WHO AR1 AJMX1 "JSH:AK1!S" OF AMISRIOA..
Tlio "SHAKERS" urn a religious sect, founded by Anna Leo in 1770, tin miiiiu "S1IAKKR" being given them owing to some peculiarities of t lit lr form
of worship. They live as a community, holding :ill property m common, with no individual wraith; jet they t-cnil lltittt not a dcinoctacy hut a
'iheooracy, because tlioy derive their coniniou government from religious instead of worldly .sources. The "SIIAK.IQUS" have long been known
formauy peculiar traits of character. Their strict intcgiity has won for them an enviable post .inn in the biiMiioss world. Their woid
litH como to bn recognized as being as good as a government bond, and their goods arc always just what is claimed by the community
manufacturing or selling thum Their .supreme rule of life it this: "As ye would thatoiheis should do unto you; do ye oveii.su un
to them." Another inexorable law of tho "SIIAKKUS" is to ho free from debt. The "SI1AKKUS" owe no man aught, and no
person can truthfully sar that a "SHAKhU" ever dcfiauded him out of one cent. In every branch of business in which
they are engaged, their goods are recognized as standard of equality; as for instance Shaker Flannel and Stinker (tardea
Seeds. They neither marry nor aropiven in mariiage, consequently no children are born unto them. Tney live a
life of virgin purity and manly celibacy and perpetuate tliu religion by adopting healthy children of good mor
al parentage ami aiso 03- convening 10 wicir oeuei pcopio 01 goon euaraeier wining 10 amue 03 ineir iiiwn.
They have no courts and settle all disputes by arbitration. They do not vote and light no buttles, conse
quently never enlist as soldiers. Their sole object lining to live a Hie ot peace and happiness. 1 here
are no dioues among tho "bUAKhlls," each must do ir.ri snare oi the work of the cmiimuiiiiy. All
are amply provided for in health, sickness and old ngs. Theie aiemauy commuuilicj in the
United fatates all .S'ioeetto the same lines as nave Deen ini"HV stated in this 'irticle.
