In discussing the final destiny of this
tion it makes all the difference in the
>rld whether we are on the way to a
.ncral or a wedding. The Bible loaves
o doubt on this subject. In pulpits
1 on platforms aud in places of pubncourse,
1 hoar so many of tho
ed drums of evil prophecy sound
s though we were on the way to
Tmal interment, and besides Thebes
Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery
'cad nations our republic was to be
Suibcd, that 1 wish you to underhand
it is not to be obsequies, but nup
tials; not mausoleum, but carpeted altar;
not requiem, but wedding march;
for "thy land shall bo married."
A propose to nauo mnnr ot *t lie suitors
vho arc claimin the hand of this rcublio.
This l?nd is so fair, so beautill,
so aflluon' that it has many suit
jrs^ vad.if will depend much upon your
jvice whether this or that shall be accepted
or rejected. In the first place,
1 rcntarl: There is a greedy, all grasping
monster who comes in as suitor
seeking the hand of this republic, and
.hat monster is known by the name of
"**^opoly. His scepter is made out of
*on of the rail track and the wire
*7 ' "^A*hy. lie does everything for
w dvantagc ami for the robbery
"pic. Things wont on from
'-^e until in the three legisln^jw
York, New .Jersey and
?.ia for a long time monopoly
/erything. If monopoly favijc
it passes; if monopoly oppose
lK,P1is rejected. Monopoly stands

Monopoly hold in his one hand
(.^?am power of locomotion and in
her the eloctrioity of swift comar\ti
on. Monopoly has the KepubP?ny
in one pocket and the l>cmoeuparty
in the other pocket. Modecides
nominations and clcciclty
elections, state elections,

the votes of legislators, giving
I'free passes, giving appointments
Sidy relatives to lucrative positions,
(.{ying them as attorneys if they arc
carrying their goods for If)
. jent. less if thoy arc merchants,
1 f he find a case very stubborn as
las very important puts down bc hiin
the hard cash of bribery,
ut monopoly is not so easily caught
i as when during the term of Mr.
hanan the legislative committee in
of our states explored and exposed
manner in which a certain railway
tpany had obtained a donation of
9 die land. It was found out that
he senators of that state received
f> Otllk omAntr fliA.n ltd lim.nk.nru a f
lower house of that state received bcoeu
$5,000 aud $10,000 each, the
vernor of that state received $.">0,000,
3 clerk received $5,000, the licutcnlt
governor received $10,000, all the
lerks of the legislature received $5,000
ach, while $">0,000 was divided among
he lobby agents. That thing on a
arger or smaller scale is all the time
oing on in some of the states of the
onion, but it is not so blundering as it
used to be, and therefore not so easily
exposed or arrested. 1 tell you that the
overshadowing curse of the United
states today is monopoly. He puts his
hand upon c\ery bushel of wheat, upon
every sack of salt, upon every ton of
coal, and every man, woman and child
in the United States feels tho touch of
that moneyed despotism. 1 rejoice
lhat in 21 states of the Union already
nti-monopoly leagues have been cstabshed.
Ood speed them in the work
of liberation.
1 have nothing to say against capitalists;
a man has a right to all the money
he can make honestly. 1 have nothing
to say against corporations as such;
without them no great enterprise would
be possible, but what 1 do say is
that the same principles aro to be
applied to capitalists and to corporations
that are applied to the
poorest man and the plainest laborer.
What is wrong for me is wrong lor great
corporations. If I take from you your
. property without any adequate compensation,
j am a thief, and, if a railway
damages the property of the people
without making uny adequate compensation,
that is a gigantic theft. What
is wrong on a small scale is wrong on a
large scale. Monopoly in Hngland has
ground hundreds of thousands of her i
best people into scmistarvation, and in |
Ireland lias driven multitudinous ten- ;
ants almost to madness, and in the
United States proposes to take the
wealth of sixty or seventy millions of
people and put it in a few silken waljh
Mete.
? Monopoly, brazen faced, iron lingered,
vulture hearted monopoly, offers his
hand to this republic. He stretches it
out over the lakes and up the great rail
roads and over the telegraph poles of the
continent and says: "Here arc my
heart and hand. He mine forever."
/ Let the millions of the people north,
south, cast and west forbid the banns
of that marriage, forbid them at the
ballet box, forbid them ou the platform,
forbid them by great organizations, forlorn
by the overwhelming senti- I
'an outraged nation, forbid theui
protest of the church of God,
*> 1 i i ' w II l> I I Mfci' M ? ' I
forbidlthcm by prayer to high heaven.
That Herod shall not have thin Abigail.
It shall not be to all devouring monopoly
that this land is to be married.
Another suitor claiming the hand of
this republic is nihilism.
lie owns nothing but n knife for
universal cutthroatory and a nitroglycerin
bomb for universal explosion,
lie believes in no Clod, no government,
no heaven and tio hell except what ho
can mako on earth, lie slew the czar
of llussia, keeps many a king practically
imprisoned, killed Abraham Lincoln,
would put to death every king and
president on earth, and, if he had the
power, would climb up until he could
drive the God of heaven from his throne
and take it himself, the universal
butcher. In Franco it is called com
munismjin the 1'nitcd States it is called
anarchism; in Russia it is culled nihilism,
hut that is the most graphic and
descriptive term. It means comploto
and eternal smash up. It would make
the holding of property a crime, and it
would drive a dagger through your heart
and put a torch to your dwelling and
turn over this whole land into the possession
of theft and lust and rapine and
murder.
Where docs this monster live? In
all tho towns and cities of this land. It
offers its hand to this fair republic. It
proposes to tear to pieces the ballot
box, tho legislative hall, the congressional
assembly. It would take this
land and divide it up, or rather, divide
it down. It would give as much to the
idler as to tho worker, to the had as to
the good. Nihilism! This panther
having prowled across other lands has
set its paw on our soil, and it is only
waiting for the time in which to spring
upon its prey. It was nihilism that
burned the railroad property at I'itts i
burg during the great riots; it was nihilism
that slew black people in our
northern cities during tho war; it was
nihilism that mauled to death the Chi i
nose immigrants years ago; it is nihilism j
that glares out of the windows of tho i
drunkeries upon sober people as they <
goby. Ah, its newer ^ci
Jvc.r A,sicu. I praytiod its power may |
never be fully tested. It would, if it ;
had the power, leave every church, f
chapel, cathedral, sehoolhouse and col- '
lege in ashes. i
bet me say it is the worst enemy of t
the laboring classes in any country. <
Tho honest cry for reform lifted by op- ?
pressed laboring men is drowned out by 1
the vociferation for anarchy. Tho *
1 *i.~ ? 1 ? i
i milium iiuu i m.: Vilg.lUUIIUM WHO rnilgC I 1
through our cities talking about t' ir ' 1
rights, when their first right is the pi
itcntiary?if they could he hushed up,
and the downtrodden laboring men of 1
this country could be heard, there would i
be more bread for hungry children. In
this land, riot and bloodshed never
gained any wages foi the people or
gathered up any prosperity. In this
land the best weapon is not the club,
not the shillalah, not firearms, hut the
ballot. Let not our oppressed laboring
men be beguiled to coming under the
bloody banner of nihilism. It will
make your taxes heavier, your wages
smaller, your table scantier, your children
hungrier, your suffering grenter.
Vet this nihilism, with feet red of
slaughter, comes forth and offers its
hand for this republic. Shall the banns
he proclaimed? If so, where shall the
marriage altar be? and who will be the
officiating priest? and what will be the
music? That altar will have to be
white with bleached skulls, the officiating
prie?t must be a dripping assassin
the music must he the smothered groan
of multitudinous victims, the garlands
must be twisted of night shade, the
fruits must be apples of Sodom, tho
wine must be the blood of St. Bartholomew's
massacre. No! It is not to
nihilism, the sanguinary monster, that
this land is to be married.
Another suitor for the hand of this
nation is infidelity. When the midnight
ruffians despoiled the grave of A.
T. Stewart in St. Mark's churchyard
everybody was shocked; but infidelity
proposes something worse than that?
the robbing of all the graves of Christendom
of the hope of a resurrection.
It proposes to chisel out from the tombstones
of your Christian dead the words
"Asleep in .Jesus," and substitute the
words, "Obliteration?annihilation."
Infidelity proposes to take the letter
from the world's Father, inviting the
nations to virtue and happiness, and
tear it up into fragments so small that
you cannot read a word of it. It proposes
to take the consolation from the
brokenhearted, and the soothing pillow
from the dying. Infidelity proposes to
swear in the president of the United
States, and the supremo court, and the
governors of states, and the witnesses
in the courtroom with their right hand
on Uainc's Age of Kcason," or Voltaire's
"Philosophy of History." It proposes
to take away from this country the hook
that makes the difference between the
United States and the kingdom of Dahomey,
between American civilization
and liornosian cannibalism. If infidelity
could destroy the Scriptures, it
would in 200 years turn the civilized
nations hack to scmibarbarism, and
then from scmibarbarism into midnight
savagery, until the morals of a
menagerie of tigers, rattlesnakes and
cliimpanzcs would be better than the
morals of tho shipwrecked human race.
The only impulse in the right dircc
tion that this world has ever had has i
come from the Hiblc. It was tho i
mother of Koman law and of healthful i
jurisprudence. That book has been tho i
mother of all reforms and all charities <
mother of English magna charta and 1
American declaration of independence. :
Hcnjamin Franklin, holding that holy 1
book in his hand, stood before an in- I
fidel club in Paris and read to them out I
of the prophecies of llabakkuk, and
the infidels, not knowing what book it (
was, declared it was the best poetry <

George Washington down on his knees I
in the snow at Valley Verge, and led i
the dying l'rince Albert to ask some I
one to sing "Rock of Ages." t
1 tell you that the worst attempted i
crime of the century is the attempt |
to destroy this hook. Vet infidelity, i
loathsome, stonchful, leprous, pestifer- 1
ous, rotten monster, stretches out its i
hand, ichorous with the second death, c
to take the hand of this republic. It f
stretches it out through seductive mnga- ?
zincs, and through lyccum lectures, i
and through caricatures of religion. It
asks for all that part of the continent t
already fully settled and the two-thirds J
not yet occupied. It says: "Give mo (
all cast of the Mississippi, with the keys 1.
of the church and with the Christian h
printing presses. Then give me Wyom- s
\ ^ f
ing, givo iuo Alaska, give uii Montana
give mo Colorado, give 1110 all tho statoi
west of ihe Mississippi and I will tak<
those places and keep them by right o
possession long hoforc the gospel cai
be fully intrunchcd.
And this suitor presses his caso ap
pallingly. Shall the banns of that mar
riagc bo proclaimed? "No!" say tin
home missionaries of the west, a martyi
band of whom the world is not worthy
toiling amid fatigues and malaria ant
starvation. "No, not if we can help it
By what we and our children havo suf
fered we forbid the banns of that mar
riage!" "No!" say all patriotic voices
"Our institutions wore bought at tot
dear a priee and were defended at tot
great a sacrifice to bo so cheaply sur
rendered." "No!" says the God ol
Bunker Hill and Indopcndcncc hall and
fi.i ?u .1: i ---? ?t.!_ __
\iuti/ouui p;. i um nut muri hum iiu
tion for such a farce." "No!" cry 10,
000 voices. "To infidelity this land
shall not ho married!"
But there is another suitor that pros
enls his claim for the hand of this republic.
He is mentioned in the verse
following my tc*t where it says, "As
the bridegroom rcjoiccth over the bride,
so shall thy Cod rejoico over thee." It
is not my figure. It is the figure of thr
Bible. Christ is so desirous to have
this world love him that he stops at tie
humiliation of simile. He compares his
grace to spittle on the eyes of the blind
man. lie compares himself to a hen
gathering the chickens, and in my text
he compares himself to a suitor begging
a hand in marriage. Does this Christ,
the King, deserve this land? Behold
Dilate s hall amlthc insulting expectoration
on the face of Christ. Behold
1 lie Calvarean massacre and the awful
hemorrcagc of five wounds. Jacob
served I I years for Kachcl, hut Christ,
my Lord, the King, suffered in torture
Id years to win the love of this world.
As often princesses at their very birth
ure pledged in treaty of marriage to
princes or kings of earth, so this nation
it its birth was pledged to Christ for
liviuo marriage.
Before Columbus and his 12(1 men em
nirked on the Santa Maria, the l'inta
tnd the Nina for their wonderful voyige
what was the last thing they did?
I'licy sat down and took the holy sacra
ncnt of the Lord Jesus Christ. After
hey caught the first glimpse of this
jountry and the gun of one ship had
innounocd it to the other vessels that
land had been discovered, what was the
long that went up from all the three
leeks? "Gloria in excclsis." After
Columbus and his 120 men had stepped
from the ship'sdeck to the solid ground,
what did they do? They all knelt and
consecrated the new world to God. What
did the Huguenots do aftcrthoy landed
in the Carolinas? What did the Holland
refugees do alter they had landed
in New York? What did the pilgrim
fathers do after they landod in New
England? With hended knee and uplifted
face and heaven besieging prayer,
they took possession of this continent
for God. How was tho lirst American
congress opened? Ity prayer, in the
name of lesus Christ.From its birth
this nation was pledged for holy mar
riage with Christ.
And then see how good God lias been
to us! Just open the map of the continent
and see how it is shaped for immeasurable
prosperities. Navigable
rivers, more in number and greater
than of any other land, rolling down on
all sides into the sea, prophosyiug large
manufaetuies and easy commerce,
hook at the great ranges of mountains
timbered with wealth on the toj
and sides, metaled with wealth underneath.
One hundred and eighty thousand
square miles of coal. One hun
dred and eighty thousand square miles
of iron. Tho land so contoured that
extreme weather hardly ever lasts more
than three days?extreme heat or extreme
cold. Climate for the most part
bracing and favorable for brawn and
brain. All fruits, all minerals, all harvests.
Scenery displaying an autumnal
pageantry that 110 land on earth pretends
to rival. No South American
eart hnuakes. No Scotch niisl* Nr
London fogs. No Kgpytian plagues.
No Germanic divisions. The people
of the United States are happier than
any peoploon earth. It is the testimony
of every man that has traveled
abroad. For the poor, more sympathy
for the industries, more opportunity.
Oh, how good God was to our fathers,
and how good he has been to us and out
children. To him?blessed be his
mighty name?to him of cross and
triumph to him who still remembers the
prayer of the Huguenots and Holland
refugees and the pilgrim fathers?to
him shall this land he married. Oh,
you Christian patriots, by your contributions
and your prayers hasten on the
fulfillment of the text.
We have been turning an important
leaf in the mighty tome of our national
history. One year at the gates of this
continent over 500,000 emigrants ar
rived. I was told by the commissioner
of emigration that the probability was
that in that year 000,000 emigrants
would arrive at the different gates of
commerce. Who were they? The paupers
of Hurope? No. At Kansas
City I was told by a gentleman, who
had opportunity for large investigation,
that a great multitude had gono through
there, averaging in wordly estate $800.
I was told by an officer of the government,
who had opportunity for authentic
investigation, that thousands and
thousands had gone, averaging ?1,000
in possession each. I was told by the
commission of emigration that 20 fami
lies that had recently arrived brought
^85,000 with them. Mark you, families,
not tramps. Additions to the nalional
wealth, not subtractions (herefrom.
1 saw some of them reading their
Ifihlcs and their hymnbooks, thanking
?od for his kindness in helping them
cross the sea. Some of them had Christ
n the steerage all across the waves and
;hoy will have Christ in the rail trains
ivhich at 5 o'clock every afternoon start
or tho great west. They aro being
aken by tho commission of emigration

into gardens, if you will build

Are you afraid this continent is goine

The one State of Texas is far larger
. than all the Austrian empire, yet tho

r larger than all France, and Franco supports
30,000,000 people. The one State

THE CROPS AND WEATHER.
What the Department of Agriculture
i
Says About Them.
The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition of the weather and
crops of the state issued Wednosdayby
i the South Carolina section of the
climate and crop service of the United
States weather bureau:
The week ending May 20th averaged
i over four degrees cooler than usual,
with an extreme minimum of U> degrees
at Walhalla on the 2.r>th.
i The rainfall for the week was heavy
. at a few widely separated points, but
[ was generally light and insufficient to
, relieve the prevailing drought. In
some localities no rain fell. The need
of rain is general and is indicated for
, all crops. Hail fell over the central
and eastern count ies on the 22d, but in
Spartanburg, Union. Orangeburg and
Colleton only was any considerable
damage done, and over small areas in
those counties.
The dry weather was favorable for
cultivation; farm work make rapid progress
and held crops arc free from grass
and weeds, bate planted seeds arc not
all up, and large areas remain to be
planted to corn and cotton should the
ground become softened sufficiently to
permit preparation within the next
fortnight.
Where moisture is lacking corn is
turning yellow, and late plantings are
not up. Over about half the State the
crop is in good condition, and over the
more easterly counties is being laid by.
Worms and grasshoppers have dam1
aged corn in places.
The cool weather was unfavorable
, for cotton, which is making slow
growth, and in a few localities is infested
by lice. Late plantings not up.
Sea island cotton has good stands.
Late tobacco settings have poor
stands, and in a few localities the
plants are dying for want of moisture.
Karly plantings are doing well.
Worms have appeared in one county.
Wheat is ripening and harvesting has
begun. Wheat and oats arc below
former expectations, tho latter being a
short crop generally for fall sown and
a failure for spring sown. The wcath
cr has been favorablo for harvesting.
Kicc is doing well i 11 most districts
and has good stands. In Colleton somo
. fields arc infested by caterpillars Hoeing
has begun in the (Georgetown district
and is well advanced elsewhere.
Melons, sugar cane and minor crops
generally continue promising. Truck
farms in tho Charleston district wcro
visited by heavy rains and arc greatly
improved.
Some few peas have been planted on
stubble lands but the ground is generally
too dry. No improvement in tho
fruit prospects.
Raisincr Tomatoes.

ing well. Then set your plants in rows
three feet apart, and two feet apart in
rows, running north anil south, if possible.
in order to secure hotter advantage
of the sunshine. Cultivate by plowing
and hoeing. When the plants
begin to bloom top the stem
just above the tirst cluster of
flowers, so that the flowers terminate
tho stem. The cftcct is that the sap is
immediately sent into the buds next
below the cluster, which soon push
strongly and produce another cluster of
flowers each. When these are visible
tho branch to which they belong is also
topped down to their level. This is
done five times in succession. Hy this
means the plants becoino stout, dwarf
bushes, not over 18 inches high. In
addition to this, all the laterals arc
nipped oft. Treated in this way, the
fruit acquires a beauty, size and excellence
unattainable by any other means.
Further, if tho leaves and trimmings of
the tomatoes be made into a strong tea
and sprinkled on tho cabbage, it will
kcepolF thoso troublesorao green worms.
Willed Away His Wite.
Ham T. Jack, of New York, willed
his wife to his brother .James 0. Jack.
The last testament of the actor and
theatrical manager, proprietor of several
theatres, '"Creole," and other burlesque
companies, who died April 27
last, was tiled for probate today in the
oiTico of the surrogate. It contains this
remarkable provision: '"It is my wish,
first and foremost, that my brother
James and my wife Kmma shall become
husband and wife." James C. Jack
was asked if he would accept the bequest
of his brother, but he would
make no statement.
