TALM AGE'S SEliMON. "THE PETTY ANNOYANCES LIFE" THE SUBJECT. OF Oolden Teztt UoreoTer the Lord Thy God Will Send the Hornet Among Them Until Them That Hide Them' aelvea from The Are Destroyed." ASHINGTON. D. C Dec. 15, 1895. Dr. Talmage to day chose for his dlscourse a theme j that will appeal to j most people, viz.: The petty annoy ances of life. It seems as if the i n 8 e c t ile world were determined to extirpate the human race. It bombards tho grain fields and the orchards and the vineyards. The Colorado beetle, the Nebraska grasshopper, the New Jersey locust, the universal potato-bug, eem to carry on the work which was begun apes ago when the insects buzzed out of Noah's Ark as the door was opened. In my text, the hornet flies out on Its mission. It is a species of wasp, swift in its motion and violent in its eting. Its touch is torture to man or bea?t. We have all seen the cattle run bellowing under the cut of its lancet, j In boyhood we used to stand cautiously ! looking at the globular nest hung from the tree branch, and while we were looking at the wonderful covering we were struck with something that sent tis shrieking away. The hornet goes in swarms. It has captains over hun dreds, and twenty of them alighting on one man will produce death. The Persians attempted to conquer a Christian city, but the elephants and the beasts on which the Persians rode were assaulted by the hornet, so that the whole army was broken up, and the besieged city was rescued. This burning and noxious insect stung out the Hittltes and the Canaanites from their country. What gleaming sword and chariot of war could not accomplish was done by the puncture of an Insect The Lord sent the hornet. My friends, when we are assaulted by great behemoths of trouble, we be come chivalric, and we assault them; we get on the hlgh-meltled steed of our courage, and we make a cavalry charge at them, and, if God be with us, we eome out stronger and better than when we went in. But, alas, for these lnsec tile annoyances of life these foes too small to shoot these things without any avoirdupois weight the gnats and the midges and the flies and the wasps and the hornets! In other words, it is the small stinging annoyances of our life which drive us out and use us up. In the best-conditioned life, for some grand and glorious purpose God has sent the hornet. I remark, in the first place, that these ema.ll stinging annoyances may come In the shape of -a nervous organization. People who are prostrated under typhoid fevers or with broken bones get plenty of sympathy; but who pities anybody that is nervous? The doctors ay, and the family say, and everybody says, "Oh, she's only a little nervous; that's all!" The sound of a heavy foot, the harsh clearing of a throat, a dis cord In music, a want of harmony be tween shawl and the glove on the same person, a curt answer, a passing slight, the wind from the east, any one of ten thousand annoyances opens the door for the hornet. The fact is that the vast majority of the people in this coun try are overworked, and their nerves are the first to give out. A great mul titude are under the strain of Leyden, who, when he was told by his physician that if he did not stop working while he was in such poor physical health he would die, responded, "Doctor, whether I live or die, the wheel must keep going round." These sensitive persons of whom I speak have a bleeding sensitive ness. The flies love to light on any- thing raw, and these people are like the Canaanites spoken of in the text or In the context they have a very thin covering, and are vulnerable at all points. "And the Lord sent the hor net." Again, the small insect annoyances may come to us in the shape of friends : and acquaintances who are always say ing disagreeable things. There are some people you cannot be with for half an hour but you feel cheered and com forted. Then there are other people you cannot be with for five minutes be fore you feel miserable. They do not mean to disturb you, but they sting you to the bone. They gather up all the yarn which the gossips spin, and re tail it. They gather up all the adverse -criticisms about your person, about your business, about your home, about i your church, and they make your ear the funnel into which they pour It. I as though It were a good joke, and you laugh too outside. These people are brought to our at tention in the Bible, in the Book of IRuth. Naomi went forth beautiful and -with the finest of worldly prospects, and Into another land; but, after awhile, he came back widowed and sick and Door. What did her friends do when she came to the city? They all went out, and, instead of giving her common sense consolation, what did they do? Read the Book of Ruth and find out. They threw up their hands and said, "Is this Naomi?" as much as to say, "How awful bad you do look!" When I entered the ministry I looked very pale for year, and every year, for four or five years, a hundred times a year, I was asTied if I had not the consumption; and, passing through the room I would sometimes hear people sigh and say, .hi wtnt .ine for this world!" I re- olved in -those times that I never, in any conversation, would say anything depiesslng, and by the help of God I have kept the resolution. These peo ple of whom I speak reap and bind in the great harvest-field of discourage ment. Some day you greet them with an hilarious "eood-morninsr." and they come buzzing at you with some depress ing information. "The Lord sent the hornet." When I 6ee so many people in the world who like to say disagreeable things, and write disagreeable things, I come almost in my weaker moments to believe what a man said to me in Philadelphia one Monday morning. I went to get the horse at the livery sta- hie, and the hostler, a plain man, sam to me, "Mr. Talmage, I saw that you preached to the young men yesterday. I said, "Yes." He said, "No use, no use; man's a failure." Perhaps these small insect annoy ances will come in the shape of a do mestic irritation. The parlor and the kitchen do not always harmonize. To get good service and to keep it, is one of the greatest questions of the coun try. Sometimes it may be the arro gancy and inconsiderateness of employ ers, but, whatever be the fact, we all admit there are these Insect annoy ances winging their way out from the culinary department. If the grace of uoa De not in tne nean or tne House keeper, she cannot maintain her equili brium. The men come home at night and hear the story of these annoyances, and say. "Oh. these home troubles are very little things!" They are small. small as wasps, but they sting. Martha's nerves were all unstrung when she rushed in, asking Christ to scold Mary, and there are tens of thousands of wom en who are dying, stung to death by these pestiferous domestic annoyances. "The Lord sent the hornet." Thsse small insect disturbances may also come in the shape of business irri tatioas. There are men here who went through 1857 and the 24th of September, 1SG9, without losing their balance, who are every day unhorsed by little an noyances a clerk's ill manners, or a blot of ink on a bill of lading, or the extravagance of a partner who over draws his account, or the underselling by a business rival, or the whispering ' of store confidences in the street, or the making of some little bad debt which was against your judgment, just to please somebody else. It is not the panics that kill the merchants. Panics come only once in ten or twenty years. It is the constant din of these every-day annoyances which is sending so many of our best merchants into nervous dyspepsia and paralysis and the grave. When our na tional commerce fell flat oh its face, these men stood up and felt almost de fiant; but their life is going away now under the swarm of these pestiferous annoyances. "The Lord sent the hor net." These annoyances are sent on us, I think, to wake us up from our lethargy. There is nothing that makes a man so lively as a nest of "yellow jackets," and I think that these annoyances are in tended to persuade us of the fact that this is not a world for us to stop in. If we had a bed of everything that was attractive and soft and easy, what would we want of heaven? We think that the hollow tree sends the hornet, or we may think that the devil sends the hornet. I want to correct your opinion. "The Lord sent the hornet." Then I think these annoyances come on us to culture our patience. In the gymnasium, you find upright parallel bars upright bars.with holes over each other for pegs to be put in. Then the gymnast takes a peg in each hand and he begins to climb, one inch at a time, or two inches, and getting his strength cultured, reaches after awhile the ceil ing. And it seems to me that these an noyances in life are a moral gymna sium, each worriment a peg with which we are to climb higher and higher in Christian attainment. We all love to see patience , but it cannot be cultured in fair weather. Patience is a child of the storm. If you had everything de sirable, and there was nothing more to get, what would you want with pa tience? The only time to culture it is when you are lied about, and sick and half dead. "Oh," you say, "if I only had the cir cumstances of some well-to-do man I would be patient, too." You might as well say, "If it were not for this water i would swim;" or, "I could shoot this gun if it were not for the charge." When you stand chin-deep in annoy- ances is the time for you to swim out ' toward the great headlands of Christian j attainment, so as to know Christ and. j the power of his resurrection, and to i have fellowship with his sufferings. j Nothing but the furnace will ever i burn out of us the clinker and the i slag. I have formed this theory in re- j gard to small annoyances and vexa- r tions. It takes just so much trouble to fit i us for usefulness and for heaven. The only question is, whether we 6hall take it In the bulk or pulverized and granu- i lated. Here is one man who takes it : in the bulk. His back is broken, or his : eyesight put out, or some other awful J 13 calamity befalls him; while the rast j majority of people take the thing piece- meal. Which way would you rather j have it? Of course in piecemeal. Bet- j ter have five aching teeth than one broken Jaw; better ten fly-blisters than ; an amputation; better twenty squalls i than one cyclone. There may be a dif ference of opinion as to allopathy and homeopathy; but in this matter of trouble I like homeopathic doses i small pellets of annoyance rather than some knock-down dose of calamity. In stead of the thunderbolt give us the hornet. If you have a bank, you would a great deal rather that fifty men would come in with checks less than a hundred dollars than to have two de- t positors come In the same day each . wanting ten thousand dollars. In this I latter ease vnn much and look down to the floor, and you look up at the celling, before you look into tho sate, Now, my friends, would you not rather have these small drafts; of annoyance on your banK of faith than some all staggering demand upon your endur ance? But remember that little as well as great annoyances equally re quire you to trunt in Christ for succor, and for deliverance from impatience and irritability. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee." In the village of Hamelin, tradition says, there was an invasion of rats, and these small creatures almost devoured the town, and theatened the lives of the population; and the story is that a piper came out one day and played a very sweet tune, and all the vermin followed hiru followed him to the banks of the Weser; then he blew a blast and then they dropped in and disappeared forever. Of course this is a fable; but I wish I could, on the sweet flute of the Gospel, draw forth all the nibbling and burrowing annoyances of your life, and play them down into the depths forever. You know that a large fortune may be spent in small change, and a vast amount of moral character may fo away in small depletions. It is the little troubles of life that are having more effect upon you than great ones. A swarm of locusts will kill a grain field sooner than the incursion of three or four cattle. You say, "Since I lost my child, since I lost my property, I have been a different man." But you do not recognize the architecture of little annoyances, that are hewing, dig gin?:, cutting, shaping, splitting and in terjoining your moral qualities. Rats may sink a ship. One lucifer match may send destruction through a block of store-houses. Catherine de Medicis got her death from smelling a poison ous rose. Columbus, by stopping and asking for a pice of bread and a drink of water at a Franciscan convent, was led to the discovery of a new world. And there is an intimate connection between trifles and immensities, be tween nothings and everything:?. Now, be careful to let none of those annoyances go through your soul un arraigned. Compel them to administer to your spiritual wealth. The scratch of a sixpenny nail sometime produces lock-jaw, and the clip of a most in finitesimal annoyance may damage you forever. Do not let any annoyance or perplexity come across your soul with out its making you better. Our Government does not think it belittling to put a tax on small articles. The individual taxes do not amount to much, but in the aggregate to millions and millions of dollars. And I would have you, oh Christian man. put a high tariff on every annoyance and vexation that comes through your soul. This might not amount to much in single cases, but in the aggregate It would be a great revenue of spiritual strength and satisfaction. A bee can suck honey even out of a nettle; and if you have the grace of God in your heart, you can get sweetness out of that which would otherwise irritate and annoy 4 Polycarp was condemned ' to be burned to death. Thft stake, was planted. II was fastened to It. The faggots were placed around him, the fires kindled, but history tells us that the flames bent outward like the can vas of a ship in a stout breeze, so that the flames, instead of destroying Poly carp. were only a wall between him and his enemies. They had actually to de stroy him with the poniard; the flames would not touch him. Well, my hear er, I want you to understand that by God's grace the flames of trial, instead of consuming your soul, are only going to be a wall of defense, and a canopy of blessing. God is going to fulfill to you the blessing and the promise, as he did to Polycarp. "When.thou walk est through the fire- thou shalt not be burned." Now you do not understand; you shall know hereafter. In heaven vou will bless God even for the hornet. Not a Horned Grinder.

Almost before they knew it frugal housewives hastened to look over their cutlery and within a short time the grinder was saying nothing but grinding hard. He must have picked up. a little fortune for his first blast and after finishing every- thing grindable in. sight he treated his customers to a parting blast and moved on. He has been there since the first visit this Italian for such he appears to be and his merry roundelay is worthy of a master of the arL New York Herald.

EFFECTS ON LABOR. GOLD STANDARD WORKING AWFUL HARDSHIPS. ; Even the Strongest labor Union Can Not Withstand the Crualiiiijr Effect of the Pro-British Financial System Strikes and Lorkoatii. In his tenth annual report, devoted to strikes and lockouts, which has just been completed, Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, computes that the loss to employes in establishments In which lockouts and strikes occurred during the thirteen and a half years ending June 30..1894, amounted to $190, 493,382, and to employers to $94,825,837. The loss to employes on account of strikes was $163,807,866, and on account of lockouts, $26,685,516; to employers on account of strikes, $82,590,386, and on account of lockouts, $12,235,451. The number of establishments In volved in strikes in this period was 69,167, and the number of persons thrown out of employment by reason of strikes, 3,714,406, making an average loss to the employes of each establish ment of $2,368, and to each person of $44. The number of establishments in volved in lockouts was 6.067, and the number of persons locked out, 366,690. These persons lost an average of $73 each. The assistance given to strikers and the subjects of lockouts during the period amounted, as far as ascertaina ble, to $13,438,704, or a little over 7 per cent of the total loss to employes. This report will cover about 1,200 pages, and gives all the information ascertainable concerning strikes and lockouts for the seven and a half years ending June 30, 1894, especially cov ered by the report. It, however, in cludes the figures given in a previous report on the same subject, closing with 1S86. The report is largely devot ed to tables showing the causes, dura tion, location and cost of these labor disturbances, and also gives many oth er facts of interest bearing upon strikes and lockouts. One of the most important tables is that given to the cause of strikes. This statement shows that more than a fourth of them were caused by a re fusal to accede to a demand for increase of wages, over 13 per cent for a refusal to concede a reduction of hours, and more than 8, per cent by the determina tion of employers to reduce wages. Three thousand six hundred and twenty, or almost 8 per cent of the strikes were caused by sympathetic ac tion with other strikes, and 1,688 were occasioned by the employment of non union men. The industries most affected by strikes In the past seven and a half years were the building trades, with 20,785 establishments involved. After these in order of importance came coal and coke, clothing, tobacco, food prep arations, stone quarrying, etc. Out of a total of 10.4SS strikes in the entire country for this period, 5,909, or to exceed 56)(iper cent, occurred In twenty-six of tn principal oitioo, while of the establishments involved In lockouts, over 61 per cent occurred In these cit ies. Fifty-nine per cent of the estab lishments engaged in strikes were closed on an average of twenty-two days, and 64 per cent of those engaged in lockouts for an average of thirty five days, the loss of time in other cases being only temporary. In each case there were a few establishments closed permanently. Success was gained by the employes In over 43 per cent of the strikes, par tial success in over 10 per cent, while the remaining 46 per cent were fail ures. Over 48 per cent of the lockouts succeeded completely, and over 10 per cent partially. The others were fail ures. In the successful strikes 669,992 persons were thrown out of employ ment. 318,801 in those partially success ful, and 1,400,988 In those which failed. Out of the total number of persons thrown out of employment by the strikes in the entire period of thirteen and a half years, 8.7S per cent were fe males, and by lockouts, 22.53. Of the 10,4S2 strikes which occurred in the seven and a half years especial ly covered by the present report, 7,295 were ordered by labor organizations, while of the 422 lockouts of this period only eighty-one were ordered by organ izations of employers. Sixty-nine per cent of all the strikes and 76 per cent of all the lockouts of the seven and half year period treated of occurred in 'he five states of Illinois, New York, I ennsylvania, Ohio, and Massachusetts, Illinois taking the lead of all states of the Union. Press Dis patch. The reader may find himself wonder ing what the subject of strikes and lock outs has to do with bimetallism. It will be remembered, though,, that Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Atkinson and gold champions generally, are endeavoring to delude the workingmen with specious statements of increased wages. They argue that the wage rate is higher than formerly, hence the gold standard is a good thing for the workingman. The foregoing synopsis of Commis sioner Wright's report shows very clearly how false and misleading a basis of computation the mere wage rate is. It is simply a waste of breath to give the "rate" of wages, unless coupled therewith is a statement of the number "of Idle men, and time lost by short hours. Moreover it will be seen that so far as wages have been upheld it has been largely through the medium of "strikes." These movements can only be made successful by the agency of labor organizations, and the wage rate has been kept up in those callings alone where laboring men have been able to combine in large numbers and present a strong front. But even in such callings It cannot be done perma nently in the face of steadily falling prices. When the price of the product continues to decline, sooner or later the wages of the workmen are certain to ha reduced. The armies of unemployed and the scattered millions of workingmen and workingwomen who have not been able to keep up their wages by organiza tion, receive no consideration whatever in the philosophy of the champions of sound (?) money. Why I Favor Free Silver. I am in favor of the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver for three reasons: 1. Silver i3 the money of the consti tution. Its demonetization in 1873 was a crime against the constitution which will cause the American people, when they fully understand this subject, to substitute the name of John Sherman for that of Benedict Arnold as a syno nym for perfidy and treachery. If we had a supreme court to-day such as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln would appoint, instead of a coterie of corporation lawyers, the act demonetiz ing silver would long ago have been declared unconstitutional and void. 2. The demonetization of silver was inspired by England and the opposition to its remonetization is now headed by the bond brokers of London and their tools in Wall street. 3. The vast majority of the American people are in favor of the remonetiza tion of silver. This has been fully dem onstrated wherever the people them selves, unhindered by office-holders and politicians, have been able to voice their opinion. , The great Napoleon saw the point when he said, after studying a set of compound interest tables: "There is one thing to my mind more wonderful than all the rest, and that is that the deadly fact involved hi those tables has not before this devoured the whole world." Respectfully, Francis J. Sohulte LOOK TO MEXICO. The "American Plan" M.ililnj a rountry Out or That Kepuhli. The United States are on the gold basis and have the single gold stand ard. Mexico is on the silver basis ana has the silver standard. What the con dition of industry r.nd trade is hen.', need not here be recited. All our read ers know the sad story. What the con dition of affairs in our neighboring re public, let the following article, clipped from the Atlanta Constitution, answer: "I returned from "Mexico a stronger silver man than ever." said Mr. S. A. Inman. "I took things leisurely, very carefully observing business and indus trial conditions. I find that Mexico has prospered during the past two years, when business conditions in our coun try have been actually going backward. Cotton in Mexico is selling at 1G2 cents a pound in silver, which is equal to SV4 cents in our money. I paid $7.50 in sil ver for a suite of rooms which in this country would have cost $10 in gold. A suit of clothes, a pair of gloves, a hat or any item of domestic necessity sells in Mexico for approximately the same amount of silver that we are required to pay here in gold: in other words, about half as cheap. "This establishes very clearly in my mind the absurdity of the argument about a depreciating currency. A sil ver dollar in Mexico will do what is done by a gold dollar in this country, and it has been the appreciation of gold and not the depreciation of silver which has brought, about the disparity. I found the factories running on full time, and a cotton factory at Orizaba, cap italized at $2,500,000. was paying from 20 to 25 per cent dividends. The peo ple are contented and prosperous and have not suffered from the general de pression during the past few years. The truth of the matter is the silver curren cy of Mexico has acted as a splendid protection measure against outside de pression, and, as it has resulted in Mex ico, so it would in our own country, if we would imitate the example of Mex ico in this respect, and throw ourselves upon our own resources." Let the reader, especially if he be lieves in protection, consider well the last sentence in the above extract "the silver currency of Mexico has acted as a splendid protective measure against outside depression." What free coin age has and is doing for Mexico, it will, in a measure, do for us. While giving our people better prices for their products, and the laborer better wages and more steady employment, would prove a far more effective protective measure than any that has yet passed or is likely tJ pass congress. As corroborative of the above, the following telegram from the City of Mexico October I. published in the Ore gonian of the 5th, is interesting and suggestive: The marvelous growth of Mexico's commerce is attributed by the Mexican Herald to the country's being cn a silver basis, which acts as a stimulus to every industry, and is leading to the establishment of new manufactures each week, among others being a grand paper mill projected by Americans.also woolen and cotton mills, etc. Salem (Or.) Post. Here's Logic for You. It is amusing to compare the ante election and post-election editorials of the goldite press. On Oct. 9 the At lanta Journal (Hoke Smith's paper) gloatingly remarked that silver had heen repudiated this year hy every Democratic state convention but one Mississippi. On November & the same paper said that free coinage lunacy had defeated the Democratic party in every state but Mississippi. There is logic for you with a vengeance, gentlemen. Mississippi, the only state in which the party came out unequivocally for 10 to l.stands alone in the Democratic column and with 50,000 majority at that. Yet they tell us that the silver cause is dead. The corpse is laughing at the wakers. VERITAS. Silver Cause Very Maori Alive.
