Dr. Kent Favors Compulsory Arbitration as a Solrtioa of the Problrot. Economist. There was a large congregation at the morninj; service of the Pwple'g Church, in Washington, D. C, Sun day and all present were in full sym pathy with the views on the Home stead tragedy. Kev. Dr. Kent made strong plea for labor against capital, and at the conclusion was vigorously applauded A liberal collection ' taken up for the purpoie of having the address printed in pamphlet form and distributed at Iumestead and throughout , the conn try. Appli cation for copy of the address- will Iks honored at "l 12 1 10th ; Street N. W.! Washington, D. C. j ' Dr. Kent, in opening, suid the questions which the terribie tragedy at Homestead have forced anew upon public attention have pressed for an swer many times before, but in vain. The ringing individualism of mod ern society has caused a shrinking from the on I :,.,iT would warran int. The rights of prop- iterprise has seemed: so erty and enterpri precious aud sacred to the people that, in the fear of infringing upon them, men have been suffered to trample ou the rights of justice and of manhood. The speaker went on to say that the time is drawing near when the issues must be faced squaiely and. met in au honest manly way with a a supreme regard for those higher rights of justice and . manhood for 1. ..11 xl ' lV . wnicn an oiner ngnis exist, ihe right to live, asserted by-the Decla ration of Independence, is something more than the right to existence. It is the right to exist under condi tions favorable to the growth and de velopment of human powers and hu man characters. '-The right to lit erty and the pursuit of happiness' is really involved in this right to live," ac cording to Dr. Kent, because essen -tial to it. All rights to person and property exist only as subservient to the higher right to life and to life add to manhood. Bjyoud this man has no valid claim tKuse lib erty or his ""property in such a way as to abridge or interfere with the equal rights and liberties - of others. The questions which come up for answer are, said Dr. Kent,; yery im portant. The first is "the rights of capitalist Or employers of labor," "the right of laborers or men' em ployed." He answered the first with the cardinal principle that ' the em-' plover w bound to so manage his bus in ens as to promote the end of real manhood, both in himself aiid oth ers, society ,i withT all its delects and shortsightedness, gives some di cree of practical recognition to this ! Struggle for the chance to exist, or trnth.-and socfutv onlv 'sa.iirit-.ion f.hwifor gainipr." power, aud becomes a kinds or business as is supposed to be of public service and for the gen eral need. The capitalist must con form to certain standards of business, morality, and it does not allow him to be the judge as to the fact of con formity. The speaker, getting down to his subject said: "The Very language of Mr. Frick, in which he seeks' to vindicate the course of the Carnegie company as just and equitable, fes a concession" on his part that the company is not. at liberty, has ;the right to manage its business simply as it pleases. i the property were en tirely its own. Ownership of prop erty gives no right to manage that property iu sucn a manner injurious to others. It simply imposes addi tional responsibility to manage it for the general good, and the owner ought not to be the sole judge of w hat is for the general good. He is never so considered in any other re lation than that which, as employer, he sustains to his employes. In all other relations society, through its organized' institutions, judges for him. He! is bound to exercise all rights of ownership with reference to the citizen's iiigher rights of health and safety. Soeietv says if vou " can't agree bring your differences to the courts and we will try to find out where justice lies and give to each his dues. Iu practice, owiug to the corrupting power of money and the pitiable weakness of lawyers and courts, the weaker too often becomes- the victim of the stronger, altogether regardless of the merits of the case. The '.rem edy for differences between employ er and employee is a properly consti tuted court of arbitration or equity, eaid court to be provided by the State itself, and to be of the highest character. Of course it will have to be admitted that no decision of this court could oblige men to con tinue in business, or obliged indi vidual workmen to remain at their places, but it could hold the organi zations both of capital and labor to such responsibility and such general regard for justice as is possible un der our existing industrial system, i "So long as the parties to these conflicts are allowed the privilege, of locking out or striking with the view to forcing concessions, bloodshed is inevitable. The State should require the parties at variance to present their ease to the, court without any stopping of business, and the decision of the court should affect the wages from the time the case was presented Now the measure suggested simply proposes, when the parties who de sire to contract cannot agree as to what is right and just, that tbe State, instead of sustaining one party in a lock-out or the other party in a strike, 6hall decide the question of right and justice to tbem. "The employe is a man equally with! his employer. Everywhere the rights of man aud man are being as serted aud acknowledged. Criini- nal are treated well, but the work iugmau is never thought of a one for whorni society should care. He may b starvingr freeing; he maj tramp from one end of the country to the other iir search qf work; but" as long as; be is thought to be industri ously inclined and really auxioas for work: so long as he is belie ved cto-bf honest jand above bnrjiary of theft he may tramp and freeze r starve at will. Society will never interfere. But the moment he ii smpected bf vagraucv, etc.. it is ready then to tase hold of him and do tor him something that will help to letter, nobler nianhood. "The great labor-saving inventions bay all leen turned to the advantage of the employer, and often to the in jury of ths workmen. The capita list' has been; able1 to command, for a4iy use to which he uesrrefl to pat it; much of the ablest legal talent of : the country. Very much of it, even in our national legislation, has Peer; ever ready to prostitute itself at his can, anu me result uas oeen a verv large amount of '4, ! . . class legislation, i he latiormg men of the coimtrvl : have a u i ud is nu table ri?ht to iKiveal'l j hch legislation repealed, and, more- ! ovr "ve a right to such a construe tiori of our iiidustrial systems us will give every mail and woman, regard less of ability, training,1 aptitude, an opportunity to earn an honest aud decent subsistence and to put them selves in respectable aiid wholesome surroundings.

The Dead Congress. The first session of the fifty-first congress has adjourned. Then can be no inducement to spealc ill of it, to tell the truthTs bad enough, j it was elected in November, 1890, by a change cf popular choice: remarka ble in our political annals. The former bouse had a working majority of republicans. This house bad 148. democratic majority. Everybody knows that this' means dissatisfac tion with the republican measures of the fiftieth congress, and if was ex pected that a complete reversal f of that policy would characterize this house from the begining. " There were three things the dem ocrats promised the people of the United States that they would do if the people would decide in their favor. V- ; 1. They denounced the McKinley tariff and promised to repeal it. Ibis they have not attempted to do. Ihey did not introduce a bill to do so. They tiuKered a little about wool," that not one man in a hundred in the South cares about, and a some thing about cotten ties, that not one man in a thousond in the North knows what they are. And that is all the work the democrats bring to the people as a return for .1890. What do they take us for? 2. Tbry howled about the billion dollar congress and promised loudly for economy and retrenchment. But they have done neither. JL'he appro priations of this session have exceeded those of two years ago by $40,000,000 No explanations will be accepted They have both deceived and robled the people in this matter They said they would not continue such extravagance, but they have, and ex ceeded it. 3. They denounced the Sherman act of 1890, and promised the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Twenty-nine democratic state con ventions did so in 1890. All their expressions were clear and without evasion. But they have not done it. The devil fish of Wall street took hold of them and crashed out! all truth and honor. This house of representatives, with 148 democratic majority, would not pass Mr. Bland's bill and when a republican senate sent them Mr. Stewart's bill they killed that also. The trouble with the democratic party of thisx congress was that thej had two heads goipg in opposite di rections. One was for Grover Cleve land and the other for the people. To help Mr. Cleveland, every pronj ise of tne democracy has been .bro ken. ' . V. The republicans made their rec ord in 1890 and lost the confidence Of tbe people.

In the House there were 131 Republicans, 150 Democrats, and 12 Greeubacker The Democrats therefore, had a clear majority of J y in the . House. They also had the help of every out of the Greenbackers on ever irieasure in trtxluced for the good tf the ieople ' 'einocrats were elected, to tins House ! on a pledge to reduce the tariff, allot had done this the would have rested on responsibility him and the Republican party. It was ithe duty of the" Democratic Congress to place itself on record , in the interest of the people. But instead of this it placed itself on record in the inter est of the money power, the enemy of .the pietple. It has had control of the House ever since 1872, with t wo exceptions. It has always since 1'8J0 had enough in both the Senate and the House to bloca tlie passage of the worst laws. Yet it has uot wly never stood , solidly for the people, has voted as largely in proportion to its strength for the worst laws such as the funding act of April 13, 188G, the rechartering of the nation al banks in the year 1882, the land steals, river and harbor-steals, etc. as the ljepublicans. These are the facts according to the Congressional records. : ' i'ree Olaage. Free coinage of silver means the free coinage of all silver bullion, the same as the couutry had before 1873. By that law any one having gold or silver bullion could take it to any mint in the. United States and re ceive its value in coin for it the same as he can do with gold now. But the act of 1873 deprived the people holding silver bullion of that right. Under that law silrer rap idly fell in value from 134 per ounce to 98 cents, and with the, fall of price in silver fell the price of labor and of every product of labor, more especially of cotton and wheat. The advocates of free coinage claim that if silver is rcmonetized it wiil rise rapidly to its old price and with it all labor. This country had free coinage of silver f romjthe founda tion of the! government in 1791 down to 1873. Since it was demonetized wages haves fallen nearly ne half, and it has contributed its fjull share to the miseries of the cou try. We have now ho Jaw for coinage of sil ver, but the secretary of the treasury is required to purchase1 4,500,000 ounces per mouth of the bullion: this has raised the price but not to any great extent. The objection of those who do not understand the question of free coin age is that they want honest money, and this idea is kept up by the representatives of Wall street. ' Money has but one function and that is its debt-pay iug power, and the dollar we have to-day will pay debt. Ask a man what is honest "money" and he will tell you gold, yet not five in a thousand have had a five-dollar gold piece in ten years. Gold is not money of the people in any country. Germany and France have more silver coin than we have,1 while England coins moie silver than the United States. Sil ver is the money; of the poor man and gold is the money of the pluto crat, lie is willing that silver should circulate among the poor, but he does not want them to have much of it. But; when a mortgage is to be paid off it must be gold both of the old political party bosses agree on these points. 7 Toiler. Whe Can Beat This! Mr. J. ;, Braawell, from the .Cas talia section of this county, brought down some new crop tobacco and sold upon our market on Tuesday. He planted three acres this year and says his tobacco will : weigh from 1800 to 2000 pounds to the acre. He planted early and sajs his tobacco was grown in June. At this rate xf weight bis crop will turn him oat about $1,000, or more, for 3 acres. This is the way to farm and make money. Nex t. Ilock j Men n t A r-Qouaut. Praakr Cajrrfssir Tbo Hon.
