Aud these men were right.

Ho today a new conflict appears. Wine and determined action will prevent all appeal to arms, while the cry of sub mission to Knglish money lords, heard from our modern tories, if acquiesced in, will surely bring u bloody struggle whenever the people fullycomprehei.il tbo fact that iu thin way freedom ami itn opporttiuiticH have been bartered away. The conllict between manhood and Mammon, which, although un old an history, took 01. u more pronounced phase in 17)1, ban now iu itn present form been before the people of this country for nearly a quarter of a cent ury. Tho time of decisive uetiou approaches, aud everybody known it, Kithor the people ure to regain the old freedom of opportunityi.njiic(l in the earlier year of the republic or they ure to sink low er and lower iu the his'ial scale. Tho struggle is one of moral right and mor al worth against the power of money It ban been aptly described an the light of the almighty dollar against Almighty (lod. This in the (ruth.

While all intelligent men will agree that a crisis approaches there in no agreement n garOiug the principles in volved or the ground properly occupied by the champions of friedom, This is (he great want of the time.

"It in tho free gift of God, and wo are bold responsi ble for the right use and exercise of this gift We cannot rightfully alieuate, give or barter it away. Nor can any other person, power or government rightfully deny or abridge this right ex cept as punishment for crime whereof we may have been duly convicted. It in an inaliouablo right. It is lso self evi dent, if this right cuuuot be rightfully denied or ubridged, that whatever in essential to the right is also included, for otherwise the right in graduully tukeu away and denied. Air 1m essen tial to life. If air is denied, even iu part, the right to life in gradually do st roved. Aud mo of all other essentials. Indeed, it in one of the fundamental ax iom of luw and equity that a grunt in cludes all essentials to the grant. It follows, then, naturally that un the Cre ator, or nature, ban granted u life, holding un to a strict accountability un der tbo lawn of nature for the right uso of it, tho Creator ban also given ua an a free gift all that 1m necessary and onsen tlal to tbo enjoyment of thin grant of life, for otherwise we could not be held acenuntablo for tbo uso we make of it. Aud thin also in self evident. In a Mtato of nature or under tho law of na ture all men havo un equal right to use what are culled naturul opportnnitieii that is, the earth in a slate of nature. All, in tlio absence of Mtalnto luw, have an equal right to cultivate a sutllclent portion of the earlh's surface for self support, to ilsh iu tho sea, to delvo in tho mine, etu. Thin in sufllcient for tho preservation of life, und tho right to apply labor to natural opportunities i the 0110 essential to life, without which it cannot be preserved, save by tho pay ment of unjust tribute to those who possess no warrant from tho Creator, or nature, for its exaction, That In, thin tribute or payment fur tbo l ight to live in unnatural, making void tlio original grunt. Aud the exaction of thin tribute, contrury to tbo lawn of nature and of Uod, in the fundamental error iu ull ,irogrt,HH aud ul m ,.uilcd civilization, Tbl- win mmt .,. .,.,, , ,, wll),u tnukcM it worth tho living, in tho prod uct of human exertion applied to natu ral opportunities. Weulth and the means of living are obtained iu 110 other way, Tho means of living, it must bo evi dent, are part and parcel of the grant of life, for if the meann whereby life 1m prolonged are denied tho right to life, which it in agreed in inalienable, in de stroy ed, And thin in readily seen to be true by a reference to iuum'h past his tory. All tho buried nations of antiqui ty, all previous civili,utionn, huvn per ished simply und solely because man's fundamental rights havo been denied. Nor in this a new doctrine. Tho pre amble to tho grand declaration of the national assembly of Franco iu 17, composed at that time of tho wisest aud best, recites: "Tbo representatives of tho people of France, formed into a national assem bly, considering that ignorance, neglect or contempt of human rights are the solo causes of public misfortunes uud Ki'Muvillv n tii 1. ii-iiiniii-n aw corruptions of government, buvo resolv ed to set forth in u solemn declaration those natural, imprescriptible uml in alienable rights and do rocogni.o und declare, iu tho iiresei.ee of the Hupreme Being, uud with the hope of bis blessing und favor, tbo following sacred rights of men und citizens." I The French people iu their declara tion, as did the Americans in theirs, built upon the only foundation which can endure the fundamental aud natu ral right of man to the use of natural opportunities. AH tyranny begins in a denial by men to their brothers of the equal use of the free gifts of a common Father. So today the monopolist, the destroyer of liberty, like Cain, bin an cient prototype, conspires against bin brothers, set-king to possess himself of tbo favoy of Ood bestowed equally up on ull.

Bluckstouu tells ns, iu his principles of luw, thut all valid law is based upon that natural aud instinctive apprehen sion of justice which finds universal lodgment iu tho l.eurt of man. Indeed, ho says, in hyperbolical language, "Law hath her seat iu the bosom of Ood. " Aud thin is true of just luw, but men nowadays are aware thut the luw with which we havo to do has its "seat" in the pocket of tho richest suitor. "All men have not the dattt of science, but ull have the data of ethics," and woo to that nation w here men fuel that injus tice overpowers them. To deny the equal right of ull incu to sit at tlm well spread board of a com mon Futher in to deny the brotherhood of man. This is the sin which nature has never failed to punish, uud her re venges uro always sure, though often long delayed, Deprived of access to na ture's bnuuticM, man, iu the muss, ul wayn degenerates. The city, that plague spot upon clvlliulinn, must bo con stantly ru-enforocd from tho country. "Crowd poison" in not purely 11 phys ical, it is ulso a mental, cll'cct. De generation is nl ways communicated to the remotest liber, aud thus society be comes unnatural, hideous iu its injus tice aud deformity, und is prepared for the dcsl ruction nf (bid. Hut that this brotherhood does exist scorns susceptible of tho (dearest proof from physical sources. Kach man bus two parents, and each of these bus two, one's ancestry I bun increasing ut each remove by geometrical progression un til ut the end of ilO or 40 generations a man might trace, direct relationship tit a greater number of people than at pres ent exist upon the globe, A single thou sand yearn are sulllciei.t for thin, und yet our scientific men place 00,000 years an t he shortest possible time which tbo testimony of tho rocks gives us the measure of man's occupancy of the earth. Many place it ut millions of yearn. In the profound depths of the al most illimitable past ull mil ions and all races must bu found iuextricubly com mingled, "(bill hath made of ouo blood ull the children of men," Hut there in another jinsif a divine sympathy w ith sorrow uud sulferiug ex ists iu every well ordered mind. Kven the rough crowd upon tlm street will not see it weakling abused ut the hands of a stronger Hoi-row and su tiering, steadily shown und thoroug !. exposed, llnally have their remedy coining from that responsive chord which proclaims the brother. Mind, soul, spirit, cull it what yon will, must bu reckoned with. And today this in being aroused un lawy er before. The impious reply of Cain to the demand of Ood regarding the wel fare of his brother, "1 know not ; am 1 my brother's keeper?" will no longer sulllce. Conscious existence is not ma terial. It belongs to 11 not her realm. Thought in from tin exterior source uud Varies iu power us reluted to that great Oversold that in all and iu all. Thin is tlio foundation und origin of the diviu ily of man.

Freedom ami opportunity make possible the enlightened pursuit of happiness, uud happiness is, after all, the aim uud object of all men, One may seek it in 0111) direction and another in another, but, the end sought in the same. The tliinf steals iu the belief that he call in that way add to the sum of ids enjoy ment, the enlightened philanthropist, spends his life in the endeavor to assist and befriend for the reason chiefly that otherwis" le would be unhappy.
