Post<* |l ’object '! he Flag of Truce— l ilterestj^^Bb Subject: The Flag or Truce— Capital and Labor Are Ideutical, atai When They Cease to Antagonize Each - Other Strife Will Cease. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.) Washington, D. C. —ln this discourse Dr. Talmage suggests how the everlasting war between capital and labor may be brought io a happy end. The text Is I Corinthians sii., 21, "The eye cannot say unto the hand, I hnTe no need of thee.”" Fifty thousand workmen in Chicago ceasing work in one day; Brooklyn stunned by the attempt to halt its railroad cars; Cleveland in the throes of a labor agita tion, and restlessness among toilers all over the land have caused au epidemic of strikes, and, somewhat to better things, I apply the Puuline thought of my text. C You have seen an elaborate piece of< ma chinery, with a thousand wheels and a thousand bands and a thousand pulleys all controlled by one great waterwheel, the machinery so adjusted that when you jar one pact of it you jar all parts of it. Well, human society is a great piece of meohan ism controlled by one great and ever re volving force—the wheel of God’s provi dence. Yon harm one part of the machin ery of society, and you harm all parts. AU profession? interdependent. Ail trades in terdependent. All classes of people inter dependent. Capital and labor interde pendent. No such thing as independence. Dives cannot kick Lazarus without hurt ing his own foot. They who threw Shad rach into the furnace got their own bodies scorched. Or, to come back to the figure of the text, what a strange thing it would be if the eye should say: I oversee the en tire physical mechanism. I despise the Other members of the body; if there is any thing I am disgusted with, it is with those miserable, low lived hands. Or, what if the hand should say: I am the boss work man 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 fore head doing nothing but look. I come in, and I wave the flag of truce between these two contestants, and I say, "The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have mo need of thee.’ ” That brings me to the first suggestion, and that is, that labor and capital are to be brought to a better understanding by a complete canvass of the whole subject. They will be brought to peace when they find that they are ideutical iu their inter ests. When one goes down, they both go down. When one rises, they both rise. There will beau equilibrium after awhile. There never has been an exception to the rule. That which is good for one class of society eventually will be good for all classes of society, and that whioh is bad’ tor one class of society will eventually and in time be bad for all. Every speech that labor makes against capital postpones the day of permanent adjustment. Every speech that capital makes against labor postpones the day of permanent adjust ment. When capital maligns labor, it is the eye cursing the band. When labor muligns capital, it is band cursing the eye. As far as I have observed, the vast major ity of capitalists are successful laborers. If the capitalists would draw their glove, you would see the broken finger nail, the scar of an old blister, the stiffened linger joint. The groat pub lishers of the country for the most part were bookbinders, or typesetters, on small pay. The great carriage manufacturers for the most part sand-papered wagon bodies in wheelwright shops. While, on the other hand, in ail our larga manufac turing establishments you will find men on wages who once employed a hundred or five hundred hands. The distance between capital and labor is not a great gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridge; it is only astep, and the capitalists are crossing over to become laborers, and the laborers are crossing over to beoome capitalists. Would God 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! In the railroads? Nol Their nerve, their muscle, their bone, their me chanical skill, their physical health are magnificent capital! He who has two eyes, two ears, two feet, two hands, ten lingers, has machinery that puts into nothingness carpet and screw and cptton factory, and all the other implements on the planet. The capitalists were laborers, the laborers were capitalists. The sooner we under stand that the better. Again, there is to come relief to the la boring classes of this country through co operative associations. lam not at this moment speaking of trades unions, but of that plan by which laborers put their sur plus together and become their own cap italists. Instead of being dependent upon the beck of this capitalist or that capital ist, they manage their own affairs. In England and Wales there are 813 co-opera tive associations. They have 340,000 mem bers; they have a capital of $18,000,000, or what corresponds to our dollars and they do a business annually of $63,000,000. Thomas Brassey, one of the foremost men in the British Parliament, on the subject says: “Co-operation is the one and the only relief for the laboring populations. This is the path,” he says, “by which they are toeoineu’p 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 ques tion, believed in co-operative institutions. “But,” says some one, “haven’t these in stitutions 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 fail ure, railroading a failure, but now the chief successes of the world. “But,” says some*bne, “why talk of sur plus being put by laborers into co-opera tive associations when the vast multitude of toilers of this country are struggling for their daily bread and have no surplus?” I reply, put into my hand the money spent by the laboring classes of America for rum and tobacco, and l will establish 00-opera-' tive associations in all parts of this land, some of them mightier than any financial institutions of the country. We spend in this country over $100,000,000 every year for tobacco. We spend over $1,500,000,000 directly or indirectly for rum. The labor ing classes spend theirshare of this money. Now, suppose the laboring man who has been expending his money in those direc tions should just add up how much he has expended during these past few years, and then suppose that that money wa3 put Into a co-operative association, and then sup pose he should have all his friends in toll, who had made the same kind of expendi ture, 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 per sons who have more Income —gather that a 1 up and you could have co-operative as soofations all oyer this land. I am not saying anything now about trades unions. You want to know what I think of trades unions. I think they are most beneficial in some directions, and they have a specific object, and in this day, when there are vast monopolies—a thou sand monopolies concentrating the wealth of the people into the possession of a few men—unless the laboring men of this coun try and all countries band together they will go.under. There is a lawful use of a trade unioD. If it means sympathy in time -of sickness, if it means finding work for people when they are out' of work, if it means tbe improvement of the financial, the moral er tli* religious condition of the laboring classes, that is all right.

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?” I would deny them nothing that is good for them. I would deny them strong drink, il I had the power, because it is damaging to them. My father said:, “I became a temperance man in early life because I found that In the harvest field, while I was naturally weaker than the other men, I could hold out longer than any of them. They took stimulant and I took none.” Everybody knows they cannot endure great fatigue—men who indulge in stimu lants. All our young men understand that. When they are preparing for the re gatta, 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 in to co-operative institutions. Oh. we would have u very different state of things from what we have now. I 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 them put down their income and they put down their expenses, and if the income meets the expenses that is all that is neoessary. I know laboring men who are in a perfect fidget until they have spent their last dol lar. They fly around everywhere until they get it spent. A oase came under my observation where aj {young man “was receiving S7OO a year and earned it by very hard work. The marriage day came. The bride had received SSOO as ail inheritance from her grandfather. She put the SSOO in wedding equipment. Then the twain hired two rooms on the third story. Then this man, who had most ar duous employment, just as much as he could possibly endure, got evening em ployment fee he could earn a few dollars more and by this extra evening employ ment almost extinguished his eyesight. Why did he take this extra evening em ployment? Was it to lay by something for a rainy day? No! Was it to get a life in surance so that if he should die his wife would not be a pauper? Nol It was for the one purpose of getting his wife a $l5O sealskin sacque. lam just giving you a fact I know. The sister of this woman, al though she is 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 $l5O sealskin sacque! Well, went abroad all through the street. Most of the people on that street were laboring, hard working people, and they were not to be outshone in this way, and they all Went to work in the same direction and practically said, though not literally: “Though the heavens fall, we must have a sealskin sacquel” A clergyman in lowa told me that his church and the entire neighborhood had bean ruined by the fact that the people mortgaged their farms in ordor to go down to the Philadelphia Centennial in 1576. First, one family would go, then another family, and finally it was not respectable not to go to the Centennial at Philadel phia, and they mortgaged their farms. The church and the neighborhood ruined in that way. Now, between such fools and Eauperism there is only a very short step, u time of peace prepare for war. In time of prosperity prepare for adversity. Yet how mafiy there are who drive on the verge of the precipice, and at the least touch of accident or sickness over they go. Ah, my friends, it i3 not right, it is not honest! He that provldeth not for his own, and especially those of his own household, is worse than an infidel. A man has no right to live in luxury and have all com forts and all brightness around him, tak ing Ills family with him at that rate— everything bright and beautiful and lux urious until he stumbles against a tomb stone and falls In, and they all go to the poorhouse. That is not common honesty. lam no advocate of skinflint saving. I abhor It. But I plead for Christina ptovi dence. Some of the older persons j very well Abratfam Van Nest, of New Ytf one of its Christian merchants. Ho often called mean because he calculated so closely. Why did he calculate closely? That he might have the more to give. r J?here was not ft Bible society or a tract society or a reformatory institution in the city of New York but he had his hand in sup porting it. He denied himself many luxu ries that he might give to others the neces sities. He has been many years reaping his reward In heaven, but I shall never forget the day when I, a green country lad, came to his house and spent the even ing, and at the close ol the evening, as I was departing, he accompanied me to the door, accompanied me to the steps, came down off the steps and said: “Here, De Witt, is S4O for books. Don’t say any thing about it.” It is mean or it is mag nifloent to save, according as you save for a good or bad object. I know there are many people who have much to say against savings banks and life insurances. I have to tell yc,u that the vast majority of the homesteads in this eountry have been the result of such insti tutions, and I have to fell you also that the vast majority of homesteads of the fu ture for the laboring classes will be the re sult of such Institutions. It will be a great day for the workldfc classes of England and the United States when the working man oan buy a barrel of flour instead of flour by the small sack; when he can buy a barrel of sugar instead of sugar by the pound; when he can pay cash for coats and hats and shoes rather than pay an ad ditional amount for the reason that he has to get it all charged. I know a gentleman very well who has over 1000 hands in his employ. I said to him some years ago when there was great trouble in the labor market, "How are you getting on with your men?” "Oh,” hesaid, •‘I have no trouble!” “Why," I said, “have not you had any strikes?” "Oh, no!” he said. “I never had any trouble.” “What plan do you pursue?” He said: "I will tell you. All my men know every year Just how matters stand. Every little while I call them together and say: ‘Now, boys, last year I made so much. This year 1 made less. So you see I cannot pay you as muoh as I 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 I ought to give you. You know I put all my energy In this business, put all my fortune In it and risked every thing. What do you really think I ought to have and you ought to have?’ By the time we come out of that oonsultation we are unanimous. There has never been an exception. When we prosper we will pros per together. When we suffer, we all suffer together, and my men would die for me.” Now, let all employers be frank with their employes. Take them into your confi dence. Let then? know just how matters stand. There Is an Immense amount of common sense In the world. It is always safe to appeal to it. . of tmehief is done, too.

If there were anything in the antiquarian theory, the favor ite weekday among the Anglo-Saxons ought to be Friday, for Frea, the Sax on goddess after whom our day of ill luck and misfortune was named, was, like Juno, a patroness of matrimony, I but no English or American girl, how ever devoid of superstition, would care to take the risk of being married on Friday. Frea was the wife of Woden, who has given the name to our Wednesday, but the transfer of the fa vorite weekday for weddings from the day of Frea, as among the pagan Sax ons, to the day of Woden, was prob ably caused by convenience rather than by any regard for the feelings of either Woden or his spouse. Wednes day is the middle day of the week, and therefore the most convenient, for It affords time for preparation after the preceding Sunday, and opportunity for travel before the Sunday follow- Ing.—St. Louis Republic.

Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed A long series cently been made by bach, of Basle, aipon the relative acu ness of the senses of hearing, ton®, taste and smell in the case of the bliwt and those who possess normal visiofb The results are contained in Pfluger’s Arehiv. The observations were made on those who were otherwise healthy, in tlie differentiation of tactile impres sions no remarkable differences were j observed between the seeing and the ! blind, or if small differences did exist they were in favor of the seeing. In those born blind the tactile sharpness was somewhat less than in the seeing, and iu some’ eases the sensoriuui gen erally was equally defective. The blind in particular feel less acutely with the tip of the index finger than j do those who see, and in many cases the tactile acuteness of the two index finger tips differs. In the blind, espe cially in the region of the hand, a stronger impression is required to pro duce a tactile impression than in those possessed of sight. In the capability of localizing im pressions of sound no difference exists between the blind and the seeing. In l both great individual variations occur. Asa rule, botli in the seeing and the blind the use of the organ of both sides gives better results than Hie use of one alone. No difference in the acuteness of henring exists between the blind and those who see. No rela ; tion was observed between the acute ness of hearing and the power of local izing sounds in either the seeing or the blind. No difference was observed in the two classes in regard to the acute ness of smell. In the execution of manual labor the j blind become fatigued sooner than do i those of equal age who see. The blind are more fatigued with manual than with mental work, which is not the case with the seeing of the same age. If any difference exists in regard to exhaustion after mental labor it is in favor of those of the same age who see. Both among the blind and the seeing, there are persons who have; many, others who have only a few, | and others again who have no illusory or erroneous Impressions of touch. These events are in many respects i opposed to generally received opinions, for it is usually supposed that depriva tion of sight leads to exaltation of the acuteness of the other senses, especial ly of the touch and hearing.
