EW YORK, JULY
7. In his sermon
for to-day. Dr. Tal
mage, who is still
absent on his west
ern lecturing tour. ,
chose a subject of
universal Interest,
viz: " Business
Troubles," the text
selected being Eze
klel 27: 24: "These
were thy merchants
In all sorts of things."
We are at the opening door of re
turning national prosperity. The com
ing crops, the re-establishment of pub
lic confidence, and, above all, the bless
ing of God, will turn In upon all sections
of America the widest, greatest prosper
itv. this country has even seen. But
that door of successes Is not yet fully J
. . ... i t ,
open, and thousands of business men
are yet suffering from the distressing
limes through which we have been
passing.
Some of the best men In the land have
faltered; men whose hearts are en
listed In every good work, and whose
hands have blessed every great char
ity. The Church of God can afford to
extend to them her sympathies, and
plead before heaven wltb all-availing
prayer. The schools such cnen have es
tablished, the churches they have built,
the asylums and beneficent Institutions
"they have fostered, will be their eulo
gy long after their banking institutions
ere forgotten. Such men can never
fall. They have their treasures In banks
that never break, and will be million
aires forever. But I thought It would
be appropriate, to-day, and useful, for
tne to talk about the trials and tempta
tions of our business men. and try to
offer some curative prescriptions

3arts of the demand made upon our ,

found themselves In such circum

ometimes been tempted to run against
-the rocks of moral and financial de
struction. This temptation of limited
capital has ruined men In two ways.
Sometimes they have shrunk down un-

aln. our cities are crowded with men
resolved to be rich at all hazards.
They do not care how money comes. If
It only comes. Our best merchants are
thrown Into competition with men of
more means and less conscience, and If
an opportunity of accumulation be neg
lected one hour, some jne 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 world
Uness dashes clear over the churches,
and leaves Its foam on Bibles and
prayer-books. Men who are llvln 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.

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 collioslon.
It Is often the case that the father Is
the mere treasurer of the family, a
sort of agent to see that they have dry
goods and groceries. The work of fam-
Uy 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
ends and with the hand on the carv
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
for you today, sir?" A man has more
responsibilities than those which are
charged by putting competent lnstruct-
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 them
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 chil
dren ought never to have been tempted
out of a crusty and unredeemable soli
tariness. If 3'ou 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 cantlvated by the glittering saloon
of sin unless you can make your home
a brighter place than any other place
. nesa from the heart no 8parkle from
the eye, no ring from the laughter, but
that "her . ways are ways of pleasant
ness, and all her paths are peace." I
sympathize with the work being done
in many of our cities by which beauti
ful rooms are set apart by our Young
Men's Christian associations, and I
pray God to prosper them in all things.
But 1 tell you there Is something back
of that and before that: "We need more
happy, consecrated, cheerful Christian
homes everywhere.
Agaln'I remark that a great many
of our business men are tempted to put
the attainment of money above the
think that the heaven that would be ap- '
proprlate for him would be an ever- .
lasting poorhouse. While, my friends,
we do admit there ie such a thing as '
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 can
not unlock the gate of heaven. There
are men In all occupations who seem
to act as though they thought that a
pack of bonds 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. Sal
vation by Christ Is the only salvation.
Treasures in heaven are the only in
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, U like jags. IIom.espun 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 Is 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 cama
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 toll, with blistered hands and
strained muscle, tug for their lives.
The- 13 a sail seen against the sky.
The flash of the distress gun is no
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 Are. The
timbers of rock will burn, the moun
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
all your souls.
Individual Communion Cups.
The Congregatlonallst publishes the
following opinion of a physician a3 to
the use of the individual cup at the com
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 un
warranted conclusions arrived at; on
the other hand, years ago, at consider
able trouble and expense, I sought In
formation from the most distinguished
medical men In the world on this sub
ject. From that time until this no med
ical man has ever been able, to my
knowledge, to produce one solitary case
where participation irv the sacred cere
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 undeter
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
I personal claims, quick to sympathize
; and help? Or Is It sour and hard, grim
j and frowning, dominated by petty gos
j sip and Jealousies, self-asserting and
! domineering driving away more than
It draws? Look into this matter. Care-
fully consider this question. See wheth-
1 er or not you are properly representing

T.et L's Soap This Is So.
Even common washing soap may have
a roman.e 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 rail
road man of Susquehanna, and an Item
in Friday's Cincinnati papers was head
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 con
scientiously performed for Christ's
glory, helps to make the Christian char
acter beautiful and to load its broad
boughs with "apples of gold" for God's
"baskets of silver."

POINTS FOR SILVER.
IT IS THE FRIEND OF THE
AMERICAN PRODUCER.
Oold Is the Only Hope oC the Money
Lender and Usurer The Issue Is One
Between Producers and Money
Lenders.
The remonetizatlon of silver, at a
ratio of 16 to 1, would result in a vast
expansion of the pr capita circulation
of the country. Such is the strongest
argument put forth by the friends of
the white metal.
On the other hand the gold monomet
alists argue that the remonetizatlon of
silver would drive all the gold out of
the country. This is their strongest
argument.
There are other arguments on both
sides, but they are all more or less de
pendent upon the ones given. All ar
guments for and against free coinage
of the two metals must necessarily be
based upon either proposition. Thus
in the coming national campaign with
one party in favor of free coinage and
the other against it the issue will be
greatly simplified. The two parties in
next year's contest will make finance
the dividing line, no matter by what
names they are known. The friends of
silver will flock to the standard, which,
without reserve, declares for free coin
age. The friends of the single gold
standard will flock to the party which
represents the gold interests. Party
affiliations will count for nothing when
it comes to this issue. Especially
are the friends of silver determined on
this point.
But to the merits of the two propo
sitions on the financial question.
The claim of the silver men is
founded on truth. No one will for a
moment claim that free coinage of sil
ver would not result in an increase of
the amount of money in circulation.
But what kind of money would it
be cheap or dear or just medium? If
the proposition of the gold men is cor
rect, free coinage of silver is not de
sirable; for so long as we use metallic
money of redemption it should consist
of the two metals, so that the money
lending class will not know what kind
of money their loans will be redeemed
In at any given time.
To-day every political party, is, or
pretends to be in favor of the double
standard. Yet we have the single stand
ard. Just because we use a large
amount of silver money is no evidence
that we are on a bimetallic basis. The
silver must be redeemed in gold and
is therefore only doing the duty of
paper money. Silver as it is now used
is totally undesirable. Put It on a
plane with gold and it will go into hid
ing just like gold with the result that
more paper money than ever will go
into circulation among the people
something.greatly to be desired in the
work of finally solving the great prob
lem. But for present purposes all we
need is to establish a parity between
gold and silver, so that neither metal
will leave the country. The condition
desired is that which existed prior to
1S73, gold and silver being then on a
parity at a ratio of 16 to 1.
To rearrange the parity between the
two metals, it would seem that all that
is necessary is the re-enactment of the
law that existed prior to 1873. For in
asmuch as the "act of demonetization."
passed in 1S73, has resulted in a
decline in the price of silver, an
act of remonetizatlon will have a like
effect in the opposite direction. For
all the purposes required for civiliza
tion silver is just as valuable as it was
prior to 1873. So is wheat or oats or
anything. Yet the price has fallen.
Here attention may be called to the
fact that the enemies of silver contin
ually point out the fact that the price
of wheat and other farm products has
fallen because of the increased supply.
They tell us that prices of commodi
ties are affected by the laws of supply
and demand, which is true. Every
body knows that. But when you argue
to the same point with regard to silver
the gold advocate becomes greatly con
fined for an answer. He knows that
the demand that would be created
for silver by an act of remone
tizatlon would bring the price up
to a parity with gold at a ratio
of 16 to 1, but he won't acknowl
edge the truth. Nine times out of ten
he will wind up the argument on the
spot by telling you that "you don't
know what you are talking about."
It is as simple as abc that remone
tizatlon of silver would result in bring
ing the metal up to parity with gold.
Who would be foolish enough to sell
silver at less than $1 dollar per ounce
when it could be exchanged for $1 at
the mint?
WHh a view of injuring the cause
of tree coinage, the Reform club of
New York, principally made up of Eng
lishmen, recently promulgated a news
paper fake to the effect that a ring had
"cornered" all the silver product of the
country. It was their idea to convey
the impression that a gigantic monopo
ly Is at the head of the silver move
ment. Here are some lines quoted from
the first dispatch sent out: " This syn
dlcat stands to make fifty per
cent on its investment if free coinage
win3. Here is a problem for work
ing men to. ponder over. Are they
going to assist a monopoly of this
kind?" Now is this not a confession
that remonetizatlon of silver will bring
the price up to the desired point? It
came unwittingly from the gold stand
ard men. As soon as the boomerang
nature of the fake was discovered the
Reform club discontinued sending out
reports on the subject.
So, with the purchasing value of gold
and silver made equal, neither metal
would leave the country in preference
to the other. In any event not very
much money in any form will ever
leave the country except in the way of
interest on foreign loans. Nearly
everybody knows that money never
leaves this country except for the pur
pose of settling balances. For ex
ample: If, during the month of July Eng
land, or some other European country,
buys American goods valued in dollars
and cents at $100,000. During the same
period the United States buys of Eng
land goods valued at $100,000. Thus
the accounts balance exactly and no
actual exchange in coin or bullion is
made. But suppose we buy $110,000
worth of English goods and sell only
$105,000 worth of American goods, then
we must send to England $5,000 in
coin or bullion to make the balance
good. For thirty years, however, the
balances have all been on our side. We
sell more in Europe than we buy in
Europe, consequently we have been, on
the face of the trade balances, absorb
ing European gold. A change to the
double standard on the part of this
country would not change the scale
against us. If anything it would in
crease the importations of gold, for
the reason that the double standard
would, as even the gold standard ad
vocates admit, have a tendency to re
strict importations. So with the bal
ance of trade, always in our favor, It
is not likely that our "gold would leave
us."
Probably what is meant by the ex
pression as used by the money-lending
class is that foreign loans would
at once be recalled in event of a free
coinage act. It hardly seems probable
that so much good luck would fall to
the lot of this country all at once
free silver coinage and the with
drawal of Interest-bearing loans. I
have not got the exact figures at hand
but it is safe to place the foreign cap
ital now drawing interest in this coun
try at $5,000,000,000. Four years ago it
was more than that, but a large amount
has been withdrawn since that time.
The annual interest on this sum is
enormous, about $200,000,000. How do
we pay it?
I said above that on the face of the
balance of trade reports our country
always stands on the right side. But
why do we not grow richer as we con
tinue to absorb European gold? The
truth of the matter is that while the
balance of trade is always in our favor,
the deficiency Is not paid in gold. It is
simply charged to the account of inter
est on foreign loans in the United
States. So we find that the interest
on foreign loans is the real mischief
maker on the scales of international
trade. We are giving away the prod
ucts of American labor to settle the in
terest on European Investments in our
own country. And this interest keeps
growing in volume until at no distant
day it will annually absorb the price
we should receive for our entire annual
exports. And yet there are those who
pretend to be afraid these loans will
be withdrawn. The same sort of a cry
was sent up more than a hundred years
ago when the people of this country
began to discuss the question of throw
ing off the yoke of England. The or
iginators of the cry said that this talk
of freedom would cause the withdrawal
of English money. For a long time it
kept the timid In line, but finally it
was drowned by the patriot cry "To
arms," and the war for independence
finally stilled it. The English money
did go and it was replaced with Amer
ican money. The question of the pres
ent bears almost direct relation to that
decided In the past. When the Euro
pean capital goes, if it does, we will
replace it with American money and
then enter upon an era of prosperity
once again.
Between the single gold standard and
the Ideal monetary system there is a
wide and yawning chasm, perhaps as
wide as a thousand years. Alas for
humanity, perhaps even ten thousand
years. The double standard is merely
a step in the right direction. It will
better serve to balance accounts be
tween the money-lending class and the
producers than anything practicable
just now. It will injure the money
lender, because it qreates an addi
tional supply of his stock-in-trade, just
as the opening of the vast Indian
empire to the product! on of wheat
has a tendency to decrease the
price of wheat grown in America.
Under bimetallism, money becoming
more plentiful, people would borrow
less and rates of interest would de
cline. The money-lending clasc would
gradually be forced into the field of
production and usefulness. It is such
a condition of affairs (being forced into
a field of usefulness) that the money
lender most strongly objects to. He
hates humanity, would trample upon
liberty and would consign the Bible to
the uttermost limits. He despises the
Word of God on general principles, but
especially because it says: "He who
doss not work neither shall he eat."
By the designation of "money-lender"
I do not refer to the ordinary
banker, who, as a general rule is all
right at heart. Its the fellow that
controls the banker to whom the title
belongs.
The campaign tor bimetallism is
necessarily between the money-lenders
and the producers, which means every
body except the money-lenders. Of
course a large portion of the producers
will vote with the money-lenders when
it comes to an Issue. The campaign
of education in behalf of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver without the
advice or consent of any other nation
on earth, must continue to be vigorous.
Not a point must be yielded to the
enemy. One more word and that about
international consent. Did the signers
of the Declaration of Independence
submit the document to Europe before
affixing their names to it? What
would they have thought of any one
who suggested such a thing? If the
other nations want free silver let them
legislate for themselves. We are in
terested first In the prosperity and hap
piness of our own people.
