Following la the opening discourse of e leriea on the Labor Question delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt T* linage in Brooklyn Fabsrnade. The text was: The earth was without form, and void; and Viarkness was U]>on the faoe ot the deep. And the spirit of God moved npen the face ot the waters.-fGenesis, L. A Dr, Talmagesald: ' Out in space .there bung a great chunk ot rock and mud aid water and shell. . Thousands of miles in diameter, more thousands of miles lit circumference. A great mass of ugliness, contusion and distortion, uselessness, ghastliness and horror. It seemed like a great commons on which smashed-up worlds were dumped. It was what poetry aqd prose, scientist and Christian agree lit calling chaos. Out of that black, rough, shapeless egg our beautiful world was hatched. God stood over that original anarchy of elements ■ andaaid: Atlantic ocean, yon go right away and lie down there! Pacific ocean, you sleep sberel Caucasian range of mountains, you stand there? Mount Washington, you be sentinel there! Mount Blanc, you put on your coronet of crystal there! Mississippi, you march there and Missouri you marry It there I” And he gathered in his almighty hands the sand and mud and rock, and rolled •pd heaved and molded and dented and compressed them into shape, and then dropped them into four places; and the one was Asia, and Another was Europe, and another Africa, «.nd another America, north and south. The original chaos was like the confusion and anarchy into which the human race has ever and anon a tendency to plunge. God has said: “Let there be light of law, light of justice, light of peace, light of love!” “Nol no!” say anarchic voices; “let there be darkness, let there be cutthroatery, let there ijje eternal imbroglio, let there be chaos.” Such a social condition many are expecting because of the overshadowing contest between labor and capital; there has not been an intelligent man or woman during the last two months who has not ~ 'asked the question: “Shall we have bloody revolution ijk this country ?” I ■ have heard many answer the question in the sfflrmative; I answer it in the negative. : Fhere may be and there have been terj rific outbursts of popular frenzy,but there Will be no anarchy, for the ohurch of Christ, the mightiest And grandest institution of the planet, Jib all, laying hold of the strength of the eternal God, come out, and putting one hand on the shoulder of labor and the other 00 the shoulder of capital say: “I come in the mune ot the God who turned chaos into magnificent order, to settle this dispute by the principles of eternal justice and kindness; and now I command you, take your hands off of each other’s throats.”1 Ttte only impartial institution on this subject is the church, for it is made up of both capitalists and lahorers, and was founded by Christ, who was a carpenter, 'and so has a right to speak for all laborera; and who owns the earth and the solar system and the universe, and so can speak for the capitalists. , * As for myself, as aii individual I have a right to be heard. My father was a farmer and my grandfather, and they had to work for a living, and every dollar I own I •anted by the sweat of my own brow, and I owe no man anything, and if any obligation has. escaped my memory, come and present your bill when I descend from this pnlpit and I will pay on the spot. I am going to say all I think and feel on this subjeot, and without-any reservation, asking your prayers that I may he divinely directed in this important series of Sabbath morning discourses. 1 That labor h'as grievances I will show you plainly before I get through this coarse of sermons. That capital has had outrages committed upon it I will make evident beyond dispute. But there are right and wrong ways of attempting a reformation. : When I .say them will be no return to social ohaos I do mli underrate the awful peril of these timer. We must admit that the tendency is tpWnrd revolution. Great throngs gather at seme points of disturbance in almost all our cities. Bail trains hurled over the rocks. Workm en beaten to death within sight of their wives and children. Factories assailed by mobs. The faithful police of our cities exhausted by vigilance night and day. In some eases the military culled out. The whole country asking tie question: “What next?” An earthqu ike has with one hand ^_tuken hold of this ccntjuasrtr at the Pacifle ~oeach,.iatd-witb AM’other hand, has taken hold of the continent at the Atlantic beach, and shaken i t till every manufacturing, commercial, agricultural, literary and religions interest has trembled. A part of Belgium ons great riot. Russia and Germany and Austria keeping their workmen quiet only by standing armies so vast that they are eating out the life of those nations. The only reason that Ireland is in peace is because she is hoping for home rule and Urn triumph of Gladstoneism. The labor ’ quarrel is hemispheric, aye, a wot Id-wide quarrel, and the whole tendencr is toward anarchy.

Last year iinthe city of New York there were forty-five general strikes and 177 shop strike*. Snoceasfnl strikes, ninety-seven; strikes lost, thirty-four; strikes ponding at the time the statistics were made, fifty - nine; shrikes compromised, thirty-two. -Would you like me to tell you who will make the most out of the present almost universal strike! loan and will. Those will make the most out of it who go first to work. 4 My third word of brotherly adviee is to another class of laborers—namely, those who have been a long time out of work. How many of them? Before this present trouble began there weie nearly 9,,00(1,000 people in this country out of work and could not get work. I have worn myself out again and again, as many of you have, to got employment for those who besought it. In some cases we succeeded, in others failed. My brotherly counsel is to the nearly 2,000,000 people who ooilld not get work before this trouhle began, and who have themselves and their families to support, to go now and take the vaoated places. Go in and take these places a million and a half strong. Green hands you may be now, but you will not be green hands long. My sentiment is full liberty for all who want to strike to do so, and full liberty for all who want to take the vacated places. Other industries will open for those who are now taking a vacation, for we have only opened the outside door of this continent, and there is room in this country for 800,000,000 people, and for eaoh one of them a home, and a livelihood and a God. So, however others may fe^l about this excitement, as wide as the continent, I am not scared a bit. The storm will hush, Christ will put his foot upon it as upon agitated Galilee. As at the beginning, ohaos will give place to order as the spirit of God moves upon the waters. Bnt hear it, workingmen of America 1 Your first step toward light and betterment of condition will be an assertion of yoor individual independence from the dictation of your fellowworkmen. You are a free man, and let no organisation come between you and your best interests. Do not let any man or any body of men tell you where yon shall work, or where you shall not work; when you shall work or when you shall not work. If a man wants to belong to labor organisations let him belong. It he does not want to belong to a labor organisation let him have perfect liberty to stay out. You own yourself. Let no man put a manacle on your hand, or toot, or head, or heart.

I belong to a ministerial association that meets once a week. I love all the members very much. We may help each other in a hundred ways, but when that association shall tell me to' quit, my work and go somewhere else, that I must stop right away because a brother minister has been badly treated down in Texas, I will say to that ministerial association: “Get thee behind me, Satan!” . Furthermore, I have a right to resign my pastorate of this church and say to the people: “I decline to work for you any longer. I am going, “Good-by.” But I linger around the doors on Sunday mornings and evenings with a shot gun to intimidate or hinder the minister who comes to take my place. I may quit my place and.continue to be a gentleman, but when 1 interfere With ray successor in this pulpit 1 become a criminal and deserve nothing better than soup in a tin bowl in Sing Sing penitentiary. Here is a statement that I would have every laborer put in his memorandum book or paste in his hat, and every newspaper put at the head of its columns. There are now about 12,000,000 people in this country receiving wages, and about 600,000 belonging to organisations that control their labor. I would have all the 000,090 do as they please, and I would have all the other 11,400,000 do as they please. You will admit that the 600,000 in such organisations ought not to control the 11,400,000 laborers not in them. Your first duty, O laboring man 1 is it to your family. Let no one but Almighty God dictate to you how you shall support them. Work when you please, where you please, at what you please, and allow no one for a hundredth-millionth part of a second to interfere with your right. When we emerge from the present unhappiness, as we soon will, we shall find many tyrannies broken and labor and capital will march shoulder to shoulder. This day I declare the mutual dependence of labor and capital. An old tentmaker put it just right—I mean Paul— when he declared: “The eye can not say to the hand/I have no need of thee.” You have examined some elaborate machinery —a thousand wheels, a thousand bands, a thousand levers, a thousand pulleys, but all controled by one great water-wheel, all the parts adjoined so that if you jarred one part you jarred all the parts. Well, society is a great piece of mechanism, a thousand wheels, a thousand pulleys, a thousand lovers, but all controled by one great ever-revolving force—the wheel of God’s providence. So thoroughly Is society balanced < and adjusted, that if you harm one part you harm all the parts. The professions Interdependent, all the trades interdependent, so that the man who lives in a mansion on the hill, and the man who breaks cobble-stones at the foot of the hill, affect each other’s misfortune or prosperity. Dives can not kick Lazarus without hurting his own foot. They who throw Shadrach into the furnace get their own faces scorched and hlackened. No such thing as indepeadenoe. Smite society at any one point and you smite the entire community. Or, to fall back on the old tent-maker’s figure, what if the eye should say: “I am overseer of this physical anatomy; I am independent of all the other members; if there is any thing I despise, it is those miserable and lowlived fingers!” What if the hand should say: “lam boss workman; I am independent of all the other members; look at the callous in my palm and the knots of my knuckles; if there is any thing I hate it is the human eye, seated under the dome of the forehead, 'doing nothing but look!* ” Now}-we come in this morning to break up that quarrel, and we say: “Oh, silly eve, how soon you. would swim if you had not the hand to support and defend you. Oh, silly hand, you would he a mere tumbler in the darkness it it were not for the human eye.” “The eye ean not say unto the. hand, ‘I have no need of thee.’ ”

.Reiter will come to the working classes of this country through a better under* •tending between capital and labor. Before this contest goes much further it will be found tjfat interests are identical; sgjuat helps one, helps both; what injures one, injures both. Show me any point in the world’s history of 6,000 years where capita*! was prospered and labor oppressed, or where labor was prospered and capital oppressed. What Is the stateof things nbwf Labor at its wit’s end to get bread. Capita! at its wit’s end to pay the taxes and keep the store and factory running. Show me any point in the last fifty years where capital was getting large accumulation, anti I will show you the point at which labor was getting large wages. Show me a point at any time in the last fifty years where lalior was getting large wages, and 1 will show you the- point where capital was getting large profits. Until th<j orack of doom there will he no relief jtor the working classes until there is a better understanding between capita# and labor il this war ends.

The carriage manufacturers of the country used to sandpaper the wa gon - bodies in th% wheelwright’s shop. On the other hend, yon will And in all our |,Teet establishments men on wages who used to employ their one hundred or fire hundred hands. The distance between capital and labor is not a great gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridge; it is only a step, and the laborers here will cross over and become capitalists and the capita,Hath will cross over and become laborers. Would to God they would shake hands while they are crossing, .these from one side and those from the otnS^side. The combatants in this great war between capital and labor are chiefly, on the one side, men ,ot fortune, who have never been obliged to toil and who despise toil, and, on the other hand, men who could get labor, but will not have it, will not stick to It. It is the band oursing the eye, or the eye cursing the hand. I want It understood that the laborers are the highest style of capitalists. Where is their investment? In the bank? No. In railroad stock? No. Their muscles, their nerves, their bones, their mechanical skill, their physical health, are the highest kind of oapital. The man that has two feet, and two ears, and two eyes, and ten fingers, owns a machinery that puts into nothingness Corliss’ engine and all the rail road rolling stook, and all the carpet, and screw, and cotton factories on the planet. I wave the flag of truce this morning between these contestants. I demand a cessation of hostilities between labor snd oapital. What is good for one is good for both. What is bad for one is bad for both. Agatn: Relief will come to the working classes of this country through a co-opera-tive association. I am not now referring to trades’ unions. We may hereafter discuss that question. But I refer to that plan by which laborers become their own capitalists, taking their surpluses and putting them together and carrying on great enterprises. In England and Wales there are 765 co-operative associations, with 800,000 members, with a oapital of $14,000,000, doing business in one year 'tc> the amount of $37,000,000. In Troy, N. Y., there was a co-operative iron foundry association, It worked well long enough to give an idea of what could be accomplished when the experiment is folly developed. Thomas Brassey, one of! tha first of the English Parliament, declared: "Co-operation is the one and only solution of this question; it is the sole path by which the laboring classes as a whole, or any large number of them, will ever emerge from the hand-to-mouth mode of living and get their share in the rewards and, honors of our advanced civilisation.” Thomas Hughes, the ablest and the most brilliant friend of the workingman; Lord Derby, John Stewart Mill, men who gave half their lifetime to the study of this question, all favor co-operative associa

Again: I remark that relief will come to the working classes through more thorough discovery on the part of employers that it is best for them to let their employes know just how matters stand. The most of the capitalists of to-day are making less than six per cent., less than five per cent., less than four per cent, on their investments. Here and there is an anaconda swallowing down every thing, but such are the exceptions. It is often the case that employes blame their employer because they suppose he is getting along grandly, when he is oppressed to the last point of oppression. 1 knew a manufacturer who employed more than a thousand hands. I said to him: “Do you ever have any trouble with your workmen? Do you have any stri kes?” “No,” he said. “What! in this time of angry discussion between capital and labor, no troulile?” “None at all—none.” I said; “How is that?” “Well,” he said/,“I have a way of my own. Every little while I call my employes together, and Isay; ‘Now, boys, I want to show you how matters stand. What you turned out this year brought me so much. Ton see' it isn’t as much as we got last year. I can’t afford to pay you as much as 1 did. Now, you know I put all my means in this business. What do yon think ought to be my percentage, and what wagesISught 1 to pay you. Come, let us settle this.* And,” said the manufacturer, “we are always unanimous. When we suffer we all suffer together. When we advance, we advance together, and my men would die for me.” But when a man goes among his employes with a supercilious air, and drives up to his factory as though he were the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and the moon in his vest pockets, moving amid the wheels of the factory, ohiefly anxious lest a greased or smirched hand should touch his immaculate broadcloth, lie will see at the eud he has made an awful mistake. I think that employers will find out after a while that it is to their interest, as fur as possible, to explain matters to their employes. Tou be frank with them, and they will be frank with you. Again: I remark, relief will come to the tailoring classes through the religious rectification of the country. Labor is appreciated and rewarded just in proportion as a country is Christianised. Why is our smallest coin a penny, while in Chinn it takes six or a doxen pieces to make one penny, the Chinese carrying in his own country the “cash.” as it is called, nround his neck like a string of beads, a doxen of these pieces necessary to make the value of one of our pennies? In this country for nothing do we want to pay less than a penny. In China they often have to pay the sixth of a penny, or the twelfth of a penny. What is the difference! Christianity. Show me a community lihat is thoroughly infidel and I will-show you a community where wages are small. Show me a community that is thoroughly Christianised and I will show you a community where wages are comparatively large. How do I account for it? The philosophy is easy. Our religion is a democratic religion. It makes the owner of the mill understand he is a brother to all the operatives in that mill. Born of the same Heavenly Father, to lie down in the same dust, to be saved by the same supreme mercy. No putting on of airs in the

sepuieuer or in the judgment. I do not -how much money yon hare, you have not enough money to buy your way through the gate. I do not care how poor you are, if you haTe the grace of God in your heart no one can keep you out If the ihining gate-keeper, smitten by some injustice, should try to keep« you out, all Heaven would fly from %elr thrones, and they would crys**i^t him in! Let him in 1” My friepds, you need to saturate our population with the religion of Christ, and wages will he larger, employers will be more considerate, all the tides of thrift will set it. I haTe the highest authority for saying that business is profitable for the life that now is. It pays for the employer. It pays for the employe. The religion of Christ comes out to rectify all the wrongs of the world, and it will yet settle this question between labor and capital just as certainly as you sit there and I stand here. The hard-hand of the wheel and the soft hand of the counting-room will clasp each other yet. They will clasp each other in congratulation. They will clasp each' other on the glorious morning of the millennium. The hard hand will say: “I plowed the desert into a garden;” the soft hand will reply: “I furnished the seed.” The. one hand will say: “I thrashed the mounthe other hand will say: “'I paid for the flail.'” The one hand will say: "I hammered the spear into a pruninghook,” and the other hand will answer: “I signed the treaty of peace that made that possible.” Then eepital end labor will lit down together, end the lion end the lamb, and the Feopard and the kid, and there win be nothing to hort or io destroy in all

A UNDER DIFFICULTIES. the Masale of a Gan. [Lewiston (Me.) Journal. J * A Maine doctor, who weighs two hundred pounds, and was stationed as an inspector in the woods, near the border, recently told me in an interesting way some of the adventures—and adventures they were, indeed—which he had during his offlcial stay in the wilderness, during the late small-pox scare. “I Wa'S sent,” said he, “to Lowell's township, through which the Canadian Paciflo 'railroad will pass. My station was near Gordon’s camp, where about eighty men employed on the railroad were encamped. The nearest railroad station was at Lake Megantic, twenty-eight miles away. 1 built a log cabin and constructed a gate across the road. No man went through that gate without being vaccinated. I had to deal with a rough class of men, and had some scrapes that would read like a dime novel. My two assi -tants, a rifle, a revolver, a Newfoundland dog and a suit of clothes with brass buttons, which I procured after I’d been there awhile, helped me out. You see, nobody lived near, and I had no moral support. I had to rely wholly on my display of physical force. ’ “Soon after we were established we went down to Gordon's camp, and in one day vaccinated every man of the eightyfive employed there, they rebelled against it, but we made no talk with them, going through them like a, flock of sheep. Several days afterward word camo to me that a crew was coming down from the camp to tear down my cabin and send me home. Some of the men’s arms had swollen and become exceedingly sore. I went down to the camp at once, and found a mutiny impending. Many of the men were sick and angry. Several of them were laid up and suffering severely. I explained the nature of their trouble to them, and told them if they would keep calm I would relieve them of their pada. With the help of morphiue I was able to prevent a rumpus. I tell you it was an excited crowd. They were afraid that all of them would be taken down.

“A burly Scotchman swore he would pass my station without being vaccinated one day. He was one of a dozen desperate fellows. I had a pitched battle with him at last, and actually vaccinated him with my foot on his windpipe! Meanwhile my assistant kept off the others with his gun. We stuck the quill into every one of them. “Often the Canadians tried to get by me by stealing around through the woods. One man, in making such an attempt, was lost in the night. We heard his cries and started in search of him. With the help of our Newfoundland, we were able to rescue him, but we did not arrive at our cabin till four o’clock in the morning, and the fellow was nearlv dead with cold and fatigue. He would have perished but the doctors and the dog, A more scared man than he was when we came upon him you never saw. “They adopted a curious way to sneak by the Moose river Inspector one day. Four men concealed themsolves in a load of hay and passed without being noticed. They crawled out too soon. At the Forks they were stopped and sent back to be vaccinated. “I was surprised to see the prejudice these fellows hnd against vaccination. It existed among the Scotch and English as well as among the French.” AN ANCIENT WALL. A Stone Wall Which Causes Considerable Speculation. [Cor. Chicago Times.1 Last Friday a party of gentlemen, whflt at Chadron, Sioux County, Neb., took a carriage and started to find a stone wall reported to have been found two and a half miles north of Chadron. After a brief drive and a rather tedious search they found the stone wall. The geueral lay of the prairie is sloping to the westward, and toward the White river a depression was found in the prairie which, with long washings, had depressed into a gulley some thirty feet deep, running from the northeast to the southwest, and furrowed ‘in places, increasing in downward tendency. This hid from view the “wall” until close to it, but it was found. This wall is built across the gully from the southeast to the northwest. The remains are plainly visible from the top of the banks on either side of the gully. It is decayed and runs most of the way up the sides of the ravine,but at the bottom it is from three to four feet high; It was laid up with regularity, with joints broken, some kind of cement being used. The wail is about twelve to fourteen inches iu thickness, and gives evidence of having been there a very long time. There is a rumor that traces of it extend a distance of seven miles. That it was laid by a people long since extinct is abundantly apparent, but when, by whom and for what purpose is yet an unsolved problem. The strangest feature is that there is no stone or rock in the vicinity, nor within a very long distance of it. Until within the last eight months the section was wholly unoccupied. The extension of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad (the Elkhorn system of the Chicago & Northwestern railway) to Chadron last summer gave the first opportunity to occupy it. This stone wall gives evidence that a race of people now extinct, and including mechanics of skill, once had their habitation, and probably a walled city, there. This, of course, is mere speculation, but that the wall of stone is there, that it has been carefully laid up, and of a material not found within many miles of there, furnishes food for the liveliest speculation. This is to attract attention to it, to the end that scientific investigators may evolve a theory which will account for it. That whole country is filled with petrifactions of all kinds of the most remarkable interest. --- i An Ingenious Yankee Notion. [Hartford Conrant.)
