A S HINGTON ,
March 22 , 1896.-
"Newspaper Row. " i
as it is called here
in Washington , the
long row of offices
connected with
prominent journals
i
throughout t h e
land , pays so much
attention to Dr. I
Talmage they may
be glad to hear what he thinks of them II II I I
While be discusses a subject in which I
the whole country is interested. His
text today was : "And the wheels were
full of eyes. " Ezekiel x : 12. "For
'all the Athenians and strangers which
were there spent their time In nothing
else but either to tell or hear some new
I thing. " Acts xvil : 21.
What Is a preacher to do when he i
finds two texts equally good and suggestive -
gestive ? In that perplexity I take both.
Wheels full of eyes ? What but the
wheels of a newspaper printing press ?
Other wheels are blind. They roll on ,
pulling or crushing. The manufac-
turer's wheel , how it grinds the operator -
or with fatigues , and rolls over nerve
and muscle and bone and heart , not
knowing what it does. The sewing
machine wheel sees not the aches and
pairs fastened to it-tighter than the
band that moves It , sharper than the
needle which it plies. Every moment +
of every hour of every day of every
month of every year there are hundreds -
dreds of thousands of wheels of mechanism -
anism , wheels of enterprise , wheels
of hard work , in motion , but they are
eyeless. Not so with the wheels of the
printing press. Their entire business
is to look and report. They are full of
optic nerves , from axle to periphery.
They are like those spoken of by Ezekiel -
kiel as full of eyes. Share eyes , nearsighted -
sighted , far-sighted. They look up.
They look down. They look far away.
They take in the next street and the
next hemisphere. Eyes of critjcism ,
eyes of investigation ; eyes that twinkle
with mirth , eyes glowering with indignation -
nation , eyes tender with love ; eyes of
suspicion , eyes of hope : blue eyes , black
eyes , green eyes ; holy eyes , evil eyes ,
sore eyes , political eyes , literary eyes ,
historical eyes , religious eyes ; eyes that
' . sec everything. "And the wheels were
full of eyes , " But in my second text is
' the world's cry for the newspaper. Paul
describes a class of people In Athens
who spent their time either in gather-
lug news or telling it. Why especially
I in Athens ? Because the more intelli-
1 ' gent people become , the tnore inquisitive -
tive they are-not about small things ,
but great things.
The question then most frequently is
the question now most frequently
asked : What is the news ? To answer
:
' that cry in the text for the newspaper
the centuries have put their wits to
work. China first succeeded , and has
at Pekin a newspaper that has been
printed every week for- one thousand
years , printed on sUk. Rome succeeded -
ed by publishing the Acta Diurna , in
the same column putting fires , murders -
ders , marriages and tempests. France
t succeeded by a physician writing out
the news of the day for his patients.
England succeeded under Queen Elizabeth -
beth in first publishing the news of the
Spanish Armada , and going on until
she had enough , enterprise , when the
battloof Waterloo was fought , decidingg
the destiny of Europe , to give it one-
third of a column in the London Morning -
ing Chronicle , about as much as the
newspaper of our day gives of a small
fire. America succeeded by Benjamin
Harris' first weekly paper , called Public -
lic Occurrences , published in Boston in
1690 , and by the first daily , the American -
ican Advertiser , published in Philadelphia -
phia in 1784.
The newspaper did not suddenly
spring upon the world , but came grad-
ually. The genealogical line of the
I newspaper is this : The Adam of the
race was a circular or news-letter , created -
ated by Divine impulse in human nature -
ture ; and the circular begat the pamphlet -
phlet , and the pamphlet begat the quarterly -
terly , and the quarterly begat the weekly -
ly , and the weekly begat the semi-
I
weekly , and the semi-weekly begat the '
daily. But alas ! by what a struggle it
came to its present development ! No
sooner had its power been demonstrated'
than tyranny and superstition shackled
it. There is nothing that despotism so
fears and hates as a printing press. It
has too many eyes in its wheel. A ,
great writer declared that the king of l '
Naples made it unsafe for him to write
of anything but natural history. Austria -
tria could not endure Kossuth's journalistic -
nalistic pen , pleading for the redemption -
tion of Hungary. Napoleon I. , trying ,
to keep his iron heel on the neck of nations -
tions , . said : "Editors' are the regents
I
of sovereigns and the tutors of nations ,
and are only fit for prison. " But the
battle for the freedom of the press was
fought in the court rooms of England
and America and decided before this
century began by Hamilton's eloquent
plea for J. Peter Zenger's Gazette in
America and Erslane's advocacy of the
.freedom of publication in England.
But I discourse now on a subject you
have never heard-the immeasurable
.and everlasting blessing of a good newspapers -
papers Thank God for the wheel full
of eyes. Thank God that we do not
. .have-like the Athenians-to go about
to gather up and relate the tidings of ,
& . the day , since the omnivorous newspaper -
paper does both for us. The grandest
temporal blessing that God has given
is thA fPtyR-
to the nineteenth century
e .
a
Te , N /k ,
cr S { ,1x
I paper. We would bavo better appre- .
elation of this blessing if we knew the
mbney , tbo brain , the losses , the exas-
peratlons , the anxieties , the wear and
' tear of hearts involved In the production -
tion of a good newspaper. Under the
Impression that almost anybody can
make a newsPaPer , scores of inexperienced -
enced capitalists every year enter the
lists , and , consequently , durinz the last
few years a newspaper has died almost
I every day. The disease is epidemic.
I The larger papers swallow the smaller
ones , the whale taking down fifty min-
flows at one swallow. With more than
seven thousand dallier. and weeklies In
the United States and Canada , there are
+ but thirty-six a half center } old. Newspapers -
papers do not average more than five
years' existence. The most o [ them die
of cholera infantum. It is high time
that the people found out that the most
stTccessful way to sink money and keep
it sunk Is to start a newspaper. There
comes a time when almost everyone Is
smitten with the newspaper mania and
starts one'or have stock in one he muster
or die.
To publish a newspaper requires the
skill , the precision , the boldness , the
vigilance , the strategy of a commander-
in-chief. To edit a newspaper requires
that one be a statesman , an essayist , a
geographer , a statistician , and in acquisition -
sition , encyclopediac. To man , to govern -
ern , to propel a newspaper until it shall
be a fixed institution , a national fact ,
demand more qualities than any business -
ness on earth. If you feel like starting
any newspaper , secular or religious ,
understand that you are being threatened -
ened with softening of the brain or
lunacy and , throwing your pocketbook
into your wife's lap , start for some insane -
sane asylum before you do something
desperate. Meanwhile , as the dead
newspapers , week by week , are carried
out to the burial , all the living newspapers -
papers give respectful obituary , telling
when they were born and when they
died. The best printer's ink should
give at least one sticlful of epitaph. If
it was a good paper , say , "Peace to its
ashes. " If it was a bad paper , I suggest -
gest the epitaph written for Francis
Chartreuse : "Here continueth to rot
the body of Francis Chartreuse , who ,
with an inflexible constancy and uniformity -
formity of life , persisted in the practice -
tice of every human vice , excepting
prcdigality and hypocrisy ; his insatiable -
able avarice exempted him from the
first , his matchless impudence from the
second. " I say this because i want you
to know that a good , healthy , long-
lived , entertaining newspaper is not an
easy blessing , but cne that comes to us
through the fire.
First of all , newspapers make knowledge -
edge democratic and for the multitude.
The public library is a hay-mow so high
up that few can reach it , while the
newspaper throws down the forage to
our feet. Public libraries are the reservoirs -
voirs where the great floods are stored
high up and away off. The newspaper
is the tunnel that brings them down to
the pitchers of all the people. The
chief use of great libraries is to make
newspapers out of. Great libraries
make a few men and women very wise.
Newspapers lift whole nations into the
sunlight. Better have fifty million people -
ple moderately intelligent than one
hundred thousand solons. A false impression -
pression is abroad that newspaper
knowledge is ephemeral because periodicals -
icals are thrown aside , and not
one out of ten thousand' people
files them for future reference.
Such knowledge , so far from
being ephemeral , goes into the very
structure of the world's heart and
brain and decides the destiny of
churches and. nations. Knowledge on
the shelf is of little worth. It is
knowledge afoot , knowledge harnessed ,
knowledge in revolution , knowledge
wliiged , ' knowledge projected , knowledge -
edge thunder-bolted. So far from being -
ing ephemeral , nearly all the best
minds and hearts have their hands on
the printing press today , and have had
since it got , emancipated. Adams and
Hancock and Otis used to go to the
Boston Gazette and compose articles
on the rights r.4 the people. Benjamin
Franklin , De Witt Clinton , Hamilton ,
Jefferson , Quincy were strong in news-
paperdom. Many of the immortal
things that have been published in
book form first appeared in what you
may call the ephemeral periodical. All
Macaulay's essays first appeared in a
review. All Carlyle's , all Ruskin's , all
McIntosh s , all Sydney Smith's , all
Hazlett's , all Thackeray's , all the elevated -
vated works of fiction in our day , are
reprints from periodicals in which they
appeared as serials. Tennyson's poems ,
Burns' poems , Longfellow's poems , ,
Emerson's poems , Lowelrs poems , j
Whittier's poems , were once fugitive '
pieces. You cannot find ten literary '
men in Christendom , with strong
minds and great hearts , but are or have
been somehow connected with the '
newspaper printing press. While the I
book will always have its. place , the
newspaper is more potent. Because
the latter is multitudinous do not conclude -
t
clude it is necessarily superficial. If a
g
man , should from childhood to _ old age
see only his Bible , Webster's Dictionary -
ary and his newspaper , he could b
prepared for all the duties of this life
and all the happiness of the next. I
Again , a good newspaper is a useful
mirror of life as it is. It is sometimes
complained , that newspapers report the
evil when they ought only to report the
gco'd. They must report the evil as
well as the good , or how shall we know
ivhat is to be reformed , what guarded
against , what fought down ? A newspaper -
paper that pictures only the honesty
and virtue of society is a misrepre-
sentation. That family is best prepared -
pared for the duties of life which ,
knowing the evil , is taught to select
the good. Keep the children under the
impression that all is fair and right in
the world , and when they go out into
1
it they will be as poorly prepared to i
struggle with it as a child who is thrown
J
3
' tv
.
Into the mlgtlle of the Atlantic and told !
to learn how to 'swim. Our only complaint -
plaint is when sin Is made attractive
and morality dull , when vice is painted
with great headlines and good deeds
are put in obscure corners , iniquity set
up in great primer and righteousness In
ronpariel , Sin is loathsome , make it
loathsome , Virtue Is beautiful , make
it beautiful.
It would work a vast improvement
if all our papers-religious , political ,
literary-should for the most part drop
their impersonality. This would do
better justice to newspaper writers.
Many of the strongest and best writers
of the country live and die unknown ,
and are denied their just fame. The
vast public never learns who they are.
Most of tht'm are on comparatively
small income , and after awhile their
hand forgets its cunning , and they are
without resources , left to die. Why
not , at least , have his initial attached
to his most important work ? It always
ways gave additional force to an article
when you occasionally saw added to
some significant article in the old New
York Courier and Enquirer J , W. W. ,
o : in the Tribune H. G. , or in the Herald -
ald J. G , B. , or in the Times H. J. R. ,
or in the Evening Post W. C. B. , or in
the Evening Express L. B. While this
arrangement would be a fair and just
thing for newspaper writers , it would
be a defense for the public.
Once more 1 remark , that a good
newspaper is a blessing as an evangelistic -
gelistic influence. You know there is
a great change In ou : day taking place.
All the secular newspapers of the day
-for I am not speaking now of the religious -
ligious newspapers-all the secular
newspapers of the day discuss all the
questions of God , eternity and the dead ,
and all the questions of the past , pros-
cut anti future. There is not a single
doctrine of theology but has been discussed -
cussed in the last ten years by the secular -
ular newspapers of the country.
They , gather up all the news of all the
earth bearing on religious subjects , and
then they scatter the news abroad
again. The Christian newspaper will
be the right wing of the apocalyptic
angel. The cylinder of the Christianized -
ized printing press will be the front
wheel of the Lord's chariot. I take the
music of this day , and I do not mark ft '
diminuendo-I mark it crescendo. A
pastor on a Sabbath preaches to a few
hundred , or a few thousand people , and
on Monday , or during the week , the
printing press will take the same sermon -
mon and preach it to millions of peo-
ple. God speed the printing press ! God
save the printing press ! God Christianize -
tianize the printing press !
When I see the printing press standing -
ing with the electric telegraph on the
one side gathering up material , and
the lightning express train on the
other side waiting for the tons of folded -
ed sheets of newspapers , 1 pronounce
it the mightiest force in our civiliza-
tion. So i commend you to pray for
all those who manage the newspapers of
the land , for all type setters , for all reporters -
porters , for all editors , for all publishers -
lishers , that , sitting or standing in positions -
sitions of such great influence , they
may give all that influence for God and
the betterment of the human race. An
aged woman making her living by knitting -
ting , unwound 'the yarn from the ball
until she found in the center of the ball
there was an old piece of newspaper.
She opened it and read an advertisement -
ment which announced that she had
become heiress to a large property , and
that fragment of newspaper lifted her
from pauperism to affluence. And 1 do
not know but as the thread of time unrolls -
rolls and unwinds a little further ,
through the silent yet speaking newspaper -
paper may be found the vast inheritance -
tance of the world's redemption.
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run ;
His kindoin stretch from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
RELIGION AND REFORM ,

No country in the world is more
abundantly supplied with labor than
China , and in no country in the world
does the laborer receive less compen-
sation. A Chinese laborer will save
money on wages that would hardly be
sufficient to supply the absolute necessities -
sities of an American laborer , This is
made possible by the cheapness of the
vegetable diet on which the Chinese laborer -
borer is content to live ; the small cost
of house accommodations , for several
families will subdivide one room of a
house and live in contentment in it ,
and the low price paid for clothing ,
which is made of the coarsest cottons. .
But the cheapness of labor in China
does not mean that the products of that
labor are inferior in quality , The
Japanese laborer , receiving higher
wages , is more artistic in his work-
his productions are more finished ; in
dyes and blending of colors he is superior -
perior to his Chinese rival , but in substantial -
stantial and lasting quality the latter
is fully the equal , and in some instances
the superior.
There is in Chinese character a conservatism -
servatism which has discouraged all
progress in China. The principle , "let
well enough alone , " has been adhered
to under the mistaken idea that "well
enough" was the best ; but in China this
adherence to custom , this opposition to
change , has filled the Empire with an
impoverished population , for a people
that use in their trade and business
a currency of so small a denomination
as one-tenth of a Mexican cent cannot
be said to have felt the quickening influence -
fluence of hn enlarged and civilizing
commerce. The cheapness and small
denominations of Chinese currency and
the low price of the diet and clothing
of the Chinese laborer are evidences
of nonprogressiveness , but it should not
be inferred from these that the capacity -
ity for progress is absent from Chinese
character.
During the last fiscal year the value
of the aggregate trade relations between -
tween China and the United States was
estimated at $25,500,000 , with a balance
against the United States of $7,200,000 ,
while in China , as in Japan , Great
Britain checks off large balances in her
favor , although more remote from
China by thousands of miles.
European nations are sustaining the
efforts of European merchants more
substantially than the American merchant -
chant is sustained. The latter , in the
competition , has to rely upon his own
skill and energy , while the merchants
of Europe are encouraged by the aid
given to the great steamship lines
which carry their flags and pour the
productions of Europe into Asiatic
ports. At the port of Shanghai , the
great commercial and distributing center -
ter of Asiatic trade , Great Britain ,
France and Germany have direct mail
and commercial communication-the
steamers entering and leaving the port
every week , carrying the flags of their
respective nationalities , while no ship
carrying the American mail and flying
the Stars and Stripes touches at Shanghai -
hai at all.
Frm this standpoint the advantages
to American interest of the cutting of
the Nicaragua Canal would evidently be
great. Should the United States cut the
canal and say that vessels carrying the
flag of the United States should pass
toll free , or at very moderate tolls , for
certain period , would not the benefit
to American shipping be almost ineal-
culable ? Would it not create a new life
n the shipyards of the United States ,
anti soon restore our flag to its former
supremacy on the ocean ?
In conclusion , we give the value of
Chinese labor , the rates of wages being
hose paid at Shanghai , and reduced to
American currency , by Consul Jerni-
gan , On September 30 , 1895.

Policy of Inclebtednesi
The policy of the nation , during the
past two years , has been one of indebt-
edness. And so it has been , in too
many instances , on the part of the in-
dividual. We are confronted now with
a proposition for a new loan. If this be
put through , then the combined payments -
ments for principal and interest of new
bonded debt , incurred under the present
administration , will approximate half a
billion of dollars. This in time of
peace , and following so closely upon a
time of unparalleled prosperity , as we
had in 1892 , is appalling.-The Morning

One of the most mammoth trusts ever
formed on the Pacific Coast went into
effect last night. It was the formation
of the Central Lumber Company of California -
ifornia , representing a combined capital
of $70,000,000 , and including in its membership -
bership every lumber mill and all
wholesale and retail dealers and ship
owners on the coast.
The first move will be to advance the
price of lumber $2 per thousand feet.
The effect of free trade is growing
here as in England. It creates trusts
and monopolies and advances prices to
the consumer.

When a barrel of potatoes can be exchanged -
changed for 28 pounds of granulated
sugar , as was the case on January 1 ,
1892 , farmers were not doing so badly.
But when a barrel of potatoes was
I
worth only 14 pounds of sugar , as was
the case at the beginning of this year ,
it comes pretty hard upon farmers.
They realize , now , the difference between - i
tween McKinley Protection and Democratic -
cratic Free Trade ,
Cheap Wages , Cheap Buying.
Men who labor for twelve cents a day
are poor customers for our farmers , and i
we do not want that sort of people to'
furnish the goods we use. We will not
compete with them in making their
kind of rags , of lanterns , or firecrackers -
ers , or fans , or sun umbrellas , and we
will be very foolish to let them supplant -
plant us in the more substantial manufactures -
factures , by which the millions of home
customers of our farmers get their
living.-The Commercial , Louisville , I

Railroads are not exempt from the
general depression in this country
caused by the Wilson tariff , so-called. I .
think our Democratic friends , or many
of them , not only see it , but feel it , and
I hope they will get enough of it. For
railroads give us a Protective Tariff and I
for all other kinds of business. '

getic become enervated. You know just
what we mean. Some men and women
endeavor temporarily to overcome that
Tired
reeling by great force of will. But this
fs unsafe as it pulls powerfully upon the
nervous system , which will notlongstand
such strain. Too many people "work on
theirnerves , " and the result is seen in unfortunate -
fortunate wrecks marked "nervous prostration -
tration , " in every direction. That tired ,
lug is a positive proof of thin , weak , Impure -
pure blood ; for , if the blood is rich , red ,
vitalized and vigorous , it imparts lifeand
energy to every nerve , organ and tissue
of the body. The necessity of taking

MEDICAL DISCOVERYI
DONALD KENNEDY , OF ROXBURY , MASS , ,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor , from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple :
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases , and never failed excegt in two rases
( both thunder humor ) . He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value , all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle , and a perfect cure is warranted -
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains , like needles passing
through them ; the same with the Liver 4
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped , and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
tile best you ci.l get , and enough of it.
Dose , one tablespoonful in water at bed-
time. Sold by all Druggists.
