???? I H M CAPITAL AND LABOR Rev. Dr. Talmage Discusses the Industrial Problem. SOME LESSONS DRAWN From Strikes in Various Parts of the Country. A Truce Between Labor and Capital. Each Needs the Other. In this discourse I>r. Tahuage sug gosts how the everlasting war between capital and labor may he brought to a happy end. The text is, 1 Corinthians xii, 21, "The eye cannot say unto the hand, 1 have no need of thee." Fifty thousand workmen in Chicago ceasing work in one day, Brooklyn stunned by the attempt to halt its rail road ears, Cleveland in the throes of a labor agitation and restlessness among toilors all over the land have caused an epidemic of strikes, and somewhat to better things 1 apply the Paulino thought of my text. You have seen an elaborate piece of machinery, with a thousand wheels and a thousand pulleys, all controlled by one great water wheel, the machinery so adjusted that when you jar one part of it you jar all parts of it. Well, human society is a great piece of mechanism controlled by one great and ever revolving force the wheel of Cod's providence. You harm one part of tho machinery of society and you harm all parts. All professions interdependent. All trades interdependent. All classes of people interdependent. Capital and labor interdependent. No such thing as independence. hives cannot kick Lazarus without hurting his own foot. They who threw Shndrach into the furnace got their own bodies scorched. < >r to come hack to tho ligurc of the text, what a strange thing it would ho if the eye should say: I oversee the entire physical mechanism. 1 despise the other members of the body. If there is anything 1 am disgusted with, it is with those miserable, low lived hands. Or what if the hand should say: I am the boss workman of the whole physical economy. I have no respect for the other members of the body. If there is anything I despise, it is the eye seated under the dome of the forehead doing nothing but look. I come in, and I wave the Hag of truce between these two contestants, and 1 say, "The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of thee." That brings me to the first suggestion, and that is, that labor and capital arc to be brought to a better understanding by a complete canvass of the wiiolc subject. They will be brought to peace when they find that they are identical in their interests. When one goes down, both go down. When one rises, they both rise. There will bo an equilibrium after awhile. There never has been an exception to the rule. That which is good for one class of society and that which is bad for one class of society will eventually and in tiuio be bad for all. Every speech that labor makes against capital postpones tho day of permanent adjustment. Every speech that capital makes against labor postpones tho day of permanent adjustment. When capital maligns labor, it is the eye cursing the hand. When labor maligns capital, it is the hand cursing the eye. As far as 1 have observed, tho vast majority of capitalists are successful laborers. If the capitalists would draw their glove, you would see the broken linger nail, the scar of an old blister, the stillened linger joint. The great publishers of the country for the most part were bookbinders or typesetters on small pay. The gicat carriage manufacturers for the most part sandpapered wagon bodies in wheelwright shops. While, on the other hand, in all our large manufacturing establishments you will find men on wages who once employed 100 or 500 hands. The distance between capital and labor is not a groat gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridgo. It is only a step, and tno capitalists are crossing over to bccomo laborers, and the laborers arc crossing over to become capitalists. Would God they might shake hands while they cross. Again, there is to come relief to the laboring classes of this country through c jopcrativc associations. 1 am not at this moment speaking of trades unions, but of that plan by which laborers put their surplus together and become their own capitalists. Instead of being dependent upon the beck of this capitalist or that capitalist thcyminago their own affairs. In England and Wales there are Kill co-operative associations. They have 3-10,000 members. They have a capitol of $18,000,000, or what corresponds to our dollars, and they do a business annually of $03,000,000. Thomas Brassey, one of the foremost men in the British parliament, on the subject says: "Co-operation is the ono and the only relief for the laboring populations. This is the path," he says, "by which they arc to come up from the hand to the mouth style of living to reap the rewards and the honors of our advanced civilization." Lord Derby and .John Stuart Mill, who gave half their lives to the study of the labor question, believed in co-operative institutions. The co-operative institution formed in Troy, N. V., stood long enough to illustrate the fact that great good might come of such an institution if it were rightly carried on and mightily developed. "But," says some one, "haven't these institution sometimes been a failure?' Yes. Every great movement has been a failure at some time Application of the steam power a failure, electro telegraphy a failure, railroading a failure, but now the chief successes of the world. "JJut," says some one, "why talk of surplus being put by laborers into cooperative associations, when the vast multitude of toilers of this country arc struggling for their daily bread and have no surplus?" I reply: I'ut into my hand the money spent by the laboring classes of America for rum and tobacoo, and I will establish co-operative associations in all parts of this land, somo of them mightier than any finunoial institutions of the country. We spend in this country over $100,000,000 cvory year for tobacco, We spend over $1,500,000,000 directly or indi roctly for rum. The laboring classes spend their share of this money. Now, suppose tl o laboring man who has boon expending his money in those directions should just add up how much he has expended during these past few years und then suppose that that money was put into a co-operative association and then suppose he should have all his friends in toil, who had made the same kind of expenditure, do the same thing, and that should be added up and put into a co operative association. And then take all that money expended for overdress and overstyle and overliving on the part of toiling people in order that they may appear as well as persons who have more income gather that all up, and you eould have co operative associations all over ihisl.?nd. 1 am not say ing anything now about trades unions. You want to know what I think of trades unions 1 think they i: * niv iiivjou uguuuuiiii in nUlUC UirCUilODH, ami they have a specific object and in this day, when there arc vast monopolies a thousand monopolies conecntra ting the wealth of the people into the possession of a few men, unless the la boring men of this country and all countries band together they will go under. There is a lawful use of a trade union, but then there is an unlawful use of a trade union. If it means sympathy in time of sickness. If it means finding work for people when they are out of work, if it means the improvement of the financial, the moral or the religious condition of the laboring classes, that is all right. l>o not artists band togeth er in an art union? Ib? not singer.-band together in Handel and Haydn societies? l>o not newspaper men band together in press clubs? l>o not ministers of religion band together in conferences and associations? There is not in all the land a city where clergymen do not come together, many of them once a week, to talk over affairs. For these reasons you should not blame UK..- vv*T? .i.~ -i~: ? Ktinii tsMii vi r>. ? i iiuii iin;> ill I* 'KMIIL' their legitimate work, tlicy aro most ad tnirahlo, but when tlicy ooiuo around with drum and life and Hag and drive people off from their toil, from their scaffoldings, from their factories, then they are nihilistic, then they are communistic, then they are barbaric, then they arc a curse. If a man wants to stop work, let him stop work, but he cannot stop me from work. Hut now suppose that all the labor ing classes banded together for hcncficicnt purposes in co-operative association under whatever name they put their means together. Supposo they take the mo > that they waste in rum and tobacco s i use it for the elevation of their families, for the education of their chili en for their moral, intellectual and rc'ig ious improvement, what a different stato of things we would have in this country and they would have in (jr at Britain. l>o you not realize the fact that men work better without stimulant? You say, ' Will you deny the laboring men this help which they get from strong drink, borne down as they are with many anxieties and exhausting work?" 1 would deny them nothing that is good for them. I would deny them storng drink, if I had the power, because it is damaging to them. My father said: "I became a temperance man in early life because 1 found that in the harvest Held, while 1 was naturally weaker than the other men, 1 could hold out longer than any of theui. They took stimulant and 1 tooK none." Everybody knows they cannot endure great fatigue ?men who indulge in stimulants. All our young men understand that. When they arc preparing for the regatta or the ball club or the athletic wrestling, they abstain from strong drink. Now, suppose all this money that is wasted were gathered together and put into co-operative institutions ?oh, we would have a very different state of things from what we have now! 1 remark again: The laboring classes of this country are to find great relief when they learn, all of them learn, forecast and Providence. Vast numbers of thorn put down their income, and they put down their expenses, and if the income meets the expenses that is all that is necessary. I know laboring men who arc in a perfect fidget until tlicy have spent their lust dollar. They 11 y around everywhere until they get it spent. A ease came under my observation where a young man was receiving ?700 a year and earned it by very hard work. The marriage day came. The bride had re ceivcd ?500 as an inheritance from her grandfather. She put the ?500 in wedding equipment. Then the twain hired two rooms on the third story. Then this man, who had most arduous employment, just as much as ho could possibly enduie, got evening employ ment so he could earn a few dollars more, and by this extra evening employment almost extinguished his eyesight. Why did he take this extra evening employment? Was it to lay by something for a rainy day? No. Was it to get a life insurance so that it he should die his wife would not be a pauper? No. It was for the one purpose of getting his wile a ?150 sealskin sack. I am just giving you a fact I know. The sister of this woman, although she was a very poor girl, was not to be eclipsed, and so she went to work day and night and toiled and toiled and toiled almost into the grave until she got a ?150 sealskin sack! Well, the news went abroad all through the street. Most of the people on that street were laboring hardworking people, and they were not to ho outshone in this way, and they all went to work in the same direction and practically said, though not literally, "Though tho heavens fall, we must have a sealskin sack!" A clergyman in Iowa told me that hit; church and the entire neighborhood had been ruined by tho fact that tho people mortgaged their farms in ordered to go down to the Philadelphia centennial in 1870. First, one family would go, then another family, and finally it was not respectable ihk to go to the ccntonnial at Philadelphia, and they mortgaged their farms. The church and the neighborhood ruined in that way. Now, between such fools and pauperism there is only a very short step. In time ol peace prepare for war. In time of pros perity prepare for adversity. Vet how many there arc who drive on the verge of the precipice and at the least touch ol accident or sickness over they go. Ah my friends, not right, it is noi honest! He that providcth not for hi: own, and especially those of bis owr household, is worse than an infidel. .A man has no right to livo in luxury ant i have all comforts and ull brightness around him, taking his family with hiu ' " 11 * at that rate -everything bright and beautiful ami luxurious, until lie stumbles against a tombetone and falls in and tlicy all g- to tho poor homo. That is not common honesty. I am no advocate of skinflint saving. I abhor it. Hut 1 plead for Christian providence. There arc some people who arc disgusted if they see anything like economy, such as a man might show in turning down the gas in tho p trior whon he goes out. There are families actually embarrassed if you ring their doorbell before they hive the hall lighted. There are people who apologize if you surpriso them at the table. Now, is it moan or it is magnificent to save just according to what you save for. If it is for the miserly hoarding of it, then it is despicable, but if it means better education for your children, if it means more house help for your wife when sne 18 not strong enough to do inuoh work, if it means that the day of your death shall not he a horror beyond all endurance bocauso it is to throw your family into disruption and annihilation and poorhouse, then it is magnificent if it is to divoid all that. Some of the older persons remember very well Abraham Van Nest of New York, one of its Christian merchants, lie was often called mean because he calculated so closely. Why did he calculate so closely. That he might have the more to give. There was not a Uiblo society, or a tract society, or a reformatory institution in the city of New York but lie had a hand in supporting it. lie denied himself many luxuries that he might give to others the necessities, lie has been many years reaping hi- reward in heaven, but 1 shall never forget the day when 1, a green country lad, cauic to his house and spent the evening, and at the close of the evening, as I was departing, ho accompanied me to the steps, came down off the steps and said: "Here, DoWitt, is?lu for books. Don't say anything about it." It is mean or it is magnificent to save, according as you save for a good or for a bad object. 1 know there aro many people who have much to say against savings banks and life insurances. I have to toll you that the vast majority of tho homesteads in this country has been the result of such institutions, and I have to tell you also that tho vast majority of the homesteads of the future for tlm laboring classes will bo tho result of such institutions. It will be a great day for the working classes of England and the United States when the work i gtnnn can buy a barrel of flour instead I id' flour by the small sack, when he can buy a barrel of sugar instead of sugar by the pound, when be can pay cash for coats and hats and shoes rather than pay a>i additional amount for the reason that he has to got it all charged. Again 1 remark, great relief is to come for the laboring classes of this country by appreciation on the part of employers that they had better take their employees into their confidence. 1 can see very easily, looking from my standpoint, what is tho matter. Employes, seeing the employer in scorning prosperity, do not know all the straits, all the hardships, all tho losses, all tho annoyances. They look at him and they think. "Why, he has it easy, and we have it hard." They do not know that at that very moment the employer is at the last point of desperation to meet his engagements. I know a gentleman very well who nas over a thousand hands in his employ. 1 said to him some years ago when tlierc was great trouble in the labor 'market, "How are you getting on with your men?'' ,:()h!" he said, "1 have no trouble." "Why," 1 said, "have not you had any strikes?" "Oh, no," he said, "I never had any trou bio." "What plan do you pursue?" lie said: "1 will tell you. All my men know every year just how matters stand Kvcry little while 1 call them together and say: 'Now, boys, last year 1 made so much; this year I made less; so you see I cannot pay you as much as 1 did last year. Now. I want to know what you think I ought to have as a percentage out of this establishment and what wages 1 ought to give you. You know 1 put all my energy in this business, put nil my fortune in it and risked everything. What do you really think 1 ought to have ..nd you ought to have? lly the time we come out of that consultation we are unanimous. There never has been an exception. When we | rospor, we all prosper together; when we sutler, we all sufTer together, and my men rould die for mo." Now, let all employers he frank with their employees. Take them into your confidence. Let them know just how mat tors stand. There is an immense amount ... - _ - * ' ui couiinon sense in lite world. It is always safe to appeal to it. 1 remark, again, great relief will eomo to the laboring classes of thii country through the religious rectification of it. Labor is honored and rewarded in proportion as a community is Christianized. Why is it that our smallest coin in this country is a penny, while in China it takes a half dozen pieces of coin or a dozen to make one of our pennies in value, so the Chinese carry the cash, as they call it, like a string of heads around the neck? We never want to piv less than a penny for anything i < ibis country. They must pay i that which is worth only the sixth part i or the twelfth part of a penny. Heathenism and iniquity and infidelity dci press everything. Tho gospel of .Jesus Christ elevates every t' ing. I low do 1 account for this? I account for it with i the plainest philosophy. The religion i of .Jesus Christ is a democratic religion. It tells tho employer that he is a brother to all the operatives in the establish i mcnt made by the same (Jod, to lie in [ tho satno dust and to bo saved by the ! same supreme mercy. It docs not make the slightest difference how much i money you havo. you cannot buv vonr i way into tlic kingdom of heaven. If i you huvo the grace of (lod in your heart I you will enter heaven. So you see it is I a democratic religion. Saturate our j population with this gospel, and labor ( will bo respectful, labor will be rcward> ed, labor will be honored, capital will f ho Christian in all its behavior, and . there will be higher tides of thrift set r in. 5 hot me say a word to all capitalists: f lie your own executors. M ike i:;v st, monts for eternity. I>? nor he like t some of those capitalists I know who < walk an u id among their employers t with < ?i ipeicilioui uir or drive up to k the factory in a manner which seems 1 to indicate they are tho autocrat of the i universe, with the sun and moon in 1 their vest pockets, chiefly anxious when they go among laboring mcu not to be touched by the greasy or smirched hand and liavo their broadcloth injured. He a Christian employer. Uomoniber those who are under your chargo are bone of your bone and Hesh of your flesh, that .Jesus Christ died for them and that they are immortal. Divido up your estates, or portions of them, for the relief of the world beforo you leave it. Do not go out of tho world liko that man who died in Now York leaving in his will $10,000,000, yet giving how much for tho church of Clod how much for the alleviation of human suffering? Ho cave some money a little while before lie died. That was well, but in all this will of' $10, 000,000 how much? One million? No. Five hundred thousand? No. Ono hundred dollars? No. Two cents? No. One cent? No. These great cities groaning in anguish, nations crying out for the bread of everlasting life. A man in a will giving $ 10,000,000 and not 1 cent to (Jod! It is a disgrace to our civilization. t )r, as illustrated in a letter which I have concerning a man who departed this life leaving between $;>, 000,000 and $8,000,000. Not one dollar was left, this writer says, to comfort the aged workmen and workwomen, not $1 to elevate and instruct the hundreds of pale children who stilled their childish growth in the heat and clamor of his factory. Is it strange that tho curse of the children of toil follows such ingratitude? How well could one of his many millions have boon disbursed for the present and the future benefit of those whose hands had woven literally the fabric of the dead man s princely fortune. O capitalists of the I nited States, be your own executors! Ito a Gcorgo l'eabody, if nccdbc, on a small scale. Hod has made you a steward. I>ischarge your responsibility. My word is to all laboring men in this country: I congratulate you at your brightening prospects. I congratulate you on the fact that you are getting your representatives at Albany, at llarrisburg and at Washington. I have only to mention such a man of the past as Henry Wilson, the shoemaker; as Andrew Johnson, the tailor; as Abraham Lincoln, the boatman. The living illustrations easily occur to you.

He sayg: "I wish 1 could have that information. I wish I could raise $."> for that costly and beautiful book." A few months pass on, and he gets the value of that hook for 2.") cents in a pamphlet. There never was such a day for the workingmcn of America as this <1 ay and the day that is coming. I also congratulate you because your work is only prefatory and introductory. You want the grace of Jesus Christ, the Carpenter of Nazareth. He toiled himself, and he knows how to sympathize with all who toil, (let his crane in vnur heart, and vrm can sing on the scaffolding amid the storm, in the shop shoving the plane, in tho mine plunging the crowbar, on shipboard climbing the ratlines, lie will make the drops of sweat on your brow glittering pearls for the eternal coronet. Are you tired? lie will rest you. Are you sick? lie will give you help. Are you cold? lie will wrap you in the mantle of his love. Who are they before the throne? "Sir,'" you say, ''their hands were never calloused with toil!" Yes, they wore. You say, "Their feet wore never blistered with tho long journey." \ os, they were, but Christ raised them to that high eminence. Who are these? ''These are they that came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." That for every Christian workingman and for every Christian working woman will be the beginning of eternal hoiiday. One Minute Cough Cure quickly cures obstinate summer coughs and colds.

The young farmers of your State must look back into the early history of their fathers and shape their futuro course in agriculture by the self-sustaining mothod in use on ovcry faim at that time, utilizing all tho latest and most approved farming implements that will reduce the cost of labor, increase the pleas.ire of tho business and hasten that day of prosperity so much to bo desired. Tho older farmer should resurrect the principles of farming in voguc-during their earlier days and make of their farms commendable object lessons of what they know to be possible of the great rcsourecs of their State. I'l.ANTINO T1IK WHEAT ? It?>|?. Plant your wheat not later than tho last week in October, preparing your land by deep ploughing, harrowing aud rolling. No matter how extensive or i how restricted your acreage in wheat may be the coming fall do not neglect to treat the seed as a safeguard against smut. I have read hundreds of letters this spring from farmers stating that they could not raise wheat booauso of the ravages of smut. The Itomanswcrc alllictcd with the same trouble over two thousand years ago. Scientific investigations within recent years have discovered the life history of the smut germ, and by continued experiments, have found remedies which, if properly applied, will in every instance free the grain of future disaster from that source. Smut is nothing more than a parasitic plant adhering to the grain, germinating with the grain and growing along with the stalk. Its presence is only discovered by microscopic examination. As the infected head of wheat develops the nutriment intended for the grain is absorbed by the smut germ and a mass of loose brown spores is formed. These spores, blown about the field by winds, adhere to thousands of good grains and the foundation is laid for increasing disaster the following year. Smut docs not therefore develop after the crop is planted and growing, must be in life and attached to the seed wheat before it is put in the ground. Ordinarily a solution of bluestone, at the rate of one pound to enough water for immersing five bushels of wheat and allowing to stand for twelve or fourteen hours, will eradicate the trouble. I >o not allow smut to en ivi mm .u f: u m?j II l UgUlUSl w neai raising. A more universal growing of wheat will develop Hour mills convenient to every section of the country. Produce the raw material and machinery will be at once erected for the preparation of grain into needed uses. INC11KA8INO 1NTKKKST IN AORICULTU11E. The widespread interest which the people of our cities arc taking in the betterment of our agricultural condi tions is indeed gratifying. There has never been a time in the history of our country when so universal an interest in agriculture was manifested by people in all avocations of life as at present. The world is awakening to the nccessi ty of the farmer and the importance of aiding him to so shape his courso in future that his business may be one of deserving prosperity and high usefulness. Upon the success of tho farmer must unquestionably depend the continued prosperity of all avocations existing in a truly agricultural country. All of these highly desirable ends and muiu may uu uur uill |MftOUUU UIIUU^Il LIIC adoption o( such farming methods as will enable us to become more prosper ous as the years roll by. Make your farms sclfsustaining. When you have provided an acreage of diversified crops sufiicicnt to meet the demands of home supply it would then be proper to consider the extent of the money crop. Rotate your crops, plough deep, harrow and roll your lands. Increase the fertility of the soil, supply needed humus and improve its mech.inieal condition by growing leguminous plants everywhere they can be sown or cultivated. Institute a systematic method of increasing the compost heap and cut down I the heavy bills for fertilizers. The lugumo and compost heap should be the farinpr's bank; with their assistance he can at once travel the inviting road to independence and wealth. Without them he must continue to look for help only from costly and oppressive sources. Let the farmer work out his independence without fear or trembling, gradually abolishing the credit system from the future conduct of his business. Plunged Among The Sharks A magazine writer, in describing a recent trip at sea, says an interesting occurrence on the ocean trip was when a Lascar sailor volunteered to show how sharks were killed in his country. Several were following in the wake of the ship at the time, and the Lascar selected the largest for the exhibition. Divesting himself of his already scant apparel lie armed himself with a knife, which he carried between his teeth and made a deep dive. We did not sec him for fully two minutes, and just when we thought something was wrong, a great commotion occurred among the sharks, and slowly one turned over on L i _ 1 I. iL - - l'l 1- - ins uai3K, me water, mcanwniie, ue- i coming a deep red.
