The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1897-10-30


and the neigh borhoods around this |
capital SIT down and weep over theirs |
The tendency in all rural districts is
to suppose that sins and transgressions
cluster in our great cities; but citizens
and merchants long ago learned that
it is not safe to calculate from the
character Of the apples on the top Of
the farmers barrel what is the charac-
ter of the apples all the way down to
ward the bottom. Many Of our citi-
zens and merchants have learned that
it is always safe to see the farmer
measure the barrel Of beets- Milk cans
are not always honest. There are
those who, in country life, seem to
think they have a right to overreach
grain dealers and merchants OF all
styles They think 1t is more hon
orable to raise corn than to deal
in corn. The producer some
times practically says to the
merchant: You get your money
easily, anyhow" Does he get it easily?
While the farmer sleeps, and he may
go to sleep. conscious Of the fact that
his corn and rye are all the time pro-
crossing, and adding to his fortune or
his livelihood, the merchant tries to
sleep, while conscious Of the fact that
at that moment the ship may be driving
On the rock, or a wave sweeping over
the hurricans-deck spelling his goods,
or the spectators may be plotting
monetary revolution, or the burglars
may be at that moment at his money
safe, or the fire may have kindled on
the very block where his store stands.
Easy, is it2 Let those who get their
living In the quiet farm and barn take
he - - ~ r "a
aud see whether It is SO easy. 1t is
hard enough to have the hands Bills
tered with outdoor work, but it is
harder with mental Anxieties to have
the brain consumed. God help the
merchants And do not let those who
live in country life come to the conclu
sion that all the dishonesties belong to
city life.
l pass on to consider commercial
lies. There are those who apologize
for deviations from the right and for
practical deception by saying it Is COM
mercial custom. In other words lie
by multiplication becomes d virtue.
here are large fortunes gathered in
which there is not one drop of the
sweat OF unrequited toll, ana not Que
spark of bad temper flashes from the
| bronze bracket, and there is not one
! drop of needlewoman's hearts blood on
! the crimson plush; while there are
other fortunes about which it may be
said that on every door-knob and on
| every figure of the carpet, and on every
wall there is the mark of dishonor.
What If the hand wrung by toll and
blistered until the skin comes of
| should be placed on the exquisite wall
paper, leaving its mark of blood-four
/ fingers and a thnrnbP or If in the
| night the man should be aroused from
his slumber again and again by his
own conscience, getting himself up on
elbow and crying out in the darkness,
| 'Who is there?"
There are large fortunes upon which
| Gods favor comes down, and it is just
as honest and just as Christian to be
