Tlir Meaning of Anarchy—So
lutton of the Problem,
Following is th« opening discourse of a
series on the Labor Question delivered by
Rev. T. DeWitt Tahnage in Brooklyn
Tabernacle. The text was:
The earth was without form, and void;
and .darkness was upon the face of the
deep. And the spirit of God moved upon
the face of the waters —TGenesis, 1., 2,
Dr. Talmagesnid:
Out in space there hung a great chunk
of rock and mud ami water and shell.
Thousands of miles in diameter, more
thousands of miles in circumference. A
great mass of ugliness, confusion and
distortion, uselessness, ghastliness and
horror. It geemed like a great commons
on which smashed-up worlds were dumped.
It was what poetry and prose, scientist
and Christian agree in calling chaos. Out
of that black, rough, shapeless egg bur
beautiful world was hatched. God stood
over that original anarchy of elements
and said:
“Atlantic ocean, you go right away and
lie down there! Pacific ocean, you sleep
there! Caucasian range of mountains,
you stand there? Mount Washington, you
be sentinel there! Mount Blanc, you put
on your coronet of crystal there! Missis
sippi, you march there and Missouri you
marry it there!”
And he gathered in his almighty hands
the sand and mud and rock, and rolled
and heaved and molded and dented and
compressed them into shape, and then
dropped them into four places; and the
one was Asia, and another was Europe,
and another Africa, and another America,
north and south.
The original chaos was like the confusion
and anarchy into which the human race
hag ever and anon a tendeucy to plunge.
God has said: “Let there be light ofdaw,
light of justie'e, light of peace, light of
love!” “No! no!” say anarchic voices;
“let there be darkness, let there be cut
throaterv, let there be eternal imbroglio,
let there be chaos.”
Such a social condition many are ex
pecting because of the overshadowing
contest between labor and capital; there
has not been an intelligent man or woman
during the last two months who has not
asked the question: “Shall we have
bloody revolution in this country?” I
have heard many answer the question in
the affirmative; I answer it in the nega
tive.
There may be and there have been ter
rific outbursts of popular frenzy, but there
will be no anarchy, for the church of
Christ, the mightiest and grandest institu
tion of the planet, shall, laying hold of
the strength of the eternal God, come out,
and putting one hand on the shoulder of
labor and the other on the shoulder of cap
ital say: •
“I come in the name of the God who
turned chaos into magnificent order, to
settle this dispute by the principles of
eternal justice and kindness; and now I
command you, take your hands off of each
other’s throats.”
The only impartial institution on this
subject is the church, for it is made up of
both capitalists and laborers, and was
founded by Christ, who was a carpenter,
ind so has a right to speuk for all labor
ers; and who owns the earth and the solar
system and the universe, and so can speak
for the capitalists.
As for myself, as an individual I have a
right to be heard. My father was a farmer
and my grandfather, and they had to work
for a living, and every dollar I own I
earned by the sweat of my own brow, and
I owe no man anything, and if any obliga
tion has escaped my memory, come and
present your bill when I descend from this
pulpit and I will pay on the spot. lam
going to say all I think and feel on this
subject, and without any reservation, ask
ing your prayers that I may he divinely
directed in this important series of Sab
ath morning discourses.
That labor has grievances I will show
you plainly before I get through this
course of sermons. That capital has had
outrages committed upon it I will make
evident beyond dispute. But there are
right and wrong ways of attempting a
reformation.
When I say there will be no return to
social chaos I do not underrate the awful
peril of these times. We must admit that
the tendency is toward revolution. Great
throngs gather at some points of disturb
ance in almost all our cities. Rail trains
hurled over the rocks. Workmen beaten
to death within sight of their wives and
children. Factories assailed by mobs.
The faithful police of our cities exhausted
by vigilance night and day. In some
cases the military called out. The whole
country asking the question: “What
next?” An earthquake has with one hand
taken hold of this continent at the Pacific
beach, and with the other hand has taken
hold of the continent at the Atlantic
beach, and shaken it till every manufact
uring, commercial, agricultural, literary
and religions interest has trembled. A
part of Belgium one great riot. Russia
and Germany and Austria keeping their
workmen quiet only by standing armies
so vast that they are eating out the life of
those nations. The only reason that Ire
land is in peace is because she is hoping
for home rule and the triumph of Glad
stoneism. The labor quarrel is hemis
pheric, aye, a world-wide quarrel, and
the whole tendency is toward anarchy.
But one way in which we may avoid an
archy is by letting the people know what
anarchy is. We must have the wreck
pointed out in order to steer clear of it.
Anarchy is abolition of right of property.
It makes your store and your house and
your money and your family mine, and
mine yours. It is wholesale robbery. It is
every man’s hand against every other
man. It is arson and murder and rapine
and lust and death triumphant. It means
no Jaw, no church, no defense, no rights,
no happiness, no God. It means hell let
loose on earth, and society a combination
of devils incarnate. It means extermina
tion of everything good and the corona
tion of every thing infamous. . Do you
want it? Will you have it?
Meanwhile, my brotherly counsel is to
three classes of laborers.
First, to those who are at work. Stick
to it. Do not amid the excitement of
these times drop your employment, hoping
that something better will turn up. He
who gives up work now, whether he be
railroad man, mechanic, farmer, clerk or ,
any other kind of employe, will probably
give it up for starvation. You may not like
the line of steamers that you are sailing
in, but do not jump overboard in the mid
dle of the Atlantic. Be a little earlier
than usual at your post of work while this
turmoil lasts, and attend to your occupa
tion with a little more assiduity than has
ever characterized yon.
My brotherly counsel, ih the second
place, is to those who have resigned work.
It is best for you and best for everybody
to go back immediately. Do not wait to
see what others do. Get on board
the train of National prosperity
before it starts again, for start it will,
start soon and start mighty. Last
year in the city of New York there were
forty-five general strikes and 177 shop
strikes. Successful strikes, ninety-seven;
strikes lost, thirty-four; strikes pending
at the time the statistics were made, fifty
nine; strikes compromised, thirty-two.
Would you like me to tell you who wiKI
make the' most out of the present almost
universal strike? I can and will. Those
will make the most out of it who go first to
work.
My third word of brotherly advice is to
another class of laborers—namely, those
who have been a long time out of work.
How many of them? Before this present
trouble began there weie nearly ‘2,000,000
people in this country out of work and
could not get work. I have worn myself
out again and again, as many of you have,
to get employment for those who be
sought it. In some cases we succeeded, in
others failed. My brotherly counsel is to
the nearly 2,000,000 people who could not
get work before this trouble began, and
who have themselves and their families to
support, to go now and take the vacated
places. Go in and lake these places
a million and a half strong. Green
hands you may be now, but you will not
be green hands long.
My sentiment is full liberty for all who
want to strike to do so, and full liberty for
all who want to take the vacated places.
Other industries will open for those who
are now taking a vtftation, for we have
only opened the outside door of this conti
nent, and there is room in this country for
800,000,000 people, and for each one of them
a borne, and a livelihood and a God.
So, however others may feel about this
excitement, as wide as the continent, I am
not scared a bit. The storm will hush,
Christ will put his foot ilpon it as upon ag
itated Galilee. As at the beginning, chaos
will give place to order as the spirit of God
moves upon the waters. But hear it, work
ingmen of America! Your first step toward
light and betterment of oondition will he
an assertion of your individual independ
ence from the dictation of your fellow
workmen. You are a free man, and let no
organization come between you and your
best interests. Do not let any man or any
body of men tell you where you shall
work, or where you shall not work; when
you shall work or when you shall not
work. If a man wants to belong to labor
organizations let him belong. If he does
not want to belong to a labor organization
let him have perfect liberty to stay out.
You own yourself. Let no man put a
manacle on your hand, or foot, or head, or
heart.
I belong to a ministerial association that
meets once a week I love all the mem
bers very much. We may help each other
in a hundred ways, but *hen that, associa
tion shall tell me to quit my work and go
somewhere else, that I must stop right
away because a brother minisler has been
badly treated down in Texas, I will say to
that ministerial association: “Get thee
behind me, Satan !” Furthermore, I have
a right to resign my pastorate of this
church and say to the people: “I decline
to work for you any longer. lam going,
“Good-by.” But 1 linger around the doors
on Sunday mornings and evenings with a
shot gun to intimidate or hinder the min
ister who comes to take my place. 1 may
quit my place and continue to be a gentle
man, but when 1 interfere with my suc
cessor in this pulpit I become a criminal
and deserve nothing better tlpm soup in a
tin bowl in Sing Sing penitentiary. Here
is a statement that I would have every
laborer put in his memorandum book or
paste in his hat, and every newspaper put
at the head of its columns. There are
now about 12,000,000 people in this country
receiving wages, and about 600,000 be
longing to organizations that control
their labor. I would have all the
j 600,000 do as they please, a' d I would
i have all the other 11,400,000 dc as they
please. You will admit that the 600,000 in
such organizations ought not to control
the 11,400,000 laborers not in them. "Your
first duty, O laboring man ! is it to your
family. Let no one but Almighty God
dictate to you how you shall support
them. Work when you please, where you
please, at what you please, and allow no
one for a hundredth-millionth part of a
second to interfere with your right. When
we emerge from the present unhappiness,
as we soon will, we shall find inanv tyran
nies broken and labor and capital will
march shoulder to shouffler.
Relief will come to the working classes
of this country through a better under
standing between capital and labor. Be
fore this contest goes much further it will
be found that interests are idlntii-al; what
helps one, helps both; one,
injures both. Bhow me any poinMn the
world’s history of 6,000 years where cap
ital was prospered and labor oppressed, or
where prospered and capital op
pressed. What is the state of things now?
Labor at its wit’s end to get bread. Cap
ital at its wit’s end to pay the taxes and
keep the store and factory running. Show
me any point in tbe last fiftv years where
capital was getting large accumulation,
and I will show you the point at which
labor was getting large wages. Show me
a point at any time in the last fifty years
where labor was getting large wages, and
I will show you the point whej e capital
was getting large profits. Until the crack
of doom there will be no relief for the
working classes until there is a better
understanding between capital and labor
and this war ends. Every speech that
capital makes against labor is an adjourn
ment of our National prosperity. Every
speech that labor makes against capital is
. an adjournment of our National prosper
ity.
The distance between capital and labor
is not a great gulf over which is swung a
Niagara suspension bridge; it is only a
step, and the laborers here will cross over
and become capitalists and the capitalists
will cross over and become laborers.
Would to God they would shake hands
while they are crossing, these from cne
side and those from the other side.
The combatants in this great war be
tween capital *u« labor are chiefly, on the
one side, men ot fortune, who have never
been obliged to toil end who despise toil,
and, on the other hand, men who could get
labor, but will no' n«ve it, will not stick to
*t. It is the hand the e> or the
eye cursing the hand. I want it under
stood that the laborers are the highest
style of capitalists. Where is their in
vestment? In the bank? No. In railroad
stock? No. Their muscles, their nerves,
their bones, their mechanical skill, their
physical health, are the highest kind ol
capital. The man that has two feet, and
two ears, and two eyes, and ten fingers,
owns a machinery that puts into nothing
ness Corliss’ engine and all the railroad
rolling stock, and all the carnet, and
screw, and cotton factories on tlft planet.
I wave the iiag of truce this morning be
tween these contestants. I demand a ces
sation of hostilities between labor and
capital. What is good for one is good for
both. What is bad for one is bad for both.
Again: Relief will come to the working
classes of this country through a cp-opera
tive association. lam not now referring
to trades’ unions. We may hereafter dis
cuss that question. But I refer to that
plan by which laborers become their ow n
capitalists, taking their surpluses and put
ting them together and carrying on great
enterprises. In England and Wales there
are 765 co-operative associations, with
300,000 members, with a capital of $14,000,-
000, doing business in one year to the
amount of $27,000,000. In Troy, N. Y.,
there was a co-operative iron foundry as
sociation. It worked well long enough to
give an idea of what could be accom
plished when the experiment is fully de
veloped. Thomas Brassey, one of the
first of the English Parliament, declared:
“Co-operation is the one and only solution
of this question; it is the sole path by
which the laboring classes as a whole, c#
any large number of them, will ever
emerge from the hand-to-mouth mode of
living and get their share in the rewards
and honors of our advanced civilization.”
Thomas Hughes, the ablest and the most
brilliant friend of the workingman; Lord
Derby, John Stewart Mill, men who gave
half their lifetime to the study of this
question, all favor co-operative associa
tion.
Again: I remark that relief will come
to the working classes through more thor
ough discovery on the part of employers
that it is best for them to let their employ
es know just how matters stand. The most
of the capitalists of to-day are making
less than six per cent., less than five per
cent., less than four per cent, on their in
vestments. Here and there is an anaconda
swallowing down every thing, but such
are the exceptions. It is often the case
that employes blame their employer be
cause thev suppose he is getting along
grandly, when he is oppressed to the last
point of oppression. 1 knew a manufactur
er who employed more than a thousand
hands. I said to him:
“Do you ever have any trouble with
your workmen? Do you have any strikes?”
“No,” he said.
“What! in this time of angry discus
sion between capital and labor, no
trouble?”
“None at all—none.”
1 said: “How is that?”
“Well,” he said, "I have a way of my
own. Every little while I call my em
ployes together, and I say: ‘Now, boys,
I want to show you how matters stand.
What you turned out this year brought
me so much. You see it isn’t as
much as we got last year. I can’t
afford to pay you as much as I did.
Now, you know 1 put all my means in this
business. What do you think ought to lie
my percentage, and what wages ought 1
to pay you. Come, let us settle this.’
And,” said the manufaclurer, “we are al
ways unanimous. When we suffer we all
suffer together. When we advance, we
advance together, and my men would die
for me.”
But when a man goe* among bis em
ployes air, and drives
up to Kb factory as though he were the
autocrat of the universe, with the sun and
the moot* in his vest pockets, moving amid
the wheels of the factory, chiefly anxious
lest a greased or smirched hand shoif 1
touch his immaculate broadcloth, he will
see at the end he has made an awful mis
take. I think that employers will find out
after a while that it is to their interest, as
far as possible, to explain matteriUfe their
employes. You be frank with timm, and
they will be frank with you. f.
Again: I remark, relief will come to IMS
la holing classes through the religious ra
tification of the country. Labor is appre
ciated and rewarded just in proportion as
a country is Christianized. Why is our
smallest coin a penny, while in China it
takes six or a dozen pieces to make om
penny, the Chinese carrying in his own
country the “cash,” as it is called, around
his neck like a stflng of beads, a dozen of
these pieces necessary to make the value
of one of our pennies? In this country for
nothing do we want to pay less than a
penny. In China they often have to pay
the sixth of a penny, or the twelfth of a
penny. What, is the difference! Chris
tianity. Show me a community that is
thoroughly infidel and I will show you a
community where wages are small. Show
me a community that is thortiughly
Christianized and I will show’ yoii
a community where wages are compara
tively large. How do I account for it?
The philosophy is easy. Our religion is a
democratic religion. It makes the owner
of the mill understand he is a brother to
all the operatives in that mill. Born of the
same Heavenly Father, to lie down in the
same dust, to be saved by the same su
preme mercy. No putting on of airs in rhe
sepulcher or in the judgment. I do not
care how much money you bave, you have
not enough money to buy your way through
the gate. Ido not care how poor you are,
if you have the grace of God in your heart
no one can keep you out. It' tue
shining gate-keeper, smitten by some
injustice, should try to keep you
out. all Heaven would fly from
their thrones, and they would cry:
“Let him in! Let him in!” My friends,
you need to saturate our population w ith
the religion of Christ, and wages will be
larger, employers wili be more considerate,
all the tides of thrift will set it.' I have
the highest authority for saying that busi
ness is profitable for the life that now is.
It pays for the employer. It pays for the
employe. The religion of Christ comes
out to rectify all the wrongs of the world,
and it will yet settle this question between
labor and capital just as certainly as you
sit there and I stand here. The hard hand
of the wheel and the soft hand of the
counting-room will clasp each other yet.
They will clasp each other in congratula
tion. They will clasp each other on
the glorious morning of the millennium.
The hard hand will sav: “I plowe.i the
desert into a garden;” the soft baud will
reply: “I furnished the seed.” The one
band will say: “I thrashed the inrun
tains;” the other hand will say: “I paid
for the flail.” The one hand will sav: “I
hammered the spear into a pruning-hook,”
and the other hand will answer: “I signed
the treaty of peace that made that pos
sible.” Then capital and labor will lio
down together, and the lion and th- lamb,
and the leopard and the kid. nd thf-i c- will
be nothing to hurt or to o tstrov in all
God’s holy mount, for the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it.
MILLIONS OF BALLS.
The Craze for Buse-Ball Won’t. I>ie Out
for Wan’fc of Sustenance.
A fair estimate of the number of balls
made for the present season is said to
be 5,000,000, or one for every ten of
the population of the entire country.
The hard, unyielding base-balls that
are now used by professional ball play
ers arc very different articles from those
which were in vogue a quarter of a
century ago. In fact, they differ as
greatly as the present game of base
ball does from that which was played
in those days. “Dead” or professional
base-balls are made entirely by hand.
According to rules laid down by the
League they must weigh within
five and a quarter ounces. A
little rubber ball, weighing two ounces,
is used as the foundation for two ounces
of woolen yard that is wound around
the ball, and permits of it coming within
the regulation size, weight and shape. The
limit in size is nine inches in circumfer
ence. The yarn used makes the circumfer
ence of the hall considerably more than
this, but it is corrected by undergoing
a hammering process, after which the
little spheres are turned over to the
coverers, who invest them with a casing
of horse hide, sewn with linen thread.
Non-professional balls are made by ma
chinery. To show the difference in the
speed, care and cost of manufacturing
base balls, it may be stated that a cer
tain factory near New York can turn
out 48,000 machine-made balls in a day,
while the limit of manufacture for
“dead” balls in the same time is eigh
teen.
The balls made in the days when it
was customary to strike a winner out
between bases by hitting him with the
ball were made largely of India-rubber.
To do this with the “dead” ball now
made would often be death to the per
son hit.
That 5,000,000 balls have been made
for the present season is not surprising,
when it is remembered that there are
scores of amateur clubs—juvenile and
otherwise—in almost every city of the
Union, and each member of these nu
merous clubs is the possessor of from
one to ten base tails.—AT. Y. Mail and
Express.

BULL’S SARSAPARILLA.
THE LIVER
Secrete* the bile and arts like a Alter to cleanse Impurities
of the blond. Bj irregularity in lift nrtlnn or suspensions of
it* function*, the bile poison* the blood, causing jaundice,
sallow complexion, weak em, bilious diarrhoea, a languid,
weary feeling, and many other dlitmulnf symptom* general*
ly termed liver troubles. These are relieved at once hy the
use of ML Bl Li/S SARSAPARILLA, the great blood re*
solvent.
Dr. JonN Bull.—l have been for a number of years
severely afflicted with a mercurial headache and a
dull, heavy pain in my liver. Three bottles of Bull’s
Sarsaparilla gave me more relief than all the others
combined. T- H. OWENS, Louisville, Ky.
Dr. John Bull.— I have examined the prescription
for the preparation of Du. John Bi ll’s Sarsapa
rilla, and believe the combination to be an excellent
one, and well calculated to produce an alterative im
pression on the system. I have used it both in public
and private practice, and think it the best article of
Sarsaparilla in use.

KIDNEYS
Are the great secretory organ* of the body.
Into and through the Kidneys flow the waite
fluids containing poisonous matter taken from
Ibe system. If the Kidneys do not act properly
this matter is retained and poisons the blood,
musing headache, weakness, pain in the small of hark and
loins, flushes of heat, chills, with disordered stomach and
bowels. HI LL’S HARSAI'AKII.LA acts as a diuretic on the
kidneys and bowels, and directly on the blood -as well, cads*
line the great organs of the body to resume tiieir natural
functions, and health is at onee restored.
Dr. Jons Bull.—l hive used Bull's Sarsaparilla
for rheumatism and kidney trouble, arid my sdo h*s
Liken it for asthma and general debility. It has
given us both Jrreat relief. Yourstrulv,

Scrofula of Lungs.
I am now 49 years old, and have suffered for the last
flfteen years with a lung trouble,. I have spent thou,
sands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease;
hut temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was
unfit for any manual labor for several years. A friend
strongly recommended the use of Swift's Specific (S.
S. S.), claiming that he himself had been greatly
benefited by Its use In some lung troubles. I resolved
to try It. Tbe results are remarkable. Myeoughhas
left me. my strength has returned, and I weigh sixty
Pounds more than I ever did in my life. It has been
three years since I stopped the use of the medicine
hut 1 have had no return of the disease, and there are
no pains or weakness felt In my lungs. Ido the hard
etft kind of work. t J Holt

Get the Best
I* a good motto to follow in buying a spring medicine,'
as well as In everything else. Fy the universal satis
fact’en It haa given, and by the many remarkable
cures it has accomplished, llood*B Sarsaparilla haa
proven Itself unequaled for building up and atrengt h
ening the system, and for all diseases arising from or
promoted by impure blood. Do not experiment with
any unheard-of and untried art.clc which you are told
Is “just as good," but be sure to get only Hood’s Sarsa
parilla.
“ I consider Hood’s Sarsaparilla the best medicine I
ever used. It gives me an appetite and refreshing
sleep, and keeps the cold out." John S. Fogs, 106
