t i •• ■MIPI ■ T TALMAGE SERMON * By Rev. FRANK DC WITT TALMAGE. D.D., Paator of Jefferaon Park Preaby- terian Church, Chicago Chlcngo, Sopt. 14.—Friendly counsel to both parties in the unhappy labor struggle in the mining regions is of fered by Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage In this sermon on the text Luke x, 27, “Thou shall love thy neighbor ns thy self." A startling telegram was lying upon my desk as I sat down to write this sermon. It was direct information, j|?nt to one of the Chicago newspapers, and It read: “Fifty thousand employees of Pittsburg’s mills and factories face i loss of work through a famine in fuel us a result of the prolonged miners’ -strike. Coal and coke stacks are near ly exhausted. It is asserted that some of the largest plants will be forced to close In a few days.” Terrible is the suffering which is be ing caused in the little towns and vil lages where the Pennsylvania miners live. A lady who just left the village of Shiekshinny, which is situated in the heart of the coal region, told me that there the men and the women ^nd the children were practically starv ing. Even the dogs, gaunt and hag gard, were running through the streets like famished wolves. More serious to / the national welfare is it to think that / hundreds of thousands and even mil lions of men, women and children all over the east are being indirectly af fected on account of tlds miners’ strike In addition to those who directly earn .Jhelr daily wages in the mines. But the social disturbances attending the Pennsylvania strike of 1902 are no worse than the Pullman strike of 1894, when the troops had to be ordered out and the lire bells ceased ringing lest they should summon together a crowd of starving men and women. Then President Cleveland sent the United States troops to clear the tracks for the mails, and the Gatling guns were unllmbered and made ready to “shoot to kill.” The present disturbance is no worse than the famous Homestead strike of 1892, when the Pinkerton men guarded the works night and day and ; when II. C. Frick, the superintendent, I was nearly murdered, and the strike of this year and those of 1894 and 1892 are as mere bagatelles compared to the awful railroad strike of 1878, when every great city—north, east and west —was terrorized and when human blood was being daily shed. Capital and L<nlior. The troubles between capital and la bor on account of the strike are no worse here than in foreign lands. John Burns, the labor leader and a member of the present British parlia ment, told me that during the famous London dock strikes of a few years ago the men under ids leadership were so pressed by hunger that at times they became almost uncontrollable. It was only by the most level headed leader ship that anarchy and riot were avert ed. One day he saw a large crowd of strikers assembled together. There werb murmurings and curses uttered upon every side. He heard an anarch ist in a nearby wagon pleading with the strikers to end their hunger by the torch and the murderer’s weapon. Then John Burns, the labor leader, cried out in a loud voice: “Stand back, men! Stand back and let me pass!” The men stood back. John Burns passed through the opened lines until he came to the wagon and climbed up. Then he turned and said: "Men, you know I am your friend. You know my wife and children and myself are suffering . hardship, just as you are. But, men, If you will hold out a little longer in this strike you will surely win—not, however, in the way my anarchistic friend wants you to hold out. He says for you to use the anarchist’s torch and the murderer’s dagger; he says to use that means which will surely tie the hangman’s noose about your neck •• and turn the artilleryman’s guns upon your homes. Is he willing to do what he wants us to do?” With that John Burns took a daily newspaper out of his pocket, twisted It up as a torch, struck a match and lighted It. Then he turned to the anarchist and said, “Now, friend, take that torch and burn yonder building if you dare.” The man’s face became as white as death. “Then,” said John Burns, “I lifted my fist and knocked him down as a butch er might fell an ox. With ’my foot I thrust him out of that wagon as though he were a mad dog, frothing at the mouth, trying to bite my heel.” Strikes among the bricklayers, strikes among the freight men, strikes among the builders, strikes among the sewing girls, strikes up and down this land in every direction. Strikes in times of financial prosperity. Strikes in times of panic. What are the causes of all these strikes? The object of this ser mon is to try to adduce some reasons for the labor agitations, present and past, and to show capital and labor that each has selfishly erred and sin ned. My object is also to show that if the employers, ns well as the employees, would equally live by the Golden Rule and love their neighbors ns themselves an era of national ns well as individ ual prosperity, both financial and spir itual, would result such as the world has never seen. Chanired Social Condltlona. Capital has sinned and helped to cause the present social agitation be cause it has censed to make the la borers’ lnt( rest Its own Interest The present social conditions prevailing be tween capital and labor could not have existed fifty or a hundred years ago. In olden times the employer associated with his employees. The small factory towns of England nearly always had the manufacturer’s homestead within a stone's throw of the men and women who worked in his factory. The result was that if a workman had sickness in his family he could go to his em ployer and get financial help. If he was in trouble and did not know what to do, he could go to his employer and get advice. If be was an honest, ener getic employee, he could always feel that his employer’s eye was upon him and that he would be deservedly re warded. And if he did wrong the workman also knew that his employ er's eye was upon him and that he would suffer accordingly. The result was that the manufacturer’s mansion and the mechanic’s cottage were in such close touch that the owners look ed upon e ich other as brothers and members t f a large family, in which the employer was the elder brother, or head of the house. Employer and employee in olden times used to live together in a com munity in the same confidential rela tionship that Andrew Jackson held to ward the people of his plantation. One night at evening prayers the wife of his overseer happened to enter the room. Mrs. Jackson beckoned to her to come and sit by her side. An im portant national official, visiting there at the time, turned to one of the friends and asked, “Does Mrs. Jackson treat all her employees as courteously as that?” “Yes,” answered the friend, “and If Mrs. Jackson had not done as she did the general would have arisen and given to the woman his own chair.” But though the relations in olden times between the employer and the employee may have been very friendly and fraternal, I do not believe that the heart of the capitalist today is natu rally any less kind and loving and helpful than that of his predecessor. I believe that most of the trouble be tween the employer and the employee is directly attributable not, as many suppose, to the capitalist’s hardness of heart, but to the infinite misfortune that now the employer rarely if ever comes in direct touch with his em ployee. By the time the capitalist’s money, which lie gives for labor, reaches the employee the money ns well as ail the sweets that ought naturally to come as a result of that labor is scattered right and left. The superintendent who can run the mill or foundry at the lowest cost gets the biggest salary. The big officers of the trusts get their millions. The little men, who do the hard work, receive pittances wldch are hardly enough to allow them to eke out a bare physical existence. The capital ist ought to see that the money he pays for labor reaches the men who work and that It is not lost on the way to their pockets. ProNperity MnM lie Shared. Men and women of the capitalistic class, these labor agitations and trou bles will never be settled until you are willing to share your prosperity with those who are working for you so faithfully to make a living. The labor troubles will never be settled until a man willing to work can earn enough money not only to care for his chil dren while he is alive, but to fit them for becoming self supporting after he is dead. Hunger Is demoralizing; it is mad dening when it is witnessed driving its fangs into those a man loves. Howso ever honest a man may be, his princi ples are in danger of failing if ids wife and children through no fault of his are starving. 1 heard of one case that must be typical of the impulses of many who are controlling them with difficulty. It occurred a few years ago, when the silver mines of the west were closed down. A man walked in to the village store and drew a pistol. Then he flung a bag of flour across his shoulder as he pointed his revolver at the men, saying: “When I could find work, I w f as always willing to work, and then I paid my bills. But now’ I cannot find work, and my babies are starving. I am going to get them something to eat. 1 am going to take this flour home. If any man tries to stop me, I will put a hole through his heart.” That may be anarchy, but that will be the anarchy this country will have to face if the time ever comes when the laboring classes can not earn enough to buy their daily bread. The world does not owe a lazy, good for nothing loafer any lodgings better than the poorhouse or the coun ty jail when he is alive or any burial place better than a grave In the pot ter’s field when he is dead, but the world does owe every honest, faithful man who is willing to work the op portunity to work, and, furthermore, capital does owe this to Its employees —when the good times come and capi tal prospers then wages should be in creased and labor should prosper also. “Now,” answers some capitalist, “you are advocating a lot of high sounding nonsense. You are practical ly saying that every capitalist should become a philanthropist. He should turn his business into a co-operative concern and let his employees share as much as possible in his wealth. That does not go in business. Religion and business, like oil and w’ater, do not mix. Business is not run upon the principle of the Golden Rule, but upon the law of supply and demand. We hire where w r e can hire the cheapest so we con manufacture the cheapest. We sell where we can sell the dearest. We moke all the money we can. Then, if we want to be philanthropists and not business men, we give away as much as we please.” Mix Gospel With Baalneaa. My capitalistic friend, your state ments are wrong. The gospel and busi ness do financially mix well. The cap italist who practices the Golden Rule in business and lets his employees share in his prosperity will “win out” every time. What was the history of George W. Childs? There never was a man who received happier financial re mits from practicing the Golden Rule than did he. When Mr. Childs, a young man. took hold of the Philadel phia Ledger, it was a financial failure. All employees of that concern were placed upon the lowest possible wages. The trusted men were deserting at ev ery possible chance and finding other places. What did George W. Childs do? He gathered his new employees about him and practically said: “Men, 1 cannot pay you much in the begin ning, but I promise you one thing—as I prosper you shall prosper. Further more, when any of you become dis abled by advancing years from w’ork I will pension you for life, so that you can live in ease and support your chil dren. If you will be true to me, I will be true to you. We shall go up to gether or go down together. I will consider the Ledger staff a big family, and as far as possible I shall find my future head men from those who are now working in the ranks.” Did the Golden Rule mean a failure in George W. Childs’ life? As soon as the new employees heard the ringing words of their chief they went to work with a will. The subscription list of the Philadelphia Ledger doubled and trebled and quadrupled. Why? Be cause w’hen George W. Childs pros pered the employees knew that they would prosper also. Because of their own prosperity as well ns of his they worked as they never worked before. Those employees made thousands of dollars for themselves. They made millions upon millions of dollars for Mr. Childs. The magnificent results from practicing the Golden Rule In the Philadelphia Ledger can be dupli cated in every other big business cor poration in any part of the world. But the trouble with most capitalists of the present day Is that they refuse to do as Mr. Childs did. They shirk their individual responsibility. As your moneys are collected into a great trust or corporation and you only hold a few shares you say you are not responsi ble for what the whole concern may do. You are like the members of an execution squad who have been de tailed to shoot a spy caught within the military lines. You say no one individ ual is responsible for the execution, be cause twenty-five bullets Instead of one strike the doomed man’s heart, but every capitalist who lias his money in vested in a corporation where starva tion salaries are being paid to its em ployees is responsible for the damage that his money helps to do. He is re sponsible if child labor be engaged in his factory. He is responsible if men and women, on account of his indiffer ence, go to their mental and physical and perhaps spiritual doom. He is his brother’s keeper in so far as that he is bound to see that the man whose toll adds to his wealth has fair wages. Can*** of Social Upheaval. But the laboring classes ns well as the capitalists have sinned and helped to cause the present social upheaval. The employee is not any more a saint than his employer. They both at times seem to be tarred with the same black stick. Yet the average laboring man pretends to think that all the cause for the present social upheaval is to be laid at the rich man’s door and not at his own. In his own blind egotism he seems to be almost as contented with himself and his actions as was the old Quaker, grumbling against the peculiarities of the human race, when he said to his wife, “All the world is queer except me and thee, Mary, and thou art a little queer.” Do the laboring classes always make their employer’s interest their own in terest? Oh, no. There are thousands and hundreds of thousands of them who show little, if any, sense of moral responsibility. When engaging their services to a man, they do not for one instant stop to consider the money which that employer has invested in his plant. They do not stop to think of the financial risk he is running, of the seven years of financial depression which may come to him when he may have to run his works at a practical dead loss, as when the seven years of famine came to Joseph in the land of Egypt. They do not seem to realize that when they shirk their work they are stealing their employer’s money, for time means money. The different labor associations, like the Bricklayers’ union, the Stone Cut ters’, the Carpenters and Builders’, the Steam Fitters’, Gas Fitters’ and Plumbers’ unions, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, of Firemen, Brakemen and Conductors, all have their beneficent mission. They ought to benefit capital as well as labor. They ought to be the means of putting through the different state legislatures laws to prevent the employment of children, to limit the hours of labor and to prevent flagrant •injustices against their members. But the work of the modern labor union does not stop there. It often goes to the capi talist and tries to dictate what men he shall or shall not employ. It goes to the capitalists and says: “You must look upon every one of our members ns an equal and pay all alike. You must pay Just as much daily wages to the ordinary worker as to the skilled worker.” Or the labor union goes to the capitalist who is paying satisfac tory wages and whose employees are all contented and says: “Mr. So-and-so, we have got to call your men off on a sympathetic strike. We cannot make your neighbors pay the union rate. Therefore we shall stop work until the pressure compels your neighbors to yield.” “Well,” answers some walking dele gate, “that Is an exaggerated Illustra tion, but uniform wages to all union workers and, when necessary, sympa thetic strikes are absolutely indispen sable in their way, and we are only following the example of capitalists and employers in making such combi nations. We must look after the Inter ests of the laboring man and keep our labor unions Intact. It is only by the cooperation of one union, fighting for the Interests of other labor unions, that ths pressure Is applied and our reasonable demands are granted. The laboring man cannot practice the Gold en Rule of looking after the interests of his employer or else he will starve to death. The first thought the labor ing man must have is for himself, and himself alone.” Mutual Trunt. My laboring friend, if you cannot reach the high Christian standard of loving your employer as you would love yourself, you are simply heading tow’ard the social economic wilderness. The greatest inspiration for future na tional prosperity is not to be found in the gold bricks which are stored away in the vaults of our national banks; it is in the mutual trust which the capi talistic and laboring classes ought to have in each other. If the average business firm could not trust Its cus tomers or was in such condition that the wholesale business houses could not trust it, that average business house would be wrecked within thirty days. The amount of money which is in circulation today is as nothing when compared to the billions upon billions of dollars’ worth of business done in America every year. I was once told by a keen, shrewd business man that at least 98 per cent of all business is done upon trust—upon the promise to pay or to do. Now, if the capitalist cannot trust the laborer; if he feels that at any time a walking delegate might come into his establishment and command his men to cease work on account of some un reasonable demand, what does he do? Why, he naturally and widely solilo quizes: “I cannot trust the labor mar ket. If I should invest my money in a plant, my men may go out on a strike. Then I will be left high and dry with my property upon my hands, like a horse kept in the stable ‘eating his head off.’ I will not risk ray $150,- 000. I will buy government bonds or real estate first mortgages and take life easy.” What is the result? Why, this rich man builds no factory, as he would have done, and masons, carpen ters, gas fitters and the plumbers lose the contracts they w’ould have had up on that building, and a great number of men and women w’ho might have worked there go without steady em ployment. Then the commercial trav elers and the merchants who would have been able to sell goods of that factory cannot sell them because the goods are not made, and the people who might have worked in those fac tories have earned no money with which to buy. Such evils are often a direct result of that capitalist refusing to build that one factory because of his distrust of labor. It is a wrong dis trust and arises from blunders and lack of sympathy on both sides. All these evils accrue from the fact that neither the capitalist nor the laboring man will practice the Golden Rule and love his neighbor as himself. The Dove of Peace. As a student of social economics I have carefully studied the prevailing conditions in Chicago during the years in which I have lived in the Queen City of the West. During the last five years scores of manufacturers have left our city and have transplanted their factories into the little towns far away from the labor centers because they could not trust the laboring classes. Thus the white winged dove of peace today brings a practical gospel mes sage to the capitalist and the laborer alike. She brings the same kind of practical help as the falcon of chivalric times did to his master. This knight, being very thirsty, would have drunk from a poisoned well. Again and again when his master lifted the cup tilled with the deadly water to ids lips the powerful wing of the falcon smote it out of his hand. At last the soldier examined the brook and found it filled with the waters of death. So the white wing of the gospel dove of peace would knock the chalice of selfish sin from the white hand of the capitalist as well as from the horny hand of toil. Rich men, are you ready to have the words of my text translated and brought home to your hearts? Are you ready to cease lifting up the golden chalice of selfish sin? Are you ready to be changed so that your lives may become a blessing, like those of Peter Cooper and William E. Dodge and Baron Hirsch and Montefiore? If you are, then you will look upon your mon ey as a gift from God for the helping of mankind. One of our presidents defined public office as a public trust. Your possessions you should regard as a sacred trust, held not for your own gratification or indulgence, but for the glory of God and the benefit of hu manity. If you are ready for the les sons of the text, then you are ready to say: “Here is my money which God lias given to me. By this money I can give many men employment and pay them sufficient wages whereby they can build comfortable homes. I can surround them with books and instru ments of music. I can make it possi ble for them, with the advantages I shall give them, to develop their boys and girls into good men and good wom en.” Capitalists, are you ready to do that? Workers, are you ready to feel that you can never be true to your em ployers and give to them the best serv ice unless you do all in your power to develop your physical, mental and spir itual lives? Are yon ready to say, “I will work and be true to my earthly employer because I am ready to work and be true to my Heavenly King?” If you are both equally ready to surren der your lives to the Influence of the Golden Rule, then the words of my text will have accomplished their mis sion upon earth. Then the dark, wide, yawning, fathomless gulf between the employers and employees shall be bridged over by the straight beam of the cross. Then this land shall see its greatest era of temporal and spiritual prosperity. Then the millennium shall be ushered In. Then the capitalist and the laborer shall clasp hands ns Chris tian brothers.

The Importance of Drainage—Points on DalldlnK Earth Hoads—When and How to Grade—How to Improve Sand IliKhways. At certain seasons of the year earth roads can be made second to none, but at other seasons they are almost im passable, writes A. J. Sager in the Vicksburg (Mich.) Herald. Can any thing reasonable be done to improve the average earth road either in its most favorable or its worst condition? The object of this article is to offer some suggestions as an answer to this question. Drainage is the most important sub ject to be considered in the construc tion of earth roads. No road, whether earth or stone, can long remain good without drainage. Drainage alone will often change a bad earth road to.a good one, and the best road may be de stroyed by the absence of proper drain age. Many if not most country high ways could lie considerably improved by thorough subdrainage. Most people appear to think that the sole object of drainage Is to remove the surface wa ter. but this is only a small part of the object of underdrainage of roads. The most important object of under draining is to lower the water level in the soil. The action of the sun and the breeze will finally dry the surface of the road, but if the foundation is soft and spongy the road becomes worn full of uneven places. The first showers fill those depressions with wa ter, and the road is soon a mass of mud. A good road cannot be main tained unless it has a good foundation, and an undrained soil is a poor foun dation, while u dry soil will support almost any load. All roads except those on pure sand can be materially improved by tile drainage, but I would not advise tile being used except where underdrain- age is required. Gravel or broken stone placed upon an undrained foundation is almost sure to sink gradually, what ever its thickness, whereas a thinner layer upon an underdrained roadbed will give much better service. Road tiles without gravel are better than roads graveled without tile. The best tool to smooth the road grade with early in the spring is a light drag, used while the frost is com ing out. The road should be scraped lightly with the road machine as soon us it is settled, and heavy grading should lie done early in the spring while the ground is soft. The road should not be rounded up or scraped heavily late in the summer or in the fall, for then the earth thrown up in the center will not unite with the foundation, even after being rolled, unless the fall is an unusually wet one. The proper crown can be easily and cheaply obtained by the use of the road machine or grader. After the roadbed has been rounded with the grader, if it has been drawn by teams it should be rolled with as heavy a roll er as is available. If the grader is drawn by a traction engine, the large wheels will compact the earth better than any roller obtainable in the coun try, and the engine will save the strength of the horses. Roads on pure sand or nearly pure sand require very different treatment from roads on clay or loam. The [ire- ceding rules for the drainage of loam and clay roads must be reversed for sand roads. Wet sand makes a better road than dry sand, and therefore draining a sand road is useless and possibly a damage. Of course this is not true of quicksand, ns described in the first of the article, but there is very little if any of that found in sand roads. Roads on quicksand are im proved by draining. Sand roads are usually nearly level and need little if any grading. They should not lie crowned, since they do not need surface drainage. The trav eled portion should be simply leveled off. The great disadvantage of pure sand as a road material is the freedom with which the grains move one on the other. Therefore to improve a sand road encourage grass to occupy all the space possible. The roots will decrease the movement of the sand under the tread of the hoofs and wheels. It is an advantage if vegetation oc cupies the surface clear up to the trav eled way—both for the shade and for the binding effect of the roots. Shade harms a loam or clay road, but im proves a road of sand or broken stone, since it prevents the evaporation of the moisture from the roadbed. There fore a sand road can be permanently improved by planting trees so as to shade the traveled way. They will prevent in part the drying effect of the winds as well as intercept the rays of the sun. Making Encnuruitlnic Proirrea*. Good things come slowly, we are told, and good roads have been a lag gard of tl»e laggards, and even now, considering the light that has been shed on them and in comparison with what ought to be, road improvement can hardly bo said to be doing more than pegging along, says the Bingham ton (N. Y.) Leader. But It lias made a good start, and if It does not move with the velocity of a falling body it Is making the most encouraging progress. Good Road* Ilcnoflt All. That good roads pay there can bo no doubt. All classes in a community are sharers In the benefit, and the market value of real estate is increased from 15 to 20 per cent as against bad roads. The destructive agencies of good roads are mainly water and narrow wagon tires, and for this reason perfect drain age and the use of broad tires are im perative. A GREAT MISTAKE. •Judglcg the Value of an Ad. by a Single Insertion. I The American Press.] IS is the mistake of one’s lifetime to think that he can prove the virtue of advertising by mere trial of it for a singls time. Results are not reached by a single effort. Nor does one swallow prove that spring is here. The convincing of men, the bring ing over of others to one’s views, comes only of persistent effort. Men are not variable, like the winds; neither are they uncertain, like the weather. They have ideas ol their own, and it is needful that they be won in order to be conquered. If one might feel the bite of a fish just as quickly as his hook sank into the water, soon all the’fish would disap pear from the seas, and none would be left to be caught. Success in advertising comes pre cisely as success in fishing and iu every serious matter of life—through patience, perseverance and a deter mined purpose to succeed. One might try the same advertising medium a half dozen times without success, and the seventh effort might result in returns richly compensative. He who ‘ lays down” quickly in the advertising line is not likely to succeed. It is the man who holds on with tooth and nail persistently, who will not let go, but stays despite silence or rebuff—it is such a man who increases largely his bank ac count and who wins out against com petitors.
