HO BHOTEEH1Y LOVE IS BUSINESS.
By A. B. Siickncy.
I have never seen much of an exhibition
of the effects of brotherly love in commercial
affairs , and my opinion is that if the presi
dent of a railway shoukl attempt to run it
ou brotherly love , the road would be scalped
bareheaded in thirty minutes , and at the end
of the month there would be no money in
the treasury with which to pay wages.
Probably tiie largest fortune which has ever
been amassed in this or any otlur country by oue man in
a single life has been produced in the last forty years in
the iron trade.-It has been the direct result of a law of
Congress , enacted to benefit labor. Under this law , dur
ing the years in which this enormous fortune was accu
mulating , the government has enforced the collection of
a tax from the other industries of the country , ranging
from 927.30 down to $7.C0 per ton on his entire output ,
not one dollar of. which was intended or ever did go into
the treasury of the government , but every dollar of which
was paid to ( his ironmaster. In dealing with wages , he
stood firmly by the natural laws , never paying if penny
more than the law of supply and demand compelled. The
law enriched the employer instead-of the employe. The
mploycr has built palaces and bounht castles. The em
ployes live in the same miserable chanties as before.
This act of Congress is still in force , enriching the
greatest organization of capital which the world has
ever known. My judgment throws to the wind all the
theories of equitable distribution by brotherly love or by
legislation. 1 believe that in economic affairs the only
way to get a fair share is to bo prepared always to light ,
and uhen necessary to fight for it.

cring the treiicndous increase in the

lieve that the manner in which the

tlpn , more important
tiiau the evil"disclosed was the attitude of the people
toward it. Devotion to duty and strict discharge of Hon
orable obligation to both individual and public are not
hypocritically preached , but are the sincere and insistent
'
demand of the American people irnui one'end of the land
to the other. Individual shortcomings are many , but the
moral judgment of , the community Is keen and severe.
In this we find just cause for satisfaction.
In a democracy stability depends upon the rclgu of rea
son , and it is the fact that we are a common people that
gives us assurance for the future. Democracy has con
stantly to struggle against three abuses. This is illus
trated by concerted-attempts on the part of those who
find themselves in a strong position to put others at a
disadvantage by unfair means. It is the business ofi a
free government , desiring so far as possible to give each
individual a fair chance , to put a stop to improper practices -
ticos designed to restrict tlie area of opportunity. Then
there is the abuse of privileges received from the gov
ernment Itself the misuse of public franchises granted
upon condition that they shall be used to benefit the
public. It is the business of a free government to se
cure the just use of such franchises for the public benefit.
There is also the abuse of the system of government It
self by prostituting representative powers to selfish ad
vantage. To guard against these abuses and put an end
to them whore they exist the people must bo constantly
alert.

' Because't isn't conspicuous. If it
made you conspicuous you wouldn't.
You know perfectly we'll that you
wouldn't. You'd go straight to a hat

"Do yon mean to say that sweet lit

"Then , 1 think I should want to be
conspicuous. " said the man. decidedly.
"You can wear your straw hat. then. ' '
retorted his wife. "Of course if you
feel that you can't afford to have me
dress as other women do I have noth
ing more to say. I'll wear a shawl
over my head if you think it is abso
lutely necessary. But I think "
"Now. don't get excited , my dear , "
said the man. "You know perfectly
well that it isn't a question of money.
I don't care anything at all about that.
I was just arguing that it was absurd
to go tothe exp-.Miso when it seemed
to be entirely superfluous. When you
get the worst of an argument that's
the way you always are. "
"I don't see that I have got the worst
of it. " said his wife.
"You never will sec it. " said the
man. "I'll show you that you arc quite
illogical. You say that'you don't want
to bo conspicuous and yet you say that
the trimming is going to cost $ lo. "
"If I get the plumes , but then I can
use them on some other hat. You said
just now that you weren't talking

far from there being many different roads leading to
heaven , there is In fact only one viz. : obedience to the
divine revealed law. is'o man may think himself excused
from obeying it , and if anyone loses heaven , he alone is
to blame.
A divine rule of conduct Involving life and death must
be the same for all men , it must bo unchangeable , and it
must be known easily. God might have revealed or made
known the divine law personally and directly to each
individual man in a miraculous and unmistakable man
ner If lie had wished to do so , but this was not neces
sary. What lie actually did was to make it known to
certain men through the teaching of Jesus Christ ; these
men were instructed by Him during three years , and
organized into a teaching society called the church , and
lie commanded thorn to "go and teach all nations , " prom
ising to bo with them In their teaching "until the end of
the world. "
Jesus Christ has taught that those who wilL not accept
the teaching of the church arc those who do not know
what the divine revealed law is in these plain and un
mistakable words : "If any man will not hear the church ,
let him bo to you as the heathen ; " the heathen , of course ,
arc those who have not yet learned the divine revealed
law. But God will make it easy for anyone to learn what
that law is , and to obey it , and thus reach salvation , if
ho sincerely and humbly bogs the divine assistance.

enough for me. "
"Don't you think I aui right ? "
"Oh , of course , you arc always
right. "
"Apd that style will go out before
the winter is over. " said the man. "All
these very marked fashions do. They
get imitated in the very cheapest.kind
of mnfoTrials until the best people the
realty fashionable people throw them
away. You know that is so. I've heard
you say that mysvif. * '
/'Yes. that is so. " sighed his wife.
"Well , isn't it ? And that last fall's
hat is really as tasteftil and becoming
a i it can be and it wouldn't bo : lt all
noticeable. "
"It's lovely. " agreed his wife. "And
as far as being noticed is concerned no
body is likely to notice anything I wear.
What does it matter ? "
"Don't talk that way , " pleaded the
man. "You know I want you to have
what you want and I don't grudge the
expense. But you sny yourself that I'm
right. "
"Yes , you're perfectly right , " said
his wife. "But I want the hat ! I
want the hat ! I want the hat ! "
"Then if' it's like that , " said the
man , wisely , "you certainly will have
to have it. "
A Capricious Appetite.
"It's awful trying this catering to a
sick girl , " Mrs. Douglas confessed to
the friendly visitor who had called to
inquire for Amy.
. * 'I believe this convalescent business
comes harder on mo than her real sick
ness. " continued Mrs. Douglas , with a
deep sigh. I'm that put to it to get
something that she'll eat with a relish ,
I get all riled up sometimes trying to
tempt her. "
The visitor murmured something
sympathetic , and thus encouraged , Mrs.
Dounlas went on.
"Only yesterday , " she said , "I got her
a pork chop and five cents' worth of
marshmallows for her dinner , and if
you'll believe me she turned up her
nose an' said she couldn't eat a mite ! "

in Gilt Jrimen on Tlieiv Gouts.
What does a lumber jack want of a
little round tintype of himself in a
near-gilt frame to pin on his coat ?
What does an elephant want of a mili
tary hair brash ? In the. latter case
he doesn't , but in the former ho thinks ;
he does. Ask the man who is talcing j
the tintypes down on Bridge square
if you want to he doesn't Know. It
isn't exactly wise to ask Oie lumber
jacks , for they aren't feeling any too
meek and mild these days , says the
Minneapolis Journal.
When you have $173 or 5200 to spend
in two weeks and theaters ami clothes i
and other iihings are not for you , when
you are so constituted that you
wouldn't think of wandering above
Washington avenue well , maybe that
answers the question of what the lum
ber jack wants with a tintype of him
self to pin on his coat. Whether they
want them or not , they arc buying
them.
It seems to be part of this year's
initiation ritual into the ranks of the
lumber jacks to wear a tintype In a
near-gilt frame pinned on your coat. In
this case the spruce young man with
the machine , -\vhich looks like a pocket
edition telescope , and in which the pic
tures are turned out , is the initiator ,
and for his services the unorganized
order of lumber jacks pays-him on an
average of 20 cents a minute. For
fashion ! s fashion , even among lumber
jacks , and with tintypes gilt frame
and all coming at 10 cents each they
line up and get through with it as fast
as possible.
But even admitting that they want
tintypes in gilt frames , what reason
they have for holding their hands In.

are taken has got even the policemen
