A good minister of the gospel in
Brooklyn , New York took pity on
the unemployed and managed to
secure employment for several
witt in a short time. His success
in this line caused him to be be-
seigcd with those who desired
work until the good man knew not
what to do , but finally decided to
hold an auction , those desiring
work agreeing before hand to
faithfully work for those who
bought them. Masks were used
on the men and they were sold
similar to the way our black slaves
were sold in the south. The ex
periment proved successful and
many found work in this way. In
all probability the auction block
will be used again and again if the
iireat republican prosperity stays
with the laboring men for any
great length of time.
Who is there who will blame
this good man of the gospel ? The
men put on the block and sold to
the highest bidder were the f-ith-
ers of families , and the families
were starving. Who can blarne
the fathers for offering themselves
at auction ?
If neither the good man nor the
laborer can be blamed , there must
be some cause for such an awful
condition. Is it because of the re
publican administration that al
lows the wealth of the nation to be
accumulated by those who do not
labor ; a system that robs the labor
er and allows the rich to become
richer ?
We want our readers to answer
these questions in their own way.
