v i z : Business
Troubles , " the text
oc selected being Eze-
lr1e127:24 : "These
were thy merchants
In all sorts of things. "
We are at the opening door of returning -
turning national prosperity. The com-
! fig crops , the re-establishment of pub-
tlfi confidence , and , above all , the bless-
4ng of God , will turn in upon all sections
of America the widest , greatest
-
, this country has even seen , But
, that door of successes is not yet fully
, open , and thousands of business men
lore yet suffering from the distressing
Mimes through which we have been
Ipassing.
Some of the best men in the land have
faltered ; men whose hearts are en-
aisted In every good work , and whose
thands have blessed every great char-
laty. The Church of God can afford to
extend to them her sympathies , and
iplead before heaven with all-availing
] prayer. The schools such men have es-
ltablished , the churches they have built ,
the asylums and beneficent institutions
they have fostered , will be their eulogy -
gy long after their banking institutions
are forgotten. Such men can never
fail. They have their treasures in banks
that never break , and will be millionaires -
aires forever. But I thought it would
be appropriate , to-day , and useful , for
me to talk about the trials and temptations -
tions of our business men , and try to
offer some curative prescriptions.
In the first place , I have to remark
that a great many of our business men
feel ruinous trials and temptations
coming to them from small and limited
capilai in business. It is everywhere
lundcrstood that it takes now three or
tour limes as much to do business well i
Ias once it did. Once , a few hundred
dollars were turned into goods-the
merchant would be his own store-
sweeper , his own salesman , his own
bookkeeper ; he would manage all the
Ftffairs himself , and everything would
, be net profit. Wonderful changes have
come ; costly apparatus. extensive ad-
vertlsbng , exorbitant store rents , heavy
ltaxatlon , expensive agencies are only
parts of the demand made upon our
'ommircial men ; and when they have
found themselves in such circum-
tances with small capital , they have
sometimes been tempted to run against
thc rocks of moral and financial de-
Struction. This temptation of limited
capital has ruined men in two ways.
Sometihtes they have shrunk down un-
iIer ! the temptation. They have yielded
the battle before the first shot was I
fired. At the first hard dun they sur-
rendered. Their knees knocked together -
gether at the fall of the auctioneer's
hammer. They blanched at the finan- I
dial peril. They did not understand j
ghat there is such a thing as heroism
: n merchandise , and that there are
Waterloos of the counter , and that a ,
man can fight no braver battle with
] the swo-i than he can with the yard-
'stick. .near souls melted in them because -
cause sugars were up when they
wanted to buy , and down when they
wanted to sell , and unsaleable goods
were on the shtlf , and bad debts in
their ledger. The gloom of their
- l
goods and groceries. Despondency ,
f coming from limited capital , blasted
, them. Others have felt it in a different -
ent way. They have said : "Here I have
been trudging along. I have been trying -
ing to he honest all these years. I
find it is of no use. Now it is make or
break. " The small craft that could
have stood the stream , is put out beyond - I
yond the light-house , on the great sea I
of speculation. He borrows a few thou- i
sand dollars from friends , wlto dare i
riot refuse him , and he goes bartering
on a large scale. He reasons in this
way : "Perhaps. I may succeed , and if
: don't I will be no worse off than I f
am now , for a hundred thousand dollars -
lars taken from nothing , nothing re-
mains. " Stocks are the dice with which
ire gambles. He b' ght for a few dollars -
lars vast tracts of western land. Some i
man at the East , living on a fat homestead -
stead , meets this gambler of fortune ,
and is persuaded to trade off his estate -
tate , for lots in a western city with
large avenues , and costly palaces , and
'lake steamers smoking at the wharves ,
and rail-trains coming down with
lightning speed from every direction.
there it is all on paper ! The city has
never been built , nor the railroads constructed - i
structed , but everything points that
way , and the thing will be done as sure r
as you live. W"II , the man goes on ,
stopping at no fraud of outrage. In
ails splendid equipage he dashes past , !
while the honest laborer looks up , and
wipes the sweat from his brow , and
says , "I wonder where that man got ,
all his money. " After awhile the bubble -
ble bursts. Creditors rush in. The law
clutches but finds nothing in its grasp.
The me i who were swindled say : "I
dont' know how I could have ever
been deceived by that man ; " and the
pictorials , in handsome wood-cuts , set
forth the hero who in ten years lad
genius enough to fail for $150,900 ! I
I
And that is the process by which
many have been tempted through limb-
tation of capital , to rush into labyrinths -
rinths from winch they could not be ex-
. I would not want .o block'
up any of the avenues for honest accumulation -
mulation that open before young men.
On the contrary , I would like to cheer
them on , and rejoice when they reach
the goal ; but when there are such multitudes -
titudes of men going to ruin for this
life and the life that is.to come , through
wrong notions of what are lawful
spheres of enterprise , it is the duty of
the Church of God , and the ministers
of religion , and the friends of all
young men , to utter a plain , emphatic.
unmistakable protest. These are the
Influences that drown men in destruction -
tion and perdbtion.
Again : a great many of our business
men are tempted to over-anxiety and
care. You know that nearly all corn-
, f , mercial businesses are overdone in this
p day. Smitten with the Save. of quick
r
„
, _ . _
r
gain , our cities are crowded with men
resolved to be rich at all hazards.
They do not ca-e how money comes , if
it only comes. Our best merchants are
thrown into competition with men of
more means and less conscience , and it
an opportunity of accumulation be neglected -
lected one hour , some one else picks it
up , From January to December the
struggle goes on. Night gives no quiet
to limbs tossing in restlessnes , nor to a
brain that will not stop thinking. The
dreams are harrowed by imaginary
loss , and flushed with imaginary gains.
Even the Sabbath cannot dam back the
tide of anxiety ; for. this wave of worldliness -
liness dashes clear over the churches ,
and leaves its foam on Bibles and
prayer-books. Men who are living on
salaries , or by the cultivation of the
soil , cannot understand the wear and
tear of the body and mind to which. our
merchants are subjected , when they do
not know but that their livelihood and
their business honor are dependent
upon the uncertainties of the next hour.
This excitement of the brain , this corroding -
roding care of the heart , this strain
of effort that exhausts the spirit , sends
a great many of our best men , in middle -
dle life , into the grave. Their life
dashed out against money safes. They
go with their store on their backs.
They trudge like camels , sweating , from
Aleppo to Damascus. They make their
life a crucifixion. Standing behind
desks and counters , banished from the
fresh air , weighed down by carking
cares , they are so many suicides. Oh ! I
wish I could , to-day , rub out some of
these lines of care ; that I could lift
some of the burdens from the heart ;
that I could give relaxation to some of
these worn mus les. It is time for you
to begin to take It a little easier. Do
your best , and then trust God for the
rest. No not fret. God manages all
the affairs of your life , and he manages -
ages them for the best. Consider the
lilies-they always have robes. Behold -
hold the fowls of the air-they always
have nests. Take a long breath. Bethink -
think , betimes , that God did not make
you for a pack-horse. Dig yourselves
out from among the hogsheads and the
shelves , and in the light of the holy
Sabbath day resolve that you will give
to the winds your fears , and your fretfulness -
fulness , and your distresses. You
brought nothing into the world , and
it is very certain you can carry nothIng -
Ing out. Having food and raiment , be
therewith content. The merchant
came home from the store. There had
been a great disaster there. He opened
the front door , and said , in the midst
of his family circle : "I am ruined.
Everything is gone. I am all ruined. "
His wife said : "I am left ; " and the
little child threw up its hands and said :
"Papa , I am here. " The aged grandmother -
mother , seated in the room , said : "Then
you have all the promises of God beside -
side , John. " And he burst into tears ,
and said : "God forgive me , that I have
been so ungrateful. I find I have a
great many things left. God forgive
me. "
Again , I remark , that many of our
business men are tempted to neglect
their home duties. How often it is that
the store and the home seem to clash ,
but there ought not to be any collbosion.
It is often the case that the father is
the mere treasurer of the family , a
sort of agent to see that theyy have dry
goods and groceries. The work of family -
ily government he does not touch. Once
or twice a year he calls the children up
on a Sabbath afternoon , when he has a
half hour he does not exactly know
what to do with , and in that half hour
he disciplines the children , and chides
them and corrects theirr faults , and
gives them a great deal of good advice ,
and then wonders all the rest of the
year that his children do not do better ,
when they have the wonderful advantage -
tage of that semi-annual castigation.
The family table , which ought to be
the place for pleasant discussion and
cheerfulness , often becomes the place of
perilous expedition. If there be any
blessing asked at all , it is cut off at both
ends and with the hand on the carving -
ing knife. He counts on his fingers ,
making estimates in the interstices of
the repast. The work done , the hat
goes to the head and he starts down the
street , and before the family have
arisen from the table he has bound up
another bundle of goods and says to
the customer. "Anything more I can 1
for you today , sir ? " A man has more
responsibilities than those which are
charged by putting competent Instructors -
ors over his children and giving them a
drawing master and a music teacher.
The physical culture of the child will
not be attended to unless the father
looks to it. He must sometimes lose
his dignity. He must unlimber his
joints. He must sometimes lead theni
out to their sports and games. The
parent who cannot forget the severe
duties of life sometimes to fly the kite ,
and trundle the hoop , and chase the
ball , and jump the rope with his children -
dren ought never to have been tempted
out of a crusty and unredeemable sol-
tariness. If you want to keep your
children away from places of sin you
can only do it by making your home
attractive. You may preach sermons ,
and advocate reforms , and denounce
wickedness , and yet your children will
be captivated by the glittering saloon
of sin u'iless you can make your home
a brighter place than any other place
on earth to them. Oh ! gather all
charms into your house. If you can
afford it bring books , and pictures , and
cheerful entertainments to the house-
hold. But , above all , teach those children -
dren , not by half an hour twice a year
on the Sabbath day , but day after day ,
and every day teach them that religion
is a great gladness ; that it throws
chains of gold about the neck ; that it
takes no spring from the foot , no blitheness -
ness from the heart , no sparkle from
the eye , no ring from the laughter , but
that "her ways are ways of pleasantness -
ness , and all her paths are peace. " I
sympathize with the work being done
in many of our cities by which beautiful -
ful rooms are set apart by our Young i
Men's Christian associations , and I
pray God to prosper them in all things.
But I tell you there is something back i
of that and before that : We need more
happy , consecrated , cheerful Christian
homes everywhere.
Again'I remark that a great many
of our business men are tempted to put
the attainment of money above the
value of the soul. It is a grand thing
to have plenty of money. The more you
get of it the better , if it come honestly -
ly and go usefully. For the lack of it i
sickness dies without medicine and
hunger finds its coffin In the empty
bread tray , and nakedness shivers for
lack of clothes and fire. When I hear
a man in canting tirade against money
-a Christian man-as though It had no
possible use on earth and he had no
interest in it at all , I come almost to
think that the heaven that would be ap.
propriate for him would be an everlasting -
lasting poorhouse. While , my friends ,
we do admit there is such a thing aA
the lawful use of money-a profitable
use of money-let us recognize also the
fact that money cannot satisfy a man's
soul , that it cannot glitter in the dark
valley , that it cannot pay our fares
across the Jordan of death , that it cannot -
not unlock the gate of heaven. There
are men in all occupations who seem
to act as though they thought that a
pack of boflds and mortgages could be
traded off for a title to heaven , and as
though gold would be a lawful tender
In that place where It is so common that
they make pavements out of it. Salvation -
vation by Christ is the only salvation.
Treasures in heaven are the only incorruptible -
corruptible treasures.
Have you ever ciphered out in the
rule of loss and gain the sum : "What
shall it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his soul ? " However fine
your apparel , the winds of death will
flutter it like rags. Homespun and a
threadbare coat have sometimes been
the shadow of coming robes made white
in the blood of the lamb. The pearl of
great price s worth more than any
gem you can bring from the ocean , than
Australian or Brazilian mines strung
in one carcanet. Seek after God ; find
his righteousness and all shall be well ;
all shall be well hereafter.
Some of you remember the shipwreck
of the "Central America. " That noble
steamer had , I think , about 500 passen
gers aboard. Suddenly the storm came
and the surges trampled the decks and
swung into the hatches and there went
up a hundred-voiced death shriek. The
foam on the jaw of the wave. The
pitching of the steamer as though it
were leaping a mountain. The dismal
flare of the signal rockets. The long
cough of the steam pipes. The hiss of
extinguished furnaces. The walking
of God on the waves ! The steamer
went not down without a struggle. As
the passengers stationed themselves in
rows to bale out the vessel hark to the
thump of the buckets , as men unused
to toil , with blistered hands and
strained muscle , tug for their lives.
Ther is a sail seen against the sky.
The flash of the distress gun is noticed -
ticed , its voice heard not for it is
choked In the louder booming of the
sea. A few passengers escaped , but
the steamer gave on great lurch and
was gone' ! So there are some men who
sail on prosperously In life , All's well ;
all's well. But at last , some financial
disaster comes ; a euroclydon. Down
they go ! the bottom of the commercial
sea is strewn with shattered hulks. But
because your property goes do not let
your soul go. Though all else perish
save that , for I have to tell you of a
more stupendous shipwreck than that
which I just mentioned. God launched
this world six thousand years ago. It
has been going on under freight of
mountains and immortals , but one day
it will stagger at the cry of fire. The
timbers of rock will burn , the mountains -
tains flame like masts , and the clouds
like sails in the judgment hurricane.
Then God shall take the passengers off
the deck , and from the berths those
.who have long been asleep in Jesus and
he will set them far beyond the reach
of storm and peril. But how many
shall go down will never be known
until it shall be announced one day in
heaven ; the shipwreck of the world !
So many millions saved ! Oh ! my dear
hearers , whatever you lose , though
your houses go , though your lands go ,
though all your earthly possessions
perish , may God Almighty , through the
blood of the everlasting covenant , save
air your souls.
Individual Communion Cups.
The Congregationalist publishes the
following opinion of a physician as to
the use of the individual cup at the communion -
munion service : Not one of the authors
of 'this movement , so far as I have
been able to ascertain , has made any
painstaking research to justify the unwarranted -
warranted conclusions arrived at ; on
the other hand , years ago , at considerable -
able trouble and expense , I sought information -
formation from the most distinguished
medical men in the world on this sub-
ject. From that time until this no medical -
ical man has ever been able , to my
knowledge , to produce one solitary case
where participation in the sacred ceremony -
mony of holy communion has been the
cause of disease.
I think , therefore , it is safe to assume
that , with the many interesting and
valuable investigations still undetermined -
mined , medical men had better seek
some other source as the cause of in'
fection from disease.
Attractive Religion.
Is your religion winsome ? Does It
charm and attract ? Does it show itself
in a pleasant face , a cheerful smile ,
gentle tones , courteous manners ? Is it
kindly and thoughtful for the comfort
of others , willing to serve , slow to push
personal claims , quick to sympathize
and help ? Or is it sour and hard , grim
and frowning , dominated by pettyy gossip -
sip and jealousies , self-asserting and
domineering-driving away more than
it draws ? Look into this matter. Carefully -
fully consider this question. See whether -
er or not you are properly representing
Christ.
Let LTs Soap This Is So.
Even common washing soap may have
a romane connected with it. A girl in
a Cincinnati soap factory put a note
within the wrapper of a bar of soap as
follows : "I would like to get married.
Kindly address Cora Lauxtermann ,
Ludlow Grove , Ohio. " The fateful bar
was bought by C. D. Washburn , a railroad -
road man of Susquehanna , and an item
in Friday's Cincinnati papers was headed -
ed "Washburn-Lauxtermann. "
The Christian Character.
Every honest prayer breathed , every
cross carried , every trial endured ,
every good work for our fellow men
lovingly done , every little act corr
scientiously performed for Christ's
glory , helps to make the Christian char
acter beautiful and to load its broait
boughs with "apples of gold" for God' :
"baskets of silver. "

GRAND OLD PART
THE AMERICAN POLICY IS AL
WAYS THE B ST.
The South Is Especially Interested In
the Cause of Protoction-Why British
Potters Are Pleased-What Leading
Papers Have to Say.
The American Economist : The discussion -
cussion in Cohgress on the first tariff
act-that of 1789-clearly shows that
the framers of that act , soue of whom
sat in the convention which drafted
the Constitution , regarded no interest
of greater importance than that of agri-
culture. The South is especially interested -
terested in that feature of protection ,
because her sugar , rice , tobacco and
cotton , her four great staples , stand in
greater peril to-day than at any epoch
in our history , and all because the
cordon of foreign cheap labor and competition -
petition is being drawn around these
products closer and closer.
Old prejudices should give away to
concrete facts , The South , with a new
generation of men , looking anxiously
and hopefully forward to better days ,
when there shall be more capital and
consequently more business and less
"politics" ther , Is entitled to all the
light on the subject of protection that
It can get.
The scars incident to the war between -
tween the states have healed , the last
vestige of reconstruction-exemplified
in the Federal Election or so-called
Force bill-has passed away , the feeling -
ing engendered between those who
were active participants in the greatest
struggle the world ever saw are being
cemented into ties of fraternal friendship -
ship , and new business relationships
are rapidly forming based on the confidence -
fidence which capital requires and
slowly imbibes. A new blood and a
new life agitates the South , which sees
an example in the North of what the
protective policy can do as against foreign -
eign rivals and for those who have too
long resisted the march of progress and
prosperity.
But one thing remains for the South
to do. It must unhorse free-trade and
enter the fight for the regeneration of
that section under the old Whig banner
and the great principle of protection
for home industries-protection for
agriculture , for the raw materials
grown on our own'soil which enter into
our manufactured products. That sentiment -
timent once dominated the South , and ,
while slavery drove it into seclusion in
1849 and 1850 and almost out of mind ,
history has preserved the record of the
fact. No section of the country has a
more glorious climate , none more important -
portant agricultural products-includ-
ing cotton , rice , sugar and tobacco-
none is richer in lumber and wood , in
mineral resources , water power and
energy than the South.
In adapting itself to new conditions ,
in seeking to attain the full measure
of benefit to be derived from production -
tion , old theories must be cast aside
and practical views must be accepted
The South cannot hope for success by
shaping its legislation nor by sending
men to Congress to clog and hamper
the march of her productive development -
ment and industrial progress with a
political theory that is sure to poison
the patient , paralyze its energies and
seriously retard its prosperity. A
"Tariff for revenue only" takes no account -
count whatever of our business relations -
tions as they may be injuriously affected -
fected by foreign rival who seek to
control our home market. The future
of Southern agriculture , commerce and
manufacturing industry depends upon
that other policy which can most readily -
ily be explained in these words : Stand
up for America ! Protection for home
industries against the world.
The Revival and Its Converts.
It is undoubtedly true that business
Is ooking up all over the country. Tone
no one will this be such good news as
to the believers in a protective tariff.
The great object of the tariff is to keep
business humming and wages high ,
and everything tending to such a condition -
dition of affairs is welcomed with an
enthusiasm proportionate to the
strength of the movement.
But the attitude of the free trade
and tariff reform newspapers at this
time is veryy funny. Every opening up
of a closed factory is greeted with an
enthusiasm not evoked by the hundreds
of factories which were built and
opened for the first time under the
beneficent effects of the McKinleyy bill.
Every increase of 10 per cent in wages
is heralded far and wide , in striking
contrast to the silence with which they
have greeted every cut of 25 per cent
in wages made during the last two
years. These tariff reform newspapers
affect to believe that protectionists will
be sorry to see any revival of business
while a tariff reform president sits in
the White House. We would assure 1
them that every protectionist rejoices
at any improvement of business con-
ditions. We would , however , like to
have these papers give us some specific -
fic reasons for this revival of business.
Is it because there is a tariff reform
president at Washington ? Business
was all right before that tariff reform
president was elected. There was no
need of revival of business then , and a I
revival has come only after two years ]
of stagnation which followed the election -
tion of that president.
We are willing to assist these tariff
reformers in their attempts to discover
the specific reason of the revival of
business and we would respectfully call
their attention to the fact that there'
were some elections held last Novem-
ber. We would further remind them
that by those elections congress was
placed in control of the partyy pledged
to put an end to tariff reform. Not to
tariff reform , but to the hope of a return -
turn to protection , based on the republican -
publican victoryy of last November , is ,
r.-- . - , . . .

due thIs revival of business. We
welcome our free-trade friends as converts -
verts to the cause of protection.-

Why British Potters % ro I'icased.
It is no secret that the American pot.
tery industry Is not in a properous
condition. It has suffered and Is suffering -
fering still from the general depression -
sion , but there is an additional and
specific reason for its troubles. We
do not have to go far to seek this rea-
son. It is very well formulated by the
London Pottery Gazette , the leading
pottery publication of Great Britain ,
in its issue of May 1 , 1895 :
"It is very satisfactory to note that
our pottery and glass trade with the
United States has of late shaven a
marked increase. A reference to the
returns published monthly In the Pottery -
tery Gazette will at once prove how
considerable has been this increase.
For the first quarter of this year , and
ending with March 31 , the total exports -
ports of crockery reached a value of
223,355. A comparison with other
years for the corresponding quarter is
most instructive.

"We believe that succeeding parts of
the year will show an even greater In-
crease. "
Every American will agree with this
British pottery authority that the comparison -
parison is most "instructive , " also that
from the British point of view it must
be very satisfactroy. It tells a story of
increasing sales of British pottery to
this country , an increase of more than
100 per cent in 1895 as compared with
1894. But here the figures do not tell
all. For seven months of 1894 , in consequence -
sequence of a strike , scarcely any pottery -
tery was made in this country and the
British product supplied the shortage.
The early result under the Wilson
tariff justifies the Pottery Gazette's belief -
lief that "succeeding parts of the year
will show an even greater increase. "
At whose cost will this greater increase -
crease be ? At the cost of the labor
and the capital engaged in the industry
and of the country. Wheeling will
pay some of it in a way that she will
feel.

its tenth anniversary by issuing an edition -
tion containing expressions of opinion
from the leading editors and publicists
all over the country on the progress of
the country under protection during
the decade. It makes extremelyy interesting -
esting reading. For instance , one writer
notes the American production of beet
sugar in 1890 was six million pounds ,
in 1891 ten , in 1892 , eighteen , in 1893
forty-three and in 1894 sixty million
pounds. The factoryy at Norfolk , Neb. ,
alone expends among the farmers and
wage earners of its locality more than
$400,000 a year.
Grover's Wisdom.
It is reported that President Cleveland -
land said the other day , "It takes idleness -
ness to produce agitation. " For once
we commend the wisdom of the presi-
dent. Same 500,000 people have been
made idle because of the peculiar doctrines -
trines which he and his friends advo-
cate. When that idleness is enforced
until the idlers have nothing in their
stomachs , there is a tremendous agitation -
tion , and it is a wonder to us that under -
der the pressure of the last two years
there has no armed revolution been in-
augurated.-Tribune , Sat Lake.
GOed for the Trusts.
The promotion of attorney-General
Olneyy to the office of Secretary of State
should be encouraging to the trusts.
The failure of Mr. Olneyy to enforce the
anti-trust section of the Gorman tariff
is rewarded by promotion. This is in
full accord with the policy of the free
trade party under 331r. Cleveland's ad-
ministration.
i
"The Democratic party , " observes
the Dallas News , "has in it entirelyy too
many people who do not know what
Democracy means. " If they knew theyy
would get out. It is this ignorance
that has been the salvation of the
Democratic party.
