Some think it is the | seasons which are either loo hot, too cold, too j n I wet, or too dry. and each of th< s.> conditions ) n of the reasons are blamed so it. can not be at- j tributed to either, as we have every variety of t< them. tl I Some think the fault Is In the kind of peo-|tl j pie we have, but it caunot be since we have every variety of Ihcm. Some think it is mo-1 c< . ney we need, ami they are wrong, for there Is! more money In the country than a mule can ; c j pull down hill in a cart on Ice with both 11: ' wheels greased. Every ho ly wishes for thou: sands of money. Mr. Ike frequently imag- n ines if iie had millions how happy and bless-' h j ed the country would he, and especially him- j e self, yet when he gets hold ot a nickle he dors t< not. properly apply it. If he and the rest, had I wisely invested the few nirkles that came in- J si i to their possession they would be welloff; still j t> [ they think they are the proper persons tohan-1 o ; die millions, though they are mistaken. A | p i very few dollars make a great many of us ss ! verv ridiculous, and if wc had a few thousand | ' dollars our pomposity and verbosity WnUlcl j O j l?e Unendurable. Ho the dispenser very wisely | S; I withholds what he sees would make us as ri-1 F j dlculous ns a tnule with red striped breeches, j l>; j We think it a great misfortune to be poor <s< hut the world could not get. along without: Hi ' poor people. While rlc h people are of little or j j no use whatever, either in war or peace, it Is J tl | the poor people that run the machinery of the K I world. Take ail the poor |>cople out of tlielii ! Country and the rich people wou'd not be.li | worth the ammunition it would take to kill !ai I them. Thej- are the slaves to guard the money ! rt that is utterly worthless unless It is (or thej use of the poor people. Some think if we had j tr the right kind of laborers and could properly [ a control them, especially the negroes, we fr would be huppy and prosperous and have j nothing to do but say go, and do. and our bid- tl ding would be done, though our lnl>orers are j hi worthy of their hire, and if paid will perform. M fjo the fault Is not In them. Others think we A I need legislation, tliou-.h that cannot tie since R | we now have twenty-seven kinds of laws tn j pi proteel and guide us in ilie pat hs of prosper!ty and happiness, and to shield us from p wrong? and it takes a car of books to contain : w the laws of each kind, there is not a vice nor j r? a virtue in the category that has not l>e<-n pro I fo ? hlbited by some law or other, and there is ; It i noi'hing good or mean for which our lawyers i pi eanno! find law to encourage or to excuse, it I w ! matters not what a plaintiff or defendant c< | may do or be euiltv of a g"0d and true lawI yer can find law to justify it. pi I Many people seem to tblnk the fault Is in el | the religion of the day, and they are not so B [far wrong ns you might suppose. Still all the vi fault cannot be In religion, and while this club claims to possess very little of it, ihoro is hi undoubtedly a stream of "pure religion that I, ha< descended from the creation down to the in present day, and while it cannot Inculcate j Hi any Improper thought or deed, many tlinttie I claim to have been regenerated and washed j if j in the stream are far from clean. I at j Some claim It is a want of knowledge thai j ? Is injuring us, but if we would only do as well | | as we know how to do thejails would soon be i | empty and the lawvers starved. Knowledge j j was the forbidden fruit, that otirgrnnd Jnoth- | er eat too much of and made the whole liu-; v; I man race sick, and thej* arc not over it yet. tl II would be a blessing indeed, if we could rt j only answer all our misdeeds by the plea ttiat.! we did not know beiter.
