DR. TALMAGE SUGGESTS A REMEDY
FOR STRIKE EPIDEMICS.
You
feci the blood rushing
what kind of blood?
That is the question.
Is it pure blood or impure
blood ?
If the blood is impure then
you are weak and languid;
your appetite is poor and your
digestion is weak. You can
not sleep well and the morn
ing finds you unprepared for
the work of the day. Your
cheeks are pale and your com
plexion is sallow. You are
troubled with pimples, boils, i
or some eruption of the skin.
Why not purify your blood?
will do it. Take it a few da^
and then put your finger on
your pulse again. You can
feel the difference. It is
stronger and your circulation
better. Send lor our bock on
Impure Blood.
If you are bilious, take
Ayer’s Pills. They greatly
aid the Sarsaparilla, They
cure constipation also. v

ICopyri;;ht, L.uis Klopsch, 181.0.1
Washington, Aug. 13. —In this dls-
eourse l>r. Tiilmuge suggests how the
everlasting war between enpital and
labor may be brought to a happy end.
The text Is 1 Corinthians xil, 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 cars; Cleveland in the throes of
a labor agitation, and restlessness
among toilers all over the land
have caused an epidemic of strikes,
and, somewhat to better things, 1 apply
the 1‘uuliuc thought of my text.
You have seen an elaborate piece of
machinery, with a thousand wheels
and a thousand bunds and a thousand
pulleys ail controlled by one great
waterwheel, the machinery so ad
justed 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 ami ever re
volving force the wheel of Cod’s prov-
idem e. You harm one part of the ma
chinery of society, and you harm all
parts. All professions interdependent.
j\ll trades interdependent. All classes
of people* interdependent. Capital and
labor interdependent. No such thing as
Independence. IMvcs cannot kick Laza
rus without hurting his own foot. They \
who threw Shadrach into the furnace
got their own bodies scorched. Or, to j
come back to the liguro of the text, :
what a strange tiling it would be If the j
eye should say: 1 oversee the entire
physical mechanism. I despise the
other members of the body; if there is
anything l am disgusted with, it is
with those miserable, low lived hands.
Or, what if the hand should say: 1 am
the boss workman of the whole physic
al 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 1 wave the flag of
truce between these two contestants,
and I say, “The eye cannot say to the
hand, ‘I have no need of thee.’ ”
!,:■ bor unit (Tipltnl.
That brings me to the first sugges
tion, and that Is, that labor and capital
are to be brought to a better under
standing by a complete canvass of the
whole subject. They will lie brought
to peace when they (hid that they are
identical in their interests. When one
goes down, they both go down. When
one rises, they both rise. There will lie
an equilibrium sifter awhile. There
never has been an exception to the
rule. Tlisit which is good for one class
of society eventually w ill be good for
all classes of society, and that which Is
bad for one class of society will even
tually and in time be bad for all. lively
speech that labor makes against capi
tal postpones the day of permanent ad
justment. livery speech that capital
makes against labor postpones the day
of permanent adjustment. When capi
tal maligns labor, it is the eye cursing
the hand. When labor maligns capital,
It is the hand cur.-iing the eye. As far
as l have observed, the 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
stiffened Anger Joint. The great pub
lishers of the country for the most
part were bookbinders, or typesetters,
on small pay. Tin; great carriage man
ufacturers for the most part sand
papered wagon bodies in wheelwright
shops. While, on the other hand. In all
our large manufacturing establish
ments you will lind men on wages who
once employed a hundred or live hun
dred hands. The distance between
capital and labor Is not a great gulf
over which Is swung a Niagara sus
pension bridge; it Is only a step, and
the capitalists are crossing over to be
come laborers, nml the laborers are
crossing over to become capitalists.
Would Hod they might shake hands
while they cross. On the other hand,
laborers are the highest style of capi
talists. Where are their investments?
in banks? No! (u the railroads? No!
Their nerve, their muscle, their bone,
their mechanical skill, their physical
health are maguifleent capital. He who
lias two eyes, two ears, two feet, two
hands, ten lingers, lias machinery that
puts into nothingness carpet and screw
and cotton factory, anil all the other
Implements on the planet. The capital
ists were laborers, the laborers were
capitalists. The sooner we understand
that the better.
Co-operative AmhocIhtlonn.
Again, there is to come relief to the
laboring Gasses of this country
through eo-operntive associations. 1
am not at this moment speaking of
trades unions, but of that plan by
which laborers put their surplus to
gether and become their own capital
ists. Instead of being dependent upon
the beck of this capitalist or that capi
talist. they manage their own affairs.
In England and Wales there are M3
co-operative associations. They have
310,000 members; they have a capital
of sjtlS.noO.OOO, or what corresponds to
our dollars, and they do a business
annually of fikLUOO.OOO. Thomas Bras-
scy, one of tlio foremost men In the
British parliament, on the subject
says: “Co-operation is the one and the
only relief for tin* laboring populations.
This Is the path,” he says, “by which
they are to come up from the hand to
the mouth style of living, to reap the
rewards and the honors of our ad
vanced civilization.” Lord Derby and
John Stuart Mill, who gave half their
lives la tile study of the labor question,
believed lu co-operative Institutions.
“But,” says some on*;, “haven't these
Institutions sometimes been a failure?’’
Yes. livery great movement has been
a failure at somo time. Application of
the steam power a failure, electro
telegraphy a failure, railroading u fail
ure, but now the chief successes of the
world.
“But,” says some one, “why talk of
surplus being put by laborers into eo-
nperative associations when tin vast
imiltitudc of tolieis of this country uro
strugidiiig for their daily bread and
liiiw* no surplus?” I reply, put into my
liuml the iMiney spent by the laboring
clussctt of America for rum utul to
bacco, and I will establish co-operative
associations in all ' rt of lids laud,
some of them migii^r than any finan
cial Institutions of the country. We
spend in this country over SbXUXXLLKH)
every year for tobacco. We ; pend over
M.-'bO.OOO.ono directly or indirectly for
rum. The laboring classes spend their
share of this money. Now, suppose the
laboring man who lias been expending
his money in those directions should
Just smIiI up how much he has ex
pended during these past few years, i
and then suppose that that money was
put into n co-operative association, and
then suppose lie should have all his [
friends in toil, who had made the same |
kind of expenditure, do tin* same thing, i
and that should lie added up and put
into a co-operative n;*ocintio». And
then take all that money expended for
overdress and overstyle and overiiv- |
lug on the part of toiling people in
order that they may appear as well as
persons who nve more income gather ,
that all up and you could have co
operative associations till over this
land.
Trmleu Union*.
1 am not saying anything now about
trades unions. You want to know what
1 think of trades unions. I think they |
are most beneficial lu some directions, j
and they have a specific object, and in
tliis day, when there are vast monopo
lies a thousand monopolies concen
trating the wealth of the people into
the possession of a few men-unless
the laboring men of this country and
all countries bund together they will
go under. There is a lawf 1 use of a
trade union. If it means sympathy in
time of sickness, if it means tinding
work for people when they are out of
work, if it means the improvement of
the finaneial, the moral or tin* religious
condition of the laboring class* s, that
is ail right. Do not arlisis band to
gether in an art union? Do not singers
band together in Handel and lladjn
societies? Do not newspaper men band
together in press clubs? Do not min
isters of religion band log* ihi r in con
ferences and associations? '1 hero is
not in till tl>*‘ land a city where clergy
men *lo not come together, many of
them once a week, to talk over afiairs.
For these reasons yon should not
blame labor guilds. \\ lieu they are
doing their legitimate work, they are
most admirable, but when they come
around with drum and life and flag
from their scaffoldings, from their fac
tories, then they are nihilistic, then
tlu-y are eoiniiuiiiistie, then they are
barbaric, then they are a curse. If a
man wants to stop work, let him stop
work, but he cannot slop me from
work.
But now suppose that ail the laboring
classes banded together for beneficent
purposes in co-operative association,
under whatever name tiny put their
means together. Suppose they take
the money that they waste in rum and
tobacco and use it for th * elevation
of their families, for the * iucation < f
their children, for their moral, bit F
lectual and religious improvement,
what a different state of things we
would have in this country and they
would have in (Sroat Britain!
Do you not realize tin; 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 v.;tii
i many anxieties ami exhausting work ; ’
; 1 would deny them nothing that is
good for them. 1 would deny them
I strong drink, if I had the power, be-
I cause It is damaging to them. My
J father said: “I became a temperance
I man In early life because i found that
In the harvest iield, while I was natu-
I rally weaker than the other men, 1
could hold out longer than any of
then. They took stimulant and 1 took
mine.”
Everybody knows they cannot en
dure great fatigue men who indulge
In stimulants. All our young men un
derstand that. When they are prepar
ing for tin* regatta, or the ball club, or
the athletic wrestling, they abstain
from strong drink. Now, suppose all
this money that is wasted were gath
ered together and pm into co operativo
Institutions. Oh, we would have a very
different state of tilings from what wo
have now.
Pructlct* Ccouomy.
I remark again, the laboring classes
of tills country are to And great relief
when they learn, all of them learn,
forecast and providence. Vast num
bers of them put down their Income
aud they put down their expenses, ami
if the income meets the expenses that
Is all that la necessary. I know labor
ing men who are lu a perfect Adgct
until they have spent their last dollar.
They Ay around everywhere until they
get It spent. A case came under my
observation where a young man was
receiving $700 a year and earned it by
very hard work. The marriage d.i>
came. The bride bad received $500 as
an Inheritance from her grandfather.
She put the $500 in wedding equip
ment. Then the twain hired two
rooms on the third story. Then lids
man. who had most arduous employ
ment, just as much as he could possi
bly endure. g*>t evening employim nt
so lie could earn a few dollars more
and by this extra evening employ
ment almost extinguished his eye
sight. 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
If he should die Ills wife would not
be a pauper? No. It was for tin* one
purpose of getting Ids wife a $15')
sealskin sacquc. I am Just giving >ou
a fact I know. The sister of this wo
man, although she was a very poor
girl, was not to be eclipsed, and so
she went to work day and night ami
toiled and toiled aud toiled almost in
to the grave until site got a si.io seal
skin sacquc! Well, the news vent
abroad all through the street. Most
of the people on that street w* tv ia
boring, hard working people, and tin y
were not to he outshone in tills way,
and they all went to work In tin* :;ime
direction and practicaily said, though
not literally, "Though the heavens fall,
we must have u sealskin sacquc!”
A clergyman in Iowa told me that
ills church and the entire neighbor
hoo<l had been ruined by the fact that
the people mortgaged their farms *’•
order to go down to the I'ldladelphia
Centennial in ISTfl. First, one family
would go, then another family, nml
fluully it was not respectable not to go
to Hi** Centennial at ,^’lillndcljdiin. and
they mortgaged their farms. The
church ami Hie neighborhood ruined
lu that way. Now, between such fools
und pauperism there Is only a very
pbort step. In time of pwuco prcpaio
for war. In time of prosperity prepare
for adversity. Yet how many there
.re who drive on the verge of the
precipice, ami at the least touch of ac
cident *>r sickness over they go. Ah,
my friends, it is not right, it is not
honest! He that provideth not for ids
own, end especially those of Ida own
household, is worse tliati an infidel. A
man has no right to live in luxury and
have all comforts nml ail brightness
around him, tailing Ids family with
him at that iate--everything bright,
ami beautiful and luxurious until lie
stumhh s against a tombstone and fulls
in. ami they all go to tin* poorhouse.
'1 hat is not coiiininti honesty. 1 am no
advocate of skinflint saving. 1 abhor
it. But I plead for Christian provi
dence.
Sa vinu* Hu uk*.
Some of the* older persons remem
ber very well Abraham Van Nest of
New York, one of its Christian mer
chants. lie was often called mean
because he calculated so closely. Why |
did lie calculate closely? That lie |
might have the more to give. 'Flier*; j
was not a Bible society or a tract so- i
doty or a reformatory institution in I
the city of New York but he had ids ;
hand in supporting it. He denied
himself many luxuries that lie might
give to others the necessities. He lias
been many years reaping Ins re ward in
heaven, but I shall never forget the
day w hen I. a green country lad, came
to his house and spent the evening,
and at the close of the evening, as 1
was departing, he accompanied me to
tin; door, accompanied me to the steps,
came down off the steps and said;
“Here, De Wilt, is $10 for books. Don’t
any anything about it.” It is mean or
it is magnificent to save, according as
you save for a good or bad object.
I know there an* many people who
have much to say against savings
banks and life insurances. 1 have to
tell you that tin; vast majority of the j
humesleads in this country have beeu
ilie result of such institutions, and 1
have to tell you also that the vast ma
jority of the homesteads of the future
for the labeling classes will be the
result of such institutions. It will be
a gnat day for tin; working classes of
Fugland and tin* I’nited States when
the workingman can buy a barrel of
flour instead of flour by the small
sack; when he can buy a barn;! of
sugar Instead of sugar by the pound;
when In* can pay cash for coats and
iiats aud shoes ratlu r than pay an ad
ditional amount for the reason that lie
has to get it all eliarg* d.
Again 1 remark: Ureat 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 contkleue*..*.
I can see very easily, looking from my
slnndpoint, what is the mutter. Em
ploye' s, seeing tin; employer in seem
ing prosperity, do not know till the
s:rails, all the hardships, all the hiss
es, all the annoyances. They look at
him, an ! they think, "Why, ho lias it
easy, and we have if. hard.” They Jo
not know that at that very moment
tin; employer Is at the last point of des
peration to meet his engagements.
I know a gentleman very well who
has over l.'ibU hands in his employ.
I said to him some .Years ago when
there was great trouble in the labor
market, “iiow are you getting on with
your ni**n?” “Oil,” lie said, “l have no
trouble!” “Why.” 1 said, "have not
you had any strikes?” “Oh. uo!” tie
said. “I never laid any trouble.”
"What plan do you pursue?” lie said:
“l will tell you. All my men know ev
ery year just how matters stand. Ev
ery lit lie while 1 call them together
and say: ‘Now, boys, last year 1 made
so much. Tills year l made less. So
you see 1 camml pay you as much us 1
did last year. Now, I want to know
what you think l ought to have us a
percentage out of this establishment
nml what wages 1 ought to give you.
You know i put all my energy In this
business, put all my fortune in it and
risked everything. What do you real
ly think 1 ought to have and you
ought to have?’ By the time wc come
out of that consultation we are unani
mous. There has never been an excep
tion. When we prosper, we all pros
per together. Win n we suffer, we all
suffer together, and my men would
die for me.” Now, let nil employers be
frank with their employees. Take
them Into your confidence. Let them
know just how matters stand. There
Is an immense amount of common
sense in th** world. It Is always safe
to appeal to it.
To (he CnitKallaf.
I rotnaik again: Great relief will
come to the laboring classes of thrt
country through tin* religions reetitlca-
lion of it. Labor is honored and re
ward' 1 in proportion as a community
is b’hristianizcd. Why is it that our
sniaihst coin in this country is a pen
ny, while lu China it takes a half
dozen pieces <>f coin or a dozen to
make one of our pennies in value, so
! the Chinese carry toe cash, as they
I coll it. like a siiiug of beads around
th** neck? We never want 1»> pay less
than a p,.nny for anything in this
country. Tiny must pay that which
is worth only the sixth part or the
iweliih part of a penny. Heathenism
and iniquity and iuiidelity depress ev
erything. ’in** gospel of Jesus Christ
elevates everything. Iiow do I ac
count lor this? I account for it with
the plainest philosophy. The religion
of Jesus Christ is a democratic re
ligion. It ti lls tlie employer that lie
is a brother to all the operatives in tlio
men In
you at
I oon-
cstalilishmoiit made by the Mime God,
to lie in tin* satin* dust an 1 to be saved
by tli** same supreme mercy. It does
not make tin* slightest difference how
much mon* y you have, you cannot buy
your way into the kingdom of heaven,
if >on have tin* grace of God in your
heart, you will enter heaven.
Let me say a word to all capitalists.
Be your own executors. Make invest
ments for eternity. Do not be like
some of th ise capitalists 1 know who
walk around among their employees
with a supercilious air or drive up to
the factory in a manner which seems
to indieu'e tiny are llu* mi to* rut of
the universe, with the sun ami moon
lu their vest pockets, chiefly anxious
when tbey i,o among lahoiing men not
to hi* touched by the greasy or smirch
ed hand ami have th ir broadcloth lu-
jured. Be a Christian employer. Ue-
ineiuher those who arc under your
charge an; bone of your l.oue and liosli
of your fle-li; that J*sys Christ died
for them and that they are immortal.
Divide up your estates or portions of
them for tin* relief of the world before
you leave it. Do not go out of the
world like that man who died in New
York, leaving In Ids will $lO.OOO.OtX),
yet giving bow nincli for the church of
God. liow^nmch for tin* alleviation of
linninii suffer lug? He gave some mon
ey a. little while before lie died. Tint
vas well, but lu all this will of $h!,-
OOO.OOO how much? One niilliou? No.
Five i mud re* I thousand? No. One
hundred dollars? No. Two cents?
No. One cent? No. These great
cities groaning in anguish, nations cry
ing out for the bread of everlasting
life. A man in a will giving forty
millions of dollars and not one cent to
God. It Is a disgrace to our civiliza
tion. or, as illustrated in a letter
which 1 have concerning a man who
departed this life, leaving between
live and eight millions of dollars. Not
one dollar was left, tins writer says, to
comfort tin* aged work men and work
women. not one dollar to elevate and
Instruct flic hundreds of pale children
who stifled their childish growth In
tlie lieajt ami clamor of his factory. Is
it strange that the curse of the chil
dren of toil follows such Ingratitude?
How well could one of ids many mil
lions have been disbursed for the pres
ent and the future benefit of those
whose hands had woven literally the
fabric of the dead man’s princely for
tune. Oh, capitalists of the United
States, lie your own executors. Be a
George Beabody, if need be, on a small
settle. God has made you a steward.
Discharge your responsibility.
A Word to I.nltor.
My word Is to till laboring
this country: 1 congratulate
your brightening prospects,
gratuiato you on the fact that you arc
getting your representatives at Al
bany, at Harrisburg aud at Washing
ton. I have only to mention such a
man of the past ns Henry Wilson, the
shoemaker; as Andrew Johnson, the
tailor; as Abraham Lincoln, the boat
man. The living illustrations easily
occur to you. This will go on until
you will have representatives at all
tin* headquarters, and yon will have
full justice.
I congratulate you also on your op
portunities of information. Biato paid
$1.3d0 for two liooks. Jerome ruined
himself Unanelally by buying one vol
ume of Origen. What vast opportuni
ties for intelligence for you ami your
children. A working man goes along
by the show window of some great
publishing house, aud lit* sees a book
that costs $5. lb* says: “1 wish I could
have that information. I wish I could
raise $5 for that costly und beautiful
book ” A few months pass oil, and he
gets the value of that book for 23
cents In a pamphlet. There never was
such a day for the workingmen of
America as this day ami the day that
Is coming.
I also congratulate you because your
work is only prefatory ;.i)d introducto
ry. You want the grace of Jesus
Christ, the carpenter of Nazareth. Ib*
toiled himself, and he* knows how to
sympathize with all who toil. Get ids
grace in your heart, and you can sing
on the scaffolding amid the storm, ! ii
ike shop shoving the plane, in the mine
plunging the crowbar, on shipboard
climbing the ratlines, lb* will make
the drops of sweat on your brow glit
tering pearls for the eternal coronet.
Aro you tired, lie will rest you. Are
you sick, ho will give you help. Ari
you cold, lie will wrap yon in the man
tle of ids love. Who are they before
the throne? “Ah," you say, “their
hands were never calloused with toil.”
Yes, they were. You say, “Their feet
were never blistered witli the long
Journey.” Yes, 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 tlie blood of the Lamb.’’ That for
every Christian workingman and for
every Christian working woman will b*
the beginning of etc nml holiday.
