LABOR’S WAR WITH CAPITAL The Remedies for the Existing Troubles Suggested in Yesterday’s Sermons. Dr. Gilbert’s Discourse at Meridian-Street Church —Rev. 0. C. McCulloch’s Sermon on Social Solidarity-Other Services. THE LABOR PROBLEM. The Remedies for the Existing; Troubles Suggested in a Discourse by Dr. Gilbert. Rev. Dr. Gilbert delivered a discourse on "The Remedy for the Existing Labor Troubles,” at Meridian-street Churchf last evening. Asa preface to the remedy he briefly stated the cause of the trouble, as set forth in his sermon of the Sunday preceding. The Protestant reformation, he said, awakened the spirit of liberty; the opening of the new world, with its inexhaustible resources, and the establishment of this Republic as the asylum of the oppressed, gave impetus to trade. Thus our entire national life has been fashioned by the love of liberty and the love of money. Under such a system intense business competition was inevitable, and the struggle between men of large property and those engaged in manual labor was intensified by the multiplication of machinery and the large immigration from Europe of people with false social ideas. He then proceeded to discuss the question of the remedy. Reviewing the proposed measures of adjustment, he said there are some who look upon this as a temporary difficulty, which will work out is own eure, with whom I cannot agree, believing that antipathies have been awakened and forces set in motion which will produce prolonged agitation until wise methods are adopted for the redress of grievances. Others, a very large and increasing class, believe that the fault lies in the existing social and political order, which ought, therefore, to be broken up. These are either Socialists, calling for a fraternal system of government, or Nihilists, who would sweep away what we have, without proposing any new order, but expecting & readjustment after the destruction of the old system. These teachings originated in Europe, and are disseminated in all parts of our country. Societies for their propagation are found in many of our cities, but Socialism and Nihilism can never solve the labor problem. American people will not suffer the overthrow of the existing order, and working men who favor such measures are only injuring their cause. The recent strikes were attempts at the solution of the question, but must ever be unprofitable. It is conceded that every man has a right to quit work at pleasure, but it is very unwise to attempt, by the suspension of labor on a general scale, to secure higher wages, for the price of labor must ever be regulated by the question of supply and demand. A peaceful suspension only gives the employer an opportunity to engage other workmen, while a forcible interference with business on the part of strikers is a violation of law, which cannot be long tolerated, and must not only alienate capital and laborers, but subject the strikers to losses in the decline of business. In saying these things Ido not wish to apologize for overreaching capitalists who fatten on the earnings of the poor, but as a friend of the laboring man. I believe the strike is a very unwise measure. No good is likely to come through the efforts of the Knights of Labor, as now organized. Their declared purpose deserves commendation, but in the very nature of the case they will not be able to accomplish what- they seek, because they must ever he in a measure under the control of their leaders, and the character of the order must, therefore, be determined by the disposition of the leaders. The force of this point will appear in recent occurrences. Mr. Powderly is evidently a wise man, but Mr. Irons is a hotheaded Socialist. The troubles in the Southwest have been aggravated by the folly of the latter. What would have resulted had he been the head of the order may be easily imagined, and in the future there is reason to fear that socialistic leaders will make this great order a machine of mischief. The incendiary addresses sent out from time to time are indications in this direction. Only last Friday, in the streets of East St. Louis, members of this order were pleading with their brethren to desist from acts of violence. Besides, there are traces of socialistic philosophy in the orders of the last general assembly. That body set forth twenty different items of legislation, which they proposed to secure by non-party action. While some of them are worthy, such as the establishment of labor bureaus, the reservation of lands for actual settlers and the prohibition of child labor, other measures are proposed which are oppressive to capitalists and destructive of the general good—measures which would be opposed by a very large majority of the American people. Indeed, if the Knights of Labor, who doubtless mean well, adhere to the platform which they last put forth, there is nothing before us but a prolonged struggle between capital and labor, resulting, possibly, in the formation of two political parties. In my judgment this problem will vever be solved by law. The solution of this question must involve two points: There must be a recognition of the value of labor and capital. These are the two necessary factors of national prosperity. To give temporary advantage to one at the expense of the other will only cause distrust and prepare for further conflict. Asa minister of Christ I stand between these two great interests, believing that only when "the rich and poor meet together” on terms of the good order of society be secured. Whatever is done to thts end, whether it be in law or in business, method must have the support of public sentiment, without which, in our own country, every law is a dead letter. The question, therefore, comes in this form: "What can so influence public sentiment that capital and labor shall be harmoni ously employed, with profit to both?” The answer is not difficult. I have shown that the dominant influences of our national life are love of liberty and love of money. Pushed to the extreme, the one becomes lawlessness and the other selfishness. No military force, no readjustment of society, can regulate two such monstrous qualities as lawlessness and selfishness. Their end must be anarchy; but, held in check, the love of liberty and love of money will make a free and wealthy people. We must, therefore, introduce a conserving element in our national life—a third power, stronger than either of the others, namely, love of man. This agitation reveals the supreme need of the American people, and it will continue until that need is supplied. We have attempted an impossibility—to bpild a Nation on two principles—which, unrestrained, will work distruction. How shall this new force be infused into the great social system? First, it is to be recognized, is one-half of essential Christianity. In so far, therefore, as our religion advances, the love of man will increase. Second, inasmuch as many of the people are not Christians, the Americans need to cutivats the spirit of neighbor love, holding in check the rank growth of all those qualities that are characteristic of us, and we must carry this spirit into all the relations of life. Trades unions, corporations, business firms, agriculturists, manufacturers, in abort, business men in all relations of life, -need a higher regard for man. If this is not attained, no matter what expedients are adopted to prevent it, thousands will be crushed under the wheels of commerce and cry out in vain for help. Thirdly, with this added force in our national life, there are many practical plans which may be adopted for the good of the laborer and the capitalist alike. Dr. Gilbert then outlined methods of arbitration between employes and employers, showing how in some communities laboring men had banded together for self improvement, how capitalists had befriended men in their employ, and suggested ways by which this might be increased if the spirit of neighborly love could only take possession of the spirit of the labor interests of the country. Sevsral methods of bringing about this result were then reviewed, in which he advocated the foundation of a savings-bank system on a much broader basis than now exists, and, as a good result to be derived therefrom, cited the case of New Edgland, in which there are 437 savings banks, with a total deposit of about $500,000,000. where there is very little of this labor agitation. This is particularly the case in New York and Now Jersey. Mechanics' institutes and

industrial manual labor schools would also be great aids. All this will in time be accomplished as the laboring men seek to elevate themselves through this third power-love of man — and without this philanthropic spirit these troubles cannot be definitely settled. SOCIAL SOLIDARITY. The Sermon of Rev. O. C. McCulloch at Plymouth Church Last Evening. Rev. Oscar C. McCulloch’s topic last evening at Plymouth Church was "Social Solidarity.” The first selection read by him as a preface to his discourse was from the fourth chapter of Genesis, narrating the birth of Cain and Abel, their offerings unto the Lord, the murder of Abel, and Cain's answer "Am 1 my brother’s keeper?” His second selection was from an English publication "Good Words,” and bore the title the "Chemistry of Character.” He took as his text Romans xii: 4 and 5. "For as we have many members in one body and ail members have not the same office: so, we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” He said the object of the evening’s talk was three-fold. The general subject here is Christianity in common life, to show the relation between Christian members arid the life we live to-day. We apply this to the common, daily, every-day life we live, and that it is not merely something to save the soul for after happiness, but the body, life and soul for the life that now is, believing that he who has learned to live today is prepared for to-morrow and all futures. The object is, first, to educate those who may listen here to see the connection between the principles in daily life, the great natural principle which has blossomed out into the Christian faith, and has come to bless the world; second, agitation, to stir, to move you, to make you think; third, to form, or begin to form, public opinion, for the change we wish to initiate must come from the people. The first step, then, is education, next agitation, and then public opinion, crystallizing the opinions thus brought to light. Ralph Waldo Emerson has said that the most dangerous man that can ever come into the world is the man that thinks. The beginning of all revolutions is in the brain of the man who thinks. Wendell Phillips said, where there are twelve men, there are the beginnings of a revolution. Trace the Mississippi to its source, and you will find welling up a little spring, but it flows on and on, and tributary after tributary adds its waters until it swells into a mighty flood. So it is m the individual mind that all great changes begin. One thinks, and then another, and another, until they combine, and the education of others goes on until a whole social structure may be undermined and it may crumble in a moment We' remember how the institution of slavery passed away. Keep out the printer and the newspaper if you want things kept as they are. Said Napoleon: "I am more afraid of a newspaper than I am of a million of men.” They aro the dangerous elements in the community—never content to let well enough alone. 1 used to think that the word "God” meant simply good. I have found that it means the agitator, the great mover. It means he who keeps in ceaseless agitation the elements of things. He stirs up men to think. My subject is "Social Solidarity.” Some few years ago my friends, President Jordan, of the State University, and Prof. Charles Gilbert, with a company of Indiana people, made the ascent of the Matterhorn. In making the ascent they were tied one to another at intervals of a few feet stretched along a rope. There was an accident. A dislodged stone came rattling down and struck Professor Gilbert. Had it not been for the fact that they were thus fastened together there would have been a life lost But the fact that they were so fastened enabled them to sustain the dreadful strain, and they held together and saved a life. Society is thus tied together. We rise or fall together. The stumbling of one might bring all down, or the rise of one bring all up. Solidarity is a French word, brought by Kossuth, when, pleading for Hungary, he visited this country as a sister republic. He answered the question “Why should we help Huneary, a country so far away, the people of a different language, there is nothing in common between us.” He told us that it made a great difference to us because of the solidarity, the oneness of humanity. The cause of all freedom is interested. If Hungary is borne down by the weight of empires, every republic is endangered by the attack. Republies are a menace to kings. As long as a single republic lifts its head among the nations kings are endangered. Therefore, he said, it is your busiuess to help her with your sympathy, with your aid, for if she falls, one republic after another may go down. So he pleaded for his country, on the ground of human solidarity—that his cause was our cause, that no man liveth unto himself or dieth unto himself. Individuality is opposed to solidarity. It says every man liveth unto himself. It says take care of number one; each for himself and the devil take the hindmost. It says let each man rise or fall by the uplift of his own powers. Individuality says America for Americans, Indiana for Indianians, Indianapolis for IndianaDolitans. Solidarity says we are members, one to another, members with different functions, parts related to other parts; we bear each other’s shame, bear each other's loss; we fall together or rise together; what one suffers all suffer. That is solidarity—that the concern of one is the concern of all. A pain in the foot is felt in the head, hunger makes itself known in all the members of the body So is it in the body-politic. If a great suffering comes to a class it comes to all; if a great joy comes to one class it comes to all. From the very earliest time God ha3 been trying to teach the lesson to the world that we are each members of a gieat whole, and you see it in that savage story of primitive times, “Whore is thy brother?” and the answer, "Am I my brother’s keeper?” The answer is the beginning of the devil’s doctrine of individuality and in the other of solidarity, that no man stands alone. We are keepers of one another. We are mutually responsible for each other’s happiness or each other’s misery. Hero we find the beginning of the two forces that are at work in society. The whole history of civilization is simply a struggle between these two forces. All government beginnings, in their faintest forms, are simply an expression of this solidarity—the union of a few to withstand dangers. All anarchy in government is simply an expression of the other, the violent and destructive element, each taking his life and fortune into his own haud. Cain was the first infidel. Ho denied the faith in humanity. The goodness of the fathers reappears in us and the sins of the fathers. We suffer for the sins of our ancestors, and our children shall suffer for ours. As the past and present are thus organically related, so is the present and the future, each to each. Communities are related to communities, states to states, nations to nations. I cannot even now read Sydney Smith's denunciation of Pennsylvania for repudiating her debts without a blush of shame. It brought shame to the United States. The repudiation of her debt by Evansville will make it harder to borrow money for every city in Indiana. All trade is simply the exchange of one commodity for another. This idea grows until we see that this round world is but one great whole. Said Thomas Carlylo, "When an Indian whips his wife in Winnipeg it raises the price of fur in London.” No one stands for himself, but each for all. Alfred Russell Wallace, who, with DarwiD, studied out that great law of natural selection, has just brought out a book on what he calls "Bad /Times,” the depression in England since 1874. I speak of it to show how interconnected we all are. He calls attention to the immense expenditure of money drawn from the people to keep the standing armies equipped and paid in Europe. Three million six hundred thousand men in Europe withdrawn from the soil, from mines, from workshops, withdrawn from being productive powers. It takes every year three thousand million dollars to maintain them—so much drawn from the revenues of the people. Every mau in Europe has to work the harder in order to maintain these men. Everything is dearer because these men are withdrawn and made consumers instead of producers. Men are withdrawn to maintain kings on their thrones. It was Emerson who said God is tired of kiSgs. The teaching of God in history, of Christ in Bit gospel, la that the law oX help is the greatest

law of all. It is for our own interest that we {dead for the oppressed and resene those who are ost, and lift up those who are fallen. Four daughters of a worthless man in New York have given 1,200 men andjwomen, their descendants, to county asylums, *to jails, to penitentiaries, and they have been known to cost the State of New York $10,000,000. Is not every oitizen of the State of New York interested in the welfare of every other State? In this county no fewer than 800 inter-related people of the panper and criminal classes have caused us to bear taxes and shame. We are responsible for it. One man’s cause is another man’s cause. Larger wages mean a larger expenditure. Better times come for all when all help. No man is permitted to be entirely selfish. Even in amassing his immense fortune, Vanderbilt had to employ hundreds of thousands of men. Every great business is a great industry. Every manufacturer, whether he knows it or not, is is working for all. God lets no man stand up alone in this world, seeking only himself. No one has ever yet been able to permanently injure this world. No monopoly has ever been able to do it. The law of help is the law of cohesion in society. One man abstracted from useful industry, debarred of his birthright; one child deprived of his education, and there is a disturbance in society. The success of labor is the success of capital; tlfe success of industry is the success of every man. For the old devil law of individuality let us substitute the law of help. A MISSIONARY TO ASSAM. Mrs. E. W. Clark Tells the First Baptist Congregation Some of Her Experiences. Mrs. E. W. Clark, who some eighteen years ago, with her husband, went out as a missionary from the Firist Baptist Church, of this city, to Assam, is here for a day or two, the guest of Mrs. E. C. Atkins, who extends an invitation to all of Mrs. Clark's friends, and to any one interested in her work, to call upon her this afternoon between the hours of 2 and 6 o’clock, and at any time during the evening, at 666 North Meridian street. Mrs. Clarke yesterday afternoon spoke to the children of the First Baptist Sabbath-school on mission work, relating many incidents that occurred daring her stay m Assam, which greatly interested the children. Last evening she addressed a good audience for an hour or more, showing the discouragements which she and her husband had to contend with, and the encouragement with which they met in their eighteen years’ mission work in Assam. Her husband is in New York, and, with her, will, in a short time, return to their mission field, and continue the grand work in which they are so successful, TRUSTED A HORSE-TRADER. A Louisville Man Gives Worthless Paper for a Car-Load of Indiana Horses. Frequent visits have been made to Indianapolis and neighboring towns during the last two years by Martin J. Morphy, the proprietor of a well-known sale stable on Market street, in Louisville, for the purpose of purchasing horses. During the period of his transactions in this line he has disposed of many hundreds of Indiana horses in the Louisville market, and it was supposed from appearances that he realized immense profits from the business. During last winter he visited Indianapolis as often as once a week, usually coming on Sunday, and after spending a day in the city would return to Louisville, with one or more car-loads of horses, which he would dispose of without delay at public auction. He always made his payments by giving sight drafts, and as these were promptly honored when presented, he established a good credit in this city among the class of people with whom he had business dealings. He had the reputation of being uncommonly shrewd in horse-trading, and among the loungers at the sale stables was regarded as a very extraordinary person. A week ago last Friday the dashing Louisville horse-trader made his last visit to the city. Within a few hours after he arrived he had pur-twenty-five horses from different persons. Os this number eleven were sold to him by George Scofield, seven by Levi Munter, two by Solomon Leopold, two by W. W. Jackson, one by Ira Williamson, one by Cook & Fuhls, and two by other persons, whose names are not known. To each Murphy gave his sight draft for the value of the horses, and the paper was accepted without any doubt of its wojth. In addition to the twenty-five pur chased iu Indianapolis, Murphy bought seven horses from liveryman Jacobs, of Franklin, paying for them in the same manner, the aggregate value of the total number being somewhat more than $3,000. From Indianapolis Murphy went to Greencastle, and there purchased a car-load of horses from Block Brothers, giving them a draft for $2,700. The horses sold to him in this city and at Franklin were shipped to Louisville on the day following the sale, and the drafts were forwarded at the same time to the Falls City Bank for collection. When they were presented to Murphy, on last Monday, for payment he acknowledged their genuiness, but stated that he desired to avail himself of the three days of grace allowed by the obligations. The three days passed without the drafts being paid, and, on last Thursday, notice to this effect was received by the Indianapolis creditors. Suspecting that there was something wrong, Solomon Leopold went *to Louisville on Friday, to secure the amount due him. He returned Saturday night without his money, but with a great deal of ex asperating information about Murphy. According to Leopold’s statement, on the day the drafts were presented to Murphy for payment he disposed of seventeen of the Indianapolis horses at public sale, and the remaining fifteen he shipped to Chicago, where he sold them on last Tuesday. His whereabouts are unknown, but Leopold thinks from information that has been obtained regarding his movements that he will be in the custody of officers soon. Besides his Indianapolis and Franklin creditors, Murphy oWfed. it is said, the Falls City Bank, of Louisville, $5,300, aud the Louisville Street-car Company $1,200, but the claim of the latter was satisfied by the company purchasing several of the Indianapolis horses at Murphy’s public sale. The Block Brothers, of Greencastle took the precaution to inquire if Murphy bad sufficient money on deposit in bank to pay the amount of their claim before shipping their horses to him, and. in consequence, they lost nothing. Murphy’s mother, who owns fifteen hundred acres of good farm land in Clarke county, is worth between $60,000 and $70,000, and it is believed by some of his creditors that she will come to his rescue. Leopold thinks that Murphy intended to pay the drafts and return to get a larger number of horses, as he was offered three car-loads that he had promised to take this week, but was forced by the pressure of his Louisville creditors to put his scheme into operation prematurely. A Telegraph Operator’s Fatal Fall. A telegram was received from St Louis, last night, stating that Daniel Diffiey, a telegraph operator from this city, who recently obtained employment there, had accidentally fallen from a fourth-story window, resulting in bis instant death. He was playfully scuffling with his room-mate, and fell through the window while stepping backward. He was well known in this city, having worked in the Western Union office here for several years, beginning as a messenger boy. He left here for St. Louis only two weeks ago. This Week’s Amusements.

The singing quality combines sweetness and power. It pleases not only my own family but all my friends who have heard it. Yours truly, E. L. HASSELD, No. 35 Coburn street.
