WEAKNESS OF MONEY.
REV. THOMAS DIXON ON THE POVfSTY-OF
SOME MONEYED MEN.
Money Cannot Buy a Real Home or
True Affection or the Life of
Loved One?Jay Gould and Mrs.
Booth.
Cape Charles, Va.?Bev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., preached today the fourth
sermon in the series on the "Almighty
Dollar, or the Problem of
Money and the Gospel of Christ," in
the Methodist church on Cobb's
island. Since the first Sunday the
crowds are so large the building cannot
accommodate them. The text
chosen was Proverbs xi, 28, "He that
trusteth in his riches shall fall." *
Let no man believe that money in
?*w s~ itself is an omnipotent power?that
money in itself is the power that
rules the world. There never was a
greater blunder. There never was a
sadder mistake. As a matter of fact,
money in itself is the weakest Ahing
?
UU ULLia C??I Ul.
First?It cannot even make a gentleman.
We see strutting down the
streets of a great western city a man
who suddenly became possessed of a
fortune of $1,000,000. He purchased
his paper from the newsboy on the
corner, and in his grandiloquent way
when the little fellow handed him
jr back his change, returned it to the
boy, saying, "Keep your money,
sonny, keep the chang^^jj^yp^
self up, and handing back the money
-?3-' "Tftto rnnv r>f?n
lllUi^lillUUjr (cp?.u, j ~f
nies and go and buy a book on etiquette
and learn bow to be a gentleman/'
Tbe possession of money
does not even imply that a man is a
gentleman.
Second?It cannot make a home.
- A man may own houses by the possession
of money, but money in itself
cannot build a homo. I know men
who own miles of houses who do not
have a home. To posseess a house
is one thing, a home another thing.
The poor man who believes he can
buy it with money makes as grave a
mistake as the millionaire who tries
to construct his ideal in the palace
on the crowning hilt. It is 3aid that
?
an Irishman, who was so ugly that
he could find nobody who would
marry him in the old world, came to
America to try his fortune. As he
walked the streets he saw a sign
which read, "Families supplied.''
He went in at the side door and
asked tiie clerk 11 iamrnes were supplied.
The gentleman behind the
counter replied that they were. He
ran his hand in his pocket, drew out
his greasy wallet and began to unroll
hie money. He said to the clerk,
4T will take a wife and two children."
This impossible story but states in
the concrete a truth so simple and
^ yet so Vrd for man to learn that the
brightest dream of the soul of man
cannot be had in life for money?silver,
gold or bank notes.
Equally impossible is it for the
man of millions to build a home out
of his money. On Knob hill, in San
Francisco, there are magnificent
palaces that cost millions whose
* ? ^ lrt oro AT'ovorrAxrn
L>rUttU S ? lev r> uo vTv,i^iV"*i
with tangled grass?, whose doors are
locked and bolted and barred. One
* of them was owned by a great millionaire
senator. Why this desolation
now? He built it for a home.
It cost millions. Simply because he
walked over the threshold of that
house one day behind the coffin of
the only child he had in the world.
As he crossed the door of his palace
home he declared, "I will never cross
the threshold of this house again if
I live to be 100 years old!" He sent
carpenters, bolted and barred and
nailed the palace up, and he has
prnsspd the dnnrsill since.
Money is a mighty power, and yet
it is the weakest thing in the world.
It cannot make a man u gentleman.
It cannot give-a man a home. And
if a man has no home and is not a
gentleman, what is he?
Third?So weak is money in itself
that it cannot give a man life. A
policeman on the force of New York
who has been a brave and faithful
officer, who broke up several gangs
of roughs in several quarters of the
?ity, who tramped his beat with a

and brave the dangers of the storms
of winter and the swelteiing suns of
summer, to go on his dark errand of
| arrest in the dangerous quarters of
! the city, when he might have lived j
j his life of ease and luxury? Simply
; because there was a little country
' girl whom he had learned to love
who died three weeks before, and he
declared that life was not worth living
because she had been taken from
him. He had money and all its
power, and life was not worth living.
MONEY VERSUS WEALTH.
Fourth?Money is so weak that it
cannot even give a man wealth. WT8
?
| are apt to confuse wealth with
| inone}\ A man may have money,
but not be rich. Real riches are one
j thing, money another. I heard of a
j grocer who was growing rich. They
I said, by way of parenthesis that he
' was so stingy and mean that he
would chase a fly all around the room
for Br grain of sugar. Riches are
impossible under such conditions,
j Such a man may accumulate money
possess it?out Be
The Duke of Brunswick had accumulated
his treasures. He had
his wealth in diamonds and gold.
He had a room built whose windows
: were of iron bars, whose doors were
J ...Ul A ..r11 l\Avn troci
> OI ll'OII, UUUUltJ I1VCICVI. iucic nuo
I an opening in the solid stone wall of
the room in which there was an iron
r"-*^ ? tii <*?Mur?ei -were -there
placed. He slept in an iron bed:
stead rolled against this iron door.
There was only a single window
| through whose dim light the sun
greeted him. He slept with two
enormous pistols by his bedside and
with a light always in the room.
Was this man rich? Did he possess
his wealth, or did his wealth possess
him? As a matter of fact, he was a
miserable dog chained to his treasures.
I had rather be a common cur
I _ ^
1 dog and wander through the streets
and highways than to be such a man
shut up in a dog kennel forever.
THE RUSSIANS BED.
Was the Russian nobleman rich
who owned his vast acres and his
millions, who proudly displayed his
treasures to his friends, in the pos
I session of them? He took the
stranger through every room in his
house, showed him each art treasure,
j while he wondered at their beauty
and value. He took him into his
bedchamber, showed him the magniheant
tapestries, wonderful eastern
m/\wTT/,lAua i
I LLC LaJC LLZCkl > C1UUO
with its quaint carving, its inlaid
precious stones. The Russian fairly
swelled with pride as he looked down
on this bed, the laces on which were
I
worth their weight in gold. "But is
j it not magnificent?" he asked his
guest. The guest replied that it
was certainly the incst wonderful
bed he had ever seen. "With a sly
wink the Russian replied: "But you
do not suppose, man, that I sleep on
top of that? I sleep under here."
He lifted the covering and showed a
I mean trundle bed beneath the great
! bed. You could not make a man
! like that ricli. Put him in a palace;
] give him a bed worth a million dollars
to sleep in; he would not sleep
in ii; he would go out and sleep with
the dog. It is his nature. ? He has
1 not the capacity for riches.
Wealth is not a question of arith- I
! metic merely; it is a question of
: capacity, of power in the possessor, j
MONEY A FICTION.
Fifth?Money in itself is so I
| weak that it has no intrinsic value. I
Money, whether it be of gold or of !
silver or of paper, has in itself no in- j
heient value. The goldbug believes |
i that gold is the cure for all ills. The i
silver fanatic declares that the evils j
|
I of the financial world are due to the
I demonetization of silver. And the
' greenback dreamer declares that all
we need is for government to print
: the money. Now, as a matter of fact,
j the man who supposes that either
paper or silver or gold or coppei
have in themselves any intrinsic value
makes a fundamental error. Monej
I in itself has no value. It is valua!
ble not in itself, but for what it signifies
in the community.
Suppose that a millionaire turn
his fortune into gold. Suppose Mr.
Gould had liquidated all his posses
sions in business, placed the result.
$75,000,000, in his yacht and started
around the world in a pleasure tour.
Suppose he had been cast on a
desert island, his vessel wrecked, he
alone surviving, having saved his
money. He piles it up in the sand;
there it lies. He sits down on it and
- ? 1 i 1 TT
proceeds to starve to ueatn. now
much is he worth as he sits oil that
pile of yellow mold? He is worth
nothing. He is a pauper; he is a
beggar. The gold is all there. The
coin is of due weight. It is not
short, has not been injured in the
transit; it does not tarnish in the
wale**. And yet he is worth nothing.
Suppose a passing vessel takes him
aboard, transport him to New York
with his money and again lands him
in Wall street. He has his money
in the vaults of the Safe Deposit
company. How much now is he
worth? He is worth the face value
of his coin?$75,000,000. Why?
Because the community gives to this
metal the supposed value. Wealth
is power over men. Money is wealth
as it is power over men.
The true value of money is a communal
value. It is one that is bound
up with the heart blood of the whole
community. It is one that comes in
and through the community. No
man therefore has the right to do
what he pleases with what he may
possess. A man's money is not simply
bis own. It belongs in one sense
?and a high sense?to the communif-o
"V.-w man a. richfc tr? dr>
what he pleases with what he may
possess. A man only has the right
to do not what he pleases, but
what he ought to do. Money is
power. All power is a trust. '
? n i n?
Sixth?As a matter, of fact, money
is so weak that it does not touch the
heart range of real life. A millionaire
died the other day and was
buried, and nobody cared as to where
he was buried. It was a matter of
no importance. As to the incidents
of his death, they did not touch the
heart of the people. He owned
money enough to shake the financial
world from ocean to ocean.

who had no money, but thousands
thronged to her bier and begged the
privilege of looking on her dead face.
For days and weeks the procession
filed by the body. Day and night,
an unceasing stream, thousands and
hundreds cf thousands of eagar faces,
looked into her face with love and
with infinite tenderness. Men who
had been lifted from the ditch and
the gutter and clothed and in their
right minds stood over the coffin and
cried like children. Women . who
had been abandoned to all hope and
life and who had been snatched as a
brand from the burning stood with
tear stained faces and kissed the
cold lips with passionate love.
A mother passed by the bier and
looked with longing eyes into the
face of the dead. Those who were
standing in line, impatient to see,
fearful lest the body would be removed
before they could have their
longed for look, cried to her that she
must move on. She lifted her
streaming eyes to them and replied;
''Let others move on. I have the
right to stay. I have the right to
look into her dead face. She saved
my child." Kings and princes and
nobles, emperors and chiefs of the
race, have been buried in pomp.
Nations have done honor to their
honored dead. But this earth never
saw such a funeral as that which was
spontaneously, was resistlessly given
to Mrs. Booth, the mother of the Salvation
Army. Wealth has been defined
to be power over men. Money
does not touch the highest realm of
this power.
MANHOOD OR MONEY?
Seventh?A word from the lips of
man, backed by manhood, can do
whnt all the cold of earth cannot ac
" o
complish.
Money is a mighty power, but
manhood is a mightier one.
Wealth is power over men. Let
us see what can be done with money.
When Napoleon was engaged in one
of his great wars, you remember that
the town of Ratisbon was taken.
He deputed his chief marshal to do
this work. Ratisbon was a walled
town, maetieallv imnretrnnble. Xa
J i ? i w
poleon saw that it was the key to
the situation. The marshal commissioned
his officer to do the work.
He drew up his soldiers before the
town and called for volunteers. Immediately
the number of men called
for stepped forward. They were

still a sufficient number, all that ha
, ! been called for. Again they rushe

assault, and again every man fe

i turned to tell the story of the stru<

enough to induce those soldiers t
charge over that pyramid of the dea<
over those walls.
But you remember what happenec
The marshal himself, seeing thes
two fruitless charges and seeing th
failure of the officer to enlist for th
third assault, rushed himself befor
the line, and snatching the standari
from the standard bearer, turning t
the men, he said to them with hi
face flashing with the electric fire o
his great personality, "Soldiers,
will show you that a marshal o
France was once 'a grenadier!

other hand, he rushed toward th

Let u> be sure that no Christia:
can engage in the modern brute wa
of money in itself. That struggl
and all that it signifies I would ai
raign and impeach in the name c
the widow and the orphan; in th
name of the hungry, and the horn*
less, and the despairing; in the nam
of the weak, and the downtroddei
and the oppressed; in the name c
your potter's field and its clustering
institutions. Christianity mean
weakness ruling strength. Th
work of the Christian is not to see
money for itself, of itself. The worl
may be mad in its struggle fo
money in itself. Men may forge
humanity in that struggle. It ma
be impossible for the Christia
today to convince the world that th
wona is wrong, it may oe nupot
sible for us to revolutionize at one
the methods of a social organizatio
which makes the seeking of mone;
in itself the end and aim. of life.
THE DIVINE ORATORIO.
However this may be, it is tin
duty of the Christian to live his lift
to play his part, to sing his owi
song, whatever be the chaos, the con
fusion, the disorder about him. Ii
thus playing his own part he wil
bring the world at last into harmonj
just as that singer in the choi
brought order out of disorder, hai
mony out of discord. A great rnusi

and through the discord caught th
single note of a sweet soprano voic

to drown the voices of the others
either those of the choir out of tun

She simply sang her own part, ii
lier own time, m ner own way. an
was singing it to a leader unliear<
by others. She was keeping time t
the harmony of her own soul.
So struck was he by the weir<
effect of this voice, singing in th
midst of the din and roar, that h
removed his hand from his car i
listen. Sweeter and sweeter grei
the voice until presently one of thos

In a few moments the whole choi
were in tune and this voice leading

church building was Hooded with

soul resistless power.
So the Christian is called upon t
play his part. So he is called u;?o
to sing his divine oratorio of th
ages. The time comes to every ma

Upon this motion, Delegate Cochan
of Missouri took the floor in oposition
to any and all efforts to say
r do anything in this convention
pon the money question other than ^
3 fully and entirely endorse the free .
oinage of silver.
Taylor replied in defense of his prop .,
sition, urging that money based on

loney based upon the honor of our j
overnment, as are the $346,000,000

For the majority of the committee a
n resolutions, Governor Tillman of o
louth Carolina spoke briefly, declar- n
ig that it was the desire of his com- n
littee to concentrate the efforts of ti
be convention upon the central pur- 1
ose, bi-inetallism, and for that rea- 8
on it seemed to them unwise to seek a

fiation it was impossible to secure ^
ny other form of financial legisla- "
ion. As to the West and South, S
bey could control the policies of the b
ountry if it l?ecame necessary. He g
eclared his belief that there were c
lillions of money now in Washing- c<
5n with which to buy Congress, and, n
dth such a condition, the South and o:
Vest must unite. ai
Delegate Manning of Alabama de- h
lared the readiness of the South for B
nion with the West in battle for s<
ree coinage, but pleade'd for the ex b
lusion of extraneous matter from

At the afternoon session, pending p
ction upon the report of the resolu- tl
ons committee, a resolution was of- tl
?red providing in the event of a fail- w
re of Congress to provide adequately ^
)r the use of silver as money, for the
ailing of a national convention in C
anuary, 189-1, under the auspices of T
le Governors of Missouri, South tl
larolina, Kansas and Colorado, in- v<
luding delegates from every State b
nd Territory, labor and agricultural fc
rganization, to take action looking
) a thorough agitation of the ques- li
on before another election. y:

As Governor Lewellen closed, Govrnor
Tillman rose and the two Govmora
grasped hands in a common
fiatform, and cheers which subsided
nly when the convention exhausted
tself.
At the cessation of the cheers, the
uestion was put on the majority re?ort
of the committee on resolutions,
nd it was adopted unanimously in
arm as reported.
The resolutions providing for the
all of a national convention in Janary
was withdrawn, and after the
ransaction of some minor business,

adjourned sine die, having first

We carefully read the State papers
epreseting both political factions,
nd there is cot a shadow of doubt
11 our mind that the people's movelent
is stronger today than ever, and
ext year the farmers will elect their
icket by a larger majority than in .
892. The Antis have practically
ived up the fight, and it is not probble
that they will put out any State
icket at the coming contest, but rely
n Reformers quarrelling among
bemselves and splitting up. It was
uce their intention to steal a march
n the farmers by putting a bogus

aeir scheme was exposed and they
iild in this. They will now center
aeir entire strength on returning
enator Butler, and hope with the
acking that President Cleveland will
ive them to be able to elect enough
lembers of the Legislature to acDmplish
this end. There is no deying
the fact that the whole power
f the Administration is behind Sentor
Butler, for Cleveland had rather
ave old Satan in the Senate than
len Tillman of South Carolina. We ^
?e that Senator Butler has not only
een given the privilege of naming
veiy Federal appointment, but he is
pen getting positions for many of
is constituents on the street railway
i Washington.
But Grover Cleveland cannot buy
p and corrupt the people of
outh Carolina as his henchman
id those Chicago delegates. He
lay secure the influence of a few so
died leaders by the gift of patronge,
but the unperchasable voters of
ur State, when they see a man reudiating
the principles for which
ley are battling and consorting with
i_
JC puiiLiv-iti ciicLLiics ui i/ue people,
ill spurn his counsel and leadership,
fall street ruay buy up individuals,
ut neither can those gold kings or
rrover Cleveland buy the people,
he Reform ranks are fast getting
linned of renegades and time serf's,
and those who have left have
een weighed in the balances and
>und as true as steel.
Let our people just keep up the
ck they are now making, and don't
ield an inch. Every hour they are
etting better educated in regard to
le great issues of the day, and we
ave no fear that they will ever falter
c turn back. "We have our foes on
le run, and must keep them so. All
aat the Anti organs can now do is
) spit fire at and slander our Reform
>aders, but no one cares for them.
