WHAT IT COST TO GIVE HUMANITY
THE CHANCE OF SALVATION.
The Lowly Birth of Christ--The Tempta.
tion In the Wilderness-Christ Before
Pilate-How Naturo Groaned and Shud
dered at the Cruelifixion.
LONDoN, June 20.-Au enormous
audience greeted Dr. Talmage in thi
city today, composed of people who had
come from all parts of the British me
tropolis to hear the famous American
preacher. ills reception in Enland
has been most enthusiaste. Many let
ters were awaiting him from dillbrent
cities eagerly pleaditg for a visit. The
doctor will have to preach five or six
times a week if he accepts even a smafll
percentage of the urgent invitations al
ready sent to him. Ile is very much
gratified by the extreme cordiality of his
reception. Dr. Talmage entitles his
sermon "The Immense Cost,' from the
text, 1 Cor. vi, 20, "Ye are bought
with a price."
Your friend takes you through his
valuable house. You examine the
arches, the frescoes, the grassplots, the
ishponds, the conservatories, the parks
of deer, and you say within yourself or
you say aloud, "What did all this cost?'I
You see a costly diamond flashing in at
earring, or you hear a costly dress rust
ling across the drawing room, or you
see a high mottled span of horses har
nessed with silver and gold, anti you be
gin to make an estimata of the value.
The man who owns a large estat(
cannot instantly tell you all it is worth
He says, "I will estimate so much to
the house, so much for the furniture, a
much for laying out the grounds, s
much for the stock, so much for thi
barn, so much for the equipage-addin
up in all making this aggregate."
Well, my friends, I hear so inuc
about our mansion in heaven, about it
furniture and the grand surroundings
that I want to know how nuch it is al
worth, ahu what has actually been pai(
for it. I cannot complete in a nionti
nor a year the magnificent calculation
but before I get through today I hope ti
give you the figures. "Ye are bough
with a price."
With some friends I went to you
Tower to look at the crown jewels. W(
walked around, caught one glimpse o
them, and being in the procession wer(
compelled to pass out. I wish that .
could take this audience into the towe
of God's mercy and strength that yoi
might walk around just once, at least
and see the crown jewels of eternity, be
hold their brilliance and estimate theii
value. "Ye are bought with a price.'
Now if you have a large anmount o
money to pay, you do not pay it all al
once, but you pay it by insiallmients
so much the first of' lanuary, so muel
the firet of April, so much the lirst o
.July, so much the first of October, unti
the entire amount is paid, and I have
to tell this audience that "you have bee
bought with a price," and that that
lIrice was paid in different installmnents
The first installment paid for the
clearance of our souls was the ignomini
ous birth of Christ in Beithlelhmi
Though we may never be carefull3
looked after afterward, our advent int<
the world is carefully guarded. Wi
come ito the world amid kindly atten
tioiis. Privacy and silence are atiforde'
when God launches an immortal soc
into the world. E~veni the roughest c.
men know enough to stand back. liu
I have to tell you that in the villamec o:
the side of the hill there was it ver
bedlam of upcoar when ,Jesus was born
in a village cap)able of accommodat
lng only a few hundlred people man;
thiousandl people were crowded, an<
atmid hostlers arid muleteers and camne
dlrivers yelling at stupid beasts of bmt
den the Messiahiapp)eared. No silence
no privacy. A better adaipted plac,
hath the eaglet in the eyrie--hath th<
whelp in the lion's hair. Th'e exile o
heaven lieth down tupon straw. Tf.ho
first night out frorm the palace of' hear
en spent in an ouithouse! One hour af
ter laying aside the robes of heaven
dIressed in a wrapper ot coarse linen
One would have supposed that Chris
would have made a more gradual de
scent, coming from lieaven first to a hal
way world of great magnitude, then t<
Cssr's palace, then to a merchant'h
castle in Galilee, then to a private hoim<
in B3ethany, then to a fisherman's liut,
and last of all to a stable. No! it was
one leap from the top) to the bottomi.
Let us open thre door of tie caravan,
sary mn Bethlehem andi drive away th<
camels. Press on through the group o:
idlers and loungers. WVhat, O Mary
no light? "'No hight,'' she says, ''save
that wich comeis thronighi thne door.'2
What, Mary! no food? "None.'' she
says, "only that which was brought in
the sack on the journey.'' Let the
Bethlehem woman who has come in
here with kindly attentions put back thne
covering from the babe that we may look
upon it. Look! Look! Uncover your
head. Let us kneel. Let all voices be
hushed. Son of Mary! Son of God!
Child of a dany-monarch of' eternity!
In that eye trhe glance of a God. Om
nipotence sheathed in that babe's arm.
That voice to be changed from the fee
ble p)laint to the tone that shall wake
the dead. llosannia! Hlosannaf
Glory be to God that Jesus camne from
throne to manger, that we might rise
from manger to throne, arnd that all thre
gates atre open, and that the door of'
heaven, that once swung this way to let
,Jesus out, now swings the other w ay to
let us in. Let all tlie bellmen of hieav
en lay hold the rope anti riug out the
news, "Behold, I b)ring you gladi tidinigs
of great joy. which shall b)e to all peo
ple; for today is biorni in the city of
David a Saviour, which is C'hrist tire
Lord!'
The second imstallment paid for our
soul's clearance was the sceiie in Quar
antanla, a mountainous region, full of
caverns, where there are to this (lay
panthers and wild beasts of all sorts, so
that you must now go there armed with
knife or gun or pistol, It was there
that Jesus went to think and to pray,
and It was there that this monster of
hell-more sly, more terriflc than any
thing, that prowled in that country-..
satan'hipnseIf, met Christ.
Tho zose in the cheek of' Chirist--thnat
Pubilus Lentullus, in his letter t.o the
Roman senate, ascribed to .Jesus-that
rose had scattered Its petals. Ahbti
nence from food had thrown him int<
cmaciation. A long abstinence fronx
food recorded in profane history is thai
of tire crew of the ship Juno; for twen.
tv-three days they had nothing to eat,
But this sufferer had fasted a mont
and ten days hefore he broke fast. Hun
ger must have agomized every fiber o1
th~e body and gnawed on the stomach
A rlth teeth ofeah The thought of a
-oas.ee of bread or meat must have
ttrhred the body with something like
e.rocity. Turn out apack of men hon
gry as Christ was a-hungered, ind it c
they had strength, with one yell they C
would dovour you as a lion a kid.
It was in that pang of hunger that L
Jesus was accosted, and satan said, c
"Now change these stones, which look r
like bread, into an actual supply of
bread." Had the temptation come to
you and me under these circumstances,
we would have cried, "Br6ad it shall
be!" and been almost impatient at the
time taken for masti.cation. But Christ u
with one hand beat back the hunger, u
and with the other hand beat back the b
monarch of darkness. Oh, ye tempted o
ones! Christ was tempted. We are told c,
that Napoleon ordered a coat of mail
mI'de, but he was not quite certain that
it was impenetrable, so lie said to the h
nenufacturer of the coat of mail, "Put h
it on now yourself', and let us try it," 0
Un11 with shot after shot from his own 1
pistol tile emperor found out that it was b
just what it pretended to be-a good i1
coat of mail. Then the man received a n
large reward. y
1. bless God that the same coat of b
mail that struck back the weapons of t
temptation from the head of Christ we
my now all wear; for Jesus comes and
says: "I have been tempted, and I know
what it is to be tempted. Take this
robe that defended me, and wear it for
yourselves. I shall see you throu:h all
trials and I shall sece you through all I
temn ptations.? I
"But.,'' says satan still further to
-Jesus, "Come and I will show you
something w orth looking at; and atter a
half da. 's iourney they came to Jerusa
lem, und to the top of the temple. Just
as One might go up In the tower of Ant
werp and look off upon Belgium, so
satan broui4ht Christ to the top of the
temple. Some people at a great height
feel dizzy, and a strange disposition to
jump; so satan comes to Christ in that
very crisis. Standing there at the top
of the temple they looked oil. A maz
iliticent reach of country. Grain fielda,
vineyards, olive groves, forests and
streams, cattle In the valley, flocks on
the hills, and villages and cities and
realmi.
"Now,' says satan, "I'll make a bar
gain. Just jump oil'. I know it is a
great, way from the top of the Temple
to the valley, but if you are divine you
can fly. Jump oil'. It won't hurt you.
Angels will catch you. Your Father
will hold you. Besides, I'll make you
a large vresent, if' you will. I'll give
you Asia Minor, L'il give you China,
I'll gve you Et,hiopia, I'll give you
Italy, I'll give you Sp tin, I'll give you

he caie down and fought the great
wretch of hell, and fought him in the
wilderness and on top of the temple.

Christ himself having been in the tem
pest will deliver all those who put
their trust in him. IBlessed be his glori
ours name forever.
The third installment paid for our re
dem ptioni was the Saviour's sham trial.
I call it a sham trial-there has never
been an thing so indecent or unfair in
any criminal court as was witnessed at
the trial of Christ. Why, they hustled
him into the courtroom at 2 o'clock in
-the morning. Trhey gave him no time
for counsel. They gave him no oppor
Lunity for subpo'nai ng witnesses. h
ru iians who were wandering around
through the midnight of course they
saw the arrest and went into the court
room, liut .Jesus' friends were sober
menl, wore respectauble meni, and at that
hour, 2 o'clock in the morning, of course
they were at home asleep. Consequent
ly Christ entered the courtroom with
the ruilians.
Oh, look at him ! No one to speak
a wordl for him. 1 left the lanten until
I can look into his face, and as my heart
beats in sympathy for this, the best
friend the world ever had, himself now
utterly friendless, an officer ot' the
courtroom comes up and smites him In
the mouth, and I see the blood stealing
from gum and lip. Oh! it was a farce
of a trial, lasting only perhaps an hour,
and then the jduge rises for sentence.
Stop)! It Is against the law to give
sentence unless there has been andh ad
journmnent of time court between coni
(demnation a nd seiitence; but what cares
the j ud(ge for the law ? ".I'he man has
no friends-let him die," says the judge;
andl the rufilians outside the rail cy r:
"A ha! ahas! that's what we want. l'ass
him out here to us! Away with hit!
Away with him!"
Oh! I bless G~od that aifd all the in- I
justice that may have been inflicted
upon us in this world we ha,ve a (divine
sympathizer. The worhld cannot lie I
about you nor abuse you asa much as
they did Christ, and .Jesus stands I eday 1
im every courtroom, In every houseo, in &
every store, and says: "Courage! By
all my hours of maltreatment and e
abuse, 1 will protect those who are
trampled upon.' And when Christ for- li
gets that two o'clock morning scene, t
and the stroke of the rufian on the ~
mouth, and the howling of the tin
washed crowd, then lie will forget you (
and me in the injustices of life that
may be inicted upon us.
F'urther. I remark: The last great
installment paid for our redemption 1
was the demise of (Christ. The world ~
has seen many dark days. Many sum- a
mers iugo there was a very dark day Ia
when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl I
at noonday went to their perch, and we t
felt a gloom as we looked at the astrono
mical wonder. It was a dark day inc
London when the plague was at its
height, and the dead with unOosered
faces were taken in open carts and
dumped in the trenches. It was a darki
day when the earth opened and Lisbon
sank- but the darkest day since the
treation or the world was when the
arnage of Calvary was enacted.
It was about noon when the curtain
,egan to be drawn. It was not the
oming on of a night that soothes and
efreshes; it was the swinging of a great
loom all around the heavens. God
ung it. As when there is a dead one
i the house you bow the shutters or
rn the lattice,so God in the afternoon
lut the windows of the world. As it
i appropriate to throw a black pall
pon the coilin as it passes along so it
ras appropriate that everything should

The waves of man's hatred and of
hell's vengeanca dash up against the
mangled feet, and the hands of sin and
pain and torture clutch for his hol
heart. Had he not been thoroughly
fastened to the cross they would hav
torn him down and trampled him witt
both feet. How the cavalry horse
arched their necks and champed theil

son of God! Look! what a scene! Look
world, at what you have done!
I lift the covering from the maltreate(
Christ to let you count the wounds anc
estimate the cost. Oh, when the nail
went through Christ's right hand an<
through Christ's left hand, that bough1
both your hands with all their powpi

nails went through Christ's right foo

THE ISSUE MADE UP.
PRC'TECTIVE TARIFF VS. TARIFF FOR
REVENUE ONLY.
]'ho National Campaign Formal.y Opeaed
in the United St,aten Senate-Hale saed
VeNt Champion the Respective Caies -
A Spicy Debate.
WASiINGTON, June 28.-Alr. Hale's I
resolution, offered yesterday, was laid
before the Senate to day, and Mr. lIale,
addressing the Senate upon it, said.
In the battle which is now on, and
which will be fought out from now tin
til November, there should be no niis
take made by any man as to the position
taken by the Democratic party on the
great questions that affect the indus
tries of people of the United States.
FortunaWly the Democratic conven
tion in Chicago took its ground boldly
and squarely, and, as between protec
tion on the one side and free trade on
the other, committed itself to a policy
as near to free trade as it is possible
for any party to assume under our pies
ent conditions. Tariff for revenue only,
which is to be the rallying cry of the
Democracy In their campaign, is only I
separated from free trade by the amount
of revenue needed to maintain the Gov.
ernment. All Incidental protection of
the American laborer in his competi
tion with unpaid and pauper labor
abroad, all recognition of great Indus
tries built up under the protective sys
tem, were rutblsly tossed aside and
kicked out of the presence of the con
vention by the Democratic party there
assembled.
Mr. iIale sent to the clerk's desk and
had read froni the New York Sun the
U nited Press report of the discussion
on the tariff plank, which lie styled
"The official report of the convention."
lie said the manipulations of the con
vention, marshalled with consummate
skill by ex-members of1 Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet, proposed to join a candidate
r and a platform together, after the style
of "No facing-both-wa*s" in llunyan's
great book, but the convention would
have none of it.
The free traders were in the saddle;
the rerresentatives of those States
which had framed the free trade con
stitution of the Confederacy voted
(own the platform as prepared by the
manipulators and substituted one as
I near free trade as possible. The plat
I form originally suggested contained a
distinct reference to the difference 6e
I tween labor in this country and abroad
as a factor in making up tarilfl legisla
tion; it stated distinctly that no injury
should be done to industries already
built up, and that their healthy growth
must be promoted. All this was
stricken out and a tariff for revenue
only was substituit(l. The jolicy of
the Democratic party was rlirtish not
Ainerican. Tariff for revenue only,
with protection deiounced its robbery
and a I raud, was British. No wonder
both candidates and plat.form had re
ceived unstinted eulogy from the Lou
(ion press. The lepublicans of the
t'nited Statei gladly accept the issue
presented to is by the other side.
Mr. Vest (Dem.) ef Missouri said lie
agreed with the Senator from Maine
(Mr. Hale) that the issues between the
parties weie made up. They were made
tip in 1793, when Thomas Jefferson, in
accepting the portfolio of Secretary of
State, repudiated the declaration of Al
exander Iaminilton that Congress had
the right to levy duties to protect
American industries. The Democratic
party held then, and holds today, that
such a doctrine was Congressional abso
lutisim. We accept the challenge given
today by the Senator from Maine, said
Mlr. Vest, and propose upon this issue.
to standI or fall as a political organiza-I
tion. It Is uscless to Indulge in criti
cismns of platforms. The position of thei
two parties are dlistincetly and unmis-i
takably set forth before the country by
their history, aside from ar.y declara-I
tin mad~ue by their national conven
tions. The party to which lie belonged,
believes in tariff for revenue--not a
tariff for protection, to be levied by|
Congress In its own discretioni, without
any limitation whatever.
saidntinuing his remnarks, Mr. Vest
siitwas not true that the protective
tariff had created the prosperity of the
United States. The country had pros
pered to a great extent in spite of the
tartil', in spite of the unjust and odIous
discrimiinations made in favor of one
claus as against another, iIe was pre
pa:red to show that the McKinley bill
had increased the prices of the nieces
sities of life. Never in the history of
the count,ry had there been such dis
turbances of labor, such dlistr-ess ini ag
riculture aiid such a lessening andl
limiting of foreign markets as under
this infamous legislation.
Mr. Vest exhibit.ed t wenty-one sam
ples of the necessities of life supplied.
in March last by a New York house,'
with a statement of their cost abroad,
the duty on them and their prices here,
asserting that in every instance the
cost to the laboring man had been in
creased by the McKInley bill.
Turning t,o the predictions madeo In
thet matter of tin plate, Mr. Vest read
statements froam the T in Plate Con
sumers Association of the UJnited
States and others, to show that al- 4
though the McKinley bill imposed an
addit.ional charge upon American tin I
plate manufacturers of from $10,000,000
to $I15,000,000) a year, the entire outputt
of the American industry, which tne c
bill was to fost er, did not amoutit to c
one per cent, of our implorts and con
sumuption. Today tini plate, by a comn- s
biuiation of manuifacturers, had been a
put upi to $525 a buox, when before the a
McKinley bill it had sol for $3 75. ie i
read an enumeration of 100 trusts and r
coiibiniations that had beeni forimed be- I
cause of the McKinley bill.
Mr. Vest then ref erredl to Mr. C'arne- 0
gl(e, who from his castle in Scotland had (
telegraphed his congratulationsa to Mr. I
Ilarrison as now entrenched in his I
workshop behuiud w~alls eleveii feet high t
to p)rotect his protected industries e

If we are the British party, then Great
Britain ownirthe greater part of the

>f intelligence knows a majority of the
Pople are Demccrats, but it is worthy
)f that miserable cause (the Republi.
:an) that they should resort to invective
nd accuse us of being bought by
tritish gold.
Air. 1Iale, replying, said, the Senator
rom Missouri had dealt with the
lomain of statements, every one of
vhich was debatable, and would be dis
>uted. The array of figures was only
he repetition of the old story of assert
d facts, which, when subjected to the
ight of scrutiny fall to the ground.
lefore this debate closed. on every de
ani which the Senator had touched de
nonstrations would be given showing
ts inaccuracy.
Air. Vest-lo it now.
Ar. I1ale-1 do not propose to do it
iow. That is not my purpose. I con
ine myself to one or two propositions
vhich the Stnator from Missouri (Mr.
test) does not deny, and which no Sen
tor can deny. I intended to bring to
he attention of the American people
,hat the Democratic party, of which he
a so distiniguished a leader, had the op.
)ortunit-y given it by its chosen organ,
he committee on resolutions, to recog
iize the American laboi er, and declined
o do it. I wish to call the attention of
he people to the other fact, that the
treat American manufacturer might
inve been recognized by the party, for
ts committee reported a plank to that
!ffct, but the convention tossed it
side.
Replying to Mr, Vest's remarks on
Lrusts, Alr. Hale said there was the
great leader, who controlled the Cleve
land forces at Chicago, whom they all
knew and respected--Ar. Whitney,
Was he not connected with any trust ?
The Chicago convention was& controll
ed by the Standard Oil Trust.
Alr. Xest, interrupting, with much
warmth, asked-Does the Senator from
Maine charge Air. Whitney with any
connection with the Standard Oil
Trust?
Mr. 1Iale (dellberately)-1 do not
make any charge."
Air. Vext-Then it is utterly unfair
to make any such insinuation. I deny
it. I deny it on Mr. Whitney's own
statement to me. His brother- in-law
is a stockholder, but I havo ) et to learn
that a man is responsible tor his broth.
er in-law.
Mr. liale, In turn, asked if Air. Ves
asserted that Air. Campbell had any
interest in the concern which he had
named in connection with him,
Air. Vest replied that Mr. Campbell
was the paid lawyer of Armour & Co.
AMr. Hale remaiked that Air. Camp.
bell was a good lawyer, and an able
lawyer, and no doubt had clients in
many lines of business all over the
country. Ie added: "I do not assert
or believe that Mr. Whitney has any
interest in the Standard Oil Company,
Ilis denial is enough for me. But you
nannot make the country believe that
the great Stand?jrd Oil Trust did not
liave a controlling voice in shaping the
result of the Chicago convention.
Further debate was cut off, for the
litme being, by the presiding oflicer
3tating that the hour of 2 o'clock had
irrived, and laying before the Senate
the unlinished business-Mr. Stewart's
silver bill.
A WORD WITH ALLIANCEMEN.
1'he Cohltnba Iteglter Advine.4 them, to
Stick ta the I)etnocracy.
The Alliancemnen of South Carolinai
has no truer friend than the Columibia
RegIster, and to them we commend th(
following from its edltorlal columns:
The nomination of (irover Cleveland
by the Democratic convention should
niot discourage you in your mission, or
cause you to relax an effort in the great
work of relief and financial reform.
No revolution was ever won in a day,
and it will take L.ime and patience t'i
overcoinie opposition and achieve your
ends.,
Ilad the farmers in another Southern
iState followed the exanmple of their
brethren in South Carolina, and gone
into the D)emocratic party and taken
possession of their convention, they
could and would have held the balance
of power between the two rival factions
at Chicago and namedi the nominees,
Sixteen 01' Georgia's delegates came
within one vote of nominating Cleve
land, and that. State was absolurtely
controlled by Alliancemen until they
voluntarily severedl their connection
with the D)emocratic party, and thus re
linquished power int o the hands of their
ap ponents.
The Farmers' Alliaiice is a non-parti
ian organization, and to succeed ft must
so remnain. We should profit by our
mistake in the Presidential contest, and
see that it is not repeated in the pend
ng Congressional campaign and four
ears hence, A s we have stated, it takes
ime and patience to bring about and
yin a revolution, and( to reform all the
ubuses in our government will require
'ears of unceasing labor.
We are too true a friend to the Alli
meae to counsel its memblers against
vhat we believe is for the best of their
>rder, for the sake of temporary en
lorseiment. We are as loyal to the
)cala platform, and the justice of its
lemanids are as firmly Implanted in our
earmtas when we united with the order,
Ve differ with some of our brethren as
o the best method of securing these
emands, but it is an honest and sin
ore difference.
.We can see no hope for success out
ide of the Democratic party. Thelines
re too strongly dirawn to be broken,
nd to attempt this is t.o yield the power
e have already won, and turn our
oble organization into political clubs,
ni this State, next November, if thme
Lliance continues to battle in the Demn
cratic ranks, it will place our every
ongressmnan on the Ocala platform.
Lut if we divide among ourselves. we
ill an easy prey to our enemies, and
lis is just what they are so confidently
Kpectmng.
Any farmer who will study the pl)Oit.
:al situation will see that there is no
lrthly change for a third party in the
residential contest this year, andu it is
relinquishimenit of his power ini the
antrol of our government f r ani A lb
nceman to vote that ticket. lIe can
nly elect iIarrisoni on his force bill
latformi, or Grover Cleveland thr.ugh
ie louse of Rtepresentatives But in
ther event, he surrenders hIs hold(
pomi the helmi of the State and plays to
le hanid of his political antagonists.
St,and wvith both feet on the Ocala
latiorm; hold your organization firm
rid intact, and you wvill yet triumph
rid win the victory. There is nothing
ut darkness and wreck for you outside
le party lines. Battle for your rights
rid your co'nvictions at the ballot- box,
ut dos t try and override your Consti
ition and seek to organize the Alli
aice into an independent and partisan
a)ltical organization, Learn a lesson
y the errors of our Georgia brot,hers,
ho have set the cause of the Alliance
ck for four years. To follow every
olitical will-o'-th- wisp that appears
to bring r uin upon your organization
ad gIve victory to your enemies.
We have spoken to you words of
berness and truth, and we ask you as
loyal brother Alliancemnan to give
rem your ear and most serious consid
ration,
