FIST VERSUS BRAIN.
The Great Contest Between Labor
and Capital.
Dr. Talmage on the Only Cure for the Evil
••Whatsoever Ye Would That Men
Should Do to You, Do Y'e
Even So to Them.'*
T>r. Talhiagtr preachud on Sunday in the
Brooklyn Tabernacle on the subject: “Fist
Versus Brain.” The text was from
Matthew vii., 12: “Whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so
to them.” Dr. Talmage said :
LABOR VS. CAPITAL.
The greatest war the world has ever
seen is that going on between labor and
capital. Not a strife like the thirty years’
war of w-hich history tells us, for this is a
war of centuries. It is a war of five
continents, a war hemispheric. In this
country the middle classes, who have held
the balance of power and upon whom the
Nation has depended as mediators be
tween the two extremes, are diminishing,
and at the same ratio we will soon have
no middle class, for all the people will be
very rich or very poor, and the country
be divided between Princes and paupers,
between palaces and hovels. The two
great antagonistic forces are closing in
upon each other. “Telegraph operators’
strikes,” “railroad employes’ strikes,”
“Pennsylvania miners’ strikes,” the move*
ments on the part of boycotters and dyn
amiters, are only skirmishes before the
general engagement, or, if you prefer,
they are escapes through the safety valve
of an imprisoned force that promises the
explosion of society.
You may pooh-pooh it,and prophesy that
this trouble, like an angry child, will cry
itself to sleep, and think you have belittled
it into insignificance by calling it Socialism,
Fourierism, St. Simonism, Nihilism or
Communism, but that can not hinder the
fact that it is the mightiest, darkest, most
terrific threat of this century. Moreover,
all the attempts at pacification have been
a dead failure. Monopolists are more ar
rogant, Trades Unions more bitter. “Give
ns more wages,” cry the employes; “We
will give you less,” respond the capitalists.
“Give us less hours of work,” say these;
“You shall have more,” say those. “We
wou’t work under such conditions,” cry
these; “Then you shall starve,” respond
those. Soon the laboring classes will have
rxbausted what little property they had
accumulated under a better state of things,
and, unless there be something done, there
will be in this country three million hun
gry men and women. Well, three million
hungry people can not be kept
quiet. All the enactments of legislatures,
and all the constabularies of the cities, aud
all the army and navy of the United States,
can not keep them quiet. What then? Will
capital and labor ever settle their quarrel
by their own wisdom? No. The brow of
the one will be more rigid and the fist of
the other tighter clenched. But what sec
ular wisdom can not do Christianity ckn
accomplish if it be given full swing. You
have heard of medicines so powerful that
one drop would stop a disease and restore
the patient, and one drop of my text will
kill all this trouble and give convalescence
and health to all classes: “Whatsoever
ye would that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them.”
HONEST RICHEB.
The pulpit must be heard on this subject.
When Benjamin Franklin made his dis
coveries in electricity John Wesley put
electrical machines in several neighbor
hoods that people might by them be healed
of their nervous disorders. Our Gospel is
a Gospel for the body as well as the soul.
First, I will show you how this capitalistic
war won’t be stopped, and then how it
will be stopped.
First, it will not be stopped by an out
cry against rich men because they are
rich. There is not a member of a Trades
Union in the United States who would not
be rich if he could. Sometimes, through
fortunate inventions or some accident of
property, a man with nothing rises to
affluence, and he immediately becomes
supercilious and overbearing, and takes
people by the throat with as tight a grip as
he himself was taken by the throat. Hu
man nature is a mean thing when it comes
to the supremacy. It is no more a sin to
be rich than to be poor. While there are
men who have got their property by fraud,
there are millionaires who by foresight of
changes to take place in markets or busi
ness brilliancy won their property as hon
estly as the plumber ever earned his money
for mending a pipe, or a mason for build
ing a wall. With vast multitudes of peo
ple the poverty is their own fault.
They might have been well off, but
they smoked or drank up their earnings,
or they lived beyond their means. Men on
’ the same wages or salaries as t hey had
went on to competency. I know men who
complain of their poverty who keep two
dogs and smoke and chew, and go loaded
to the chin with whisky and beer. Micaw
ber, in prison for debt, is reported as say- 1
ing to David Copperfield: “My boy: in- 1
come, £1; expenses, 20s. 6d.; result, mis- ;
ery. Income, £1; expenses, 19s. (id.; re
sult, happiness.” A vast multitude of the
poor are the victims of their own improvi
dence. I protest against the assault of
men, who, through economy and self-de-
nial and assiduity, have amassed great
fortunes. Thank God for honest rich men.
They build art-galleries and endow col
leges and adorn cities and erect churches,
and if fori ign despotisms should threaten
us would subscribe, if need be, $50,000,000
to sink them before they get through the
Narrows. By indiscriminate attack upon
success you can never settle this fight.
HARD-HEARTED MASTERS.
Neither will this pacification come
through a cynical aud unsympathetic
treatment of the laboring classes. Some
talk of them as though they were cattle or
draft horses. Their nerves are nothing.
Their tastes are nothing. Their domestic
comfort nothing, aud there are men who
have no more feeling for the toilers than
the hound has for the hare or a hawk for
the hen or a tiger for the calf. In warm
slippers, what do they care for cold feet?
When Jean Valjean, the grandest hero of
Victor Hugo, after a life of misfortune
goes down into incarceration and death,
they shut the book in exultaiion and say:
“Good for him.” They stamp the foot iu
regard to those people and say just the
opposite of “Ngve the laboring classes.”
Their sympathies are with “Shylock”
rather than with “Antonio” and “Portia.”
Plutocrats, their feelings are simply in
fernal. They are irritation and irascibili
ty, and toward the settlement of this im
broglio between labor and capital they
will give*(jot the tip end of the little finger.
BAB MOVES.
The assassins of Lord Frederick Caven
dish and Mr. Burke in Phoenix Park, Dub
lin, Ireland, in hoping to avenge Ireland,
turned from that afflicted land the sympa
thies of millions of people. The recent at
tempt to blow up the House of Commons
In ljondon threw tens of thousands of Irish
out of employment and livelihood. Torches
in this country applied to factories which
cut down wages; shot-guns aimed at
workmen who take the place of hands re
signed or bands discharged, for good or
bad reasons; obstructions put on railroad
tracks before midnight express trains, be
cause the offenders do not like the Presi
dent of the company'; strikes which leave
the ship the hour it was going to sail, or
the printing-office the hour the paper was
to go to press, or the coal-mines the day
the coal was to be delivered, or the house
scaffolding the day when their absence
would make the builder fail in his contract
—all these things have given American
labor a heavy blow on the head, and crip
pled its arms and lamed its feel;, and pierced
it through the heart. Take the last great
strike in America—the telegraph opera
tors’ strike—and the loss to the operators
was $400,000, and poorer wages ever since.
Neither sudden trap sprung by employers
nor violence ever untied the knots from the
knuckles of toil or put more money into
the callous palm. Barbarism will never
cure the wrongs of civilization. Frederick
the Great wanted the property of a miller
adjoining the grounds near Potsdam. The
King offered the miller three times the
value of the property. The miller would
not sell, because it was the old homestead,
aud he felt about it as Naboth did about
his vineyard when Ahab wanted it. Fred
erick the Great was a rough and terrible
man, and he ordered the miller into his
presence. The King, flourishing a stick
with which he was sometimes accustomed
to strike the officers of State, said to the
miller: “I have offered you three times
the value of your property, and if you will
not sell it 1 will take it anyhow.” The
miller replied, calmly: “Your Majesty
will not take it.” “Yes, I will,” yelled
the King. “Then,” replied the miller, “I
will suelvou before the Chancery Court.”
Then the King relinquished his demand.
So the most imperious of outrages against
the poor and the hard-working shall cower
before the law. Wrongs will be righted,
not by violence and against the law, but
according to law.
WHERE TO LOOK FOR RELIEF.
Yet all attempts at reconciliation be-'
tween labor and capital so far having
failed, and the two standing with their
thumbs on each other’s throat ready for
strangulation, it behooves us to look else
where for relief. And from my text it
bounds out, roseate and jubilant, and put
ting one hand on the broadcloth shoulder
of Capital, puts the other hand on the
homespun-covered shoulder of Toil, and
says with a voice that will finally and
gloriously settle every thing: “Whatso
ever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them.” That is, the lady
of the household will say: “ I must treat
the maid in the kitchen as I would like to
be treated if I cooked and washed and
swept down stairs and she entertained in
the parlor.” And the maid in the kitchen
must say: “If that lady up-stairs seems
more fortunate than I, her prosperity is
not to be set down as a fault, and I will
manage her affairs with an industry and
fidelity such as I would expect from a sub
ordinate if 1 happened to be the wife of a
silk importer.” The manufacturer will
look over his resources and say-. "I menu
to do the best for my employes
that I can, and I will treat them
iu the matter of wages as I would like
to be treated if I turned the iron bar
in the furnace or stood at the factory
wheel or had ray foot on the treadle.” And
the toiler will say: “Though my face be
smirched with the furnaces and my hand
hardened by the wheel, I must be a gentle
man, and 1 will not act as though my em
ployer were an enemy, and I will do my
duty among these wheels as well »» though
I were up in the counting-room among the
ledgers.” The irou manufacturer having
taken a dose of my text before ho left
home in the morning is walking through
the foundry and passing through the
“puddling-room,” where are men be
sweated and stripped to the waist. The
employer says: “Good inoruiug, Donald;
you look uncomfortable in this heat. I
hear your child is sick with the scarlet
fever. If you want to draw your wages a
little early this week to buy medicines and
pay the nurse just come into my office.”
Passing along into the “finishing room,”
he sees a young man very wfiite and pallid
and hardly able to stand up to his work,
and the employer says: “I guess you
don’t feel very well to-day; better rest a
little once in a while. What are you tak
ing for this illness? Call at my house to
night and I will give you a vial of medi
cine that will set you up.” “Thank you,”
says the workman, as he sweeps his arm
across his forehead, taking off the beads of
sweat, for God kuows he is more lit to be
in bed than there.
HOW TO COMPROMISE.
After a while crash goes the money mar
ket, and the demand for manufactured
goods ceases, and the question is whether
to shut up the mill or run on half .time or
lower the wages. The boss calls all his
hands together. They stand around him
wondering what he is going to do. He
says: “Men, the times are hard, the de
mand for our work is very small. Where
I used to make one hundred dollars I don’t
make twenty dollars. You see J)|gm under
great expense here. Now, what shall I
do? I hate to close up and out
of employment, for you have been very
faithful, and I like you, and. you seem to
like me, and you have families to support,
and the bairns must be taken care off, and
the wife must have a new dress before
long. What shall I do?” Silence for a
minute or two, and then one of the work
men steps a little forward from the others
and says: “Boss, you have been good to us.
When you prospered, we prospered. Now,
when you are hard pressed, I propose
that if you will keep the place
open, we throw off twenty per cent, of our
wages, and as soon as things get better
you will remember us. Boys, all in
favor of my motion will say aye!” “Aye!”
“Aye!” shout two hundred voices. After
a while the manufacturer, while getting in
some new machinery, takes a cold, and
! falls sick of the pneumonia. In the pro
cession to the tomb are the workmen, with
sad faces, the tears running clear down
the cheek and off on the ground, and their
wives and children have been waiting an
hour at the open grave in he cemetery for
the arrival of the fune, , pageant. The
minister may have delivered eloquent eu
logium, but the most impressive utterances
are by the working classes who stand
*roun<l The Taavrasttag-pmcwT 3 nam*,
is it not sad?” “ How gwd hajwus to us
,all!” “We shall never have so kind a
friend again.” “ Don’t you remember
when our Charlie died he sent his carriage
to take us to the grave?” “ Oh, is it not
dreadful for his wile and children? God
pity them!” And that night in all the
cabins where the toilers have family
prayers the widowheod and orphanage up
in the mansion are renrreKibered. No irate
population scowling through the iron fence
of the cemetery, but hovering over ail ihe
scene the benediction of God and man.
“ Whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them.”
WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.
“Oh,” you say, “that is Arcadian,
apocryphal, impossible.” No. I can take
you to the storehouses, the factories, the
mines, the great enterprises where this
Christly rule is practiced, and you could
no more get the employer to impose on his
men, or the men to conspire against their
employer, than you could get your right
band and left hand, or your right eye and
your left eye, or right ear and left ear into
physiological antagonism. The place to
begin is in our own homes and in our own
store-houses, and in our own banks and on
our own farms, and in our own
not waiting for others to do their duty.
Are your parlor and kitchen at divergence?
Then there is something wrong either
about the parlor or the kitchen. Are the
clerks of your store out of patience with
the firm? Then there is something wrong
either at the counter or in the private of
fice. What the world wants most griev
ously, wants to-day and wants every-'
where, is the golden rule that Christ pro
mulgated in his sermon Olivetic. All the
political economists under the archivault
of the heavens in convention for a thou
sand years will never silence this mad
dened controversy between fist and brain,
between operative and monopolist.
You say the law of supply and demand
will control every thing to the end of
time. No, it will not unless God dies
and the batteries of the judgment are
spiked and the throne of the universs
is taken by Pluto and Proserpine,
the King and Queen of the infernal
world. Supply and demand have joined
partnership and put their wits together
to rob the world. You are drowning, and
they stand on the shore beside the only
boat and say: “Pay what we ask or go to
the bottom!” You are failing in business
for the lack of five thousand dollars. They
say: “Pay us usury or become bankrupt!”
This robber firm of Supply & Demand
says: “The wheat crop is short, and we
have bought it up and put it in our bin.
Pay our price or starve!” Supply & De
mand own the largest mill on earth, and it
rolls over its wheel all the rivers and puts
into its hopper as many men, women and
children as it can scoop up out of the
centuries, and their blood and bones red
den all the valleys as the grinding goes on.
AS sure as the ages roll toward millennial
release that diabolic firm will have to step
aside for the law of love, the law of co
operation, the law of mercy, the law of
Christ.
LISTENING.
As that law takes sway you will see
more men consecrating their life to human
itarian and evangelical purposes, like
James Lennox and William E. Dodge and
Peter Cooper and George Peabody; more
parks and gardens and ‘picture galleries
will be opened for the people’s holidays.
The pallor will go out of the cheeks of the
workman anil me rrown off his brow and
the gnashing out of his teeth. That day
will surely come. Once, crossing the Al
legheny Mountains, it was said that Henry
Clay, while the stage coach was
went to the edge of the mountain and put
his hand behind his'ear as if to l sten, and
some one asked him what he was listening
for, and he said: “I am listening to the
coming on of the future millions of this
country.” To-day I stand on the mount
ain top of Christian privilege, and on the
rock of I listen to the coming on
of the happy industries aud the coase
cr*ted#rtunes of the closing nineteenth
and the opening twentieth centuries.
A GREAT MAN.
While I speak there lies in state* he great
author jind patriot of France —Victor
Hugo. The ten thousand he left to the
poor of Paris in his will were only a hint
of the grand work he has done for all
nations and all ages. No WgfFder they al
lowed ten days to elapse between liiadeath
and burial, keeping him under trii 'hphal
arch, for neither France nor the wo d can
hardly afford to let him go, thou h for
more than eight decades his unparalleled
genius has blessed it. His name shall for*
ever stand the terror of desp its, the en
couragement of the struggling. He has
made the world’s burden lighter and its
darkness less dense, and its chain less
galling and its thrones of iniquity les
secure. But, after all, he was not thg
great and overtowering friend of man
hood.
MAN’S GREATEST FRIEND.
The greatest friend of capitalist and
toiler, and one who shall bring them into
complete accord, was born on a Christmas
night, while the curtains of the sky swung
as there moved among them the wings an
gelic. Owning all the universe, the great
continents of worlds and the isles of light,
the Capitalist of Immensity. He crosses
over to the poor man’s condition, coming
into our world, not by palace gate, but
door of barn, spending his first night
among shepherds and afterward calling
fishermen from their nets to be his chief
attendants, with the hammer, adze, saw, I
ax and chisel of a carpenter’s shop, show
ing himself to be a brother tradesman, ac-
cepting entertainment at the house of one
who tanned hides for a living, aud, though
having owned all things, surrendering ev
ery thing for others on the hillock back of
Jerusalem, and, without a shekel left to
pay for His obsequies,was buried by char
ity in the suburbs of a city which had
cast Him out. Assuredly at the cross and
grave of such a capitalist and carpenter all
rich men can afford to shake hands and
worship. Here is an every man’s Christ.
None so high but He was higher. None so
poor but He was poorer. At His feet the
hostile extremes of society will renounce
their animosities, md countenances that
glowed in the prejudices and revenges of
centuries shall brighten in the smile of
Hea*"en as He says to them;. “Whatsoever
ye would that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them.”
An angler’s paper speaks of the “shrink

FOUR ACTS PLAYED I
<ad Report About Ex-President Arthur—
Will the Fifth and Final Act Be a
Tragedy.
[Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.]
“Dr. Lincoln, who was at the funeral of”
‘ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen, says ex-”
President Arthur looked very unwell.”
‘Heis suffering from Bright’s disease.”
‘During the past year it has assumed a”
•‘very aggravated form.”
That telegram is Act IV. of a drama
written by ex-President Arthur’s pliysi
lans. In Act I. he was made to appear in'
‘Malaria,” of which all the country was
told when he went to Florida.
In Act 11. he represented a tired man,
worn down, walking tho sands at Old
Point Comfort and looking eastward over
he Atlantic toward Europe for a longer
rest.
The curtain rolls up for Act 111. upon
-.he distinguished actor affected with mel
racholy from bright’s disease, while Act
IV. discovers him with tho disease “in an
aggravated form, suffering intensely,
(which is unusual) and about to take a sea
voyage.”
Just such as this is the plot of many
dramas by play-wrights of the medical
profession. They write the first two or
three acts with no conception of what their
character will develop in the final one.
They have not the discernment for trac
ing in the early what tne latter imperson
ations will be. Not one physician in a
hundred has the adequate microscopic and
chemical appliances for discovering
bright’s disease in its early stages, and
when many do finally comprehend that
their patients are dying with it, when
death occurs, they will, to cover up their
ignorance of it, pronounce the fatality to
have been caused by ordinary ailments,
whereas these ailments are really results
of bright’s disease of which they are un
conscious victims.
Beyond any doubt, £0 per cent, of all
deaths except from epidemics and acci
dents, result from diseased kidneys or
livers. If the dying be distinguished and
his friends too intelligent to be easily de
ceived, his physicians perhaps pronounce
the complaint to be pericarditis, pyeemia,
septicaemia, bronchitis, pleuritis, valvular
lesions of the heart, pneumonia, etc. If
the deceased be less noted, “malaria” is
now the fashionable assignment of the
cause of death.
But all the same, named right or named
wrong, this fearful scourge gathers them
iu! While it prevails among persons of
sedentary habits, —lawyers, clergymen
congressmen,—it also plays great havoc
among farmers, day laborers aud mechan
ics, though they do not suspect it, because
their physicians keep it from them, if in
deed they are able to detect it.
It sweeps thousands of women and chil
dren into untimely graves every year. The
health gives way gradually, the strength
is variable, the appetite fickle, the vigor
gets less and less. This isn’t malaria—it
is the beginning of kidney disease and'will
end—who does not know how?
No, nature has not been remiss. Inde
pendent research has given an infallible
remedy for this common disorder; but of
course the bigoted physician will not use
Warner’s safe cure, because it is a private
affair and cuts up their practice by restor
ing the health of those who have been in
valids for years.
The new saying of “how common bright’s
disease is becoming among prominent
men!”is getting old, and as the English
man would say, sounds “stupid”—espec
ially “stupid” since this disease is readily
detected by the more learned men and spe
cialists of this disease. But the common
run of physicians, not detecting it, give
cho patient Epsom salts or other drugs pre
scribed by the old code of treatment under
which their grandfathers and great-grand
fathers practiced!
Anon, we hear that the patient is “com
fortable.” But ere long, maybe, they tap
him and take some water from him and
again the “comfortable” story is told. Tor
ture him rather than allow him to use
Warner’s safe cure I With such variations
the doctors play upon the unfortunate
until his shroud is made, when we learn
that he died from heart disease, pyaemia,
septicaemia or some other deceptive though
“dignified cause.”
Ex-Prosident Arthur’s case is not singu
lar —it is typical of every such case. “He
is suffering intensely.” This is not usual.
Generally there is almost no suffering.
He may recover, if he will act independ
ently of his physicians. The agency
named has cured thousands of persons even
iu the extreme stages—is to-day the main
stay of the health of hundreds of thou
sands. It is an unfortunate fact that phy
sicians will not admit there is any vir
tue outside of their own sphere, but as
?ach school denies virtue to all others, the
people act on their own judgment and ac
?opt things by the record of merit they
make.
The facts are cause for alarm, but there
is abundant hope in prompt and independ
ent action.
—Of Naples’s 495,000 population,

occurrence in broad daylight. The na

Effrontery.
A case of effrontery was recently
shown in a London court, which is
rather remarkable for the callousness of
the offender. A woman applied to the
Court for a small sum of money from
the poor box, sufficient to establish a
fruit stand. The judge objected, on the
ground that he knew nothing about her,
upon whijh the woman cooly assured
him that she was far from being a
stranger in that court, explaining that
twice she had been sent for trial from
that place, and on each occasion, she as
sured the judge, with a cheerful smile,
a sentence of seven years’ penal servi
tude had followed. Between times, she
admitted, she had served short sentences
in jails for dishonest practices, but was
tired of being a steady lodger in prisons
and jails, and would, if she got a
chance, try to make an honest living.
The Judge, strange to say, directed that
she should receive the required assist
ance.—London Paper.
John H. Cantlin, Chief Engineer Phila
delphia Fire Department, writes: “Icheer
fully endorse the efficacy of lied Star
Cough Cure.”
Who would think that “Liberty En
lightening the World” would lead to base
thoughts? —Boston Budget.
Is There a Cure for Consumption?
We answer unreservedly, yes! If the
patient commences in time the use of Dr.
Pierce’s “ Golden Medical Discovery,” and
exercises proper care. If allowed to run
its too long all medicine is power
less to stay it. Dr. Pierce never deceives
a patient by holding out a false hope for
the sake of pecuniary gain. The “Golden

A sufferer from chronic diarrhoea writes: “I tried
various preparations; but even the simples* gruel
caused pain at night. Commencing with Kidge’s
Food, I found full satisfaction to the appetite and It
was never attended with the slightest discomfort in
digest ion. To test its efficacy, the supper was changed
a few times, but always with a return of distress in
the night.”
NO MORE DANGER!

“Mother’s Friend.”
This invaluable preparation is truly a triumph of
scientific skill, and no more inestimable boon was ever
bestowed upon the mothers of the world, ff fT It not
only shortens the time of labor and lessens the inten
sity of pain, but, better than all, it greatly diminishes
the danger to life of both mother and child.
I most earnestly entreat every female expecting to
be confined to use Mother’s Friend. Coupled with
this entreaty I will add that during a long obstetrical
practice (Fi years) I have never known it to fall to
produce a safe, quick delivery. 11. J. Holmes. M. I).,
