Are the far mers grievances not real ? Yes. Then offer us a bet let remedy than the one we demand or shut up. The hardest blow yet struck the much vaunted tin-plate clauso of the McKinley tariff act, which goes into effect July 1st, next, was given by Hon. David A. Wells, who says that the Standard OU Monopoly will thereby be benefitted to the extent of $1,000,000 ft year In draw backs, on the tin used In Its export pack ages Mr. Wells says that notice was served on Mr. McKinley and his Re publican associates by the Standard Oil people that unless their interests were taken care of by the insertion of a provision allowing a draw-back on imported lin-plate used in the ex portatiou of domestic products they would defeat the bill. Tho pro vi sion was inserted, and under it this wealthy monopoly will get its tin plate for about $3.52 a box, while all ordinary consumers will lure to pay about $6.00 a box. The people also served a notics'on Congre3s that th ey needed some remedial laws, but the people were hooted at. They have nothing to do with this plutocratic government. They haven't eh ! They will show you. Some people, ignorant, of what good editing is, imagine the getting up of selected matter the easiest work in the world to do, whereas it is the nicest work done done a news paper. If they see the editor with scissors in his hand they are sure to say: "Eh, that's the way you are getting up original matter eh?" ac companying their new, witty ques tion with an idiotic wink or smile. The facts are that the interest, the variety and the usefulness of a pa per depend in no small degree upon tho selected matter, and lew men are capable for the position who would not themselves be able to write many of the articles they se lect. A sensible editor desires con siderable select matter, because he knows that one mind cannot make so good a paper as five on six. A number of papers and politi cians are claiming that if the Sub Treasury plan were put into opera tion, that paper money would im mediately depreciate. If any of these parties can show that this sys tem of finance (this system of get ting money directly to the people, a money based upon the necessities of life) would reduce such money below par with gold (and this is the severest test) then we will never again raise our voice in advocacy of the system. Who accepts the challenge? Yes, cheap sugar is good and de sirable, and we are glad to have it ; but why isn't it just as good and de sirable to have cheap clothing, blankets and farm implements ?

The Queen of Sheba Brought Wonderful Spices to Solo mon, the Great King. WHY SHOULD NOT THE CHURCH OF FER THE 5PICE OF ENERGETIC RELIGION TO GOD? Brookltn, May 3. The capacity of tho New Tabernacle was fully tested this morning by the vast audience which assembled to hear Dr. Talxnage in his handsome and spacious church. He is now preaching there morning and evening, and The Christian Herald services in New York have been dis continued. This has caused much re gret to many people in that city. A memorial was prepared and signed by influential citizens asking Dr. Talmage to continue the services. Ue could not see his way to comply at the time, but as he was evidently impressed by the warmth of the welcome given him in the metropolis, and deeply moved by the good that was done, it is not im probable that in the near future he will again be found duplicating his use fulness by ministering to two congre gations, as he has been doing during the past seven months. His subject this morning was "Humdrum Abol ished," and his text II Chronicles ix, 9, "Of spices great abundance; neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon." What is that building out yonder, glittering in the sun? Have you not heard ? It is the house of the forest of Lebanon. King Solomon has just taken to it his bride, the princess of Egypt. You see the pillars of the portico, and a great tower adorned with one thousand shields of gold hung on the outside of the tower five hun dred of the shields of gold manufactured at Solomon's order, five hundred were captured by David, his father, in bat tle. See how they blaze in the noon day sun. THE STOKY OF SOLOMOX Solomon goes up the ivory stairs of his throne between twelve lkms in stat uary, and sits down on the back f the golden bull, the head of the beast turned toward the people. The family and attendants of the king are so many that the caterers of the palace have to provide every day one hundred sheep and thirteen oxen, besides the birds and the venison. I hear the stamping and pawing of four thousand fine horses in the royal stables. There were impor tant officials who had charge of the work of gathering the straw and the barley for these horses. King Solomon was an early riser, tradition says, and used to take a ride out at daybreak, and when in his white apparel, behind the swiftest horses of all the realm, and followed by mounted archers in pur ple, as the cavalcade dashed through the streets of Jerusalem ! suppose was something worth getting up at five o clock in the morning to look at. Solomon was not like some of the kings of the present day crowned im becility. All the splendor of his palace and retinue was eclipsed by his intel lectual power. Why, he seemed to know everything. He was the first great naturalist the world ever saw. Peacocks from India strutted the basal tic walk, and apes chattered in the trees, and deer stalked the parks, and there were aquariums with foreign fish, and aviaries with foreign birds; and tradition says these birds were so well tamed that Solomon might walk clear across the city under the shadow of their wings as they hovered and flitted about him. nis WISDOM. More than this, he had a great repu tation for the conundrums and riddles that he made and guessed. He and King Hiram, his neighbor, used to sit by the hour and ask riddles, each one paying in money if he could not answer or guess the riddle. The Solomonic navy visited all the world, and the sail ors, of course, talked about the wealth of their king, and about the riddles and enigmas that he made and solved ; and the news spread until Queen Balkis, away off south, heard of it, and sent messengers with a few riddles that she would like to have Solomon solve, and a few puzzles which she would like to have him find out. She sent among other things to 'King Solomon a dia mond, with a hole so small that a needle could not penetrate it, asking him to thread that diamond. And Solomon took a worm and put it at the opening in the diamond, and the worm crawled through, leaving the thread in the diamond. The queen also sent a goblet to Sol omon, asking him to fill it with water that did not pour from the sky, and that did not rush out from the earth; and immediately Solomon put a slave on the back of a swift horse and gal loped him around and around the park until the horse was nigh exhausted. and from the perspiration of the bone the ' goblet was filled. She also sent King Solomon five hundred boys in girls dress " and five hundred girls in boys' dress, wondering if he would be acute enough to find out the deception. Immediately Solomon, when he saw them wash their faces knew from the way they applied the water that it was all a cheat. Queen Balkis was so pleased with the acuteness of Solomon that she said, "Til just go and see him for myself" Yonder it comes, the cavalcade horses and dromedaries, chariots and charioteers, jingling harness and clat tering hoofs, and blazing shields and flying ensigns and clapping cymbals. The place is saturated with the per fume. She brings cinnamon and saf fron and ealamns and frankincense and all maimer of sweet epicea. As the ret inue rweepa through the gate the armed guard Inhale the aroma. "Halt!" cry the charioteers, as the w heels grind the gravel In front of the pillared portico of the kins. Queen Balkis alLmU in an atmosphere bewitched with per fume. As the dromedaries are driven up to the king's storehouses, and the bundles of camphor are unloaded, and the Backs of cinnamon and the boxes of spices are opened, the purveyors of the palace discover what my text an nounces, "Of spices, great abundance; neither was there any such spices as tho Queen of Sheba gave to King Solu tion. 1K SPICE OF KKLXOIOX. Well, my friends, you know that all theologians agree in making Solomon a type of Christ, and making the queen of Sheba a type of every truth seeker; and I shall take tho responsibility of saying that all the spikenard and cas sia and frankincense which the aueen of Sheba brought to King Solomon are mightily suggestive of the sweet spices of our holy religion. Christianity is not a collection of sharp technicalities and angular facts and chronological tables and dry statistics. Our religion is compared to frankincense and to cassia, but never to nightshade. It is bundle of myrrh. It is a dash of holy light It is a sparkle of cool fountains. It is an opening of opaline gates. . It is a collection of spices. Would God that we were as wise in taking spices to our Divine King as Queen Balkis was wise in taking the spices to the earthly Solomon ! What many of us most need is to have the humdrum driven out of our life and the humdrum out of our religion. The American and English and Scottish church will die of humdrum unless there be a change. An editor from San Francisco a few weeks ago wrote me saying he was get ting up for his paper a symposium from many clergymen, discussing among other things "Why do not people go to church V and he wanted my opinion, and I gave it in one sentence, "People do not go to church because they can not stand the humdrum." The fact is that most people have so much hum drum in their worldly calling that they do not want added the humdrum of re ligion. We need in all our sermons and exnorations and songs and prayers more of what Queen Balkis brought to Solomon namely, more spice. lne lact is tnat tne duties and cares of this life coming to us from time to time are stupid often and inane and intolerable. Here are men who have been bartering and negotiating, climb ing, pounding, hammering for twenty years, forty years, fifty years. One great long drudgery has their life been. Their face anxious, their feelings be numbed, their days monotonous. What is necessary to brighten up that man's Hfe, and to sweeten that acid dis position, and to put sparkle into the man's spirits? The spicery of our holy religion. Why, if between the losses of life there dashed a gleam of an eter nal gain; if between the betrayals of life there came the gleam of the undy ing friendship of Christ; if in dull times in business we found ministering spirits flying to and fro in our office and store and shop, everyday life, instead of be ing a stupid monotone, would ue a glorious inspiration, penduluming be tween calm satisfaction and high rapt ure. AS INEXPLICABLE MYSTERY. How any woman keeps house with out the religion of Christ to help her is a mystery to me. To have to spend the greater part of one's life, as many women do, in planning for the meals, in stitching garments that will soon be rent again, and deploring breakages, and supervising tardy subordinates, and driving off dust that soon again will settle, and doing the same thing day in and day out, and year in and year out, until their hair silvers, and the back stoops, and the spectacles crawl to the eyes, and the grave breaks open under the thin sole of the shoe oh, it is a long monotony! But when Christ comes to the drawing room, and comes to the kitchen, and comes to the nursery, and comes to the dwelling, then how cheery become all womanly duties. She is never alone now. Mar tha gets through fretting and joins Mary at the feet of Jesus. All day long Deborah is happy be cause she can help Lapidoth ; Hannah, because she can make a coat for young Samuel; Miriam, because she-can watch her infant brother: Rachel, because she can help her father water the stock; the widow of Sarepta, because the cruse of oil is being replenished. O woman 1 having in your pantry a nest of boxes containing all kinds of condi ments, why have you not tried in your heart and hfe the spicery of our holy religion? "Martha! Martha! thou art careful and troubled about many things ; but one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that cood part which shall not be taken away from her." I must confess that a great deal of the religion of this day la utterly in sipid. There is nothing piquant or ele vating about it. Men and women go around humming psalms in a minor key, and culturing melancholy, and their worship has in it more sighs than rapture. "We do not doubt their piety. Oh, no. But they are sitting at a feast where the cook has forgotten to season the food. Evervthinz is flat in their experience and in their conversation. Emancipated from sin and death and hell and on their way to a magnificent heaven, they act as though they were trudging on toward an everlasting Botany bay. Religion does not seem to agree with, them. It seems to catch In the windpipe and become a tight stranemlation instead of an exhilara tion. All the Infidel books that have been written, from Voltaire down to Herbert Spencer, have not done so much dam age to our Christianity as lugubrious Christians. Who wants a religion woven out of the shadows ot the night t Why go growling on your way to celes tial enthronement! Come out of that cave, and sit down in the warm light f Continued on Second Page. FRENCH MeKINLEYISM.TI,K imasiuikach liorEL. FRANCE IS REVISING HER TARIFF UPWARD. Corrupted by Mclviiiley's Exaui- lle.lligh Turin Airltnt ion. French Industries Alarm otl. SOMETHING FOR THE FARMER. AMERICAN A year ago we were in the midst of tho tariff excitement growing oat of tho Mc Kinley bill. Committees of manufact urers were rushing back and forth in Washington, some pustding for duties to protect them from ruin, others pleading against proposed duties, likewise to avoid ruin. France is now going through precisely the same experience, a txAmni&ikm hav ing been appointed hut year to revise the tariff. The French had caught the tariff grippe from us, and with them also to revise means to revise upward. This commission has been at work for months, and only recently it has brought in ita reports. Discussion has begun in the chamber of deputies and will con tinue till next fall. The tariff is to be ready to go into operation next Febru ary. The chairman of the tariff commission is M. Meline. who may be called the French McKinley. He honors the ideas of our McKinley and parades them be fore the chamber of deputies in the garb of patriotism, much after the manner of our lord high tariff maker. . He appeals to the example set by the United States as a sufficient reason why France should revise her tariff upward. When our exports to France, there fore, are cut down by the new French duties, our farmers must thank William McKinley, of Ohio, for having narrowed their foreign market This M. Meline is thoroughly saturated with McKinley ideas. Here Is a sentence from his re port: "The best system for a country is that which secures for it the greatest amount of labor." Most people of ordi nary common sense think th&t the bast system is that which secures the great est amount of commodities, ure quite content to save their labor, and v.' ill even invent curious and cunning machinery to save labor. But McKinley and Me line think that it is labor that we need more and more labor! But McKinleyism is stirring up a storm of opposition in France. Last year, when we were about to pass the McKinley bill with very heavy duties on French products, the French made haste to put a duty of fifteen cents a bushel on our corn. The result of this, along with the rise in the price of corn, has been to close up a number of large distilleries in Bordeaux, Marseilles and other places, which were running mainly on corn im ported from the United States. The great distillery at Marseilles has been closed up, and the stockholders decided to put it into liquidation. It used about 3,000 bushels of corn per day. It is pointed out by a French journal that the distilleries of that country using corn had a capital of $8,000,000, that they were in a most flourishing condi tion a year ago, but that after eight months of duties on foreign corn the dis tilleries are ruined. In view f these facts what a piece of grim humor for M. Meline to say in his report, "The producer does not ask for any privilege, he asks for only one thing, and that Is justiceT But the distillers are not the only peo ple in France who have been stirred up by the tariff builders. In Calais, just across the Strait of Dover from England, the principal industry is the making of cotton laces and nettings, the annual prod action of which amounts to $14, 000,000. The industry gives employment to 27,000 persons. Now, these laces are made of a kind of thread produced only in Nottingham, England. The spinners of France do not produce the thread at all, but M. Meline wants to make them spin that grade in order to make "mow labor." Accordingly he puts a duty of from thirty-seven to forty-six cents a pound on it. But this Is not all; the lace industry must bear a soil greater burden. Its lace looms are not made in France at all, but M. Meline wants to create "more labor" for the French people. He does not want the French lace makers to nee English4 looms, and so he performs a I feat of McKinleyism and raises the m lnomn. now ti60 each, to 4AO UI course toe lace-maKers protest vig - . . a a. l orously against these burdens upon then industry. They point out that the ex- isting duties on cotton thread have crip- pled the industry, 2fiO0 of the weavers having emigrated to foreign countries to carry with them the secre t f their trade. Besides these cases the rilk industries of Lyons, Saint Eaenne and other places have protested against the proposea auty on raw Bilk, and the commission aoan- doned the proposal. But when the com mission wanted to vote a duty upon silk goods, and when the great eilk manu facturers of Lyons objected tne comnus sion went ahead and voted the duty thus protecting the manufacturers in spite of themselves. A meeting or toe paper, doojc ana printing trade of Paris, too, was held to nrotest aesinst the duties which would prove burdensome to their in dustry. The manufacturers of linen underwear, with an annual production of $40,000,000, protested against the enormous duties on their material, which would thus be made to cost from five to seven times more than in Ger many and Austria. Thus eoes the tartxt war in inrance. it is but a repetition of what has been seen over and over again in our own country. So called statesmen, fancying that they know better than the people themselves what is best for them to do, step in with their nostrum of protection in order to efve the people more work to do to meet their wants. It J the same old story everywhere. The liberty of the indi vidual to bay and aell where he choses is ruthlessly infringed, the many are taAed for the few, the powerful, the rich, gettbo lion's share, and the many weak a fleeced. Such is protection. ; 31 r. Hunter nt Down on Tues day to liet Thing in Order A Hlpy Sarreat Ion About That Tent lor Xeunpaprr Men.
