POWER OF EXAMPLE. j REV. DR. TALMAGE ON THE LESSON OF ABIMELECH. I i The Folly of Depending Upon One Form of Tactics?The Advantage of Concerted Action?The Danger of False Refuges?A Safe Tower. Washington, Jan. 26.?In his sermon j for today Rev. Dr. Talmage took for his subject "The Power cf Example." The text selected was Judges 9, 4S: "And ! Abimelech took an ax in his hand and j cut down a bough from the trees and ! took it and laid it on his shoulder and j said unto the people that wero with j him, What ye have seen me do make j haste and do as I have done. Aud all ! iho people likewise cut down every man his bough." Abimelech is a name malodorous in Bible history and yet full of profitable suggestion. Buoys are black and uncomely, but they tell where the rocks are. The snake's rattle is hideous, but it gives timely warning. From the piazza of my summer home night by night I saw a lighthouse 15 miles away, not placed there' for adornment, but to tell mariners to stand off from that dangerous point. So all the iron bound coast of moral danger is marked with Saul and Herod and Rehoboam and Jezebel aud Abimelech. These bad people are mentioned in the Biblo% not only as warnings, but because there were sometimes flashes of good conduct in their lives worthy of imitation. God sometimes drives a very straight nail with a very poor hammer. The city of Shechem had to bo taken, and Abimelech and his men were to do it. I see the dust rolling up from their excited march. I hear the shouting of the captains and the yell of the besiegers. The swords clack sharply on tho parrying shields, and the vociferation | of two armies in death grapple is horriI bio to hear. Tho battle goes on all day, ; and as tho sun is setting Abimelech and j his army cry "Surrender!" to the beatj en foe, and, unable longer to resist, tho J city of Shechem falls, and there are ' pools of blood ami dissevered nmus ana i glazed eyes looking up beggiugly for ; mercy that war never shows, and dying i soldiers with their head on the lap of > mother or wife or sister, who have ecme ; out for the last offices of kindness and | affection, and a groan rolls across the city, stopping not, because there is no ; spot for it to rest, so full is the place of other groans. A city wounded! A city ! dying! A city dead! Wail for Shecliem, ; all ye who know the honors of a sacked town. A Strange Aruiy. As I lock over the city I f:nd only one ! building standing, and that is the temi pie of the god Berith. Some soldiers j outside of the city in a tower, finding that they can no longer defend Shechem, ! now begin to lock out for their own | personal safety, and they fly to this j temple of Berith. They go within the ! door, shut it, and they say: "Now we j are safe. Abimelech has taken the whole city, but he caunot tako this temple of ! Berith. Here we shall be under the proi tection of the gcds." 0 Berith, the i god, do yonr best now for these refugees. ' If you have eyes, pity them. If you ! have hands, help them. If you have j thunderbolts, strike for them. But how j shall Abimelech and his army take this 1 temple of Berith and the men who are ; there fortified? Will they do it with tho i sword? Nay. Will they do it with the j spear? Nay. With tho battering ram I rolled up by hundred armed strength j crashing against the walls? Nay. Abimi elech marches his men to a wood in Zalmon. With bis ax he hews off a limb of a tree and puts that limb upon his shoulder, and then he says to his j men, "You do the same." They are obedient to their comrnand! er. There is a strugglo as to who shall j have axes. The whole wood is full of bending boughs, and the crackling and the hacking, and the cutting, until every one of the host has a limb of a tree cut down, and not only that, but has nut it on his shoulder just as Abimelech showed hiin how. Are these men all armed with the tree branch? The reply comes, "All armed." And they march oil. Oh, what a strange army, with that strange equipment! They come up to the foot cf the temple at Berith, and Abimelech takes his limb of a tree and i throws it down, and the first platoon of | soldiers come up, and they throw down I their branches, and the second platoon, | and the third, until all around about the I temple of Berith there is a pile of tree | branches. The Shechemites look out from the window of the temple upon what seems to them childish play on the ' part of their enemies. But soon the flints are struck, and the spark begins to kindle the brush, and the flame comes up all through the pile, and the red elements leap to the casement, and the j woodwork begins to blaze, and one arm ' I of flame is thrown up on the right side ! of the temple, and another arm of flame t i is thrown up on the left side of thetemI pie, until they clasp their lurid palms ! under the wild night sky, and the cry of j "Fire!" within and "Fire!" without : j announces the terror, and the strangula; j tion, and the doom of the Sbechemires, i and the complete overthrow of the temt ; pie of the god Berith. Then there went J j up a shout, long and loud, from the ' j stout lungs and swarthy chests of Abim| ! c-lech and his men as they stood amid ; [ the ashes and the dust crying, "Victory, victory!" Forms of Tactics. Now I learn first from this subject : the folly of depending upon airy one ! form of tactics in auyrning we nave it do for this world or for God. Look over ; the weaponry of olden times?javelins, i batrleaxes, habergeons, and show me a | single weapon with which Abinielech : and liis men could have gained sucli i i complete triumph. It is no easy thing i to take a temple thus armed. I have ! seen a house where; during Revolutionary times, a man and his wife kept bach a whole regiment hour after hour, be 1 cause they were inside the house ant j tho assaulting soldiers were outside the r I TIhstt Avay His Canes. !

Yet you are willing to testify today that by no other mode?certainly not by ordinary modes?could that temple so easily, so thoroughly, have been taken. Fathers and mothers, brethren and sisters in Jesus Christ, what the church most wants to learn this day is that any plan is right, is lawful, is best, which helps to overthrow temple of sin and capture this world God. We are very apt to stick to the old modes of attack. We put on the old style coat of mail. We come up with the sharp, keen, glittering steel spear of argument, expecting in that way to take the castle, but they have a thousand spears where we have ten. And so the castle of sin stands. Oh, my friends, we will never capture this world for God by any keen saber of sarcasm, by any glittering lances of rhetoric, by any sapping and mining of profound disquisition, by any gunpowdery explosions of indignation, by sharpshootings of wit, by howitzers of mental strength made to swing shell five miles, by cavalry horses gorgeously caparisoned pawing the air. In vain all tho attempts on the part of these ecclesiastical foot soldiers, light horsemen and grenadiers. My friends, I propose a different style of tactics. Let each one go to the forest of God's premise and invitation and hew down a branch and put it on his shoulder, and let us all come around these obstinate iniquities, and then with this pile kindled by the fires of a holy zeal and the flames of a consecrated life we will burn them cut. What steel cannot do, fire may. And I announce myself j in favor of any plan of religious attack j that succeeds?any plan cf religious at tack, however radical, however odd, I however unpopular, however hostile to | all conventionalities of church and state, i If one style of prayer doe3 not do the work, let us try another style. If the church music cf today decs not get the victory, then let us make the assault with a backwoods chorus. If a prayer meeting at half past 7 in the evening does not succeed, let us have one as early in the morning as when the angel found wrestling Jacob too much for him. If a sermon with three authorized heads docs not do the work, then let us have a sermon with 20 heads or no heads at all. We want more heart in cur ! song, more heart in our almsgiving, | more heart in our prayers, more heart ! in our preaching. A Blood Eed Fact. Oh, for less of Abimelech's sword and : mere of Abimelech's conflagration! I j had often heard There is a fountain filled with blood ; snug artistically by four birds perched on their Sunday rocst in the gallery until I thought of Jenny Lind and Nilsson j and Scntag and all the other warblers, I but there came net one tear to my eye i nor cue master emotion to my heart. | But one night I went down to the Afri{ can Methodist meeting house iu Philaj delpbia, and at the close of the service a black woman in the middle of the ani dience began to sing that hymn, and all I tho audicnco joined in, and we were j floated seme three or four miles uearer j heaven than I have ever been since. I ; ; saw with my own eyes that "fountain ; ! filled with blood"?red, agonizing, sac' iificial, redemptive?and I heard the I i crimson plash of the wave as we ail | ; went down under it. For sinners plunged benoatb that flood Loso all their guilty stains. Oil, my friends, tho gospel is not a j ! syllogism; it is not casuistry; it is not I polemics, cr tiro science of squabbles. It is blood red fact; it is warm hearted iu; vitation; it is leaping, bounding, flying good news; it is efflorescent with all light; it is rubesceut with all summery glow; it is arborescent with all sweet shade. I have seen the sun rise on Mount i Washington, and from the Tiptop House, i j but thcro was no beauty in that compared with the dayspring from on high j i tr-Vion fbrist r/ivoi lit'hr to a soul. I have i i ' * **. v ' ?P ; heard Parepa sing, but there was no i music in that compared with the voice of Christ when ho said, "Thy sins are ' forgiven thee; go in peace." Good ! news! Let every one cut down a branch j | of this treo of life and wave it. Let him ! | throw it down and kindle it. Let all the j i way from Mount Zalmou to Sbechem be ; i j filled with the tossing joy. Good news! \ I This bonfire of the gospel shall consume j , | the last temple of sin, and will illumine j the sky with apocalyptic joy, that Jesus j Christ canto into the world to save sin- j ' ners. Any new plan that makes a man ! : i quit his sin, and that prostrates a wrong, j i i I am as much in favor of as though all j | the doctors, and the bishops, and the ' S archbishops, and the synods, and the j : academical gownsmen of Christianity j k | sanctioned it. The temple of Berirh ! i must come down, and I do not care how j i it comes. \ ! The Power of Example. ! j Still further I learn from this subject I : the power of example. If Abimehch | : | had sat down on the grass and told his j l men to go and get the boughs and go j I out to the battle, they would never have | > gone at all, or if they had it would have j " , been without any spirit or effective re i ' ?.:?i. i.;., ; suit, but when Atnmeiecn goes ?un mz ' own ax and hews down a branch and witli Abimelech's arm puts it on Abimj ?lech's shoulder and marches on, then, my text says, all the people did the same. How natural that was! What ' made Garibaldi and Stonewall Jackson ^ the most magnetic commanders of this 55 century? They always lode ahead. Oh, 1 the overwhelming power of example! e Here is a fathc-r on the wrong road. .1 All his boys go on the wrong road, j Hero is a father who enlists for Christ. q ; His children enlist. I saw in some of r*_ j the picture galleries of Europe that be| fore, rnauy of the great works of the masters, the old masters, there would bo sometimes four and live artists taking copies of the pictures. These copies they were going to carry with them, perhaps to distant lands, and I have thought that your life and character are a masterpiece, and it is being copied, and long after you arc gone it will bloom or blast in the homes of those who knew ' you and bo a Gorgon or a Madonna. Look out what you say. Lock odd what i you do. Eternity will hear the echo, I The best sermon over preached is a holy | life. The best music ever chanted is a i consistent walk. If you want others to j serve God, serve him yourself. If you. j want others to shoulder their duty, J shoulder yours. Where Abimclech goes his troops p.). Oh, start out for heaven today, and your family will come after i you, and your business associates will j come after you, and your social friends i will join ycu.

My friends, where there is one man in the church cf God at this day shouldering his whole duty there are a great many who never lift an ax or swing a bough. It seems to me as if there were ten drones in every hive to one busy bee: as though there were 20 sailors sound asleep in the ship's hammocks to 4 men on the stormy deck. It seems as if there were 50,000 men belonging to the reserve corps, and only 1,000 active combatants.' Oh, we all want our boats to get over to the golden sands, but the mc-st of us arc seated either in tho prow or in 1 ho stem, wrapped in our sliiped shawl, holding a big handled sunshade, while others are blistered in the heat and pull until the oarlocks groan and the blades bend till they snap. Oh, you religious sleepyheads, wake up! Ycu have lain so long in one place that tho ants and caterpillars have begun to crawl over ycu! What do you j know, my brother, about a living gospel made to storm the world? Now, my idea of a Christian is a man on fire with zeal for God, and if your pulse ordinarily beats GO times a minute when you think of other themes and talk about other themes, if your pulse does not go up to 75 or SO when yon come to talk about Christ and heaven, it is because you do not knew tho ov.c, and have a poor chance of getting to tho other. In a former charge one Sabbath I i took intu the pulpit the church records, | and I laid them on the pulpit and opened them and said: "Brethren, here are j the church reccids. I find a great many j of you whose names are down here are j of? duty." Some wero afraid I would ! read tho names, for at that time some of them were deep in the worst kind of oil stocks and wero idle as to Christian work. But if ministers of Christ leday should bring the church records into tho pulpit and read, oh, what a flutter there would be! There would nor. be fans enough in church to keep the cheeks cool. I do not know but it would be a good thing if ilie minister cuce in awhile should bring the church records in the pulpit and call the roll, for that is what I consider every church record to be?merely a muster roll of the Loid's army?and the reading of it should reveal where every soldier is and what he is doing. Call the Roll. Suppose in military circles on the morning of battle the roll was called, and out of 1,000 men only 100 men in the regiment answered. What excitement there would be in the camp! What I would the colonel say? What high talk- j ing thcro would be among the captains j and majors and tho adjutants. Suppose word came to headquarters that these \ delinquents excused themselves on the ! ground that they had overslept themselves, or the morning was damp end they were afraid of getting their feet I wet, or that they were busy cooking rations. My friends, this is the morning of tho day of (led Almighty's battle. Do you not see the trcops? Hear yo not all the trumpets of heaven and all tho drums of hell? Which side are yon on? If you are on the right side, to what cavalry troop, to what artillery service, to what garrison duty do you belong? ! In other words, in what Sabbath school ; do yoa teach? In what prayer meeting : do you exhort? To what penitentiary do j you declare eternal liberty? To what almshouse do you announce the riches of heaven? What broken bone of sorrow* have you ever set? Are you doing nothing: Is it possible that a man or woman sworn to be a follower of Jesus Christ is doing nothing? Then hide the horrible secret from the angels. Keep it away A Lif-3 Saved.

Iday the eternal Cod ruuso us all to action! As for myself, I feel I would be ashamed to die now and enter heaven until I have accomplished something more decisive for the Lord that bought me. Oh, brethren, how swiftly the time goes by ! It seems to mo as if the years had gained some new power of locomotion?a kind of speed electric. The temple of Berith is very broad, and it is very high. It has been going up by the hands of men and devils, and no human engineering can demolish it, hut if the 70.000 ministers of Christ in this errantry should each take a branch of the tree of life, and all their congregations should do the same, and we should march on and throw these branches around the great temples of sin and worldliuess and folly, it would need no match or coal or torch of ours to touch off the pile, for, as in the days of Elijah, fire would fall from heaven and kindle the bonfire of Christian victory over demolished sin. One Safe Rcfnge. Still further, I learu from this subject the danger cf false refuges. As soon as these Shechemites got into the temple they thought they were safe. They said: "Berith will take care of us. Abimelech may batter down everything else. Ha cannot batter down this temple where we are now hid ,1 But very soon they heard the timbers crackling, and they were smothered with smoke, and they miserably died. I suppose every person in this audience this moment is stepping into some kind of refuge. Hero you step in the tower of good works. You say, "I shall be safe in this refuge." The battlements are adorned; the steps are varnished; on the wall are pictures of all the suffering you have alleviated, and all the schools yen have established, and all the fine things you have ever dene. Up in that tower yon feel you are safo. But hear you not the tramp of your unpardoned sins all around the tower? They each have a match. You are kindling the combustible material. You feel the heat and the suffocation. Oh, may you leap in time, the gospel declaring, "By the deeds of tbo law shall uo tiesli Jiving be justineu." "Well," yen say, "I have been driven ont of that tower. Where shall I go?" Step into this tower of indifference. Yon say, "If this tower is attacked, it will be a great while before it is taken." You feel at ease. But there is an Abimetech with ruthless assault coming on. Death aud his forces are gathering around, and they demand that you surrender everything, and they clamor for your overthrow, and they throw their skeleton arms in the window, and with their iron fists they beat against the door, and while you are trying to keep them out yen see the torches of judgment kindling, and every forest is a torch and every mountain a torch and every sea a torch, and while the Alps and Pyrenees and Himalayas tnrn into a live coal, blown redder and redder by the whirlwind breath of a God omnipotent, what will become of your refuge of lies? "But," says some one, "you are engaged in a very mean business, driving us from tower to tower." Oh, no. I want to tell you of a Gibraltar that never has been and never will be taken, of a wall that no satanic assault can scale, of a bulwark that the judgment earthquakes cannot budge. The Bible refers to it when it says, "In God is thy refuge, and underneath thee are the everlasting arms." Oh, fling yourself into it. Tread down unceremoniously everything that intercepts you. Wedgo your way there. There' are enough hounds of death and peril after you to make you hurry. Many a man has perished just outside the tower with his foot on the step, with his liand on the latch.

"j Washington, January 20 ?The prosenta! tion of committee rtports on Cuba and a i highly dramatic and sensational sp.-ech i from Mr. Tillman, the new Senator from j South Carolina, furnished two stirring i events in tue Senate today. The majority resolution on Cuba, presented by Chairman j Morgan, asks the President to urge Spain | to grant belligerent rights to the iusnrgents while the minority report, offered by Mr. Cameron, directs the President to take I ! steps towards securiug from Spain the complete independence of Cuba. Both resolutions went to the Senate calendar. Such a torrent of inventive has seldom been heard in the Senate as that in the speech ' r ? ? t* i. 1 ~ e th ~ i oi air. miman. v citrau memucis ui iuc body characterized the speech as one of the most remarkable in the history of the upper branch of Congress.

Pausing for a sip of water, | amid roars of laugh'er, he remarked, "I seldom wet my whistle while I sp<"-ak: still you can't run a wind mill on water. Tho next moment there was a hush . through the chamber as the Senator applied such names as "Judas'' to a member of the I Cabinet, or chara tenz^d the President in sup?._*lative bitterness. At times the Senator's voice sank to a whisper, as lor instance when he gave warning of the api proach of a popular revolution and communism and the marching on Washington of a host with -ifl -s in tbe'r hands. Agaiu his \olce resounded through the chamber ; and outer corridors as he called Senators and members "cowards" for not resorting to impeachment. ! Mr. Tillman took the floor at 2 o'clock. The galleries filled quickly and tie Senator was accorded close attention. He moved down from his rear seat to one in the front row iu mediately in front of the presiding officer. Although pr^v.de l with man uscript, he began extemporaneously. During Mr. Tillman's bitter criticism ol * j the President, he laid aside his notes and ! j put Senators and galleries in roars cf laugh. ter by telling how, r.s Governor of South ^ Carolina, he had come here to inaugurate I the President and had stood four hours out ' in the snow and sleet until he was nearly j frozen to death to do honor to this l'resil dent. '-And," concluded the Senator, "I ask God to lcrgive me for doing it." r At o ie point, alt -r bitterly arraigning the I Pre-idtnt, the Senator addressed bimse'f to the ilepublicans and exe'aimed: "Why have ' you not impeached him? You have thema jority to do it." - j Mr. Hawley interrupted with the query: . | "Wny didn't the last Congress do this? ' "He is not impeached," continued the ! Senator, "because be carries out your Ilcpulican policy. The last Congress was no i better than this." Senator Tillman, iu bis introductory re[ marks, referred to the so called Senatorial j dignity which does not permit apphuse from the floor or galleries. He was a far" ! mer pure ani simple, he said, accustomed ' to speaking in the op^n air upon the hustings, where meu where free to applause it they felt so disposed. Iu the Senate it was , considered undignified to applaud, the galleries being reprimanded and the Senators ! confronting the orator with a "Senatorial s'are which turned him into stone." S?n| ators got up like school boys and read essay's in a monotonous tone to empty chairs, k j Where was the purpose of the founders ol the country when they made the Senate the B I greatest deliberative body in the world? It - i was never intended that the speeches of a y I ----- - . Senator should be buried in the arclrves, a which was now the case. s ' How much of this, Mr. President," exclaimed Mr. Tillman, "is clue to self comi-| placeney, to the feeling among yoi?1 C hardly feel prepared yet to say amoug us ? that you arc the Senate? How much of this 1 so called Sen itorial dignity, of which we t hear so much and see so much, is wortkj e of preservation? It hangs over this cham ' | her like a wet blanket; it smothers dowr j independent action; it obliterates the mar aud we are here the puppets, the cogs ii the wheel of party, to do the b d ling o the manipulators of the party machines." These words, uttertd with much energy 1 provoked the first manifestation of applause iu the galleries, which the Senator hardly seemed to notice. lie returned to the assertion that he was the only farmer, pure aud simp'e, in the Senate, although out of seventy million people, thirty-five million were engaged in agricultural pursuits. As a farmer he had broken the barrier and forced his way into the Senate aud he proposed to give utterance to their wrongs. "Before I get through," said he, yon will realize the fact that I speak'plainly and ! bluntly and use the language of the common people, for I am one of them, aud I expect to tell you how they fetl and what they think and what they want." Mr. Tillman began by sajing that he would use plaiu Anglo Sixon. the lauguige cf the common people, for ho was one of them. He spoke bitterly of the essay reading indulged in by Senators. He referred to the statement of the Senator from Ohio (Sherman , that the silver 2. now trail in the dust ! of defeat. The practical destruction of the party has been accomp'ished." There has been no trouble with gold reserve, the Smatir asserted, and no hint of any lost of confidence in the national credit, . j until about the time of the last Presidential | election. The-, for the first time, we got a I glimpse of the conspiracy which he had referred to before, ilr. Foster gave the holders of greenbacks and treasury notes the option of having government paper cashed in gold or silver, and as they all demanded gold the gold in the treasury rapidly ran I down. The financial papers took up the j cry of the country going to a silver basis, ! and the first premonitory breezes of the i panic oi i8!?3 swept over the land and the conspirators fomented it by every possible ineaus. ' Instead of endeavoring to stem the tide I min nnrt redeem the nlcdces of the Democratic party, to cive the people relief. ; President Cleveland lent aid and comfort . I to the conspirators bv his utterances and > j official actions in continuing the policy of T his predecessor."' The Senator ipioted from President Clevei land's response to the committee that notii lied him of his nomination the last time, i and declared that there was nothing in it f to vrarraut one to expect that the leader of the Democratic party would ignore the platform and treat with contemut the ?CP???

How many of these reasonable expectations have been met? How many of you men grown old and gray 111 the service of the party and of the Lation, men who were the trusted leaders before Cleveland was ever heard of, how many, I say, have been called into his council*? If any speak, I shall be glad to hear them Where has this man sunk his personality? Whom haa he consulted? Whose advise has he recognized? None, but thatof the bootlicks and sycophants, who have crawled on their knees for the crumbs of patronage and.betra; ed their constituents for the offices in his gift, In the entire history of this country, the high office of President has never been so prostituted, and never has the oppointing power been so abused. Claiming to be the apostle of civil service reform, he has debauched the civd service by making appointments only of those whose sponsors would surrender their manhood, and, with bated breath, walk with submissive head in his presence. With relentless purpose he has ignored bis oath of office to nphold and obey the law, and has paid out gold instead of coin and issued bonds to buy more gold, by bo:li actions overriding the law aud RiviDg no heed to the interests of any but moneyed friends - I might say his owners or partners. "While to this besotted tyrant coin has come to mean gold alone, he caunot by his mere 'ipse dixit' change the law of this land and pervert the plain meaning of the English language. His Republican partners in crime, who set the unrighteous and unlawful example which he has persistently followed, and encouraged him in it to the utmost extent, cannot escape the condemnation of the houest, working, business meu of the country as equal partners of his guilt." The repeal of the Sherman liw, it was asserted, which was the first point ot attack of this "unholy alliance," was only accomplished through th6 aid and in conjunction with a majority of the Rt publican Senators. This Democratic President accomplished what was not possible for any Republican executive under the circumstances to have brought about. A change of the party in power had Jelt a large number of offices in his gift with which to buy votes." In discussing the "honest meaning" of parity of gr>ld and silver in the Sherman law, he said: v "The olj-ct was to have them assist each other, to hold silver up by holdiug gold down, and an honest Secretary of the Treasury, who should have resigned his office rather than submit to the dictation of a besotted chief, would have paid out silver to p otect tbo Treasury from the gold gamblers and bond robbers, as the law and his oath of office required But, alas, the old breed of Southern statesmen like Calhoun, who, after a life spent in the public service, had to be buried at public expense and bis debts paid by the State of Sontb Carolina, is no more. No wonder the Senator from Massachusetts feels warranted; in twitting us with the decay of Southern statesmanship and charging us with dishonesty. He charges it, however, in another connection and as aiding and abetting this Judas from Kentucky, who, after a brilliant career of twenty years and more as leuler and champion of the silver forces, has, in his old age, come to this pitiful pass. "The South bows its bead in shame at this exhibition of moral cowardice and despises the renegades; but I must remind the Senator from Massachusetts that there is as ret only one moral turpitude and triachery to be charged against these men. The Southern Congressmen and Senators who came here poor, are still poor. They have not become millionaires like some cf their Northern brethren;and there is no credit mobilicr steal, or Colfax scandal, or Belknap bribery, chargeable to any Southern man. Let him remember these things and keep back his sneers and taunts." The Senator contended that if there has been one idea more persistently and prominently presented to the American people by Fresident Cleveland than any other, it bad been the iniquities of the tariff aud the demand for its revision. In season and out of season, with '-damnable iteration," he had sung this siren song in the ears of the farmers. In this connection he quoted from messages of thi President ol 1887 and 1888, and said he did it for ' the purpose of pointing out the evolntion of a tryrant and of showing the transition from a conscientious, law abiding chief magistrate to an ar| rogaut and obstinate ruler who ignores the j law aud issues bonds at will and issues them under a statute that is subject to *ha suspicion that it was intended to be temporary and limited in its application, instead of conferring a discretionary authority. ' He not only issues them, but does it i secretly, with his law partner as a witness to the contract, and has created the suspicion in the minds of millions of bis country j men that a President of the United States ! can use his high office for private gain." He differs with the ltepublican party only j in the one particular of the tariff and on I that he has blown bot and cold as his pet j hobby, and will go down in history as the ; most gigantic failure of any man who ever ! occupied the White House, all because of his vanity and his obstinacy. "To make good this charge," Mr. TillI man argued, "that when President Cleveland came into power in March, 1803, and could have called the Senate and House (both Democratic lor the first time since the war) to carry his policy into effect, ho did not cail an extra session to give the i tariff* reform to the people, but instead I called Congress together to stop the coinage of silver. He, the President, had waited until tbe 'object lesson,' the panic j made to order by his fellow conspirators, i had swept like a cyclone over tbe country, prostrating all business euterj rises and in* dustries and the newspapers had howled in chorus iu the ears of the people that the coinage of silver was the cause of the monetary crisis."
