake of yesterday
was found and corrected. Because
Injustice was driven out of the Laws;
because favoritism in legislation
ceased; because the Laborer secured
fair treatment; because the cunning
laws of the Task Master are all dead;
because there were a few brave men
