The Struggle for Wealth,

The struggle for wealth is turning out
barbarians by the million, on as large
a scale, in fact, as any other products of
our expensive machinery. Competition
governed by no higher principle than
the "higgling of the market" creates
poverty, drunkenness, vice, physical de-
generation, bestial Indifference to every
human good The abundance which
ought to feed civilization is choking it,
The labor market" has taken the place
of the slave market, and men, women
and children are sold in it every day.
But the wage Garner comes cheaper than
the slave. He belongs to nobody. His
fee simple in our social progress is but
a contingent reminder of the workhouse
where no useful work is ever done, lest
1t should increase the competition out
side and SO multiply aupers.-Hartford

"THE ERA OF PROSPERITY"

BOSTON, Dec 31.-The Assabet Manufac-
turing company of this city, with wooden
mills at Maynard, has made an assign
ment for the benefit Of it's creditors. The
concern is one of the largest wooden manu-
featuring companies in the country. Liabili-
ties, according to the July statement,
amounted to $3,O1s, 161, including s1,0OOO 600 cap
ital stock.
Here is another illustration of the folly
of not taking the Republican daily pa
pers. 1t would have prevented this fail
ure.
A copy should be furnished to each Of
the discharged employees of this company,
SO they can read Dun and Bradstreet's
report of the millions of bushels of
wheat and corn and barley and potatoes
shipped every week from this country to
Europe. Then If their empty bellies howl
they can rub the newspaper over the
vacuum, and smile broad and placid
smile at the fool Populists.

New England people-ft for self-govern-
ment. You can't fool 'em with "a tin

Com NIT 1T to Memory,

eve hold these truths to be seif-evi-
dent: That all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. That to secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed; that
when any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or to abolish
1t, and institute new government, lay

organizing its power in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to affect
their safety and happiness" -American
