Tlie second pres.Ti'itioii for the alleyi.-i-
tiou of liiian.'ial disiress is jiroper Cliris-
tlan iiivestinenl. God demands of every
individual state and imtion a certain ]iro-
portiou of their ineoine. We are parsimo
nious. We kee[i ).aek from God that which
belongs to him, and when we keep back
nnytliing from God he takes w iint we keep
hack, ami lie takes more. He takes it by
storm, by sii-kness, by liuukniptey, by any
limine...s is more generosity. Where you
bestowed .■¥! on tlie cause of Christ give $2,
fiod loves to be trusted, and he is very apt
to trust back again. He says: “That man
knows how to handle money. He shall have
more money to handle.” And very .soon
the property that was on the market for a
great while,gets a in'roluaser, rtndtheboml

one of th(' 10,000 ways whieh he can eni-
jiloy. Th(’ rea.son many of vou are* cramped
in bnsiu(“.'S i.s beeainii? you liave never
learned the Itx'.'ou of Christian generosity.
You employ an agent. Y'(>u give him a
reasonable salary, ami, lo, you find out
that ho is appr.ipriating your funds, be
sides the salary. Wliat do you do? Dis
charge him. Well, w'i are God's agents.
He puts in our hands certain, mon
eys. Part is to bis ours, part is to be
His. Sujtpose we take all, what then?
Ho will diseliargo u.'. He will turn us over
to financial disasters and take the trust
away from us. Tlie reason tliat great multi
tudes are not jirospered in hnsiuess is sim
ply beeauso they have been withholding
from God that which belongs to Him.
The rule is, give and you will receive, ad
minister liberally and you shall liave mure
to administer. I am iu full sympathy with
tlie mau who was to l>e baptized by immer
sion, and some one said, “You had better
leave your pocketbook out; it will get wet.”
‘•No," sai'l he, “I want to go down under
the wave with everything. I want to eou-
seerute my property and all to God.” Ami
so he was baiuized. What we want in this
country is mor(* baptized pocketbooks.
The only safe investment that a man
can make iu this world is iu the cause of
Christ. If a man give from a superabun
dance, God may i>r lie may not respond
■with a bli'ssing. but if a mau give until ho
feels it, if a man give until it fetches the
Idood. if a man give until his selfishness
cringes aud twists and 0(jwer3 under it, he
came, !> larger bill. Yoi! fell nn? that i’h.i-i.s-
♦ian generosity pays iu the world to come.
I tell you it pays now, pay.s in Jiard Civsh,
pays in Government 3ecurit[(;s. I'ou do
not b.'rlieve it? Ah, that is what keeps you
back. I know yim did not lielieve it. The
whole world iindwlhristendom is to be re
constructed on this subject, and a.-s you are
a part of Christendom let the work begin
in your own soul, ‘‘But.” say.s some oue,
“T d([n’T bsllevd that Iheorj, beeauso J.
have been generous and I have been losing
money for ten years.” Then God prepahi
>on, that is all.
iVopUnRote a.s a joke what is a divine
premise. “Cast thy bread upon the waters,
and it will return to thee after many days.”
^^'hat did God mean by that? Tliere is an
allusion there. In Egypt when they sow
the corn it is at a time when the Nile is
(ivurtiowing its bsuk.s. ‘‘ml tbeic sow the
seed colh'on tlie waters, and as tlie Nile be
gins to recede this seed corn strikes iu the
earth aud comes ufi a harvest, and that is
t he allusion. It seems as if they are tlirow-
iii.g tlie corn away on the waters, but after
awliib* they gather it up in a liiirvest. Now
say:j God in His word, ‘‘Cast thy bread
II pun the waters, and it sliall come
lati-k to thee after many days.” It may
seem to you that you are throwing it away
ou eharitle.il, hut It wiil yield a harvest of
green and gold—a harvest on earth and a
Imrvest in lieaven. If men could appre-
eiate that aud act on that, ive w'ould have
nu more trouble about iudividual or na
tional linanees.
I’l'cs.-riptlon the third, for the cure of all
0111 individual and national financial di.s*
tresses, p great .“piritual awakening. It is
no mere theory. TIk? nlerohauts of this
country were posilivel.y demented ivlth tlia
nionetat-y excitement in 18.’57. There never
bi.'fure nor since has been such a state of
liuam.'ial deiiressiou as there was at ttiat
tiuK'. A revival eame, aud .500,000 people
were born into the kingdom of God, What
c;uue after the revival? The grandest
linaucial jirosperity wo have ever Iiad in
tin's country. The fin(i.st fortunes, the
largest fortunes in the United States, have
been made since 18.57. “Well,” you say,
‘'what has spiritual improvement and re
vival to do witli monetary improvement
and revival?” YIneh to do. The religion
(‘f Jesus Ghrist has a direct t.'udency to
make men honest and sober and truth tell
ing, and .at' not honesty am.l sobriety and
truth telling auxiliaries of material pr(0s-
perity
If we could have an aVvakenlng In this
country as in the days of Jonathaii Ed
wards of Northampton, as iu the days of
Dr. Finley nf Basking Ridge, a.s in ths
days of Dr. Griltlu uf Posten. tlie 'whola
land would rouse to a higher m(jrill tone,
and with that moral tone the hone.st busi-
ii>*s.s cnterpri.-iL o' *he country would eome
itli. You say a great dwilkcning has an
infuemni u[)'on the future world. 1 tcli You
it has a direct infiueneeupon the financial
w;'.lfar(‘ of this world. The religion of
(.'nnsl is lid f"e lo successful business.
It is its best triend. And If them sliould
c'(nic a. great awakening in this coun
try, and all the hanks rind insuranoe
companies ami stores ami offices and
sh(i|i.-(should close up for two xveeks and
do nothing but atteud to the puldio wor-
shi|) of Almighty God, after such a spiritual
\;-,i'.'ti(>n the. land would -wake up to such
linanciai prosperity as we liava never
dreamed of. Godliness is [dolifrible for tluT
life that ROW is as well as for that which is
to come. But, my friends, do not put too
ni'icli ernjdiasis on worldly success as t(o
|cr your eternal alTairs go at ibcce ends.
1 have nothing to say again.?t money, 'i'ho
more money you get the better, if it comes
InmcHtly iliul goes usefully. For tl]3
la(*k Ut it .Sickness dies without medi
cine. aud hunger finds its cofflu la
an einiity bread tray, and nakedness shivers
for clotlu'S and fire. All this canting tiradd*
against money, as thongli it liad no practi
cal use, when 1 licar a man indulge in it,
makce me tliink tlie best heaven for him
'vould lia ait everlasting poorhouse. No;
thcr(-is a practical use in money, but while
wc admit that we must also admit that it
■aiiiiot .sati.sfy the soul, that it cannot pay
for our ferriage across the Jordan of death,
that it cannot unlock the gate of heaveu
tor our Immortal soul.
Yet ther(i are men who act as though
pack.s of bonds and mortgages could be
Iraded off for a mausiou In heaven, and as
tiiongh gold were a legal tender in that
land where it is so common that they make
pavements out of it. Salvation by Christ
is I im only salvation. Treasures in heaven
ar(' the only ineorriiiitible treasures. Have
vi.iu ever ciphered out that sum in loss aud
gain. “What shall it profit a man if lie
g:iin the whole world and lose his soul?”
Y 'U may wear iin(.' aiiparel now, but the
Wind.s of death will flutter it lik(.’i rags.
All tlie mines of Australia and Bra";il,
stni ng in one carcanet, are not 'worth to
you as inueh as the pearl ot great price.
You reriiemb(*r, I suiipose, some years ago,
the shipwreck of the Central America? A
storm came on that vessel. The surges
tramped the deck and swept do-wii through
(ho liatclK's, and there went up a
hundred voiced 4eath shriek. The foam
ou the jaw of the wave. The pitching of
the steamer, as though it would leap a
inouiitaiu. The glare'of the signal rockets.
The long cough of the steam pijtes. The
hiss of extinguished furnaces. The walk
ing of God on the wave. Oh, it w'as a
stiii)cndous spectacle. But that ship did
not go down without a struggle. The pas
sengers stood in long lines trying to hail it
out. aud men unused to toil tugged until
their hands were blistered and their muscles
were strained. After awhile a sail came iu
sight. A few passengers got off, but the
iii'^st went down. The ship gave one lurch
and was lost.
So there are men who go on in life—a
fine voyage they are making out of it. All
is well till some euroclydon ot business
disaster comes upon them, and they go
down. The bottom of this commercial sea
is strewn with the shattered hulks. But
because your property goes shall your soul
go? Oh, no. There is coming a more
stupendous shipwreck after awhile. This
world—God launched it 6000 years ago, and
it is s.iiiing ou. Imt one day it wiil stagger
at the cry of “Fire!” and the timbers of

England would step in and protect her

reads as follow.': “The signs of the

which one million plutocrats tyrannize
over sixty million sTriVes, v,-ill be either
overthrown by a I'ereign foe or die of
gangrene. The various labor organiza

H must be confessed that there is
a certain amount of tenth in the above.
Conditions are shaping themselves in
that direction, if it cannot be averted
Ibis republic may tie destroyed. .A

■Will It He 15ry«n In 1900?
The defeat of Mr. Bryan last year wa.s
n ita effects a victory. In the first place
it was a victory over Cleveiandism in
the Democratic party. It had the ef
fect of permanently separating the gold
w ing from the silver wing of the Dem
ocracy. It pointed out the place for
men like Palmer and Buckner—in the
Republican camp.
In the second place, Bryan’s defeat
was a victory over the Democratic par
ty. That great organization had lost
its virtue. As before our great war it
had been dominated by the slave pow
er, so since that time it had been rule-l
by the money power. The breaking
away of the Bryan people discovered
the encouraging fact that the reform
'Icpient constituted a large majority of
tPo -pajity membership , _
In the tLird"plac?^i^k#Ss a'victcary^
that it aroused the people to a con
sciousness of their power.
A.nd in the fourth place, it was a
victory of the reform elements of the
country in that it has shown a large
majority of the people are in favor of
bimetallism.
With these facts before us to be
considered in connection with the con
tinued popularity of Mr. Bryan as evi
denced by the demand for his services
and the attention paid to his move
ments and utterances, the unbiased ob
server cannot avoid seeing that this
man is in the midst of the political
storm center.—Ex-Senator Peffer in
Topeka Advocate.
Some people consider it hard to be
poor, but the majority of us find it
dead easy.

' J THE POLITICAL DRIFT.
, ^ ■
The Ohio V alley Bimetallic
held a convention at Cincinnati June
22 and 23.—The object of the conven
tion "was to perfect an organization of
all those in favor of the free and un
limited coinage of gold and Rilv«^r. AH
clubs in the Ohio valley and contin
uous territory in Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky •were invited to send dele
gates,
“If it takes ten years to get a cotG
stitutional amendment adopted,” said
Senator Butler, of North Carolina, “the
work cannot beiriu *00 soon.” .Senator
Butler had reference ^i^ hi*? constitu
tional amendment, introduced Thurs
day to place .a tgx on incomes. “It is
hot the first time I have taken the step,
i intrhciuced » similar ainehdment two
yeara ago, j’ust after t.fia decision was
rendered, and it was referred to the
committee on the judiciary, wiiere it
Last session I had the
sumo Sxp(“r1pnce. Now I propose to
know whether it i.= rii« intention of ihe
committee to report on my amend
ment, and if not, I want the senate th
consider it in committee of the whole.
It is very singular,” added Mr. Butler,
“thAl within a few weeks after th^
Supreme Court renders a decisioi, ad
verse to railroad combination.s a deter
mined effort should be made lo -iiish
a pooling bill through congress, while
two years have elapsed since the in
come tax was declared unconstitution
al and nothing has been done. This
is not exactly fair to the people who
have to bear the burdens, especially
w’ith a period of high taxation ap
proaching.”
The New Y"ork Central Labor Union
has sent a circular letter to central la
bor bodies in other cities asking their
opinion as to the causes of involun
tary poverty and the remedy therefor.
A big mass meeting will be held in
Neiv Y^ork to discuss the answers.
Senator Allen has often in times past
spoken against the passage of private
pension bills giving a considerable sum
p-m month to the widows of officers in
the late w’ar, while a much smaller
sum was the highest rate ever allowed
to the widow of a private soldier. He
ha.s been preparing for a speech on
this subject, in which some notable in
stances are to lie mentioned, ami that
speech will soon be ready to deliver.
Saturday he introduced a resolution
declaring against such discrimination,
and gave notice that at a later day
he V’ould address the Senate upon it.
Oregon Populists did not declare
against future union with other reform
forces; they simply resolved to retain
autonomy and hold the party in shape
to defend the party principles regard
less of whether the other elements re
main true or not. There are no Pop
ulists that want to do otherwise, and
it is the proper course.—Iowa Farmers’
Tribune.
Farmers and residents of Powell, in
Delaware county, Ohio, have banded
together in a comniunitj' of their own,
which will issue its own money, and
in such quantity as is deemed nece.s-
sary. The organization will bo called
“The Labor Exchange,” and ics money
will be good for the labor or the pro
duct of labor among members of the
community. The community will aim
to include men of every occupation so
as to be self-supporting.

1 D, Wes Ny*-.'vlio ga\»• the memorable
National headquarters of the silver
Republicans will be in charge of ex-
Congressman Charles A. Towne .J)f
Ylinnesota, and for the present will be
at Duluth. The committee favored im
mediate organization for the congres
sional elections of 1898, and abso for
the campaign of 1900, and instructed
Chairman Towne to push this work as
rapidly as possible. Chairman Towne
said that the conference was better
attended than he expected, and that he
be'lieved that it indicated that the sil
ver Republicans wotild hold the bal
ance of power in the congressional and
presidential elections.
The usual symptoms of unrest in the
labor world are apparenr. On one sidq
the employes are re.sistiiig proposed
reductions in wages, and on the other
hand employers are resisting demands
for increase. The United Wood Vv’ork-
ers of the States of Yliniiesota, Michi
gan, the Dakotas, IMiuois and Wiscon
sin will make organized resistance to
,the efforts of the proposed sash and
door trust to reduce wages and oiit-
piKt. The Cleveland tin plate makers
at'^e preparing to resist demands of
'their men for better pay. These are
among the evidences of returning
prosperity.—Topeka Advocate.
Armed men prevent the passage of
citizens along public roads in Pennsyl
vania, YVar? Well, not exactly. The
private owners of mines up there want
to prevent their men from organizing
and demanding more wages, and
hired assassins to prevent any com
munications of the white Slavics with
outsiders. "No, it isn’t xvar, but it
ought to be, if necessary, to put an end
to such infernal tyranny.—Uncle Sam.
Cleveland left a legacy to McKinley,
and that was to guard well the inter
ests of Spain in Cuba, and well he is
guarding it. This is the “endless
chain” we read about, of a policy dic
tated by commercial greed.—Grand
