Wasiiisoton, May 28. In tbia dis course Dr. Talmage epeaks of some of Ibe perils that threaten onr American institutions and points out tne patn oi eafety; text, Isiiiah Uii, A.. "Thy land shall be married. As the greater includes the less, so does the circle of future joy around our entire world include the epicycle of our own republic. Bold, eihilarant, unique. divine imagery of the texL At tne close of a week in which for three days our national capital was a pageant, and all that grand review and bannered pro cession and national anthems could do celebrated peace, it may not be inapt to anticipate the time when the Frmce of Peace and the Heir of Universal Do minion shall take possession of this na tion and "thy land shall be married." In discussing the final destiny of this nation, it makes all the difference in the world whether we are on the way to a funeral or a wedding. The Bible leaves no doubt on this subject. In pul pits and on platforms and in places of public concourse I hear so many of the muffled drums of evil prophecy sounded, as though we were on the way to na tional interment, and beside Thebes and Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery of dead nations our republic was to be entombed, that I wish you to under stand it i3 not to be obsequies, but nup tials; not mausoleum, but carpeted al tnr: not cvrress. but orange blossoms ; not reouiem, but wedding march, for "thv land shall bo married I propose to name some of the suitors who are claiming tne nana oi xnis re public. This land is so fair, so beauti ful, to affluent that it has many suitors, and it will depend much upon your ad vice whether this or that shall be ac cepted or rejected. In the first place, l remark: There is a greedy, all grasping monster who comes in as suitor seeking the hand of this republic,-, and that monster is known by the name of mo nopoly. Ilisscepter is made but of the iron of the rail track and the wire of f Plporanhv. He does everything for his own advantage and for the robbery of the people. Things went on from bad to worse until in the three legislatures of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania for a long time monopoly decided every thinir. If monopoly favor a law, it passes; if monopoly opposes a law it is rpWted. Monopoly stands in the rail- road depot putting into his pockets In one year f200.000.000 in excess or an reasonable charges fcr services. Mo nopoly holds in his one hand the steam power of locomotion and in the other the electricity or swnt commumcauuu. Monopoly has the Republican party in one pocket and the Democratic party rlCr"i jr,rratv Zl: nomiiHiiiu.- u -V'-- tions, state elections, uauu?1 With bribes he secures the votes ci i,-Duf r?vin them free passes, " -;mti tn need v relatives gmuo ak,k .-- to lucrative position, empioyiug na attornevs if they are lawyers, carry ing their goods 15 per cent less if they are merchants, and if he find a case tptv stnbborn as well as very important puts down before him the hard cash of bribery. Not Eaallr Overthrown. But monopoly is not so easily caught ryrxr aa tcVipti durinff the term or iu.r. he term or mx. Buchanan the legislative committee in one of our states explored and exposed the manner in which a certain railway rn-inv had obtained a donation of public land. It was found out that 13 of the senators of that state received $175,000 among them, 60 memoers oi mn8t De the 8mothered groan oi muui ua trrpf bnnsa of that state received I runT,nna victims, the garlands must be k nno nnd ilO.000 each, tbe f V,of afofA rpreived S50.000, hi rlPrk received S5.000, the lieutenant covernor received $10,000. all the clerks of the legislature received $5,000 each, while $50,000 were divided among the lobby agent-. That thing cn a larger or smaller scale is all the time going on in r va atntP? in the union, but it t nnt co blundering as it used to be. and therefore not so easily exposed or arrested.

Let the millions of the people north, south, east and west forbid the banns of that marriage, forbid them at the ballot box, forbid tbein on the platform, for bid them by great organizations, for bia them by the overwhelming senti ment of an outraged nation, forbid them by the protest of the church of God, forbid them by prayer to high heaven. That Herod shall not have this AbigaiL It shall not be to all devour ing monopoly that this land is to De married. Another suitor claiming the hand cf this republic is nihilism. The Menace of Klhlllam. He owns nothing but a knife for uni versal cuttbroatery and a nitroglycerin bomb for universal explosion. He be lieves in no God, no government, no heaven and no hell except what he can make on earth 1 He slew the czar of Russia, keeps many a king practically imprisoned, killed Abraham Lincoln, would put to death every king and president on earth, and if he had the power would climb up until ,be could drive the God of heaven from his throne and take it himself, the universal butcher. In France it is called com munism; in the United States it is called anarchism ; in Russia it is called nihilism, but that last is the most graphic and descriptive term. It means complete and eternal smash up. It would make the holding of property a crime, and it would drive a dagger through your heart and put a torch to to your dwelling and turn over tms whole land into the possession of theft and lust and rapine and murder. Where does this moster live? In all the towns and cities of this land. It offers its hand to this fair republic. It proposes to tear to pieces the ballot box. the legislative hall, the congres sional assembly. It would take this land and divide it up, or rather divide it down. It would give as much to the idler as to the worker, to the bad as to the eood. Nihilism I This panther, hav ing prowled acrcss other lands, has set . . . a ia 1 5 4- its paw on our son, ana is is uuij injr for the time in wnicn to spring upon its prey, it was ninnism tuai burned the railroad property ax x-uia-bure during the great riots; it was ni hilism that slew black people in our northern cities during the war; it was nihilism that mauled to death the Chi nese immigrants years ago; it is nihil ism that glares out of the windows of the drtnkeries upon sober people as they go by. Ah I Its power has never yet been tested. I pray God its power may never be fully testea. at womu, n it had the power, leave every church, chapel, cathedral, schoolhouse and col lege in ashes. Let me say it Is tne worst enemy oi the laboring classes in any country. honeEt cry for reform lifted by op d larf,ring men is drowned out by the vociferation tor anarcny. me ' .. . i rfl, criminals and the vagabonds who range through our cities talking about tneir .;nkfo when' thpir first riaht is the m,fofla-- i thev could be hushed an(J tfae downtrodden laboring men of this country could e neara would be more Dreaa xor .

Infidelity proposes to 8wear in the president or tne uniteu states and the supreme court and the governor3 of states and the witneeses in tne couriruum mtu i ' , "r , Paine's "Age of Reason or oltaire a "Philosophy of History."

That book has been the motherof all reforms and all charities .pother f English magna charta and American Declaration of Independence Benjamin Franklin, holding that Holy Bock in his hand, stood before an in fidel club in Paris and read to them out of the prophecies of Habakkuk, and the infidels, not knowing what book it was, declared it was the best poetry they had ever heard. That book brought George Washington down on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge and led the dying Prince Albert to ask some one to sing "Rock of Ages." I tell you that the worst attempted crime of the century is the attempt to destroy this book. Yet infidelity, loath some, stenchful, leprous, pestiferous, rotten monster, stretches out its hand, ichorous with the second death, to take the hand of .this republic. It stretches it out through seductive magazines, and through lyceum lectures and through caricatures of religion. It asks for all that part of the continent already fully settled, and the two-thirds not yetc cupied. It says: "Give me all east of the Mississippi, with the keys of the church and with the Christian printing presses then give me Wyoming, give me Alaska give me Montana, give me Colorado, give me all the states west of the Mississippi, and I will take those places and keep them j by right of pos session long before the gospel can be fully intrenched." And this suitor presses his case ap pallingly. Shall the banns of that mar riage be proclaimed? "No I " say the home missionaries of the west, a martyr band of whom the world is not worthy, tolling amid fatigues and malaria' and starvation. "No! not if we can belp it. By what we and our children have suf fered, we forbid the banns of that mar riage I" "Nol" say all patriotic voices, "our institutions were bought at too dear a price and were defended at too great a sacrifice to be so cheaply sur rendered." "Nol" says the God of Bunker Hill and Independence hall and Gettysburg, "I did not start this nation for such a farce." "Nol" cry 1U.UUU voices, "to infidelity this land shall not be married 1" Christ a the Brldesrreeiu. But there is another suitor that pre sents his claim for the hand of this re public. He is mentioned in the verse following my text wnere it says, ab the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice ever thee. " It is not my figure it is the figure of tne Bible.

Uh, tou Christian patriots, by your con .'hntinna and vonr pravers. hasten on the fulfillment of the text Tbe Immigration Qneatlom. We have been turning an important leaf in the mighty tome of our national history. One year at .the gates 01 ... . ai onntinent over 500.000 emigrants arriv ed. I was told by the commissioners of migration that the probability was fbat in that one year 600,000 emigrants would arrive at the different gates of commerce. Who were they T the pau pers cf Europe? No. At Kansas City, I was told by a gentleman, who had op portunity for large investigation, that a great multitude bad gone through there, averaging in worldly estate f S00. I was told by an officer of the govern ment, who had opportunity for authen tic investigation, that thousands and thousands had gone, averaging $1,000 in possession each. I was told by the commission of emigration that 20 fami lies that had recently arrived brought f85,000 with them. Mark you, fami lies, not tramps. Additions to the na tional wealth, not subtractions there from I saw some of them reading their Bibles and their hymn books, thanking God for his kindness in helping them cross the sea. Some of them had Christ in the steerage all across the waves, and they will have Christ in the rail trains which at 5 o'clock every after noon start for the great west. They are being taken by the commission of emi gration in New York, taken from the vessels, protected from the Sbylocks and the sharper, and in the name of God and humanity passed on to their destination, and there they will turn your wildernesses into gardens, if yen will build for them churches and estab lish for them schools and send to them Christian missionaries. Are you afraid this continent is go ing to be overcrowded with this popu lation? Ah, that shows you have not been to California, that shows you have not been to Oregon, that 6hows that you have not been to Texas. A fishing smack today on Lake Ontario might as well be afraid of being crowded by other shipping before night as for any one of the next ten generations, of Americans to be afraid of being over crowded by foreign populations in this country. The one state of Texas is far larger than all the Austrian empire, yet the Austrian empire supports 3o,- 000,000 people. The one state or xexas ra larger than all Franca and trance supports 86,000,000 people. The one state of Texas far surpasses in size tue Oflrmanio empire, vet the Germanic empire supports 41, 000, COO people. 1 tell you the great want of the western states is more population. While some people may stand at tne cates of the city, saying, "btay bacfci to foreign populations, l press one as far beyond those gates as I can press out beyond them and beckon to foreign nation saying, "Come, come, all ye itt.M nnd indnstrious uvft' r " 44. and .ng , h But , y ovr 7 - . - . - tr, A nreiudices for foreign governments and i uauL uucui utiv. - sick of the governments tnai; navo up J . . t At pressed them and they want free Amer ica 1 Give them the great gospei 01 w- come.Throw around them all Christian hospitalities.
