The Two Should stand together.

The Two Should Stand Together.
|. The toilers on the farm and in the
factory have cause to believe that they
are being cheated out of part of their
earnings.
One of the things that labor has rea-
son to fear is the effect of private mo-
nopoly. The trusts have been grow
ing rapidly during the last few years
and all wage 'earners are menaced by
them. Some have suggested that the
employees should join with the employ
ers in controlling the industries and
then divide the advantages of higher
prices. Such proposition is immoral
as well as impolitic. The employees
could no more justify aiding the trusts
to eAtort from the consumers, even if
they could share in the results, than
an honest citizen could justify giving
aid to a highwayman on promise of
part of the plumber.
But such an agreement would be as
unwise as wrong. If trust made arti-
cles are sold at high prices, compared
with other products, the demand will
be reduced and labor thrown out of
employment.
In test of endurance the farmer can
stand it longer than the man in the
factory, but why should the laboring
man in the city array himself against
his best friend-the farmer?
The trust hurts the consumer first,
and then the producer of the raw ma
terial, and last-and possibly most
the laborer All three should combine
to destroy the private monopolies now
in existence and to prevent the creation
of any new monopolies.
Next to the trust in it's evil effect
upon labor is what is known as govern
ment by injunction. According to our
theory of government, the executive,
legislative and judicial branches should
be kept separate and distinct, but it is
coming to be the custom for the judge
to issue an order declaring an act to
be unlawful and then assume the pre-
negatives of the executive and enforce
the law, while as judge he sits without
jury to condemn the person whom he
is prosecuting. The main purpose OF
this judicial process is to deprive the
accused of trial by jury, and while
every citizen should resist this attack
on the jury system the employees OF
great corporations are just now its
special victim.
The wage-earners as a part, and as
an important part, too, of society, are
interested in all questions which effect
our civilization, but they are at present
experiencing the necessity of reform
along the lines above suggested;

At a meeting of the general assembly
Of the Presbyterian church of the
United States a clergyman accustomed
on the Sabbath to preach to an audi
ence of two OF three hundred people,
in an audience room that could hold
fifteen hundred, was appointed to
preach sermon on how to reach the
masses. l am told the incongruity
was too much for the risibilities of
many of the clergy in the audience.

such bedwarting influences, how can he

that will help them all the week and
help them forever?
Young ministers arc told they must
preach Christ and him crucitied. Yes
but not as an abstraction. Many a
minister has preached Christ and him
crucified in such a way that he preach
ed an audience OF five hundred down
to two hundred, and from two hundred
to one hundred, and from one hundred
to fifty, and from fifty to twenty and
on down until there was but little left
save the sexton, who was paid to stay
until the service was over and lock up.
There is great deal of cant about
Christ and him crucified. 1t is not
Christ and him crucified as an abstrac-
ton, but as an omnipotent sympathy
applied to all the wants and woes of

nursery, a Christ for the kitchen. a

Queer Idea of Chivalry.

In India, where women have always
been drudges, the Difference paid by
Englishmen to ladies is always a mat
ter of curious interest. An educated
Nohammedan gentleman was talking
to an old resident of the Punjab, who
has written on the subject. Said the
Mohammedan: 'Now that the queen
is dead, will you Englishmen take Of
your hats to ladies?" When told Ger.
tainly this would be done and asked
why he made the inquiry, he said: 1--WE
thought you used to take of your hats
to ladies' because lady was the ruler
Of the oeuntsy."-London News.
