Washingeoti, Aug. 18,—In this dis- course Dr. Talmage suggests how the eyeelasting was between capital and labor may be brouglat to A happy end. The text ie, L Corinthians xii, :31, "Tim eye cannot say unto the band, I have no need of thee."

Or to tome back to the figure of the text, what a strange thing it would be if the eve ebould say: lioversee the entire physical another family, and finally it was not respectable not to go to the centennial at Philadelphia, ttnd they mortgeged their farms.

In time of prosperity prepare for Adversity. Yet bow many there are who drive on the verge or the precipice and at the least touch of accident or sickness over they go. A.b, my friends, it is not right, it is not 'wriest! He that provideth not for his own, and especially those of o his wn. household. is worse then an • infidel.

The goepel of JensCh srist elevates everything. llow do I account for this? account for It with the plainest', philosophy, Tho reli- gion Of Jesue Christ is a democratic religion. It tells the employer that he Is a brother to all the operacives in the eetablishment—niade by the same God, to be in the same dust and to Ire saved by the same suplaune mercy. It dues not lnitke the slightest difference how much. money you have, you cannot buy your way into the kingdom of heaven. If you have the grace of God in your heart you will enter heaven. So you see It is a democratic religion. Seturate our popula- tions with this gospel, and labor will be respectful, labor will be rewardea, labor will be honored, capital will be Christian In all Its behavior, and there will be higher tides of thrift set In. of America for runt and tobacco, and I will establish co-operative assooiations in all porta or tbd, iS lensolne thorn mightier than any Anancial institutions of tbe country. We spend in this country, over $100,000,000 every year for tobacco We spend over $1,500,000.000 directly or indirestir for rum. The laboring classes spend their share of this money, Now, suppose the laboring rnan who has been spending his money in those directions should just add up how much he has expended during these past few years and then, suppose that that rnooey was put into a co-operative aaeoriation and then suppose he Should bave all lila friends in to, who bad made the same kind a expenditure, do the same thing, old that should be added up and put /Imo ee-eperAtiVe association.

When nue rises, they both anti flfe and flag and drive people off from their toll, from their scaffoldings, from their factories, then they are nibli- istio, then they are eommunistio, then they are barbaric, then chey are a curse. But DOW suppose that all the laboring classee banded. together for beneficent purposes in co-operative aseociation under whatever 'name they put their means to- gether. Suppose they take the money that they waste in rum and tobaceo and use it for the elevatdon of their families. torsthe education of their children, for their moral, intellectual and religious improvement, What a different state of things we would have in this country and they would have in Great Britaini Better without Stimulauts. Do you not realize the fact that men work better without stimulant? You say, "Will you deny the laboring ;nen this help which they get from strong drink, borne down as they are with many anxi- eties and exhausting work?" I would deny them nothing that is good for thein. 1 would deny them strong drink, if I had the power, because it is damaging to them. My father said: "I became a tem- perance man in early life because I found that in the barvest field, while I was naturally weaker than the other men. oould hold out longer than any of them. They took stimulant and I took none." Everybody knows they cannot endure great fatigue—men who indulge in stim- ulants. All our young men understand that. When they are preparing for the regatta or the ball club or the athletic wresthng, they abstain from strong • drink. Now, suppose all this money that is wasted were gathered together and put into co-operative institutions—oh, we would have a very different state of things from what we have nowl I remark again: The laboring classes of this country are to find great relief when they learn, all of them learn, forecast and Providence. Vest numbers of them put down their income, and they put down their expenses, and if the incoroe meets the expenses that is all that is necessary. I know laboring men who are ID a perfect fidget until they have spent their last dollar. They fly around every- where until they get it spent. A case Caine under my observation where a young man was receiving $700 a year and earned it by very hard work. The marriage day carne. The bride had re- ceived $500 as an inheritance from her graudfather. She put the $500.in wedding equipment. Then the swain hired two rooms on the third story. Then this man, W.ho had most arduous employment, just as much as he could possibly endure, got evening employment so he oould earn a feW dollars more, and by this extra even- ing employment almost extinguished his eyesight. Why did he take this extra evening employment? Was it to lay by something for a rainy day? No. Was it to get a life insurance so that if he W sbould die bis wife would not be a pau- per? No. It as for the one purpose of getting his wile a $150 sealskin sack. I am just giving you a fact 1 know. The sister of this woman, although she Was a very poor girl, was not to be eolipsed, and so she went to work day and night and toiled and toiled and toiled almost into the grave until she got a $150 seal- skin sack Well, the news went abroad all through the street. Most of the people on that street snare laboring, hardwork- ing people, and they were not to be out- shone in this way, and they all went to worlr in the same direction and practical- ly said. though not literally, 'Though the heavens fall, we must have a fatal - skin sttokl" inortaaging the TS arMS. A clergyman in Iowa told me that his ohurch and the entire neighborhood had been ruined by the fact that tbe people mortgaged their farms in order to go down to the Philadelphia centennial ina 1876.

I come in, and I, wave the Dug of truce between these two contestants, end I say, "The eye cauutit s,e.y to the nand. 'I beve no need of thee.' " That Inings me to the first suggestion, and tnat, is, that laber and eapital are to be brought to a better understanding by a complete ittinetse of the whole subject, They will be brought to peace when rise. 'there will be an equilibrium after awhile. There never bas been an excep- thin to the rule. That whiell is good for Orte class of society and that which is bad for one class of society will eventu- ally and in thne be bad for all. Every speech that labor makes against capital postpones the day of permanent adjust- ment. Emery speech that mph:al makes against labor postpones the day of per - =anent adjustment. When capital maligns labor, it is the eye cursing the band. Wben labor maligns capital, it is the band cursing the eye. As far as I have observed, the vast majority of capi- talists are successful laborers. If tbe capitalists would draw their glove, you would see the broken finger nail, the scar of an old blister, the stiffened finger joint. The great publishers of the coun- try for tbe most part were bookbinders or typesetters on small pay. The great carriage manufacturers for the roost part sandpapered wagon bodies inwheel- wright shops. wet a Great Gulf. While, on the other hand, in all our large inanulaturine: establishments you will find mon on wages who once em- ployed 100 or 500 hands. Tbe distance between capital and labor 19 not a great gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridge. 11; is only a step, and the capitalists are crossing over to be- come laborers. and the laborers are cross- ing over to become capitalists. Would God they might shake hands while they cross. On tbe other hand, laborers are the highest style of capitallete. Where are their investments? In banks? No. In the railroads? No. Their nerve. their muscle, their bone. their mechanical skill, their physical health, are magnifi- cent capital. He who bas two oyes, two ears, two feet, two hands, ten fingers, has machinery that puts into nothingness carpet and SereW and cotton factory and • all the other implements on the planet. Tbe capitalists were laborers, the laborers 14 were capitalists. The sooner we under- stand that the better. Again, there is to come 'relief to the laboring classes of this country through co-operative associations. I am not at this inoment speaking of trades unions, but of that plan by which laborers put their surplus together and become their own capitalists. Instead of being depend- ent upon the beck of this capitalist or that capitalist they manage their own affairs. In England and Wales there are 818 co-operative associations. They have 840,000 members. They Lave a capital of $18,000,000, or what corresponds to our dollars, and they, do a business annually of $68,000,000. Thomas Brassey, one of the toremost men in tbe British Parlia- Inent, on the subject says: "Co-operation Is the one and the only relief for the labor- ing populations, This is the path," be says, "by which they are to come up from the band to the mouth style of liv- ing to reap the rewards and the honors of our advanced civilization." Lord Derby and John Stuart Mill, who . gave half their lives to:the study of the labor ques- tion, believed io co-operative institutions. The co-operative institution formed in Troy, N.Y., stood long enough to illus- trate the fact that great good might come of such an inetitution if it were rightly carried on and raightily developed, Tobacco and Liquor. "Bub," says some one, "haven't these institutions sometimes been a failure?" Yes. Every great movement has been a failure at some time. Applioation of the steam power a failure, electro telegraphy a failure railroading a failure, but now the chief successes of the world. • "But," says some one, "why talk of 7urplus being put by laborers into co- operative associations, when tbe vast multitude of toilers of this' country are struggling for their daily bread and have no surplus?" I reply: Put into my bend She money spent by tbe laboring classes THE TRUST MAKER.

Let me say A word to all capitalists; Be your own executors. Make invest- ments for eternity. Do not be like some of those capitalists 1 know who walk around among their employes with a supercilious air or drive up to the factory In a manner which seems to indloate they are the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and moon in their vest pockets, chiefly anxious when they go among lab- oring nien not to be touched by the greasy or smirched hand and have their broadoloth injured. Be a Christian em- ployer. Remember those who are under your charge are bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh, that Jesus Christ died for them and that they are Immortal. Divide up your estates, or portions of them, for the relief of the world before you leave it. Do not go out of the world like that man who died in New York leaving in his will $40,000,000, yet giving bow much for the church of God, bow much for the alleviation of human suffering? He gave some money a little while before he died. That was well, but ID all this will of $40,000,000 hew 'pooh? One million? No. Five hundred thou- sand? No. One bundred dollars? No. Two cents?

It is a disgraee to our civilization. My word is to all laboring men in this country: I congratulate you at your brightening prospects. I congratulate you on the fact tbat you are getting your representatives at Albany, at Harrisburg and at Washington. I have only to men- tion such a 'nen of the past as Henry Wilson the shoernalicer; as Andrew John- son, the tailor; as Abraham Lincoln. the boatman. The living illustrations easily occur to you. This will go on until you will bave representatives at all the head- quarters, and you will have full justice. I also congratulate you because your work is only prefatory and introductory. 'You want the grace of Jesus Christ, the Carpenter of Nazareth. He toiled himself, and be knows how to sympathize with all who toil. Get his grace in your heart, and you can sing on the scaffold- ing amid the storm, in the shoo shoving the plane, in the mine plunging the camber, on shipboard climbing the rat- lines. He will make the drops of sweat on your brow glittering pearls for tbe eternal Coroner. Are you tired? He will rest you. Are you sick? Hewitt give you help. .Are you cold? He wili wrap you in the mantle of his love. Who are they before the throne?' "Ah," you say, "their hands were never .oalloused with toil!" Yes, they were. You say, "Their fest were never blistered with the long jour- ney." Yes, they were, but Christ raised them to that . high eminence. Who are these? "These are they that came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." That foe every Christian workingman and for every Christian workingwornan will be the beginning of eternal holiday. James n.

The election was fought with great spirit, but young Churchill was defeated by the Liberal candidate. During the campaign Lieutenant Churchill often made four speeches a day. They were good speeches, too, for he is an eloquent orator. His talented and energetic mother also made a lively canvass on her son's behalf, She will probably urge him to try it again at some future election. It is quite possible that young Mr. Churchill may turn out to be quite as big a man e,s his father. He is certainly talented. He is already known as an author, haying written a book about the wars in India. He is a fighter, too, for he won distinction In the Sudan earnpaign under Kitchener.

Aecording to the Boston Journal, a new article called opaline bas been placed upon the market by a French plate glass factory, presumably a French invention, though this is not mentioned. It is described as a vitreous mass; absolutely free from metals, acid proof, of a grayish blue opal color and resembling artificial ice. It Is cast and rolled into large plates of from 85 to 100 square feet surface area and from oue-balf to one and a half Indies thick. Large surfaces, it is said, can be lined Witb a single plate without a joint, and it is superior to marble, in that leis acid proof and remains spotless.
