OU cannot keep a
good man down.
God has deireed
\ for him a certain
' ' point of elevation.
He will bring him
to that though it
cost him a thousand -
sand worlds. You
sometimes find men
, fearful they will
not lie properly ap-
preciated. Every man comes to be val-
ueci.at just what ho is worth. You cannot -
not trite him up , and you cannot write
him down. These facts are powerfully
illustrated in my subject. It would be
an insult to suppose that you were not
all familiar with the life of Joseph.
How his jealous brothers threw him
into a pit , but seeing a caravan of Anra-
bian merchants trudging along on theirr
camels , with spices and gums that
loaded the air with aroma , sold their
brother to these merchants , who carried
him down into Egypt ; Joseph was there
sold to Potiphar , a man of influence and
office. How by Joseph's integrity he
raised himself to a high position in the
realm , until under the false charge of a
vile wretch he was hurled Into the peni-
tentiary. How In prison he commanded -
ed respect and confidence. How by the
Interpretation of Pharaoh'b dream ho
was freed and became the chief man
in the realm , the Bismarck of his cen-
tury. How in the time of famine Joseph -
seph had the control of a magnificent
storehouse which he had filled during
seven years of plenty. How when his
brothers , who had thrown him into the
pit and sold him into captivity , applied
for corn , he sent them home with the
beasts of 'burden borne down under
the heft of the corn sacks. How the
sin against their brother which had so
long been hidden came out at last and
was returned by that brother's forgiveness -
ness and kindness-the only revenge
ho took.
You see , in the first place , that the
world is compelled to honor Christian
character. Potiphar was only a man of
the world , yet Joseph rose in his estimation -
mation until all the affairs of that great
house were committed to his charge.
From his servant no honor or confidence -
dence was withheld. When Joseph
was in prison he soon won the heart
of the keeper , and though placed there
for being a scoundrel , he soon convinced -
vinced the jailer that he was an innocent -
cent and trustworthy man , and released -
leased from close confinement he became -
came general superintendent of prison
affairs. Wherever Joseph was placed ,
whether a servant in the house of Poti-
phar , or a prisoner in the penitentiary ,
he became the first man everywhere ,
and is an illustration of the truth I
lay down , that the world is compelled
to honor Christian character. There
are those who effect to despise a religious -
ligious life. They speak of it as a
system of phlebotomy by which the
man is bled of all his courage and no-
bility. They say he has bemoaned
. himself. They pretend to have no more
confidence in him since his conversion
than before his conversion. But all
this is hypocrisy. There is a great
deal of hypocrisy in the church and
there is a great deal of hypocrisy outside -
- side the church. It is impossible for
any man not to admire and confide in
a man who shows that he has really
become a child of God , and Is what he
professes to be. You cannot despise a
son of the Lord God Almighty. Of
course we have no admiration for the
sham of religion.
I was at a place a few hours after
the ruffians had gone into the rail-train
and demanded that the passengers
throw up their arms , and then these
ruffians , took the poc'setbooks ; and
Satan comes and suggests to a man
that he throw up his arms in a hypocritical -
critical prayer and pretension , and
then he steals his soul. For the mere
pretension of religion we has abhor-
rence. Redwald , the king , after baptism -
tism , had an altar of Christian sacrifice
and an altar for sacrifice to devils ; and
there are many men now attempting
the same thing-half a heart for God
and half a heart for the world-and it
is a dead failure , and it is a caricature
of religion , and the only successful assault -
sault ever made on Christianity is the
inconsistency of its professors. You
may have a contempt for pretension
to religion , but when you behold the
excellency of Jesus Chrisf come out in
the life of one of his disciples , all there
is good and noble in your soul rises up
into admiration , and you cannot help
it. Though'that man be as far beneath
you in estate as the Eyptian slave of
whom we are discoursing was beneath
his rulers , by an irrevocable law of
your nature , Potiphar and Pharaoh
will always esteem Joseph. When
Eudoxia , the empress , threatened
Chrysostom with death he made the
reply : "Tell the empress I fear nothing -
ing but sin. Such a scene as that
compels the admiration of the world.
. There was something in Agrippa and
Felix which demanded their respect for
Paul , the rebel against government I
doubt not they would willingly have
yielded their office and dignity for a
thousandth part of that true heroism
which beamed in the eye and beat in
the heart of the unconquerable apostle.
Paul did not cower before Felix ; Felix
cowered before Paul _ The infidel and
worldling are compelled to honor in
their hearts , although they may not
eulogize with their lips , a Christian
firm in persecution , cheerful in poverty -

seam. In find Christian men in all
professions and occupations , and I find
them respected and honored and suc-
cessful. John Frederick Oberlin alleviating -
leviating ignorance and distress ; Howard -
ard passing from dungeon to lazaretto
with healing for the body and soul ;
Elizabeth Fry going to the profligacy
of Newgate Prison to shake its obduracy -
acy as the angel came to the prison at
Philippi , driving open the doors and
snapping loose the chain , as well as
the lives of thousands of followers of
Jesus who have devoted themselves to
the temporal and spiritual welfare of
the race , are monuments of the Christian -
tian religion that shall not crumble
while the world lasts. A man said to
me in the cars : "What is religion ?
Judging from the character of many
professors of religion I do not admire -
mire religion. " I said : "Now suppose -
pose we went to an artist in the city of
Rome and while in his gallery asked
him , 'What is the art of painting ? '
would ho take us out in a low alley
and show us a mere daub of a pretender -
tender at painting ? or would he take
us' ' down into the corridors and show ,
us the Rubens and the Raphaels and
the Michael Angeles ? ' When we
asked him , 'What is the art of paint-
ing' ho would point to the works of
these great masters and say , 'That is
painting. ' Now , you propose to find
the mere caricature of r llgion , to seek
after that which is the mere pretension -
sion of a holy life , and you call that
religion. I point you to the splendid
men and women whom this gospel has
blessed and lifted and crowned. Look
at the masterpieces of Divine grace if
you want to know what religion is. "
We learn also from this story of
Joseph that the result of persecution
is elevation. Had it not been for his
being sold into Egyptian bondage by
his malicious brothers , and his false
imprisonment , Joseph never would have
become a governor. Everybody accepts -
cepts the promise , "Blessed are they
that are persecuted for righteousness
sake , for theirs is the Kingdom of.
Heaven , " but they do not realize the
fact that this principle applies to worldly -
ly as well as spiritual success. It Is
true in all departments. Men rise to
high official positions through mis-
representation. Public abuse is all that
some of our public men have had to
rely upon for their elevation. It has
brought to them what talent and executive -
ecutive force could not have achieved.
Many of those who are making great
effort for place' and power will never
succeed , just because they are not of
enough importance to ho abused. It
is the nature of men-that is of all
generous and reasonable men-to gather -
er about those who are persecuted and
defend them , and they are apt to forget -
get the fault of those who are the subjects -
jects of4 attack while attempting to
drive back the slanderers. Persecution -
tion is elevation. Helen Stirk , the
Scotch martyr , standing with her husband -
band at the place of execution , said :
"Husband , let us rejoice today ; we have
lived together many happy years ; this
in the happiest time of all our life ; you
see we are to be happy together for-
aver. Be brave now , be brave. I will
not say 'Good night' to you for we shall
soon. be in the kingdom of our Father
together. " Persecution shows the heroes -
roes and heroines. I go into another
department and I find that those great
denominations of Christians which
have been most abused have spread the
most rapidly. No good man was ever
more violently maltreated than John
Wesley-belied and caricatured and
slandered until one day be stood in a
pulpit in London , and a man arose 1n
the audience and said : "You were
drunk last night , " and John Wesley
said : "Thank God , the whole catalogue -
logue is now complete. I have been
charged with everything but that ! "
His followers were hooted at and maligned -
ligned and called by every detestable
name that infernal ingenuity could invent -
vent , but the hotter the persecution
the more rapidly they spread , until you
know what a great host they have become -
come and what a tremendous force forGed
God and the truth they are wielding
all the world over. It was persecution
that gave Scotland to Presbyterianism.
ft was persecution that gave our land
first to civil liberty and afterward to
religious freedom. Yea , I might go
further back and say it was persecution -
tion that gave the world the great salvation -
vation of the Gospel. The ribald mock
cry , the hungering and thirsting , the
unjust charge , the ignominious death ,
when all the force of hell's fury was
hurled against the cross , was the introduction -
troduction of that religion which is yet
to be the earth's deliverance and our
eternal salvation. The state sometimes -
times said to the church , "Come take
my hand and I will help you. " What
was the result ? The church went
back and it lost its estate of holiness ,
rnd it became ineffective. At other
times the state said to the church , "I
will crush you. " What was the result ?
After the storms have spent their fury
the church , so far from having lost any
of its force , has increased and is worth
infinitely more after the assault than
before. Read all history and you will
find that true. The church Is far more
indebted to the opposition of civil government -
ernment than to its approval. The
fires of the stake have only been the
torches which Christ held in his hand ,
by the light of which the church has
marched to her present glorious posi-
tion. In the sound of racks and implements -
plements of torture I hear the rumbling
of the Gospel chariot. The scaffolds
of martyrdom have been the titairs by
which the 'church mounted.
Learn , also from pur subject that sin
will come to exposure. Long , long
ago had those brothers sold Joseph Into -
to Egypt They had made the old
father believe that his favorite child
was dead. They had suppressed the
crime , and it was a profound secret well
kept by the brothers. But suddenly
the secret i3 out. The old father li ors
1
S
that his son is in Egypt , having beet
sold there by the malice of his own
brothers. How their cheeks must have
burped and their hearts sunk at the
naming opt of this long suppressed
crime. The smallest iniquity has a
thousand tongues , and they will bleb
out exposure. Saul was sent to destroy
the Canaanites , their sheep and their
oxen ; but when he got down there
among the pastures he saw some fine
sheep and oxen too fat to kill , so ho
thought he would steal them. Nobody
would know it , He drove these stolen
sheep and oxen toward home , but
stopped to report to the prophet how he
had executed his mission , when in the
distance the sheep began to bleat and
the oxen to bellow. The secret was out ,
and Samuel said to the blushing and
confused Saul : , "What meaneth the
bleating of the sheep that I hear and
the bellowing of the cattle ? " Ah ! my
hearer , you cannot keep an iniquity
still. At just the wrong time the sheep
will bleat and the oxen will bellow.
Achan cannot steal the Babylonish
garment without being stoned to death ,
nor Arnold betray his country without
having his neck stretched. Look over
the police arrests. These thieves , these
burglars ; these counterfeiters , these
highwaymen , these assassins , they all
thought they could bury their iniquity
so deep down , it would never come to
resurrcotion ; but there was some shin
that answered to the print in the soil ,
some false keys found in their possession -
sion , some bloody knife that whispered
of the death , and the public indignation
and the anathema of outraged law
hurled them into the dungeon or hoisted
them on the gallows. Francis I. , king
of France , stood counseling with his officers -
ficers how he would take his army into
Italy , when Ameril , the fool of the
court , leaped out from a corner of the
room and said : "You had better be consulting -
sulting how you will get your arm ; '
back ; " and it was found that Francis I. , '
and not Ameril , was the fool. Inste
of consulting as to the best way of getting -
ting into sin , you had better consult es
to whether you will be able to get out of
it. If the world does not expose you ,
you will tell it yourself. There is an
awful power in an aroused conscience.
A highwayman plunged out 'lpon
Whitefield as he rode along on horseback -
back , a sack of money on the horse-
money that he had raised for orphan
asylums , and the highwayman put his
hand on the gold and Whitefield turned
to him and said : "Touch that if you
dare-that belongs to the Lord Jesus
Christ. " And the ruffian slunk into the
forest. Conscience ! Conscience ! The
huflan had a pistol , but Whitefield
shook at him the finger of doom. Do
not think you can hide any great and
protracted sin in your heart , my
brother. In an unguarded moment It
will slip off the lip , or some slight
action may for the moment set ajar this
door that you wanted to keep closed.
But suppose that in this life you hide
it , and you get along with this trans.
gression burning in your heart , as a
ship on fire within for days hinders the
flames from bursting out by keeping
down the hatches , yet at last in the
judgment that iniquity will blaze . "
before God and the universe.
Learn also from this subject that
there is an inseparable connection between -
tween all events however remote. The
universe is only one thought of God.
Those thlugs which seemed fragment-
tar'y and isolated are only different
parts of that great thought. How far
apart seemed these two events-Joseph
sold to the Arabian merchants and his
rulersnip of Egypt , yet you see in what
a mysterious way God connected the
two into one plan. So the events are
linked together. You who are aged
men look back and group together a
thousand things in your life that once
seemed isolated. One chain of undi-
vicled events reaches from the Garden
of Eden to the Cross of Calvary , and
thus up to the Kingdom of Heaven.
There is a relation between the smallest
insert that hums in the summer air and
the archangel on his throne.

Annual Loss on Crops in Four Years. 728 7.31,2 7d
Total Annual LoSs to Farmers . $ iAf2,55,473 :
This stupendous loss of nearly a
billion and a half dollars has fallen
upon American farmers since the McKinley -
Kinley tariff period of 1891 and 1892.
It takes no account of the shrinkage
in the value of the rice crop , of the
crops of nurserymen , of seedsmen , or
of the enormous supply of farm truck
from market gardens , or of our dairy
products or hog products.
It is noteworthy that the aggregate
annual shrinkage in values is practically -
cally the same for live stock as for the
staple farm crops. This is interesting
because many were inclined to attribute -
ute the losses in the value of live stock
to some extraneous causes , whereas the
fact that both live stock and staple
crops have suffered equally only tends
to strengthen the belief in the ruinous

effect of the "deadly blight" of Democracy -
cracy upon American farms.
Farmers are well aware of the disaster -
aster that has befallen them since 1392 ,
and the cause of it. They have looked
back with regret to the era of our
greatest prosperity under the Protective -
tive tariff that hears the name of Hon.
William McKinley. They have felt the
effects of a lower tariff-a Democratic
tariff , with its "touch" of free-trade upon -
on our sheep and wool industries. They
know that they need a restoration of
the McKinley tariff rates upon their
all other products -
own products , and upon
ucts and manufactures of the United
States. Nothing less than this will
restore to the farmer- the conditions of
1890 to 1892. They demand ; they insist -
sist upon ; andthey will vote for , next
November , a restoration of a tariff
policy that will not give less Protection -
tion to American farmers than the McKinley -
Kinley tariff did , because they want ,
and are in need of , a return to the
McKinley protection period and its
prosperity. They demand similar
American statesmanship. Nothing less
will satisfy them.
How Connecticut Feels.
I beg you to make no mistake about
the temper of the American people ;
they propose to bring about the return
of that Protection ender which there
was work for all , acrd comfort for all ;
that Protection that shall fill our National -
tional Treasury and the pockets of our
laborers ; that Protection which shall
keep our gold at home for the natural
unforced redemption of our paper currency -
rency , and whatever policy puts itself
in the waY of such return will be smitten -
ten by the mighty hand of popular
sentiment.-United States Senator 0. H.
Platt of Connecticut.
End of the Free Trrdo Rope.
Representative Grosvenor said , fn
speaking of the present condition of
National political afi'-aairs , that "there

never was a time in the history of the
United States when there was greater
demand for Republican statesmanship
than there is now. Whether this Congress - .
gress will be able to achieve anything
I do not know , but I do know that the
' House o : Representatives , with its great
Republican majority , has already made
an impression upon the business of the
country. " This is true. Whatever the
present Congress shall be able to do ,
the people are confident that the Free-
Trade party in this country has reached
the end of its power to work destruction -
tion to American Industries. The Gorman -
man Tariff act may remain for the
present inviting ruinous competition to
American industries , but its doom is
sealed ; the hours of its life of destructive -
tive work are becoming less and less.
Montana for Protection.
I am a firm believer in the policy of
Protection to American labor and
American industries. A large majority
of the people of Montana are devoted
to this doctrine , and they have consistently -
sistently supported it , notwithstanding
they are purchasers of Protected articles -
ticles generally and only receive a
meager direct benefit through the duties
on lead and wool. Their adherence to
the doctrine rests on broad , patriotic
views of enlightened national policy.-
Hon. Thomas H. Carter , U. S. S. , of
Montana.

On January 1 , 1892 , the market price
of No. 2 Milwaukee barley was 571/
'cents a bushel. Granulated sugar was
quoted at 4 cents a pound the same day ,
therefore a bushel of barley was worth
141/ pounds of sugar. Four years later ,
January 1 , I896 , barley was worth 321/
cents and sugar 5 cents. The farmer's
bushel of barley could be exchanged for
only 61/ pounds of sugar.
Pennsylvanian on Protection.
Hon. John Dalzell , M. C. , of Pennsylvania -
sylvania , recently said : "What this
country wants is more revenues
through the custom houses , more men
in the mines , more blazing furnaces ,
more factories , more hills , the music
of more spindles , more and cheaper
transportation facilities , a wider field
for labor , an enlarged home market ,
more consumption to stimulate production -
tion , to increase wages and to decrease
the hours of labor. " These necessary
and much desired conditions can only
be brought about by a return to the
policy of Protection to American industries -
dustries , such as we enjoyed in 1891 and
1592 , when our industries were protected -
tected and our treasury receipts were
adequate to meet the requirements of
the government.
True Progress Possible.
True progress is only possible when
the farmer- finds the market for his
produce in the neighboring towns , and
the manufacturer a market for his
goods among the surrounding farmers ;
hence the importance of such a policy
to the Southern people as will result
in the opening of our mines , the manufacturing -
facturing of our timber and the utilization -
zation of the unsurpassed water power
within our borclers.-Hon. Teter C.
Pritchard , U. S. S. , of North Carolina.
