That being granted, it follows that
capital buys as cheap as it can-faw
material and labor; it sells its finished
products to the consuming public at
the highest price it. can command.
These necessities to the maximum of
prosperity for capital have produced
the universal trust organization.
Capital being wholly selfish, and it
having organized the capitalistic UNI
ions for its own benefit. it must be
taken for granted that it will set in
motion such business policies as will
add to its profits. 10 add to its
Profits it must and will by the or
ganization Of trusts, place itself in
position where it will not compete
with itself in the labor market, and
1T being organized into a consoli-
dated single bidder for labor, will
be in position to name the price at
which the laborer shall sell his work;
it will also be placed in the same
position as the purchaser Of raw ma
terial. On the other hand, being in
single control Of the finished products,
which the people must have that they
may live, it will make the people pay
the highest price for those things they
must buy.
Capital has one abnormal faculty
commercialism. 1t is in business for
profit. The smaller price 1t has TO
pay for labor and raw material, and
the higher price it can force the pub
lice to pay for the finished product,
the more it can make-and IL your
correspondent can point out any room
in this business scheme for "affec-
tion,' we would like to have him in
dictate the exact spot. The theory
that the interests Of capital and la
Dor are identical! is one that affords
opportunity for oratorical hyperbole,
bit 1t offers no jutting aIpon which
to hang reason OF fact. AS Cleve-
land said, this is a condition and not
a, theory that confronts us. Altruistic
dreams are of little use when the
,sternest Of adverse conditions are
staring us in the face. We have all
lowed, ourselves to be marched up to
the dividing line where, IL we dis
play the intelligence that is required
OF American citizens, we must say.
this is for the interest OF, capital (us7
ing the word in the common accept.
ance OF the term) and this is what it
will do if we allow it; this is for the
interests Of the people who are not
rated as capitalists, and this is what
must be done for them il their inter-
ests are to be concerved-and having

hope of defeating Peabody is in a

There are indications that that may
happen.
The strike among the workers in
the packing houses in Chicago, Omaha,
Sioux City. st. Joseph and Kansas
City, is still on. 1t is impossible to
arrive at the truth about it. All the
dailies are in the interest of the pack
ers and are publishing everything that
would have any tendency to diacour-
age the strikers. 1t is claimed that
thousands of men have been shipped in
and that the packers have nearly their
normal supply. One thing is certain
about the Chicago strike breakers.
They are for the most part the Off
scourings of the earth. They are
plantation negroes and the most de-
graded of the foreign population of
the eastern cities, many OF them COM
ing from the stamping ground OF the
anarchists at Patterson, New Jersey.
The skilled men that must be en-
ployed are from the regular paid Hes
slams OF the Parry army of labor

There is no longer any doubt that
when plutocracy succeeds in electing
either of their presidential candidates,
>the precedent set in Colorado will be
followed everywhere, un.ess there is
a very large protest made by the peo-
pie of the United States in voting for
the peoples party candidate. Three
million votes cast for Tom Watson
would cause halt in such proceedings.
With nearly all the vote OF the United
States cast for the two plutocratic
candidates, Parry and his gang will
take fresh courage and the courts will
follow the Colorado preceuent.

FORMATION OF A BANK.
Project Favored by East End subur-
ban Association

At a meeting of the East End Suburban
Citizens Association held Thursday evening
it was decided by unanimous vote that the
association express sympathy with the
movement on foot for the establishment Of
bank in Northeast Washington. 1t was
Stated by Mr.. VIM. G. Dunno that several
citizens of that section of the city would
hold preliminary meeting the first of next
week with the view of formulating plan
for the organization of a bank, the stock
of which, it was stated would be in shares
of fifty dollars each, with limited aIlot-
ment or ten shares, and no more to any
one stakeholder, the idea being that a large
number of holders of stock rather than a
few will be preferable.
In the absence of President Ernest the
chair occupied by Mr.. Robert Bowdler.
Under the call of committees Mr.. J. A. Rup-
pert reported having called Commits
sioner Mcfarland in reference to the bill
for the widening and Improvement of
Bladensburg road and that the Commits
sioner assured the delegation that he would
do everything in his power to secure the
necessary legislation this winter.
MeSSrs. PlemmonS and Russell appeared
before the association as delegates from the
Policemen's Association of the District OF
Columbia to urge the cooperation of the
East End and other aSsocia lions in securing
the passage of II. r. 11043, which provides
for Redistribution of the force and an
increase in pay. On motion of Mr.. Dunno
it was decided that the East End Associa-
ton would do all in its power to secure the
passage of the bill.
The association went on record a S heartily
iRdorsing the recommendation of the board
of District Commissioners for the esta blish-
ment OF free public Fairgrounds in the city
of Washington as a needful and proper ad-
junct of municipal activity and authority.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED in as
to the adequacy of the present means of
escape in case of fire in the Northeast
Temple where very large crowds frequently
assemble. 1t was thought by those present
that suitable assurance should be given, and
on motion of Mr.. Robert Bowdler the secre-
tary was instructed to communicate with
the building inspector and inquire TO the
security and adequacy of the present fire.
escape facilities of the building mentioned.
Several communications were read and
disposed of and other matters of minor i'm
portance were passed on before the meeting
adjourned.

worship. Talk over Informally the reasons
why it is sometimes SO hard to collect ones
thoughts for private prayer and for Bible
reading. Call attention to the fact that one
moment face to face with God is better
than an hour of heartless devotions. Let
the main part of the meeting be prayer,
brief prayers, and for certain definite
things. Let the final petition be for a re-
newed spiritual vision in the members and
a desire to worship more truly in spirit and
in truth

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR HOUR
Conducted by Grace Livingston Hill.

For Sunday, December 4, 1904
Topic: How to Worship in Spirit and Truth
Psalm 100: Is; John A. 1924.
Psalms 1901. Make a joyful noise unto
the Lord all We lands.
q Serve the Lord with gladness: come
before His presence with singing.
g. Know we that the Lord, He is God; it
is He that, hath made us. and not we our
selves; we are His people, and the sheep
of His pasture.
f. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
and into His courts with praise; be thank
full unto Him, and bless His name.
s. For the Lord is good; His mercy is
everlasting, and His truth endureth to all
generations.
John 4-19 The woman saith unto Him,
Sir l perceive that Thou art prophet.
20. Our fathers worshiped in this noun
tain, and we say. that In Jerusalem is the
place where men ought to worship.
p. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe
me- the hour cometh when ye shall neither
in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
%. Ye worship We know not what; we
know what we worship; for salvation is Of
the Jews
%. But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
Father Seeketh such to worship Him.
"a God is spirit, and they that worship
Him must worship Him in spirit and in
truth.
The Lesson.
"a musician" says an ancient Latin
proverb, sis commended non tam multum
sed tam bene' mot because he played long
but because he played welD." And even so,
it is not the length but the life of our
prayers; not the measure. but the sincerity
of our Christian profession, that is account
ed of value, with God and with men. Quail
ty more than quantity is the crying need
of the church in these last times. The eff
conditioned upon their purity. If the
world is ever to be cured of the desperate
disease of sin that now afflicts it, it will
only be brought about when the individual
and collective Christianity of the world
has become sincere, pure and, therefore,
powerful
The cinnamon tree, as well as the Gin
chona or quinine tree, is Of value only for
it's bark. Take that away. and the re-
naming trunk is worthless. Are there not
Christians more than few who have as
their only real profession in the Christian
life mere profession, the bark under which
there ought to be, but Is not, the living
trunk of goodness? How many whitened
sepulchres there are walking about carry
ing long faces of holiness before their fell
lows? They often have SO great success in
deceiving men that perhaps 1t Is not strange
they try also to deceive Jehovah, but 1t is
wonderful how often many of us who are
not trying to pose before the world as any
great saints are tempted by the devil to
boldly try to deceive our Maker Think
Did you never do It? How often have you
gone to church with little delight in the
service before you? Your lips have formed
