DIR. BUCKLEY'S PROPHECY.
He Becomes a "CaIamity Howler."

New YORK, Sept. 3.-"There are men to-
day who are giving their millions to endow
colleges and Libraries whose wealth has been
obtained in direct contradiction to the Golden
Rule and the principles taught by Christ"
This was of the striking assertions made
by the Rev. James M. Buckley, editor of the
Methodist Christian Advocate, in a sermon in
the First Congregational church, in Montclair,
NJ ].
The subject OF the address was "Trades
Unions, and the Dangers that Confront the
Public" DR.. Buckley has been personally in.
vestigating many strikes, and has studied the
question of trades unions. He said: cit does
not require prophet or son of prophet to
tell us that within three years-yes, two years
this country will pass through terrible
crisis if there is not an immediate change in
the relations of labor and capital. 1t seems as
if both have thrown Christian conduct and
common sense to the winds.
"Things have been going from bad to worse,
and labor unions have now assumed so arro-
giant an attitude that great crash is almost
inevitable. You have only to read the history
of Rome, changing names and dates, to see
what this country is coming to.
"Instead of trying to settle the vexed ques-
tions of capital and labor along Christian lines,
you have great organized sel6shness opposed to
great organized sel6sbness.
'"The greatest and most arrogant trust is the
labor trust. 1t is domneered and offcered by
Irresponsible walking delegates, who pursue
policy of rule or ruin. Conditions in great
centers of population are only growing worse,
the number of poor is on the increase, and we
are getting in immigrants, not as formerly the
Anglo Saxons. and Germans, but mostly those
from southern Europe Italy and Bohemia, who
readily lend themselves to the most reckless of
trades unions.
ut is time ior the thoughtful men to face
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1903-09-11

the future with earnest prayer, for it is time
to~try mems souls. A trade union is all right
until it encroaches upon personal liberty, and
then it must be checked.
81 repeat, great crash is coming, and many
rich women who have horses and carriages,
and are apparently leaders of fashion, will be
brought to want. History repeats itself, and
we cannot sew the wind and hope to escape
from reaping the whirlwind.
"The only solution of these great labor
problems is in the practical application of
Christian principles The rich man must re-
gard the poor man as his brother, and the latter
must serve the rich with faithfulness, diligence
and sincerity.
"We caunot expect the walking delegate, or
even the president of the United States, to set
tie these questions of labor and capital Nor
can politicians improve the situation, We
must apply the simple truths OF Christianity,
and act On them at once, or face the oeluge.
"The crisis is very near, and the suffering
will be terrible.'

1T WAS A "PUT.UP JOB"
The Wall Street Decline a Banking Scheme.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The New York Trib.
une says: 1t now develops that the great
break in securities which eliminated August
10th was part of deliberate plan by the
great 6nanciers to prevent widespread panicky
conditions this autumn. 1t was carefully
calculated move, led by banking interests, by
which stocks were caused to shrink until they
reached basis where the return on an invest
ment was considered reasonable. Then, deliv-
cries were stopped arbitrarily, and prices were
sent up by the same system of manipulation.
In the meantime, the shrinkage of more than
$2,154, QUO in stock values Injured to the great
benefit of John D. Rockefeller. Mr.. Rookie
feller did not operate in harmony with the
National City, First National or the Morgan
Interests in letting prices decline. He stood
apart and held, as it were, capacious bag, in
which dropped the stocks which unfortunate
and weak holders had to part with.
]. P. Morgan was at first opposed to the pol
icy of decling prices, but finally yielded pride
to reason, and joined with the others and manip-
ulated the, market at will until values were
lowered to proper level.
Is not this country in fine condition when
a few Wall street gamblers can manipulate the
nations affairs to suit vet-ED1ToR

Official Wisdom.

From the Kansas City World
Uncle Sam owns an ice plant ia Manila.
1t cost 81 900, 900.
According to a press dispatch, the officials
say it has been "a tremendous money-maker."
That is good.
Yet, the powers that be have decided to sell
the factory.
Why?
Simply because of a traditional policy that
the government shall not engage in business,
and that its revenues must all be raised by tax
alton.
Such tollv
Nobody in the Philippines is dissatisfied with
the public ownership of the plant.
The service is probably cheaper and better
than that of an ordinary ice trust.
Still, Uncle Sam is said to be no longer an
ice man.
Pittsburg syndicate wants the ice-making
privilege in Manila, but it is willing to pay
only $3.50, 900 for Uncle Sans milion-dollar
ice plant. The administration, says the report,
will try to get back the full amount of the
money invested.
Lots of people will pass over this incident
without stopping to think of its significance.
The United States has already sunk many
million dollars i'll the Philippines Under its
stupid policy, however, it must not recover
dollar of this money, except by taxation.
What is the milk in the cocoanut?
The capitalistic interests, whose will the
government ever reflects, do not wish the peo-
pie to see the advantages of public ownership
over trust and corporation ownership. These
interests know that it would seal their doom.
If Uncle Sam does not wish to make profit
out of his ice factory, let him reduce the price
of ice, instead of saddling private ice monop-
oily upon the people of Manila to gouge them
and exploit the workers who make and deliver
the ice.
