>* TALMAGE IN EUROPE. le, cola bee HE DISCOURSES REGARDING THE say GREAT KING'S HIGHWAY. lone awl The Difference lietween the Right and car the Wrong Road--The Christian's 1'rog.. tho reme Heavenward In the Fath of Reeti the tude. at LONDON, Sept. 11.-Another busy week of Dr. Talmage's preaching tour th has just ended. Atter conducting ser- al vices before immense audiences at int Swansea, Exeter and Bristol, he in preached four times in Plymouth to the at largest religious gatherings ever wit- me nessed in that city. Before leaving m Plymouth the mayor, at a public meet- tha lug at which many clergymen were o present, thanked the American preacher W, lor the great good his sermons had pro. a duced In awakening the community. ' Dr. Talmage on the day of his departure M was driven to the wharf and alighted at m the top of the flight of stone steps down Wi which the pilgrim fathers went when Lo they embarked on the Mayflower to seek ca" the New World. yo The sermon selecteel for to-day is en- mI titled "The King's Highway," the text ni chosen being Isaiah xxxv, 8-10: "And M an highway shall be there, and a way, and It shall be called the way of holi. ness; the unclean shall not pass over it; ti but it shall be for those; the wayfaring l men, though fools, shall not err therein, lie No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous he beast shall go up thereon. It shall not bo be found there, but the redeemed shall fon walk there, and the ransomed of the 01l Lord shall return and come to Zion la with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and P gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall otc flee away." There are thousands of people here lie this morning who wut to find the right tl road. You sometimes aee a pwr3on halting at the crossroads, and you cai tell by his looks that h,3 wishes to ask " a question as to what direction lie had better take. And I staid in your pres ence this morning conscious of the I'vet that there are many of you here who realize that there are a thousand wrong tl roads, but only one right one, and I tr take it for granted that you have come Ir in to ask which one it is. Here is one road that opens widely, but I hnve not kn much faith in it. Th'le, e are a areat ac many expensive tollgate; scattered all kr along that way. Indeud at every rod you must pay in tears or pay in flagella le tions. On that road, if you get through it at all, you have to pay your own way, D and since this differs so inuch Irorn what I have heard in regard to the right way L believe It is the wrong way. te Here is another road. On either side 1 of it are houses of sinful entertainment and invitations to come in and 1ine and rest, but from the looks of the people Lil who stand on the piazza I aiwl very cer- ti' tain that it is the wrong house and the of wrong way. Here Is another road. It th i s very beautiful and nacadanized. The 7, horses' hoofs clatter and ring, and they tl who ride over it spin along the highway de until suddenly they find that the road al breaks over an embankment, and they a try to halt, and they see the bit In the n niouth of the fiery steed and cry, "Whoa! N< ..' But it is too late, and-crash!- th they go over the embankment. We (I, shall turn this morning and see if we cannot find a different kind of a road. th You have heard of the Appian Way. Ti It was three hundred and fifty miles ph long. It was twenty-four feet wide, and on either 8s(1e the road was a path of for foot passengers. .lt was madle out ca of' rocks cut in hexagonal shape and Ai fitted together. What a road it meist liti have been? Made of smooth, hard rock, we three hundred and fif ty miles long. No litt wonder that in the construnion of it the o1' treasures of a whole empire were ex- be hausted. Because of invaders, and( the ci elements and tune-the 01(1 conqjucrer hei who tears up a road as he goes over it- htt there is nothing left of that structure gir except a ruin. But I have this moirn ing to tell you of a road built before. (i sul Appian Way, and yet it is A1'good as an when first construct uAi; 'Millions of wc souls have gone d~er it. Millions more (ic will come..- - t 4e - "f~fnf prop hets and( apostles, too, be Pursued this road while here below; l11 We therefore wihll, without dismay, cal Still walk in Christ, the good old way, it. "An highway shall be there, and1 a Fil way, and It shall be called the way of holiness, the unclean shall not pass over Fl: It; but it shall be for those; the way faring men, though fools, shall not err : therein. No lion shall be there, nor sa any ravenous beast shall go up thereon. sa, It shall not be found there, but, the re- WI deemed shall walk there, and the ran- in' somed of the Lord shall return and come set to Zion with songs and everlasting joy his upon their heads; they shall obtain joy set and gladness, and sorrow and sighing be shall flee away!"'po First, this road of the text is the wil king's highway. In the diligence you ing~ dash over the Bernard p'rss of the Alpis, dif, mile after mile, and there is not so her much as a pebble to j'ir the wheels. are You go over bridges which cross chasnis takI that make you hold( y our breath, under thri projecting rock, along by (dangerous 0out precipices, through tunnels adrip with oft' the meltings of the placi ,rs, anid perhapsl) der for the first time Ie:icn 'lie majesty ol a wh road built and suppo'rted by government teii authority. Well, my Lord the King rj decided to build a highway from earth the to heaven, It shioul I spsn all the lint chasms of human wretchedness; at li should tunnel all the mountains o'fearthi- the ly difficulty; it should be wide enough 'A and strong enough to hold flity thiousandl Jer millions of the human race, if so many the of them should ever be born. It shouldl mgi be blasted out of' ie "Rock of' Ages'' and cemented with the blood of the Ti4 Cross and be lifked amid the shouting TI of angels and the execration of (devita. Yet The King sent his Son to build that Tih4 r3ad. He put head and hand and heart to it, and after the road was coim pleted waved his blistered hand over the pIe way, crying "It is finished!'' Napoleon (1er paid fifteen million francs for the build- tha Ing of the t'implon road, that his cannon get m tgo over for the devastatIon of No It y; btour KCing, at a greater ox- pre pense, has built a road for a different sea purpose, that the banners of' heavenly the domlston might come down over it, and frei all the redeemed of earth travel up "IB over It. so, Bemng a king's highway, o1 course It nt< Is well built. Bridges splendidly arched fee< and buttressed have given way and of I crushed the passengers who attempted hav to cross them. But Christ the King of3 would buid no such thing as that. The side work done, be mounts the chariot of his mu love, and multitude.s mount with him, fait and hie drives on and up the steep of fear leaven amid the plaudits of gazing hon worlds! The work is done-well done-- tion glorlousl.y dous--magnificently done! fret StIl f#rther, this road spoken ofis a temn an road.

That bridge will break, so overhanging rocks will fall, the lit will coie dlown, leaving you at mercy of tile mountain bandits, end he very next turn of the road you 1 perish. But if you are really on clean road of which I have been aking, then you will stop ever and on to wash In the water that stands he basin of the eternal rock.

Oh, this King's highwayl Trees of life on either side, bonding over-until their brauches interlock and drop mid. way their truit and shado. Houses of entertain ment on either side the road for poor pilgrims. Tables spread with a least ofgood things, and walls adorned with apples of gold in pictures of silver. I start out on this King's highway, and I I find a harper, and I say, "What is t your name?" The harper makes no re tponse, but leaves meto guess, as, with r his eyes toward heaven and his hand C upon the trembling strings, this tune : comes rioplln2 in the ait: "The Lord t is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I feat? The Lord is the strength 3 o1 my life; of whom shall I he afraid?" f 1 go a little farther on the same road I and meet a trumpeter of heaven, and I S say: "Haven't you got some music for a tired pilgrim?', And wiping his lip i and taking a long breath, he puts his t mouth to the trumpet and pours forth I this strain: "They shall hunger no C more, neither shall they thirst any a more, neither sh-ll the sun light on I them, nor any heat, for the Lamb a which is in the midst of the throne ; shall lead them to living fountains of a water, and (h,d shall wipe away all r tears from their eyes." C I go a little distance further on the t same road and I meet a maiden ot la- 8 real. She has no harp, but she has cymbals. They look as if they had t rusted fron sea spray, and I say to the t maiden of Isreal, "Have you no song t for a tired pilgrim?" And like the clang of victors' shields the cyinbals clap as Miriam begins to discourse, I "Sing ye to the Lord, for ho has tri- C umiplied gloriously; the hors;' and the idter hath i he thrown into the sea." i And then I see a white robed group. f They coino bounding toward nie. and I say, "Who are they ?

The Riepuiblcans alwa.3s try to pose as the enemies of trusts, bunt it, is a sig. nificant fact that wvhen the late Sena tor Plumb introduced an antitrust amendment to the McKinley bill his RepublIcan colleagues voted it down with an overwvhelming emphasis.

IARRISON'SAJMINISTRATION FOUND SADLY WANTING. Legislation Sold to Obtain j6 Huge Cor ruption Fund-Qffensive and Defeusive A liance with Monopol- Iention of "Fat Fay ing." WASHINGTON, September 15.--Tho >eople are called upon to decide this ,ear whether or not they will continue he present Administration in power or another four years, and whether or lot they will restore to the Republi. an party the control of the lower touse of Congress and with it full au hority to legislate. The issue, as has been said in a pre 'ious dispatch, is the record of the last our years. The purpose of these dis >atches is to show what that record is 6t least in its salient features. As an important part of the record t Is necessary to inquire concerning he processes by which the power now Leld by the Republican party was se ured; the means by which Mr. Harri on and the 51st Congress were elected. n that we have not only an offence gainst public morals, which was stern y rebuked in the election of 1890, but ,lso an Index of the spirit of the Ad ainistration and the party, a forecast f the probable course of events if hat Administration and party are ranted a further lease of authority. It has been said .in these dispatches hat the election of 1888 was won by he purchase of voters and the corrup ion of election oflicers, and that the noney with which the corrupt buying vas (lone was secured by selling legis %,tion short to the monopolists of the ountry. There were other influences qually corrupt brought into play, as vill appear hereafter. but this was the oundation upon which the campaign vas 'ulit. The facts were notorious ,t the time, but it is necessary to re call hem now for the refrcshmetnt of the nemory of voters. Before 1888 the Republican party had I,wiy. advocated protection, with a ery important (ialification. Not one f i's leaders had dreamed of suggest ng it as an unchlanging policy or in ie extreme shape in w%hich the Mc in!ey tariff has since put it. John 'rman had publicly aavocated the epeal of all the tariff duties whi,h had een impost-d during the war in com en.ation for the liternal revenue tax titn, and had given solemn waning o ti e beeliciaics of the tariff tnat if his were not dLone the people would :se up in their N rat at the injustica ,nd oppro-s3ion aid sweep a%way the vho.e prote ctive system by a single tot of legislatien. Eugene la,e. inl anl imptssioned roeq-h in Congrvss, had urge(t the en argeineut of the free list, and hvd :iracterized certain ko the duties as axs creating a monopoly worse and nork oppressive "th-1n any granted by he ' udors in England's mi1ost despotic imie (arfield had dclaied hius(-lI I avor only ot that "protection which eads to free trade." Arthur and Grait, is President had earnestly urgf-d like rcws of tariff rt form, and there was lot a trace of the McKinley doctrine to >e found anywherein the record of the )arty or the utterances of iln leaders. But a )emocratic v'esident was in 4lic3 and there. was every inlic;tion Iat the cou:vtry was growing more nd pn.rel)emocrativ, and that powtr v14A slipping away fron the party vhich b1,.d behl it for so long. Thie eaders of the party were ready to idopt any dhevice which should ronise ,bem another chance. i'htere wvas an embharaissing and in :rearsing surplus in the treasury. The evenues were outrunning the expend Lures of the Government. It was ob pious that the taxes imposed upon the eople to meet the heavier exlpenses of war period were greater thain the leedls of the Gove-rn ment In time of lencee and unity. It wats the plain dutty of Conigress t.o educe them, and of the 1'remident i,o uiggo at that course. The taxes were of two kinds-tari if lt.ies and itlernald revenue exactions, l'he internal revenue taxes, which haid ieen very heavy during the war and or a Limen after wards, had already been abolished except those upon tobacco md( whiskey, and thi'ae had been re luced to a mimimumt. The tariff duties, n splite of the revision of 1883, remain d praict ically untouched, and they ini Iluded masny imposts which had been ~rantL-d only as compensatory its a ucans of puitting our producers upon n equality with foreigners at the time vhent revenue taxes were levied uipon omestic products. These revenue tax a had been remioved, bitt the corres onding compensatory tariff duties re lined. Under these circumstances the Ptresi ent sent to Congress a miessage urging careful revision and reduction of the arid' taxes. le was caref ul to urge the uc conside ration of a'll business inter sts in the pr~CCe. 3, and especially the yc"dance of any change oh so radical character ats to harmt any manufactu mng enterpr'ise v.hich had g rown up id,-r the protctive systemu. It was a message which any of Mr. ~leveland's Republican priedecessorts ight hnve written. Itis recoin nendi ois were precisely such as Rlep,ubli ta P residents had mnaide and R epu bli m leaders had approved and urge-d. ts spirit was conservative in atn ex -ee' e degre atod its putrpos9e patriotic. t as into ndled simply to stecuro for to oeople that r'.lief from the taxstion SriLed fromt the war period which we cond it ion of the national inances 'arranted aind Indl(eed diematnded. I htt narrow andi unpatriotic partisani uir saw lere its Opportunity. Recpiub cani leaders, who had thtemselves advo it ed a plrecisely similar policy, raised te senseless cry ot "Fr ee traide" and( SI hlemfselves to defecat in the Senate te very moderate measure of tariff re >rin arid reduct,ion which a Demo ruIc ilouse passed in responise t,o the resident's recommendation. Their it was to delude the farmers iinto the chief that somethting unpatriotic arnd itmical to the cmunrr' welfare was mitemplated by D)emiocracy; to fright r the worklngmen wit,h the bogey of osed factories or reduced wages, and give notice to ths p)rotected manu icturers that monopolistic privileges quantities to suit wete for sale at te Republican shop. T1?heir one desire was to st ay the ide popular dIspleasure and to win back y any means the power that had in 3o arge a degree slipped from their grasp. o that end they rejected a policy wvhich toy knew to be one of simple justice i the people; they repudiated all that1 icy had said upon the subject, and act it to form an alliance, offensive and 3fensive, between the 1R'publicain achine and the monopolists of the >untry, without so far revealing the rms of the bargain as to alIenate ters In the Northwest or elsewhere ho desired tariff redu'ction. it was a bold( game and It wvas skil illy played. A platform was adopted hich declared against the "destruc- ( en" of the protective system "as pro. >sed by the President and his party," t ough neither had proposed any thing t the kind. In another paragraph an .2 ingenious form of words was used which, without alarming the peopI with an open and car,did threat.of 11 creased taxation, distinctly offered pro hibitive duties to the protected mani facturers in return fcr their financi aid in the election of a President at Congress. The party pledged itself : it should carry the election, to redr,, the surplus "by such revision of ti tariff laws as will tend to check in ports of such articles as are produce by our people." So little was this clause understoo by consumers, and especially by th farmers of the Northwest, that not State in that quarter was l.)t to) th party, whil6 newspapers there whic strenuously advocated a larger fr( trade than that represented by th Mills bill continued to support th party. In Minnesota the Republican treated the whole declaration as man festly meaningless, adopted a tariff r4 form platform of their own and y( supported their party without que tion. On the other hand, so well vas ti declaration understood by the protecte monopolists that they uncr mplainingi submitted themselves to the procea which a Republican Senator describei as "frying the fat" out of them. The understood the bargain they had madi They had bought tariff legislatio "short" and were ready to put up th margin. They knew that the electioi was to be carried by corrupt purchas and thoy willingly furnished the mone for the sake of what they were to get. If there had been any doubt in thei minds as to the methods by which th campaign was to be conducted, it wa dissipated when they learned who wer the men to have chargu of it. Matthew Quay was at the head o the committee. His character was nc torious.
