THEKK IS U BOUND FOR THE CRY.
We know whether there Is ground
for the cry. We have seen the
home in its desolation. We have
seen the rising sun. divinelv ap
pointed to bring only Its blessing
and its cheer to men, rise high in
the heavens but to look down upon
declining fortune and desolation
growing with the passing day. We
have seen It as, in meridian splen
dor, it has illumined thestunendous
error and the vital shame that -the
hardest, most earnest, consuming
toil that man ever expended upon
the er.rth has yet refused to yield
eveu the bread lor the workman or
the essential comfort for the home;
and we have seen it a3 it has set
over homes, cheerless, desolate,
hopeless, without having added the
blessing of the day or brought the
contentment and comfort of the
ning ; and we have listened with
growing appal, as day by day the
stock report has rung over the coun
try the knell of a people's hoie.
THIS 19 THE COUNTRY OF THE COM
MONER.
