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

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 ? Tue happiest, 1
andu the brightesi, and the fairest. in all t
tbpaven--who are they ?" Arid the an- 1

RepublIcan colleagues voted it down
with an overwvhelming emphasis. Here
is the principal part of the aumendl

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. His embezzlunie of publi
mitoney had not, then been specificall
expozed, as it has be-i smnee by th
World, but it was known in a gener
way. It was perfectly kno wn that hi
