Written for the Oot'RANT-Amkrioaw. The Moral Use of Wealth. BY THOMAS L. AHNOI.iI, M. D. “Ifail Englihinan’s hell in not to Vie making money,' ns Carlvslo so savagely assert*d, the American people, under similar conditions, suffer the same tor ment. Every avenue of business is now overcrowded, and the race for money goes on with unparalleled sj>eed, while the higher edueatiorml. judicial and clerical professions, which are com paratively underpaid, are neglected. The fact that a busineb* cm ter is more easily entered upon than any other, that its liighei prizes are so great and com parative wealth so easily won, and that social and political preferment are so largely conditional upon the possession of a large fortune, attracts to a life of mere money-making thousands of young men whose abilities are tar more nw ded in the higher professions. While the pursuit of wealth is one of the conditions of the nation’s proejierity., is liable to the penalty of promoting materialistic views of life, inordinate love of gain among individuals and a habit of meatiness in the ordinary a flairs of life. Avarice, greed of gain and miser ly hoarding or misuse of wealth, are the penalties the race pays for its thrift. That these are very serious j*malt£es,' having a disastrous influence upon na tional as well as upon individual charac ter, is sufficiently clear. Nature always avenges herself upon .the miser bv nar rowing his vision of life, dulling his sen sibilities, and usually brings his family to beggary at the end of three or lour generations. In the wider sphere of national life the effect of avarice is seen in slow progress of art, literature and religion, and in what M. Kenan and Mathew Arnold have both lamented as the condition of the middle classes of England and the 1 ci ted States—their intellectual mediocrity, their vulgarity of manners, their super ficial spirit, their lack of general intelli gence. Such national defects can only be renewed by the voluntary enlistment of individual wealth in the cause of educa tion and religion. It is encouraging, therefore, to note signs that are passing out of tlie mate rialistic stage of progress, and that men of inherited or amassed wealth are dis posed to use money for the promotion of great educational or religions plans. It has not been unusual for this to be done by bequest at the close of life, but it is rare that a young man has chosen to signalize if is accession to a fortune by a munificent gift like that above noted. The return in tlie way r of personal satis faction in having promoted the success of a noble cause will prooably be greater than could have been found in any other way. The field for the moral use of wealth is unlimited, in this country re ligious institutions are entirely depend ent upon the voluntary contributions of chiistian men and women. So are the higher schools of learning, and for the most part charitable and benevolent in stitutions. Science and art also have le gitimate claims upon private wealth. It must be said that these demands have been nobly met. Millions are given every year for themaintenaneeof these various objects, not under the compulsion of a State tax, but as the voluntary offering of faith in their usefulness. Probably there is no other chapter in the history of this country than that w hich records the contribution of American citizens to the cause of education, religion and phi lanthropy. It has proved that such in stitutions stand upon the best footing when emancipated from State control and allowed to rest upon religious faith and the*love of man, for mankind. Cn der the influence of this system not onls churches, but college libraries, and mu seums of art, are springing- up in every needed place, and when a man of great wealth dies, he is thought to have done a discreditable thing unless he has left a bequest to somecliaritable institution or educational object. The highest use of wealth is to devote its unneeded incre ment to objects of this kind. Preserving Green Food. The Poultry Keeper, commenting on a proposition to build silos for poultry, advises as follows: It certainly would not pay to build silos for fowls, unless the number was large, but there are sev eral ways that may be put in operation, without resorting to the silo. If our readers will procure a tight barrel, throw their green stuff in it loosely, burn some sulphur at the top of the barrel, and close the top on tight, confining the sulphur fumes in the barrel for half an hour, the loose material may be taken out and packed closely and tightly in a box, and put away in the cellar till re quired. It will keep for two or three years, never sour, and will not be injured by the sulphur. Bear in mind that when it receives the sulphur fumes it must lie loosely in tiie barrel, so as to permit the fumes to penetrate every portion of the barrel. Then take it out of the barrel and trample it into a box, or another barrel, and a large quantity can thus be crowded into a small space. Unlike ensilage, it is preserved by the sulphur, and except to avoid evaporation of mois ture, need not be kept entirely air-tight. —Southern Farmer. Miss Chicago—Well, the grass never grew under my feet! Miss Gotham (look ing at the members referred to) —No, my dear, I should say not. There is too much shade —The Idea. Declaration of Principle* of the Farmer** Alliance. Profoundly impressed that we, the Farmers’ Alliance, by the strong and faithful ties of financial and home inter ests, should set forth our declarations; we thereto?e resolve: 1. To labor for the education of the agricultural classes in the science of economical government in a strictly non partisan spirit. 2. To#endorse the motto, “in things essential unity; and in all things char ity r :y To develop a better state, mentally, morally, socially and financially. 4. To create a better understanding for sustaining civil officers in maintain ing law and order. * 5. To constantly strive to secure en tire harmony and good will among all mankind and brotherly love among our selves. 0. To suppress personal, local, section al prejudices; ull unhealthful rivalry and selfish ambition. 7. The brightest jewels which it gar ners are the tears ot widows ami or phans. and its imperative commands are to visit the homes w here lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage the sufferings of a brother or sister; bury the dead; care for the widows and educate the or phans; to exercise charity towards offeu (]erg. to construe words and deeds in their most favorable light, granting hon esty of purpose and good intentions to others; and to protect the principles of the Alliance unto death. Its laws are reason and equity, its cardinal doctrines inspire purity of thought and life, its in tention is “peace on earth and good will iowai ds men." A good idea of what the Alliance is and what it is for is obtained in the following from the Southern Alliance: “To answer briefly we would say it is the biggest thing in Georgia to-day. The organization is moving on rapidly, new county Alliances are being organized almost daily, and ere long this State will be one soliH bank of toilers united for what? To better their own condition Their reason for banding together is fully explained in the recent bagging trust. The Farmers’ Alliance is nothing more than this: An Alliance formed to act in harmony as one man, when these combines are formed against them, to make the farm self-sustaining and to ad vocate a higher education of the farm ing- classes. When the farming classes are in such condition that they can live at home, combines against them will amount to nothing. Organization and strict adherence to the Alliance principles are all we need. If a corner is attempted in bagging and the President of the Na tional Alliance sees proper, lie will issue a circular which will be handed all the way down to The sub-Alliances, setting forth a substitute therefor, or if a corner in sugar, he will say every true Alliance man will do without this article, use some other substitute until the next crop is put on the market. The head of the Farmers’ Alliance may see proper to pass through the hands of these would lie poolers and notice will be given local merchants and local merchants will know it is to their interest to let these goods alone. It is little trouble for an Alliancemau to examine the make of a plowstock or the manufacturer’s name on a nail keg. It the keg has ‘blood on the door facing’ it will stay where it is.” A Woman’* Discovery. “Another wonderful discovery li *s been made and that, too by a lady in this coun ty Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years slu* withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent.
