Matthew vfi.. id.
The greatest war the world has over seen
is between capital and labor. The strif is
not like Hint which in history is called
Thirty Years’ war. for it is a war of centur¬
ies. it is a war of the live continents, it is a
war hemispheric. The middle classes in
this country, upon whom the nation lias dc
ponded for bolding the balance of power and
for acting ns mediators between tile two
extremes, are diminishing, and if tilings go
on at the same ratio as they are now going
it will not be very long before there will be
no middle class in this country, but all will
bo very rich or very poor, prince* or pau¬
pers, and the country will be given up to
palaces and hovels.
The antagonistic forces are closing in
upon each other. Tile Pennsylvania miners’
strikes, the telegraph operators’ strikes,
tlie railroad employes’ strikes, the move¬
ments of tho boycotters and tlie dyna¬
miters arc only skirmishers before a gen¬
eral engagement, or. it you prefer it, es¬
capes through tlie safety valves of an im¬
prisoned force which promises the explo¬
sion of society. You may poohpooh it; you
may say will that this troublo, like an angry
child, cry itself to sleep; you may be¬
little it by calling it Fourierism or social¬
ism or ist. Bimonism or nihilism or com¬
munism, but that will not hinder tlie fact
that it is the mightiest, the darkest, tho
most terrific threat of tills century. All at¬
tempts and at monopoly pacification is have been dead fail¬
ures. more arrogant and
the trades unions more bitter. “Give us
more wages,” less,” cry tho the employes. “You
shall have say capitalists. “Com-
pel us to do fewer hours of toil in a day.”
“You shall toil more hours,” say the others.
“Then under certain conditions we will not
work at all,” say these, “Then you shall
starve,” say rising those. And, the workmen
gradually up Unit which they ac¬
cumulated in bettor times, unless there be
some radical change wo shall have soon in
this country 4.000,000 hungry men and wom¬

ba kept quiet. All the enactments of legis¬
latures and all the constabularies of tho
cities and ail tho army and navy of tlie
United States cannot keep 4,000,000 hungry
people quiet. What, then? V/jll this war
between capital and labor be settled by
human wisdom? Never. The brow of the
one becomes clinched. more rigid, tho list of the
other more
But that which human wisdom cannot
achieve will be accomplished by Christianity
If it be given full sway. You have heard of
medicines eo powerful that one drop will
stop a disease and restore a patient, and I
have to tell you that one drop of my text
properly administered will stop all these
woes of society and give convalescence and
complete health to all classes. “Whatso-.
ever ye would that men should do to you,
do you oven so them.”
I shall first show you how this quarrel be¬
tween monopoly and hard work cannot be
stopped, and then I will show you how this
controversy will bo settled.
Futile remedies, In the first place, there
will come no pacification to this trouble
through an outcry against rich men merely
because they are rich. There isno member
of a trades union on earth that would not
be rich if he could be. Sometimes through
a fortunate invention or through some acci¬
dent of prosperity large a man who had nothing him
comes to a estate, and we seo
arrogant and supercilious and taking peo¬
ple by the throat. There is some-
thing very mean about human ua-
turo wiien it comes to tho top, But it
is no more a sin to be rich than it is a sin
to be poor. There are those who have
gathered a great estate through fraud,
and then there are millionaires who have
gathered their fortunes through foresight
in regard to changes in the markets, and
through brilliant business faculty, and
every dollar of their estate is as honest as
the dollar which the plumber gets for
mending a pipe or the mason gets for
building a wall. There are those who keep
in poverty because of their own fault, Tljcy
might have been well off, but they gave
themselves to strong drink, or they smoked
pr chewed up their earnings, or they lived
beyond their means, while others on the
same wages and on the same salaries went
on to competency I know■» man Who is

“Coprierfieid. my boy, Cl income, twenty
shillings and six pease expellees; £1 result, in-
misery. But, Copperlield, shillings my boy, and
come expenses nineteen six-
pence; result, happiness.” And there are
vast multitudes of people who are kept poor
because they are tho victims of their own
improvidence. It is no sin to be rich, and
it is no sin to be poor. I protest against
this outcry which I hear against those who,
through economy and self denial and nssi-
duitv have come to large fortune. This
bombardment of commercial successful

unsympathetic treatment of
the laboring classes. There are those who
speak 1 of them as though they were only
eattle , , or draft , horses. Ihelr nerves are
nothing, their domestic comfort is nothing,
their happiness is nothing. 1 hey hound have has no
more sympathy ,or them than a

Stamp their feet with Indignation and say
just the opposite of “Suva the working
classes.” They have all with their Antonio sympathies and
with Sbyloek, and not

feelings are Infernal. Ihey are filled with
irritation and irascibility on Jus subject.
To stop this awful Imbroglio between
capital and labor they will lift not so much
ns the tip end of the little finger,
Neither will there bo any pacification violence, of
this angry controversy through
God never blessed murder.
The poorest use you can put a man to is
to kill him. Blow up to-morrow all the
country seats oil the hanks of the Hudson,
und all the fine houses on Madison Square,
aud Brooklyn Heights, and Bunker Hill,
and Bjttenhouse Square,and Beacon street,
ami all the brinks and timber and stone
will just fall back on the bare head of
American labor. The worst enemies of the
working classes in the llifted States ana
Ireland are their demented coadjutors. Lord
Assassination, the assassination of
Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke in
Phoenix Park, Dublin in the attempt to
sympathizers. The attempt to blow uj> the
House o! Commons in London had only
this effect—to throw out of employment
tens of thousands of innocent Irish people
in England.
Well, if tills controversy between capital
and labor cannot be settled by human wis¬
dom. if to-day capital and labor stand with
their thumbs on each other’s throat, as
they else do, it is time for us to look somewhere
for relief, and it points from my text,
roseate tho broadcloth and jubilant, and puts one and hand on
the other shoulder tho of capital covered puts
on homespun that
shoulder of toil and says, with a voice
will grandly and gloriously settle this and
settle everything, “Whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do you even so
to them”-that is, the lady of the h<> USD*
hold will say, “I must treat the maid in
the kitchen just as I would like to be treat¬
ed if 1 were down stairs and it wore my
Work to wash and cook and sweep and it
wore tlm duty of the maid in the kitchen to
preside in tin's parlor.” The maid in the
kitchen must say: “if m,v employer seems
to lie, more prosperous than I. that is no
fault of hers. I shall not treat her as an
enemy. I will have the same industry and
fidelity down stairs as I would expect from
my subordinates if I happened to bo the
wife of a silk Importer.”
The owner qf an iron mill, having taken
a dose of my text before leaving home in
the morning, will go into liis foundry, and,
passing into what is called the puddling
room, he will see a man there stripped exhausted to
tlie waist and beswented and
with tho labor and the toil, and ho will say
to him: “Why, it seems to be very hot in
hero. You look very much exhausted. I
hear your child is sick with scurlet fever.
If you want your wages a little earlier this
week, so as to pay tho nurse and got the
medicines, just come into my oflieo any
time.”
In this country tho torch put to tho fac¬
tories that have discharged hands for good
or bad reasons, obstructions on the rail
track in front of midnight express trains
because the offenders do not like the Presi¬
dent of the company, strikes on shipboard
the hour they were going to sail or in the
printing offices the hour the paper was to
go to press, or in mines the day tho coal
was to be delivered, or on house scaffold¬
ings so the builder fails in keeping his con¬
tract—all these are only a hard blow on
tho head of American labor and cripple Us
arms and lame its feet and pierce his heart.
Traps sprung suddenly upon employers of tho
and violence never took one knot out
knuckle of toil or put one farthing of
wages into a callous palm. Barbarism will
never cure tho wrongs of civilization,
Mark that,
Frederick tho Great admired some land
near his palace at Potsdam, and he resolved
to get it. It was owned by a miller. He
offered the miller three times the value of
the property. The miller would not take it
because it was the old homestead, and lie
fait about as Naboth felt about Ills vine¬
yard when Allah wanted it. Frederick tho
Great was a rough and terrible man, and
he ordered the miller into his presence, and
the king, with a stick in his hand—a stick
with which ho sometimes struck his officers
of state—said to this miller, “Now, I have
offered you throe times the value of that
property, and if you won’t sell it I’ll take it
anyhow.” The milter said, “Your majesty,
you won’t.” “Yes,” said the king, “I will
take it.” “Then,” said the miller, “if your
majesty does take it I will sue you in the
chancery court.” At that threat Frederick
tho Great yielded Ids infamous demand.
And tho most imperious outrage against
tho working classes will yet cower before
the law. Violence and contrary to the law
will never accomplish anything, but right¬
eousness and according to law will accom¬
plish it.
After awhile crash goes the money mar¬
ket, and there is no more demand for the
articles manufactured in that iron mill,
and the owner does not. know wliat to do.
Ho says; “Shall J stop tho mill, or shall I
run it on half time, or shall f out down tho
men’s wages?" Ilo walks tho Hoof of his
counting room all day, hardly knowing calls all
what to do. Toward evening ho
the laborer* together, They stand all
around, some with arms akimbo, some with
folded arms, wondering what tho boss is
going to do now. The manufacturer says:
“Men, times are very hard. I don’t make
$20 where f used to make $100. Somehow,
there is no demand now for what we manu¬
facture, or but very little demand. You
see, I am at vast expense, and I have called
you together this afternoon to see what
you would advise. I don’t want to shut
up tho mill because that would force you
out of work, and yoq have always been very
faithful, and f like you, and you seem to
like me, and the bairns must bo looked
after, and your wife will after awhile want
a now dress, f duq’l know what to do.”
There is a ‘toad ball for* a mlnqto or two.
and then one of the workmen steps out
from tlie ranks of his fellows and says:
“Boss, you have been very good to us, and
when you prospered we prospered, and sorry,and and it ow
you are In alight place ! am
wo have got to sympathize with you. I I
don’t know bow tlie others feel, but pro-
pose that we take off twenty per cent, from
our wages and that when the times get
good you will remember us and raise them
again.” The workman looks around to bfs
comrades fled says: “Boys, what do you
* a y to this? All infayor of my proposition
will say aye,
“Aye, aye, aye!” shout 200 voices,
But the mill owner, getting In so mo no w

takes cold, and it settles into pneumonia tomb
and he dies. In the procession to tho

their cheeks and off upon tho ground, but the

The gr -at want of the world to-day is the
f.iUllmeat of this t'hrlstliko injunction,
that watea ho promulgated in His sermon
Olivetie*. All the political economists un¬
der tho nrehivnult of tins heavens in con¬
vention for 1000 years cannot settle this
controversy between monopoly and hard
work, between capital and labor. During
the Revolutionary War there was a heavy
piece of timber to lie lifted, perhaps for
some fortress, and the corporal was over¬
seeing the work, ami ho was giving com¬
mands to some soldiers as they lifted:
' lleavo away, there! Yo heave!” Well, tho
timber was too heavy; they could not get
it up. There was a gentleman riding by
on a horse, and lie stopped and said to
this eorporal: ‘‘Why don’t you help thorn
lift? That timber is too heavy for t hem to
lift.” "No,” be said,‘‘I won't. I am a
eorporal.'' The gentleman got oil' ids
liorse and came up to the place. "Now,”
he said to the soldiers, "ail together yo
knave!” and the timber went to its place.
‘‘Now,” said the gentleman to the corporal,
“when you have a piece of t imber too
heavy help, for the send men to lift, and you want
you to your commander-in-
chief.” ft was Washington. Now, that is
about all the gospel I know the gospel of
giving somebody a lift, a lift out of dark¬
ness, a lift out of earth Into heaven. That
is ail tho gospel I know the gospel of
helping “Oh,” somebody else to lift.
says some wisea iro, “talk as you
will, tho law of demand an 1 supply will
regulate these thing until the end of
time.” No, they will not, unless ti n I dies
and the batteries of the judgment day are
spiked, and and Pluto the and Pros Tplne, king
queen of infernal regions, take full
possession of this world. Do yon know who
supply and demand are? They have gone
into partnership, and they propose to
■swindle this earth and are swindling it.
You are drowning. Supply and demand
stand on the shore; one on one side, the
other on the otherside of the lifeboat, and
they cry out to you, “Now. you pay us
What W l! ask you for getting you to shore
or go to the bottom!” If you can borrow
43000 you can keep from failing in busi-
ness. Supply and demand say, “Now, you
pay us exorbitant usury or you g> into
and bankruptcy.” This robber firm of supply
demand say to you: “ The crops arc
short. We bought up ail the wheat unlit
is In our bin. Now, yo • pay our pries or
starve.” That is your magnificent law of
supply and demand.
Supply and demand own the largest mill
On earth, and ali the rivers roll over their
the wheel, and into their hopper they put all
men, women and children they can
shovel out of the centuries, and the blood
and tile bones redden tile valley while the
mill grinds. That diabolic law of supply
and demand will yet. have to st.nn I miilo,
and instead thereof will come the law of
love, tho law of co-operation, the law of
kindness, the law of sympathy, tho law of
Christ. Have you no idea of the coining of
such a time? Then you do not believe the

The great patriot of France, Vlotor Hugo,

poor of the city was only a hint of the work
lie did for all Nations and for all times. I

to his passbotwoon body his death and his burial,
