They made money, but did not keep it.

and his daughters in silks, and place at his
front door a prancing span of sorrels or
bays, anil secure him a policy of life insur¬
ance, so that the present home may he well
maintained after lie is dead. The most per¬
sistent, most overpowering enemy of the
working classes is intoxicating liquor. It
is the anarchist of the centuries and has
boycotted and is now boycotting the holly
and mind niul soul of American labor. It
is to it a worse foe than monopoly and
worse than associated capital. industry out of
It annually swindles it a
large percentage of earnings, holds out
its hlmshigs solicitations to the mechanic
or operative on his way to work, and at tho
noon spell, and on his way home at even¬
tide; on Saturday, when l ho wages urn paid,
it snatches a large part of the money that
might come into the family and sacrifices it
among the saloon keepers. Stand the sa¬
loons of this country side by side, and it is
carefully estimated that they would reach
from New York ’to Chicago. "Forward,
march," says the drink power, “and take
possession of the American Nation.”
The drink business is pouring its vitriolic
and damnable liquids down the throats of
hundreds of thousands of laborers, and
while tho ordinary strikes are ruinous both
to employers and employees, I proclaim drink, a
strike universal against strong relief of the
which, if kept up, will be the
working classes and the salvation of the
Nation. I will undertake to say that there
is not a healthy laborer in the United States
who within the next ten years, if he will re¬
fine*, nil intoxicating beverages and be sav¬
ing, may not become a capitalist on a small
scale. Our country in a year spends $1,-
500,050,000 for drink. Of course tho work¬
ing classes do a great deal of this expendi¬
ture. Careful statistics show that the
wage earning classes of Great Britain ex¬
pend in liquors 0100,000,000,000 or $500,-
000,000 a year. Sit down and calculate, oh,
workingmen, how much you have ex¬
pended in these directions. Add it all up.

temperance man in early life, because I
noticed in the harvest field that though I
was physically weaker than other work¬
men, I could hold out longer than they.
They took stimulants. I took none.” A brick-
maker in England gives Ills experience In
regard to this matter among men in his
employ. He says, after investigation:
“The beer drinker who made the fewest
bricks made 659,000, bricks and the abstainer who
made the fewest 71(1,000. The dif¬

There are those who are kept in

chewed up their earnings, or they lived be¬

wages and on the same salaries went on to

Aye, until they quit that evil habit more
money the more ruin, the more wages the
more holes in the bag.
My plea is to those working people who
arc in a discipleship to the whisky bottle,
the beer jug and the wine flask. And what
I say to them will not be more appropriate
to the working olasses than to the business
classes aud the literary classes and the pro¬
fessional classes and all classes, aud not
with the people of one age more than of all
ages. Take one good square look at the
suffering of the man whom strong drink
has enthralled and remember that towurd

disciple of alcoholism suffers the loss of
self respect, Just as soon os a man
wakes up and finds that he iH the cap¬

tho hospital where those inebriates are dy¬
ing. the stonoh of their wounds driving
back tho attendants, their voices sounding
through tho night? Tho keeper comes up
and says: "Hush, now bo still. Stop mak¬
ing all this noise." But It is effectual only
for a moment, for ns soon as the keeper is
gone they Begin again: "(t God! () God!

rave, and they pluck out their hair by

and then they groan, and they shriek, and
they blaspheme, and they ask the keepers to
kilt them " Stall me! Smother me!
Strangle mo! Take the devils off me!" Oh,
it is no fancy sketch. That tiling is going
on now all up and down the land, and 1
tell you further that this is going to he the
death that some of you will die. 1 know
i(. I see it coming. through
Again the inebriate suffers tho
loss of home. Ido not care how much he
loves his wife and children, if this passion
for strong drink has mastered him he will
do the most outrageous things, and if lie
could not get drink ill any other way he
would sell his family into eternal bondage.
How many homes have been broken up in
that way no one hut God knows. Oh, is
there anything that will so destroy life a man
for this life and damn him for the that
is to come? I)o not tell me that a man can
be happy when ho knows that he is break¬
ing his wife’s heart and clothing his chil¬
dren with rags. Why, there are on the
roads and streets of this land to-day little
children, barefooted, unwashed and un¬
kempt, want on every patch of their faded
dress anil on every wrinkle of their pre¬
maturely old countenances, who would
have been In churches to-day and as well
clad as you are but for the fact that rum
destroyed their parents ami drove them
into the grave. Oli, rum, thou foe of God,
thou ile.spoiler of homes, thou recruiting
officer of the pit, I hate thee.
But my subject takes a deeper tone, and
that is that the unfortunate of whom 1
speak suffers from the loss of the soul. The
Bible intimates that in the future world, if
wo are unforgiven here, our bad passions
and appetites, unrestrained, will there. go along
with us and make our torment Ko
that, I suppose, when an inebriate wakes
up in that world he will fed au infinite
thirst consuming him. Now, down in this
world, although he may have been very
poor, ho could beg or lie could steal live
cimts iv'reltwViL’U.-t? get that which would
slake his thirst for a little while, i/flt rlV
eternity where is the rum to come from?
Oh, the deep, thirst exhausting, exasperating,
everlasting of the drunkard in hell!
Why, if a work fiend name up to earth should fqr some
infernal in a grogshop and go
back tlfat taking units wing justpne the drop of
for which the Inebriate in lost
world longs, what excitement would it
make there! Put that one drop from off
the fiend’s destroyed wing on inebriate, the tip of let the tho tongue liquid of
the
brightness just touch it, let the drop be
very small, if it only have In it the smack
of alcoholic drink; let that drop world, just touch
the lost Inebriate in the lost and he
would spring to his feet and cry: “That is
ruin, aha! That is rum!” And It would
wake up the echoes of the damned: “Give
me rum! Give me rum! Give me ruml”
In the future world I ilo not believe that it
will be the. absence of God that will make
the drunkard's sorrow. 1 ilo not believe it
will bo the absence of light. I do not be¬
lieve that it will be the absence of holiness.
I think It will be the absence of rum. Oh,
"Look not upon' the wine when it Is red,
when it moveth itself aright, in the cup, for
at the Inst it biteth like a serpent, and it
stingoth like an adder.”
1 verily believe that although you feel
grappling at the roots of your tongues an
almost omnipotent, thirst, if you will give
your heart to Gok, he will help yim by IDs
grace to conquer. Try it. It is your last
chance. I have looked oft upon the deso¬
lation. Hitting Tiext to you In our religious
assemblages there are a good many ordinary people
in awful peril, there and judging is from chance in
circumstances not one
five thousand that they will get clear of if.
There are men in every congregation make from
Knbbath to Hnbbnth of whom I must
the, remark that If they ilo not change their
course within ten years they will, as to
their bodies, lie down in drunkards’graves,
and ns to their souls, lie down in a drunk¬
ard's perdition. I know that is an awful
thing to say, but 1 cannot help saying it.
Oh, beware! Yoil Whether have not yet beverage been cap¬ bo
tured. Beware! the
poured In golden chalice or pewter mug in
the foam at tho top, in white letters, let
there be spelled out to your soul. "Beware!”
When the books of judgment are open, and
10,000,000 drunkards come up to get their
doom, I want you to bear witness that I, in
the fear of God and in Jove for your soul,
told you, with all affection and with all
kindness; to beware of that which has
already exerted its Influence upon your
family, blowing out some of Its light—a
premonition of the blackness of darkness
forever.
Oh; If you could bones only hear intemperance

whole body." The B. V. says, "In many
things we all stumble.” And yet tho as¬
cription tn Judo xxiv., it. V., Is. “Now un¬

mighty ship managed by Its governor bv
means of a very small helm. We might
consider the smallness of that which in
either ease controlled the large body, or
wo might, consider the driver or governor
controlling. In I’s. xxxll., 9, we are In¬
structed not to be like a horse or mule,
without understanding, whose mouth must
lie held in with bit and bridle. But some
horses and mules have understanding, and

The great thing is to under have a good governor

Therefore we are admonished, “Keep thy
tongue from evil and thy lips from speak¬

reminded that there is net a word in our
