agree in saying
that the leopard
mentioned in the Bible meant (?re
cia, and the bear meant Medo-Per-aia,
and the lion meant Babylon, and
the beast of the text coming up out
o! the earth with two horns like a lamb
and the voice of a dragon means our
country, because among other reasons
It seemed to come up out of the earth
when Columbus discovered it, and it
has been for the most part at peace like
a lamb, unless assaulted by foreign foe,
in which case it has had two horns
strong and sharp, and the voice of a
dragon loud enough to make all
nations hear the roar of its
Indignation. Is it reasonable to sup
pose that God would leave out from
tfce prophecies of His Book this whole
"Wfftern Hemisphere? No, no. "I be
held another beast coming up out of
the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
I t-tart with the cheering thought
that the most popular book on earth
today is the Bible, the most popular
institution on earth today is the church,
and the most popular name on earth to
day is Jesus. Right from this audience
hundreds of men and women would, if
need be, march out and die for Him.
Am I too confident in saying "Ameri
ca for God?" If the Lord will help me
I will show the strength and extent of
the long line of fortresses to be taken,
atfd give you my reasons for saying It
can be done and will be done. Let us
decide, in this battle for God, whether
we are at Bull Run or at Gettysburg.
There is a Fourth of Julyish way of
bragging about this country, and the
most tired and plucked bird that ever
flew through the heavens is the Ameri
can e-gle, so much so that Mr. Glad
atone said to me facetiously, at Hawar
5n: "1 hear that the fish in your
American lakes are so large that when
one of them is taken out the entire lake
Is perceptibly lower," and at a dinner
given in Paris an American offered for
a sentiment: "Here is to the United
States bounded on the north by the
aurora borealis, on the south by the
procession of the equinoxes, on the east
by the primeval chaos, and on the west
by the Day of Judgment." The effect
of such grandiloquence is to discredit
the real facts, which are so tremendous
they need no garnishing. The worst
thing to do in any campaign, military
or religious, is to under-estimate an
enemy, and I will have no part in such
attempt at belittlement.
This land to be taken for God, ac
cording to Hassel, the statistician, has
fourteen million two hundred and nine
teen thousand nine hundred and sixty
seven square miles, a width and a
length that none but the Omniscient
can appreciate. Four Europe3 put to
gether, and capable of holding and feed
ing, as It will hold and feed.according to
Atkinson, the statistician. If the world
continues in existence and does not run
afoul of some other world or get con
sumed by the fires already burning in
th cellars of the planet capable, I say,
of holding and feeiing more than one
"billion of inhabitants. For you must
remember It must be held for God as
well as taken for God, and the last five
hundred million inhabitants must not
"be allowed to swamp the religion of the
ilrst five hundred million. Not much
use in taking the fortress if we cannot
hold it. It must be held until the arch
angel's trumpet bids living and dead
arise from this foundering planet.
You must remember it is only about
seven o'clock in the morning of our
nation's life. Great cities are to flash
and roar among what are called the
"Bad Lands" of the Dakotas and the
great "Columbia Plains" of Washing
ton state, and that on which we put
our school-boy fingers on the map and
spelled out as the "Great American
Desert," is, through systematic and
consummating irrigation, to bloom like
Chatsworth Park and be made more
productive than those regions depend
ent upon uncertain and spasmodic rain
fall. All those regions, as well as those
regions already cultivated, to be in
habited! That was a sublime thing
said by Henry Clay, while crossipg the
Allegheny mountains, and he was wait
ing for the stage horses to be rested, as
he Etood on a rock, arms folded, looking
off into the valley, and some one said
to him, "Mr. Clay, what are you think
ing about?" He replied, "I am listen
ing to the on-coming tramp of the fu
ture generation of America." Have you
laid our home missionary scheme on
such an Infinitude of scale? If the work
of bringing one soul to God is so great,
can a thousand million be captured?
In this country, already planted and to
be overcome, Paganism has built its
altar to Brahma, and the Chinese are
already burning incense in their tem
ples, and Mohammedanism, drunk in
other days with the red wine of human
blood at Lucknow and Cawnpore, and
now fresh from the diabolism in Ar--menia,

and from the minarets of her mosques

Then there is what in America we
call Socialism, in France Communism,
and in Russia Nihilism the three
names for one and the same thing and
having but two doctrines in its creed:
First, there is no God. Second, there
shall be no rights of property. One of
their chief journals printed thi3 senti
ment: "Dynamite can be made out of
the dead bodies of capitalists as well
as out of hogs." One of the leaders of
Communism left inscribed on his prison
wall, where he had been Justly incar
cerated, these words: "When once you
are dead, there is an end of everything;
therefore, ye scoundrels, grab whatever
you can only don't let yourselves be
grabbed. Amen!" There are in this
country hundreds of thousands of these j
lazy scoundrels. Honest men deplore
it when they cannot get work, but those
of whom I speak will not do work when
they can get it. I tried to employ one :
who asked me for money. I said, "Down
in my cellar I have some wood to saw,
and I will pay you for it." For a little
while I heard the saw going, and then
I heard it no more. I went downstairs,
and found the wood, but the workman j
had disappeared, taking for company (
both buck and saw.
Socialism, Communism and Nihilism
mean, "Too wicked to acknowledge
God, and too lazy to earn a living," and
among the mightiest obstacles to be :
overcome are those organized elements
of domestic, social and political ruin.
There also are the fastnesses of in
fidelity, and atheism, and fraud, and
political corruption, and multiform,
hydra-headed, million-armed abomina
tions all over the land. While the
mightiest agencies for righteousness on
earth are good and healthful news

name more than one-half the battle

the redoubts, the fortifications to be
stormed and overcome if this country
is ever taken for God. The statistics
are so awful that if we had nothing but
the multiplication table and the arith
metic, the attempt to evangelize Ameri
ca would be an absurdity higher than
the Tower of Babel before it dropped

are the guns of large enough calibre

around and see, the first of all, who is
our leader and who will be our leader
until the work is done? Garibaldi,
with a thousand Italians, could do more
than another commander with ten
thousand Italians. General Sherman,

the other, each with ten thousand

SILVER IS THE ISSUE.
TARIFF WILL CUT NO FIGURE
IN THE CAMPAIGN.

Day by day it becomes clearer that
the great issue of 1896 will be, whether
the American people shall return to
the honest money of the constitution,
by the complete restoration of silver,
or permit themselves to be dragged to
their death and destruction at the
wheels of England's golden chariot.
That is the Issue and there is no
blinking it. The senseless drivel about
"50-cent dollars," and "honest money,"
presents an issue that is absolutely
false, and if the people will study the
question a little they will see it.
There is no question of a "fifty-cent
dollar" involved. It is a one-hundred
cent dollar or a "two-hundred-cent dol
lar," which the gold dollar actually is.
The republican convention goes to
St. Louis. In that convention there will
be a tremendous struggle over the
money plank. The extreme silver men
will have nothing less than free coin
age at 1G to 1. Unless they get it, there
will doubtless be several spokes
knocked out of the republican wheel
then and there.
The democratic convention comes to
Chicago, but no one looks for a repre
sentative convention. Two-thirds of
the democratic party are for free coin
age. If the administration and the
money power together do not capture
the convention it will certainly be a
grand triumph for the people.
If the sentiments of the rank and file
of the party do not find expression both
In the platform and the candidates,
there will not only be some spokes
knocked out of the democratic wheel,
but the hub will go too. That is. these
things will take place if silver demo
crats are true to their principles, as we
believe they are.
Then the populist party Is looming up
as an unquestioned power in American
politics. In the creed of this organiza
tion there is much that is good, and
it has in its ranks some very able and
admirable men.
The more conservative of its ele
ments understand that they cannot ex
pect to win in the near future on all of
their issues. In order to win at all, they
must plant themselves on middle
ground, where the dissatisfied elements
of other parties can meet them.
Should they conclude to make bimetal
lism the paramount Issue, It may learl
to combinations that will revolution
ize the country.
On the 22d instant a conference of
leading men was held in Washing
ton for the purpose of outlining a pol
icy. This conference was composed
of men from all parties and all sections,
and was a fair representation of the
average silver sentiment of the coun
try. The national executive committee of
the populist party has appointed a com
mittee to confer with the American
Bimetallic Union at Washington.
Thus events thicken and the tide of
silver sentiment rolls on.
The campaign of 1S9G bids fair to be
the most momentous and exciting of
any since the close of the war, and the
"ghost" of free silver, of which we have
heard so much, will be the grand cen
tral figure of the play.
CLOSING OF INDIAN MINT.
Jt Was Part of the Conspiracy
to Kol
American Producer.
A correspondent writes from Ga
lena, 111., as follows: Hon. H. F. Bar
tine, Chicago, 111. My Dear Sir: In
your reply to Mr. T. E. Diamond in The
Bimetallist of Feb. 5, you gave two very
strong reasons why certain classes In
England were interested in the further
separation of the standards of value in
India and England, but overlooked an
other very strong reason. England's
Interests are three agricultural, finan
cial and manufacturing, its commercial
being well included within the latter.
The fall in the gold value of an India
rupee had already seriously affected
English manufacturing by discouraging
commerce between the countries owing
to the fluctuating of exchange and a
gradual rise of the same. This stimu
lated domestic industry in India to the
detriment of Birmingham and other
centers of activity in England.
While the money power controls Eng
land's policy, when its interest is at all
menaced, England's official ear be
comes very sensitive to the protest of
her other interests. With the English
land owner, the money loaner and the
manufacturer all demanding a common
sacrifice from the British dependency,
it was granted with alacrity that a fur
ther vantage be not granted to the
India farmer, that the money loaners
tribute be not endangered and that the
English factory be not put to a further
disadvantage.
If every intelligent voter in the Un
ion could read the Bimetallist from now
until election the fate of financial
emancipation would be in no doubt. In
ignorance of finance Ue3 gold's great
hope. Respectfully,
M. H. CLEARY.
Mr. Cleary is right in saying that the
English manufacturers were being in
jured by the competition of East Indian
factories, but he is mistaken in think
ing that the mint of India was closed on
that account.
The suspension of coinage on public
account in India was the act of the East
Indian government itself, permission of
the British ministry having first been
obtained. In doing this, the Indian
government was seeking to save itself
from the disastrous consequences of a
further and heavy decline in the gold
value of the rupee. The government
of that country would scarcely go de-
liberately at work to protect the Man
chester factory at the expense of those
In Calcutta and Bombay.
The English government of India is
very strongly In favor of bimetallism,
and some of the ablest bimetallists In
the world are. or have been, members of
that government. What they wanted
was the restoration of silver, not its ex
clusion from the mint. The closing of
the mint was not a policy of desire, but,
as expressed by President Andrews,
one of "despair." National Bimetal-list.
GO A LITTLE SLOW-
Silver the Only Qiiettiiui on Which
Patriots of America Are l iiitel.
Editor The National Bimetallist: 1
am glad that the great "rank and file"
of the two old parties refuse to longer
ba "nosed" about by the leaders that
are responsible for the awful conditions
that now prevail, have taken the ini
tiative step to ally themselves with
the party that has already "declared"
itself on the question that so vitally
affects us all, and called a representa
tive meeting of the bimetallists of the
nation to meet at St. Louis at the time
of the convening of the People's party
in national convention. That Is a step
in the right direction. Neither of the
old parties will offer, either in plat
form or as a candidate for the presi
dency, anything looking toward tha
"free and unlimited coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 to 1," independent of any
otner government intervention. If such
a thing should happen the "money
power" would defeat such a party at
the polls, for they have the machinery
and can do it. But if all the reform
foires can and will unite at St. Louis
upon a common platform, with a presi
dential candidate who will stand upon
the platform with both feet, declaring
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at a ratio that it enjoyed prior
ti 1S73. and then add the "initiative,"
the "referendum" and the "imperative
mandate" planks, such a party could
and would sweep the country, electing
a president and a majority of both
houses of congress. With such a plat
form the issue between the monometal
lists and bimetallists would be square
ly made, and the Populists and Prohi
bitionists would. In the end. gain all
they are now demanding, and the "peo
ple" would rule; for if any representa
tive dared to be recreant to the trust
reposed in him. he would be callel
home and an honest man placed in
congress who would do the will of the
people. With the "initiative" in the
hands of the people, prohibition would
follow and the saloon that has been
such an awful curse, would be eliminat
ed from the nation; railroads, tele
graphs, telephones and express com
panies would soon come under either
government ownership or control, and
the land question equitably settled.
And not only that, but the government
would issue all the money and the peo
ple control it, instead of its being is
sued by private corporations and con
trolled by them for their private inter
ests as now. In that manner we would
soon have an ideal republic as intended
by our forefathers by and through the
constitution, Instead of a plutocracy as
now exists.
There is not a government on the taoe
of the earth excepting, possibly, Rus
sia that is worse governed than tho
United States; and yet no nation, like
ours, has the semblance of being gov
erned "by the people." If the dear,
good people will now. in this year. lay
aside their party prejudices and vote
awhile for their own interests, and all
stand together as one man at the polls,
the difficulty can and will be soon set
tled. Yours for reform.
CHARLES HOWELLL
Our correspondent is all right on the
main idea the necessity for united ac
tion. He makes one mistake though
that of expecting too much.
There are at least ten million voters
in the United States who do not even
know what the "initiative," the "refer
endum" and the "imperative", mean as
these terms are used in our politics!
Where they are understood there are
wide differences of opinion concerning
their merits. National Bimetallist.
Trade Itepurt.
Trade reports from the commercial
centers always have prosperity just, "a
coming," but halting on the way be
cause of the silver spectre ahead. When
the country was thrown into a panic
in order to force the repeal of the Sher
man law, we were to have prosperity
at once, after it was repealed. It didn't
come.
Before the elections of last year we
were most positively assured that the
business stagnation was owing to the
"craze for free silver." and that the
triumph of "sound money" at the polls
would bring a flood tide of prosperity.
"Sound money" won. but the prosperity
failed to materialize.
We have been plunged $162,000,000
more deeply Into debt, and stili pros
perity is away off in the dim distance.
But it Is aiwavs in sight, and it is only
necessary to give Wall street the legis
lation it demands, to bring it to every
poor man's door.
Destroy $500,000,000 of our currency
and add $500,000,000 to our interest
bearing debt, and we will be happy
according to the Wall street idea.
