A NOVELTY in printing has been intro
duced into Germany, by which it is
said that two colors can be done at one
impression. In addition to the usual
appliance for printing in black that
part of-the form which is intended to
be printed in another color is set up
from type, rules ornaments or cuts
made of porous material, such as pum
ice, Spanish reed, or, best of all, wal
nut root. The type or cut thus made
is inclosed in a holder, in which is a
thin, oily ink, which it absorbs by capil
lary attraction, thus always presenting
an inked surface ready for the impres
sion. The upper rim of' the holder has
a rim of metal border slightly reused
above the wood type, so that-thovpiek
roller passed over the latter without any
union of inks. One revolution of tbe
cylinder thus effects an impression in
two colors.

A BUSINESS man of the city, says the
Columbu3'(0.) Slate Journal, giving
employment to both men and women,
upon being asked why he did not em
ploy more women than he did, said: "I
have employed women very often, and
I wish I could feel more encouraged.
But the truth is that when a young man
come£ to me and begins hi3 work, he
feels that it is his life's business. A
wife, home and happiness are to be
earned, and he settles steadily and earn
estly, to his labor, determined to master
it, and with every incident spurring him
on. He cannot marry until he knows
his trade. It is exactly the other way
with the girl. She may be as poor as
tbe boy and wholly dependent upon
herself for a living, but she feels that
she will probably be married by and
by, and then she must give up the work.
So she goes on listlessly. She has no
ambition to excel she does not feel that
her happiness depends on it. She will
marry aud then her husband's wages
will support her. She may not say so,
but she thinks so, and it spoils her
work"

Not long ago a mother looked over
the shoulder of her little girl who was

the mother exclaimed:

a few towns about the coa^t, and all the

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
THE
PEOPLE
CAN AVERT CALAM­
ITY-WILL. THEY?
Hugh O. Pentecost Delivers a Sermon in
Which lie makes a Prediction.
All the signs of the times indicate
that before the sun rises on the 1st
day of January, 1901, this nation
will writhe and groan and scream in
an agony of revolution and that be
fore five years have passed the streets
of our great cities will be slippery
with blood—a hundred drops or
blood for each gem that flashes on
the necks of the pampered woman of
the rich ten drops of blood for each
tear that has washed the face of
poverty.'
What are these signs of the time?
In the north every election of im
portance is carried at the mouth of
a pocket book. In the south every
election of importance is carried at
the muzzle of a gun. In the north the
rich minority rule by boodle. In the
south the rich minority rule by buefc
shot. In the north the poor are bribed
to go to the polls and vote for the rich.
In the south the poor are frightened
away from the polls to make room
for the rich. The Republicans of
the north accuse the Democrats of
REPUBLICAN
MASS
?:MEETIIMG

StRfcT"
the south of intimidating the poor.
The Democrats of the south accuse
the Republicans of the north of cor
ruption the poor. Both accusations
are true. Politics in this country is
so rotten that it stinks, and the
worst of it is, not that it is so, but
that everybody knows that it is so,
but almost nobody cares. Tbe pitiful
cry of the Democrats after the re
cent election in Maine was that they
did not have money enough to win.
Everybody knows that in every elec
tion the party that can buy the most
votes will succeed, and that which
ever party wins the money lenders
and corporations will rule the people
for their own benefit.
The question is sometimes raised,
whether our republican form of gov
ernment will fail. It has failed.
This is not a republic. It is a plut
archy. We are ruled not from
Washington but from Wall Street:
not from Albany but from the Grand
Central railway station. Our Presi
dent is the creature of bank directors
and protected manufacturers. He
was elected by their money he is the
agent of their will. Our governors
are the creatures of the railroads and
cold mines. Our governmental offi
cials, from the president to the
Pinkerton detectives are appointed
by the rich to look after the interests
of the rich, although they are paid by
taxes wrung from the poor.
And the hopelessness of the sit
uation is that the poor, with but few
exceptions, approve of it. They
whine about their poverty, they gnaw
their crusts of bread, and suck the
marrow out of their soup bones, but
they may always be counted on to
vote for the rich, and if a revolution
were to break out to-morrow, with
the object of getting justice done
for the poor, nine-tenths of all the
poor would shoulder muskets and lay
down their lives, in defense of the
right of the rich to rob them.
Such a nation as ours: a nation in
which 1,000,000 plutocrats tyrannize
over 60,000,000 sodden slaves: if it is
not overthrown by a foreign foe, or
drowned in its own blood, will die of
the gangrene.
I am no Jonah. I do not come to
you as a messenger from Jehovah. I
only utter tbe words of frlam com
mon sense, and each one of you know
that what I say is true.
Another sign of the times is this:—
Laboring people can no longer hope
to get justice done them through
labor unions. To the clear thinker
there never was anjt expectation that
wage earners' could get their own by
merely combining, with the object
of forcing monopolistc employers to
pay them higher wages. This is the
reason why the politicians who fish
for the labor vote, and the editors
who bid for labor patronage contend
rlW -..iiam..:
I .r .w a it 4 a
fbr the right of laboring men to or
ganize. They know that the union
is perfectly harmless against the
power of legal monopoly.
Monopolists are few, wise, cun
ning, and secretly and powerfully or
ganized, and they never quarrel
with each other against their oWn
interests. Vacant land owners,
money lenders and managers of cor
porate monopolies constitute a more
or less closely cemented conspiracy
against honest wealth producers.
They work into each other's hands,
they vote together, they chip in
money together to buy votes and law
makers and judges. The adminis
tration may be publican or Demo
cratic, but in either case it adminis
ters in the interest of banded monop
olists. Congress or the legislature
may be Republican or Democratic,
but 1n either case it makes laws in
the Interest of the land owners, the
bondholders, the stockholders, the
noteholders, the charter owners, and
mortgagees. Sixteen thousand bills'
have been introduced during the
present session of congress, and every
one of them against the interest of
the. landless, the moneyless the ma
chineryless man.
On the other hand th» labor union
ists are foolish' unsophisticated, not
•secretly and very loosely organized,,
and always quarreling among them-
selves against their own interests.
There are three large labor organ
izations in this country: the Knights
of Labor, the American Federation
of Labor and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, each with' a'
man at its head. These organiz
ations, instead of working together
for the benefit of the members
of all, fight against each other
more bitterly than they war against
the monopolists. The leaders of these
organizations are more intensely op
posed to each other than they are to
the oppressors of labor. They never
think together, vote together nor
work together and they have not
money enough to buy voters, law
makers, and judges. The monop
olists are united and strong. The
labor unions are divided and weak.
It is no wonder the politicians and
editors wish to keep the attention
of working people directed toward
labor unionism, for so long as it is
so directed monopolies have nothing
to fear.
But now laborers are beginning to
understand that the strike and boy
cott is a failure. No great strike
ever succeeds now. No great strike
can ever succeed again. What has
happened in the New York Central
railroad will always happen. Labor
ers are beginning to understand this.
Strike assessments can no longer be
collected. The men are losing faith
in strikes. When they have entirely
lost faith in them mobs will at
tempt to accomplish what unions
have failed to do. Then the monopo
lists,' soldiers and police will shoot
down the laboring people, and they
will be cheered on in their bloody
work by the monopolists' editors and
clergymen.
This dark and perilous time is
just before us. We are on the brink
of a financial panic. It may break
upon us any day. Only a few days
ago money was loaned on Wall Street
at the rate of nearly 200 per cent in
terest per year. Soon after the panic
comes laborers who will begin to
feel the pangs of hunger and the bite
of cold. A hungry stomach and
shivering limbs know no respect for
property, no reverence for law. And
when hungry men begin to seize food
and clothing wherever they can find
them, the monopolists will have
them snot, and if there is any physi
cal courage lpft in the breasts of the
long suffering people a horrible dancc
of death will ensue, by the light of
burning houses and to the discordant
music of cries and groans and mus
ketry and dynamite boombs.
What makes this event more sure
is the attitude of the clergymen to
ward the popr. Clergymen, almost to
a man, are against the poor. !Prb- A VEKITAllLK
fessed disciples of, in my opinion, uniinuuu
the grandest man in history—a poor
man a man who was born in poverty,
lived in poverty, and was hanged by
the government at tbe behest of the
Church—they are the subservient
ambassadors of the rich. Whether
they are conscientious or cowardly in
their devotion to the rich I do not
presume to say. Perhaps a little of
each. But I will stake my reputa
tion as an observer of facts1 by affirm
ing that they are the faithful de
fenders and servants of monopolists.
Their churches are built by the rich
their salaries are paid by the rich:
they eat and drink and hobnob with
the rich they preach, for the most
part, to the rich and at the poor
they suppress all that the Bible says
against the rich, and emphasize' all
that it says about contentment in
poverty, omitting to state that the
reason why the New Testament
writers iextorted the poor not to
bother about earthly goods was that
they hourly expected the world to
come to an end for themr and hence
it was foolishness to care whether
they were poor or not? they del*end
rent, interest, profits, and'taxes they
extol patriotism land war, anil glorify
the government—the Plutarchy—that
robs and enslaves the poor. The
clergymen, who forty years ago, were
MOCRATJC
SHERTSS
-SVUES
the bulwark of slavery, are to-day the
bulwark of monopoly. During the
last great strike 1 do not know of one
pastor who uttered, one word of
sympathy for the strikers, but sever*
al are reported as denouncing them..
The clergymen in this country who
advocate justice for the poor can be
counted on your fingers, but there
are 60,000 of them whose voices and
pens are at the service of the rich.
This clerical encouragement of the
rich to hold on to their stolen wealth
is one of the signs of the times it is
a fact that will be followed by streams
of blood. Happy will they be if
their own blood does not run with
that of the poor whom they despise
and the monopolists whom they love.
These are the signs of the times:
Rich idlers amusing themselves at
Newport and Tuxedo poor workers
bUTyfng themseives in cold mines.
Young men and women riding across
the country after a bag that smells
like a fox old men and women pick
ing decayed food cut of garbage cans.
Lap dogs driven through Central
Park to take the air children strip
ping tobacco stems in garrets.
Clergymen traveling to Europe for
pleasure real preachers .of a real
gospel marching with lock-step la
the penitentiary. Society women
picking up millionaires at watering
places street-walkers picking up
whomsoever they can along the
Bowery. Piety in the White House
enjoying the fruits of bribery in
fidelity in the tenement house endur
ing the punishment of uprightness.
These are the signs of the times
signs that point to calamity that
nothing, I fear, can avert.—1'wentieth
