E have recently
had long columns !
of intelligence from !
t h e race-course ,
a n d mj1titudes
flocked to t h e
watering-places to
witness equine
competition , a n d
.there is lively discussion -
cussion I n all
households about
the right and wrong of such exhibi-
Ilona of mettle and speed , and when
there Is a heresy abroad that the col-
itivation of a horse's fleetness Sj
dniquity instead of a commendable vir-
tue-at such a time a sermon is de-
nanded of every minister who would
like to defend public morals on the one
Land , and who is not willing to see an
ainrlghteous abridgement of innocent
amusement on the other. In this discussion -
cussion I shall follow no sermonic precedent -
cedent , but will give independently
Iwhat 1 consider the Christian and commonsense -
mon-senso view of this potent , ail-ab-
sorbing and agitating question of the
turf. -
There needs to be a redistribution of
co onets among the brute creation. ,
i For ages the lion has been called the
king of beasts. I knock off its
coronet
net and put the crown upon the horse ,
in every way nobler , whether in shape ,
or spirit , or sagacity , or intelligence , or
affection , or usefulness. He is semi-
human , and knows how tb'rcason on I
a small scale. The centaur of olden '
times , part horse and part man , seems
to be a suggestion of the fact that the
horse is something more than a bca t.
Job in my text sets forth his strength ,
! his beauty , his majesty , the panting of
! ! his nostril , the pavini of his lcof. anti
, his enthusiasm for the battle. What
11osa I3onheur did for the cattle , and
'what Landseer did for the dog , Job with
mightier pencil does for the horse.
Eighty-eight times does the Bible speak
of him. Ho comes into every kingly
procession , and into every great occasion -
sion , and into every triumph. It is
fiery evident that Job , and David , and
Isaiah , and Ezekiel , and Jeremiah , and
John were fond of the horse. He
comes into much of their imagery. A
red horse-that meant war. A black
horse-that meant famine. A pale
horse-that meant death. A white
iio se--that meant victory. Good Mor-
decai mounts him while Haman holds
the bit. The Church's advance in the
Bible is compared to a company of
horses of Pharoah's chariot , Jeremiah
cries out : "How canst thou contend
with horses ? Isaiah says : "The
horse's hoofs shall be counted as flint. "
,
Miriam claps her cymbals and sings :
"The horse and the rider bath he
t
thrown into the sea. " St. John describing -
ing Christ as coming forth from conquest -
quest to conquest represents him as
seated on a white horse. In the parade
of heaven the Bible makes us hear the
clicking of hoofs oil the golden pave- !
i ment as it says : "The armies which
were in heaven followed him on white
I horses. " i should not wonder if the
Qiorse , so banged , and bruised , and
beaten , and outraged on earth , should
have same other place where his wrongs
shali be righted. I do not assert it ,
but I say I should not be surprised if ,
after all , St. John's descriptions of the i
horses in heaven turned out not altogether - '
gether to be figurative , but somewhat !
literal.
As the Bible makes a favorite of the
horse , the patriarch , and the prophet ,
and the evangelist , and the apostle
stroking his sleek hide and patting his
rounded neck , and tenderly lifting his
exquisitely formed hoof , and listening
with a thrill to the champ of his bit , so
all grew natures in all ages have
spoken of him in encomiastic terms.
Virgil in his Georgies almost seems to
plagarize from this description in the
text , so much are the descriptions alike
--the description of Virgil and the description -
scription of Job. The Duke of Wellington -
ton would not allow anyone irreverently -
ly to touch his old war horse , Copenhagen -
hagen , on whom he had ridden fifteen
hours without dismounting , at Water-
100 , and when old Copenhagen died , his
master ordered a military salute fired
over his grave. John Howard showed
that he did not exhaust all his sympathies -
thies in pitying the human race , for
when sick he writes home : "Has my
old chaise horse become sick or '
spoiled ? " There is hardly any passage
of Prench literature more pathetic than
the lamentation over the death of the
star-charger , Marchegay. Walter Scott
has : so much admiration for this divinely -
vinely honored creature of God that in
' "St. Ronan's Well" he orders the girth
slackened and the blanket thrown over
the smoking flanks. Edmund Burke ,
wallcdng in the park at Beaconsfield ,
I musing over the past , throws his arms
around the worn-out horse of his dead
son , Richard , and weeps upon the
horse's neck , the horse seeming to sympathize -
pathize in the memories. Rowland
Hill , the great English preacher , was
caricatured because in his family prayers -
ers he supplicated for the recovery of a
sick horse , but when the horse got well ,
contrary to all the prophecies of the {
farriers , the prayer did not seem quite
so much of an absurdity.
But what shall I say of the maltreatment -
ment of this beautiful and wonderful
creature of God ? If Thomas Chalmers
in his day felt called upon to preach
a sermon against cruelty to animals ,
how much more in this day is there a
- need of reprehensive discourse. All
boor of the memory of Prof. Bergh ,
: ho chief apostle for the brute crea-
4
w Y ; ' -a.--
tion , for the mercy ho demanded and
achieved for this king of beasts. A
man who paned four thousand horses ,
and some cay rorty thousand , v + rote in
the Bible : "A righteous man regardcth
the life of his beast" Sir Henry Law-
rence's care of the 1orze\vas ! beautifully -
ly Christian. I-fe says : "I expect we
Shall lose Conrad , though I have taken
so r huch care of him that he may come
in cool. I always walk him the last
four or five mlcs : , and as I walk myself
the first hour , it is only in the middle of
the journey we get over the ground. "
The Ettrick Shepherd in his matchless
Ambrosial Nights speaks of the mar-
treatment of the horse as a practical
blasphemy. I do not believe In the
transmigration of souls , but 1 cannot
very severely denounce the idea , for
when I see men who cut and bruise and
whack and welt and strike and maul' '
and outrage and Insult the horse , that
beautiful servant of the human race ,
who carries our burdens and pulls our
ploughs , and turns our threshers and
our iuCls , and runs for our doctors-
'wlcen I see men thus beating and abusing -
ing and outraging that creature , it
seems to me that it would be only fair
that the doctrine of transmigration of
souls should prove true , and that for
their punishment they should pass over
into some poor miserable brute and be
beaten and whacked and cruelly treated -
ed , and frozen and heated and overdriven -
driven ; Into an everlasting stage-
horse , an eternal traveler on a towpath -
path , or tied to an eternal post , in an
eternal winter , smitten with eternal
epizootics ! Oh , is it not a shame that
the brute creation , which had the first
possession of our world , should be so
maltreated by the race that came in
: act-the fowl and the fish created on
the fifth day , the horse and the cattle
created on the morning of the sixth
day , and the human race not created
until the evening of the sixth day ? It I
ought to be that if any man overdrives -
drives a horse , or feeds him when he
is hot , or recklessly drives a nail into
the quick of his hoof , or rowels him to
see him prance , or so shoes him that his
fetlocks drop blood , or puts a collar on
a raw neck , or unnecessarily clutches
his tongue with a twisted bit , or cuts
off his hair until he has no defense
,
against the cold , or unmercifully abbreviates -
breviates the natural defense against
insectile annoyance-that such a man
as that himself ought to be made to
pull and let his horse ride !
But not only do our humanity and
our Christian principle and the dictates
of God demand that we kindly treat
the brute creation , and especially the
horse ; but I go further , and say that
whatever can be done far the development -
ment of his fleetness and his strength
and .is majesty ought to be done , We
need to study his anatomy and his
adaptations. I am glad that large books
have been written to show how he can
be best managed , and how his ailments
can be cured , and what his usefulness
is , and what his capacities are. It would
be a shame if in this age of the world ,
when the florist has turned the thin
flower of the wood into a gorgeous rote ,
and the pomologi st has changed the
acrid and gnaretl : fruit of the ancients
into the very poetry of pear , and peach ,
and ! plum , and grape , and apple , and
the snarling cur of the Orient has become -
come the great mastiff , and the miserable -
able creature of the olden times barn-
yard' has become the Devcnshire , and
the Alderney , and the Shorthorn , that
the horse , grander than them all , should
get no advantage from our science , or
our civilisation , or our Christianity.
Groomed to the last point of soft brilliance -
liance , his flowing mane a billow of
beauty , his arched neck In utmost j
rhythm of curve , let him be harnessed
in graceful trappings and then driven
to the furthest goal of excellence , and I
then. fed at luxuriant oat bins , and
blanketed in comfortable stall. The
long tried and faithful servant of the
human race deserves all kindness , all
care , all reward , all succulent forage
and soft litter and paradisiacal pasture -
ture field. Those farms in Kentucky -
tucky and in different parts of the
North , where the horse is trained to
perfection in fleetness and in beauty i
and in majesty , are well set apart.
There is no more virtue in driving
slow than in driving fast , any more
than a freight train going ten miles
the hour' is better than an express train
going fifty. There is a delusion abroad
in the world that a thing must be necessarily -
sarily good and Christian if it is slow
and dull and plodding. There are very '
few good people who seen to imagine
it is humbly pious to drive a spavined ,
galled , glandered , spring-halted , blind-
staggered jade. There is not so much
virtue in a Rosinante as in a Buceph1
want swifter horses and '
alus. We , ,
swifter men. and swifter enterprises ,
and the Church of God needs 'to get off
its jog trot. Quick tempests , quick I
lightnings , quick streams ; why not
quick horses ? In the time of war the
cavalry service does the most execution -
tion , and as the battles of the world are
probably not all past , our Christian
patriotism demands that we be interested -
ested in equinal velocity. We might as
well have poorer gun's in our arsenals
and clumsier ships in our navyyardsl
, 1
than other nations , as to have under
our cavalry saddles and before our
parks of artillery slower horses. From
the battle of Granicus , where the Persian -
sian horses drove the Macedonian infantry -
fantry into the river , clear down to the
horses on which Philip Sheridan and
Stonewall Jackson rode into the fray , ,
this erm of the military sevice has been
recognized. Hamilcar , Hannibal , Gus-
tavus Adolphus , Marshal Nay were cav-
alrymen. In this arm of the service ,
Charles Martel at the battle of Poitiers 4
beit back the Arab invasion. The CarI I
thaginlan cavalry , with the loss of only '
seven hundred men , overthrew the Roman -
man army with the loss of seventy
thousand. In the same way the Spanish -
ish chivalry drove back the Moorish
hordes. The best way to keep peace in
this country and in all countries is to i
M -
i5 -
ho prepared for-war , and there to no
success in such a contest unless there
be plenty : of light-tooted chargers. Our
Christian patriotism and our instruction -
tion from the Word of God demand that
first of all we kindly treat the horse ,
and then after that , that we develop
his fleetness and his grandeur and his
majesty and his strength.
But what shall I say of the effort be-
lag made in this day on a large scale to
make this splendid creature of God , this
divinely honored being , an instrument
of atrocdorls evil ? I make no indiscriminate -
inate assault against the turf. I believe -
lieve in the turf if it can b > conducted
on right principles and with no betting.
There is no more harm in offering a
prize for the swiftest racer than there
is harm at an agricultural fair in offering -
ing a prize to the farmer who has the
best wheat , or to the fruit-grower who
has the largest pear , or to the machin ;
1st who presents the best corn-thresher ,
or in a school offering a prize of a
copy of Shakespeare to the best reader ,
or in a household giving a lump of
sugar to the best behaved youngster.
Prizes by all means , rewards by all
means. That is the .w'ay God develops
the race. Rewards for all binds of well-
doing. Heaven itself is called a prize :
"The prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus. " So what is right in one
direction is right in another direction.
And without the prizes the horse's
fleetness and beauty and strength will
never be fully deveopcd. : If it cost
$1,000 or $5,000 or $10Ci0 , and the re-
suit be achieved , it is cheap. But the
sin begins where the betting begins ,
for that is gambling , or the effort to
get that for which you give no equivalent -
lent , and gambling , whether on a large
scale or a small scale , ought to be denounced -
nounced of men as it wif be accursed
of God. Ii you have won fifty cents o
$5,000 as a wager , you had better get
rill of it. Get rid of it right away. Give
it to come one who has lost in a bet ,
or give it to some great reformatory in-
stitutinn , or if you do not like that , go
down to the river and pitch it off tlhc
docks. Ycu cannot afford to keep it.
It wia burn a hole in your purse , it
will burn a hole in your estate , and you
will lose all that , perhaps tr'n thousand -
sand times mole-perhaps you will lose
a1. Gambling blasts a man or it blasts
his children. Generally both and all.
What a spectacle when at Saratoga ,
or at Long BranchoratBrightonBeach ,
or at Sheepshead Bay , the horses start ,
and in a flash fifty or a hundred thousand -
sand dollars change hands ! Multitudes
ruined by losing the bet , others worse
ruined by gaining the bet ; for if a man
lose in a bet at a horse race , he may
be discouraged and quit , but if he win
the bet he is very apt to go straight on
to heal !
An intimate friend , a journalist , who
in the line of his profession investigated -
gated this evil , tels : me that there are
three different kinds of betting at hcrse
races , and they Ore about equally leprous -
rous : by "auction p0013 , by "French
mutuals , " b' what is called "booltmak-
ing'-all gamb'ing , all bad , all rotten
with iniquity- . There is one word that
needs to be written on the brow of
every , poolseler : is he sits de dncttng ,
his 3 or 5 per cent , and slyly "ringing ,
up" more tickets than were sold on I
'the winning horse ; a word to ha written -
ten also on the brow of every bookkeeper -
keeper who at extra inducetrent
scratches a horse off of the race , and on
the brow of every jockey who slackens
pace that , according to agreement , hn-
other may win , and written over every
judge's stand , and written on every
board of the surrounding fences. That
word is swindle ! Yet thousands bet.
Lawyers bet. Judges of courts bet.
Members of the legislature bat Members -
bers of congress bet. Professors of religion -
ligion bet. Teachers and superintendents -
ents of Sunday schools , I am told , bet.
Ladies bet , not directly , but through
agents. "Yesterday , and every day they
bet , they gain , they lose , and this summer -
mer , w'htle the parasols swing and the
hands clap and the huzsas deafen ,
there will be a multitude of people cajoled -
joled , and deceived , and cheated , who
vi11 at 'the races go neck and neck ,
neck and neck to perdition. Cultivate
tae horse , by all raens , drive him as
fast as.you desire , provided ycu do not
injure him or endanger yourself or 0thr
ers ; but be careful and do not harness
the horse to the chariot of sin. Do
not throw your jewels of morality Under
der the flying hoof. Do not under the
pretext of improving the horse destroy l
1 man. Do not have your name put
down in the ever-increasing catalogue
of those who are ruined for both
worlds by the dissipations of the American -
h
,
ican race course , They say that an
tonest race course is a "straight" track ,
Ind that a dishonest race course is a
'crooked" track-that is the parlance
abroad ; but I tell you that every race
track , surrounded by betting men and t
betting women , and betting customs , is
a straight track-I mean straight l
down ! Christ asked in one of his Gospels - r
pels : "It not a man better than a
sheep ? " I say , yes , and he is better
than all the steeds that with lathered
flanks ever shot around the ring-at a
race course. That is a very poor job by
which a man in order to get a horse
d
to come out a full length ahead of some
t
other racer , so lames his own morals
that he comes out a whole length he- c
°
hind in the race set before him.

since 1359. There can be no doubt as
to the marked increase of these five e

FREE WOOL VERSUS FOREIGN WOOL.-
million and a half dollars for three
months , or at the rate of $6,257,396.52
L year. It is clear that Canadian farmers -
ers are coming in direct competition
vitli the products of American farms in
every principal article that our farmers
can furnish for the home market. The
argest imports were of wool , next
coming barley , beans , hides and skins ,
horses , eggs , potatoes , leaf tobacco ,
ray , and straw , seeds , sheep and lambs ,
apples , onions , and turnips and poultry.
When the Canadian farmers begin to
supply the American towns along the
border dine with Canadian farm products -
ucts , then the American farmers who
used to look to these home markets for
an outlet for their produtcts must turn
elsewhere and go further south , paying
more freight before they can sell their
goads , and also coming into competi-
ion with other farmers , and naturally
depressing the value of farm stuffs
everywhere through a glut in the mar-
: et. Later in the year the exports
vere undoubtedly 'larger. Give the
home market to the American farmer.
Buying and Selling.
One of the greatest of the free-trade
tear cries has always been that "if we '
id not buy we could not sell , " meaning
hat if we manufactured in our own
ountry all the goods required for our
wn market without importing any
rom foreign countries , then foreign
ountries would not buy any of our
arm products or domestic manufac-
ures. Many people have been foolish
nough to believe this theory. Now
et us look at the facts.
Taking the statistics of our import
nd export trade for the fiscal years
nding June 30 , 1894 and 1895 , as sup-
lied by the bureau of statistics of the
reasury department , we find that our
mports from European countries dur-
ng the two years were as follows :
IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
S95 . ' . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3S3,686,842

Inxrease , 1595. . . . . . . . . . . $ SS,60S,977
'
It appears that during the 1895 year ,
since the Gorman tariff went Into effect -
fect , we bought from European countries -
tries foreign goods worth $ SS,608,977
more than we bought in 1694. Having
increased our purchases by this large
sum of money in a single year we naturally -
urally turn to the figures of our exports ,
expecting to find that we have increased -
creased our sales of American goods
by about the same amount of money ;
but what do we find ? Here are the
figures : ,
EXPORTS TO EUROPE.

It seems that during 1593 we sold to
European countries $72,895,689 worth
less of our American products and manufactures -
ufactures than we did during the fiscal
year ending June 30 , 189.1. In the 1S95
year we spent over $ SSG00,000 more
money in European countries , and they
spent $72,900,000 less money in this
country.'T0 certainly bought more
from them , but , instead of their returning -
ing the compliment , they bought lea
from us. Our loss for the year's deal
under the Gormantariff , which is only
the first step toward free trade , exceeded -
ed $160,000,000. Thus another free-
trade theory is smashed. '

Can you furnish me a statement
showing the number of horses and their
value imported into this country under
the Gorman-Brice bill ? Also , the number -
ber of cattle and their value imported
under the recent suspension of duties
as to them when there was a little
flurry in the price of beef. Would
love to have statistics on wool trade
since that bill went into effect.

In regard to suspension of duties we
inquired of the secretary , of agriculture ,
who replied as follows.

Office of the Secretary , tl
Washington , D. C. , Aug 17 , 1S95.
You ask me to advise you of the
"exact date of the recent suspension of
duties on foreign cattle , when it went "
into effect , how long it was in effect
and what countries it affected. "
I am not aware that there has been
,
any suspension of duties on foreign cat- .
tie , except the provision which has Z , '
been in the last two Tariff laws admitting -
ting pure bred animals for breeding
purposes free of duty.
Very respectfully ,
