Thrttj-tenthi of the men who are fighting the Sub-Treasury plan d .so by attempting to ridicule om proporied detail tor putting the plan into operation. Before you discuss the point of detail, first aik him how ho Htaudd on the principle on which the plan U b.wed. Afk him if he favors a Urger and a plyable volume of money. A currency bas ed on ou labor and the product of labor, as well as on on other securi ties, and money at a low rate of in terest a rate not higher than the average profits of wealth produces. You will find in nearly every case, in fact in every awe, that man will in the bottom of his heart be oppos ed to the above principles. Then make him discuss the principles, for why discuss the character of a plan with a man who is opposed to the principles of the plan? Why does he dodge the principles cf the plan? liecuaso it is easier to reduce de tails than to answer just principles. Whenever you find an intelligent, honest and fair-minded man opposed to the Sub-Treasury p'.an, he has not rend and carefully studied the prin ciples of the plan, but was suffering from the biased view of newspapers or others who had a purpose in mis representing the plan, or else were us ignorant of it as he himself. The Alliance in Its demands asks for tariff reform, and in the end will have it; but the reforms it demands are not of the same kind that, Mr. Mills and his friends would have. When the Alliance begins it reforms in that line it will striko down any nd all monopolies and wipe oet all unjust burdcas of taxation, wheth- r found in Kew England, New Yoik or any other section of the country. It will not inquire into the political effect af this or that measure, but will be guided by the one idea, is it right? Will it lessen tho burdens of the people and result in the benefit of all? This is the character of the tariff reform de manded by the Alliance, and the one it will nrge until adopted, when other measures have been settled. National Economist. AND WE HATE IT TO PAY. As time progresses the fearful hav voc ms.de by Confederate bullets upon the Federal armies beeomes more and more apparent. Commis sioner of Pensions Ilaum has alreadv granted aoout 800,000 claims for pen sions, ana says ne nas yuo.ouu more on file. Of these latter he says, ful ly half a million are original claims. Every man, woman and child capa ble of carrying a musket in the South during the war must have winged a YankeePhiladelphia Kecord. It takes $118,548,959 per year to keep those pensions up, and we must help pay the bill. WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS TRYING TO DO. The Alliance is a powerful organ ization tor political resistance to po litical wrong and injustice. It was inspired with the thought in whh'h the higher liberties of the people have often had their birth the re' dre s of grievance It was made necessary as a means or resistance to legalized monopoly, to legalized tex robbery, to trusts that sprung up everywhere to c'ioke down busi ness rivalry and honest competit ion, and to the accumulated advantages given to the corporations and com bines by the legislation of the coun try. It was the first grand effort of the farmers to combine in resistance to others who had combined for ag gression upon them.

Sorce of the Alliance organizations have been discussing the project of a free delivery of uail In the rural districts, a project which Postmas ter General Wanamaker seems to favor. It has been tried In a Halt ed experimental way and ke says that the increased revenue of the country offices where it has been tried has more than paid the expen ses of the delivery. The opinions of leading farmers have been sought and they favor it for many reasons. They say if they had free delivery and daily mails farmers would sub scribe for daily as well as weekly papers, keep up with the markets and abreast of events, and by thus coming into close contact with the world much of the monotony of fair hfe would be done away wita. As to the economy of the free delivery it Is cheaper to have one man deliv er the m:il when there is anything to deliver, than to have one persom from each farm ride to thepostoffice to get a paper, or other mail, thus requiring many to do what could as well be done by one. It is a good project and the probabilities are that it will be presented for the consid eration of the next Congress, LIFT YOUR HAT TO HER. Lift your hat reverently, says the jNew xorx itecora, When you pass the teacher of the primary school. She is the great angel of the Repub lic. She takes the bantling fresh from the homedest, full of pout ant passions an ungovernable little wretch whose own mother honestly admits that she sends him to chool to get rid of him. This lady, who knows her busimess, takes a whole carload of these little anarchists, one of whom single handed and alone, is nore than a match for his parents, and at once puts them in a way of being useful and upright citizens. At what expense of toil and patience and soul weariness! Lift your hat to her. THE METHODIST. The great Ecumen'cr.1 Conference of the world closed in Washington a few days ago.

COLUMN FOR THOSE WHO WILL READ AND 'iIIINK. The Sooth Is poor, says Congress man Henderson, because enormous and unjust taxes aie collected from her people by the Federal govern ment. If North Carolina contributes her share of the taxes, she ' pays $12,000,000 annually into the Federal treasury, and so at the same rate the single county of Rowan should pay 1200,000.

Counting tho rate of 200 minute for twelve hours every day It would take 6.944 days, or about nineteen years, to count a billion.

In the last week in February the sub-treasury in that city received three millions in gold from the city banks giving non-taxable certificates for them. About five millions of money will escape taxation. The state and county will lose $100,000 in taxes. The mi-idls and poorer clashes can not escape their taxes by such artifices. Ex . CANADA BOUSING UP. The uprising among the agricul tural'and laboring classes is not con fined to the United States alone. Canada had 40 representatives at the Cincinnati conference, and while they could accomplish but little it indicated one thing plainly and that was that the laboring people of Canada were looking for light.T and a'gentleman who has lately return ed from, the Dominion, says: the abor ! movement has grown so powerful that it is liable to bring about a crisis in the government in the near future.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 25. The Novosti estimates that 20,000,000 people are without food. A poor woman of Batch Ino, on returning home from a neighboring village, whither she had gone to try to purchase food, found all her chil dren dead, and a post-mortem ex amination being made, their stom achs were found filled with rags and earth. Many villages are completely de serted In the district of Perm. One half of the population of Reazan has died of hunger or disease.

THE The Baltimore Sun complains loudly of a recent campaign docu ment, as It Is pleased to call it, that Secretary Foster has Issued In pam phlet form, on "Comparative Peri- odi under the Old and New Tariff?." When the secretary issued a pre vious campaign document on the "Volume of Currency," the Sun published a greater portion of it and commended his wisdom. It makes a vast difference with the opinions of the Sun as to whose ox Is being gored. National Economist. A Wsader Worker.

"If Steve El kins enters the Cabi net," said a Republican who knows his'-aan well, "it will be to help isi&iuo ana not to help Harrison as some people suppose. Elklns has more lnaucial irons In the fire than any man I know, and you may be certain that he would not be willing to neglect them even temporarily if there were- not some big political schemo to be worked up. Those who talk about his selling out Blaine for a Cabinet appointment simply expose their ignorance of the real zis lion between lholwo men. 1 ' There seems to be a hitch some where in the selection of Secretary Proctor 'r successor, at it is now an nounced that he may not leave the! Cabinet until Just before Cangres j meets. Some people are unkind enough to say that it is merely the natural thrift of the man, which cau ses him to wish to retain an $8,000 salary as long as possible before giv-1 lng It up lor one of only $5,000. j Another Southern city will be honored if some of the narrow mind ed breed do not cause Secretary Tra cy to change his mind about naming Cruiser No. 9, the sistership to No. 10, launched at Baltimore day be fore yosierday, which has been nam ed Detroit. Mr. Tracy has almost promised thut No, 9 shall be named Mobile. A number of National Banks in different sections of the country are doing business in violation of the law, by faiiiug to substitute Interest bearing Government Bonds with the Treasurer of the.United States as se curity for their circulation, in place of, the 4 j percent, boads 30 held, which have ceased to bear, interest. The Secretary of the Treasury has been easy with these offenders be cause he hoped to be able to persuade them to continue their expired 44 per cents at 2 per cent, which would make them availabl. as security for circulation. This is a little thing comparatively, but it gives an idea of the scheming done oy Secretary Foster to get money to meet the ob ligations of the Tretsury as they mature. So lar he has succeeded, but it is no secret here that he very much dreads the lnture when he shall have completely drained even all the small sourees or supply. Having made public its demands upod the Chi lian Government on account of the robbing of American sailors at Valparaiso and been an swered by Chilli's note of defiance, the administration is now trying to discover the proper way out. Senor Moutt, who represented the Chillian Junta for some months past, has been notified by cable of his appointment as minister to this country. After twa attempts he succeeded in get ting an interview with Secretary Blaine, who declined to recogdize him as the representative of Chilli until he presented his credentials. Mrs. Thompson, of South Caroli na, wife or the Democratic memoer of the Civil Service Commission, has been elected president of a ladies organization, formed for lhe purpose ot raising money by entertainments and otherwise to aid needy and dis abled ex-Coo federate soldiers. Secretary. Blaine has now been in Washington almost a week, but the sun nee ana sets just the same as before his return. He may control he IteDnblicaa party, but that 13 anout as tar as he can go, aud even that is going to be disputed with him. unless all signs fail. WORLD'S ACCIDENTS. EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN.

Govern ment demanded in strong terms an immediate, explinatiou, investiga tion and reparation of the murder of the U. S. Soldiers, by tfe unman citizens and police. Chili replies: "That the frovernment of the United States formulates demands and ad vances threats ; that, without being east back with acrimony, are not acceptable, nor could they be accept ed in the present case or in any other of like nature"' It further says that nntil the Chilian criminal courts make an investigation, which will be in secret, 11 can say nothing about the the matter. - .

Though the Pliuroahs of Old Egrypt Have Been Itad for Mauy CenturicH, there are Still Muny lMmroahs Who are Demand lug Brick With out Straw. BROOBXY5, Nov. 1. The Tabernacle was throngpd as usual this nioralng. The vart cdifloe filled to its utmost capacity with eager listeners shows how the popular preacher retains his powar over the people. Although he has been preaching In Brooklyn for more than twenty-four years, his audiences were never so large as now, und although the largest Protestant church lu Amer ica has been built for hiru, there nerer was a tiino when bo many persons wew turned away for lack of room. The subject of this morning's sermon wa "Bricks Without Straw," a continua tion of tho series on the confirmation of Holy Scripture which Dr. Talruapo ound in his journey from the Pyramids to the Acropolis. His text was Isaiah xix, 1, 'The burden of Egypt." NVhat w all this excitement about in the streets cf Cairo. Eirypt, thits Decem ber morning in 1SS0? Stand back! We hear loud voices and see the crowds of people retreating to the sides of the street. The excitement of others le comes our own excitement. Fxtmcn come In sight. They have a rod in the hand and tasseled cap on head, and their arms and feet are b;m. Their garb is black to the waist, except an threaded with gold, and the rest La white. They are clearing the wav for an official dignitary in a chariot or car riage. They aro swift and sometimes run thirty or forty miles at a stretch in front of an equipage. Make way I They are the fleetest footed men on earth, but soon die, for the human frame was not made for rach endur ance. I asked all around me who the man In the carriage was, but no one seemed to know. Yet as I fell back with the rest to the wall I said. This Is tho old custom found all op and down the Bible, footmen running before the rul ers, demanding obeisance, as in Genesis before Joseph's chariot the people were commanded, "Bow the knee," and as X 033 the swift feet of the men, fol lowed by the swift feet of the horses, how those old words of Jeremiah rushed through my mind, "If thou hast ran with the footmen and they have wearied thee, how canst thou oontend with horses V Now, my hearers, In this course of sermons I am .only serving you as foot man, and clearing the way for your coming into the wonders of Egyptology, a subject that I would have you study far beyond anything that can be said In the brevity of pulpit utterance. Two hundred and eighty-nine times does the Bible refer to Egypt and the Egyp tians. No wonder, for Egypt was the mother of nations. Egypt, the mother of Greece; Greece, the mother of Rome; Rome, the mother of England; England, the mother of our own land. According to that, Egypt is our great- great-grandmother. On other Sabbaths I left you study lng what they must have been in Jheir glory; the Hypostyle hall of Karnac, the architectural miracles at Luxor, the Colonnade of Horemheb. the ceme teries of Memphis, the value of a king dom In one monument, the Sphinx, which with lips of stone speaks loud enough to be heard across the centu ries, Hellopolis and Zoan, the conun drum of archaeologists. But all that extravagance of palace and temple and monument was the cause of an oppres sion hhrh as heaven and deep as helL The weight of those blocks of stone. heavier than any modern machinery could lift, came down upon the He brew slaves, and their blood mixed the mortar for the trowels. ' TUB KOUGH TASKMASTERS. We saw again and again on and along the Nile a boss workman roughly smite a subordinate who did not please him. It is no rare occurrence to see long lines of men under heavy burdens passing by taskmasters at short distances, lash ing them as they go by into greater speed, and then these workmen, ex hausted with the blasting heats of the day, lying down upon the bare ground, suddenly chilled with night air, crying out in prayer: "Ya, Allah P "Ya, Allah!" which means O Godl O Godl But what must have been the olden times cruelty shown by the Egyptians toward their Israelitish slaves is indicated by a picture in the Beni Hassan tombs, where a man Is held down on his face by two men and an other holds up the victim's feet while the officials beat the bare back of the victim, every stroke, I have no doubt, fetching the bood. Now you see how the Pharaohs could afford to build such costly works. It cost them nothing for wages, nothing but the tears and blood of the toilers, and tears and blood are a cheap drink for devils. "Bricks without straw may not suggest so much hardship until vou know that the bricks were usually made with "crushed straw, straw crushed by the feet of the oxen to? the thrashing, and, this crushed straw denied to the workmen, they had to T?iek up here and there a piece of stubble or gather rushes from the -waterrddsL This story of the Bible Is confirmed by the fact that many of the brick walls of Egypt have on the lower layers brick made with straw, but the higher layers of brick made out of rough straw or rushes from the river bank, the trutu oj.tue poo& oixjnqnj Uru writteu ta tfc trkk wT diwov ercd by thm i.Jem eijJcrmrt.

What think you of that, you who groan nnJr heavy taxes In America? I have heard that In Ejypt the working fople hav a song like this, "Thy ttarve us, they starre us, th?y beat us, tby Uat us; but there's some oil above, there's some one alove, who will puuUh them well, who will punish thfm well." Hut seventy per cent, of government tax Is a mercy as compared to what the He brew slaves ufterod there In Illblo times. They got nothing but food hardly fit for a dog, and their clothing was of one rag, and their roof a burn ing eky by day and the stars of heaven by ni-ht. iousay, "Why did they etcuxd ltT Because they had to stand it You see, along b;ick hi the world's twilight, there was a famine in Canoui, and old Jacob and his sons came to EVvpt tit bread.

Jacob's descendants rapidly multi plied. After awhile Egypt took a turn at famine, and those descendant of Jacob, the Israelites, eauie to a err at storehouse which Joseph had provided, and paid hi money for com. But af ter awhile the mony- gave out an4 then they paid in cattle. After awhile the cattle were all In possesion of the government, and then the Hebrews bought corn from the government by surrendering themselves as slaves. SXAVEHT IX K3TPT. Then begwr slavery In Egypt The government owned all the Hebrews. And let modern lunatics, who in Ainer ca propose handing over telegraph companies and railroads and other things to be run by government Mf the folly of letting government get its land on everything. I would rather trust the people than any government the United Stafss ever had or will iave. Woe worth the day when lefis ators and congresses and ad mi iUKt ra tions get possession of anything more than It is necessary for them to have. That would be the revival in this land of that old Egyptian tyranny for which God has never had anything but red hot thunderbolts. But through such unwise processes Israel was enslaved In Egypt, and tb long 15ne of agonies began all up and down the Nile. Heavier and ehsrper fell the laeh, hungrier and ghaxtlier grew the workmen, louder and longer went op the prayer, until three millions of the enslaved were eryin: "To, Al lah! YaAllohr O God! O Oodl Where was help to come front Not the throne, rharaoh sat upon that. Not the army, Pharaoh's officers com manded that. Iot surrounding na tions, Pliaraoh's threat mdt them tremble. Not the gods Amnion and Osiris or the goddess Isls, for Pharaoh bailt their temples out of the groans of this diabolical servitude. But one hot day the Princess Thonoris, the daughter of Pharaoh, while In her bathing house on the banks of the Kile, has word brought her that there is a baby afloat on the river In a cradle mode out of big leaves. UI course there n excitement oil np and down the backs, lur on ordinary baby in on ordinary cradle attracts (-smiling attention, but no lufaet in cradle of papyrus rocking on a river arouses not only admiration but curi osity. 'Who made that boot? Who made it watertight with bitumen t Who launched it? Reckless of the croco diles who lay basking themselves In the sun, the maidens wade in and snatch up the child, and first one carries him and then another carries him, and all tlie way up the bank he runs a gantlet of caresses, till Thonoris rushes out of the bathing house and says: "BeatAI ful loundJing, I wui adopt you as my own. lou snau yet wear tne tsgypnan crown and sit on the Egyptian throne. No! No! No! He is to be the emancipator of the Hatvrews. Tell It In all the brick kilns. TU it among all those who are writhing aader the lash.

When he Is dead, God will come down on Kebo and alone bury him, no man er woman or angel worthy to attend the obsequies. The child grows up and goes out and studies the horrors of Egyptian oppres sion and suppresses his indignation, for the right time has not come, although once for a minute he let fly, and when be saw a taskmaster put the whip on the back of a workman who was domg iii best, and heard tae poor renow otry tad sow the blood spurt, Moses doubled ip his ftst and struck him on the text ale till the cruel villain rolled over in 'iie sand exanimate and never swung ihe lash again.
