Dr. T<^!niA|fe In n Dlaenurse on Chrls- *.(in Patriotism Takes la to Task For Our l.nek of Appreciation of the lord s Itount)', Washington, Dec. 10.—Dr. Tnluinge preiichea a discoui'sc of (Tiilstian pa triotism and shows the resources of our country and predicts the time when all the world will have the same bless ings. Ills two texts are, Revelations xxI, 13, “On the south three gates;” Tsalm cxlvil, 20, “He hath not dealt so with any nation.” Among the greatest needs of our country Is more gratitude to (Tod for the unparalleled prosperity bestowed upon us. One of my texts calls us to International comparison. What na tion on all the planet has of late had such enlargement of commercial op portunity as Is now opening before this nation? Culm and 1‘orto Kien and the t’hilippine Islands broui it into close contact with us, and through steam ship subsidy and Nicaragua canal, which will surely be afforded by con gress, nil the republics of South Ameri ca will lie brought into most active trade with the United States. “On the south three gates.” While our next door neighbors, the southern republics and neighboring colonies, imported from European countries 3,000 miles away $( 17"),000,000 worth of goods in a year, only $120,000,000 worth went from the United States—$120,000,000 out of $073,000,000, only one-fifth of the trade ours, European nations tak ing tlie four lingers and leaving us the poor thumb. Now all this is to be changed. There is nothing but a com parative ferry between the islands which have recently come under our protection and only a ferry between us and Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uru guay, Venezuela, Salvador. Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Brazil, while there are raging seas and long voyage.between them ami Europe. By the mandate of the United States all that will be changed through new facilities of transportation. The His- pano-Araerican congress, just closed at Madrid, will fail in its attempt to di vert all the trade of South America from us to Europe. An AdvertiMcnient. In anticipation of what is sure to come I nail on the front door of this nation an advertisement: Wanted.—One hundred thousand men to build railroads through South Amer ica and the islands of the sea under our protection. Wanted.—A thousand telegraph op erators. Wanted.—One hundred million dol lars’ worth of dry goods from the great cities of the United States. Wanted.—All the clocks you can make at New Haven, and all the brains you can spare from Boston, and all the bells you can mold at Troy, and all the McCormick reapers you can fashion at Chicago, and ail the hams you can turn out at Cincinnati, and all the railroad iron you can send from Pittsburg, and all the statesmen that you can spare from Washington. Wanted.—Right away, wanted by new and swifter steamers, wanted by rail train, lawyers to plead our causes. Wanted.—Doctors to cure our sick. Wanted. — Ministers to evangelize our population. Wanted.—Professors to establish our universities. “On the south three gates!” Yea, a thousand gates! South America and all the islands of the sea approximate are rightfully our commercial domain, and the congress of the United States will see to it that we get what belongs to us. And then tides of travel will be some what diverted from Europe to our is lands at the south and to the land of the Aztecs. Much of the $123,000,000 yearly expended by Americans in Eu rope will be expended in southern ex ploration, in looking at some of the ruins of the 47 cities which Stephens found,only a little way apart, and in walking through the great doorways and over the miracles of mosaic and along by the monumental glories of an other civilization, and ancient America will with cold lips of stone kiss the warm lips of modern America, and to luivo seen the Amies mid Popocatepetl will be deemed as Important as to have seen the Alpine and Balkan ranges. And there will he fewer people spoiled by foreign travel and In our midst less of the poor and nauseating imitation of the French shrug and the intention al hesitancy of a brainless foreign swell. The fact Is that many ore made vain by European travel, nud, though sensible when they embarked, they re turn with a collar and a cravat and n shoe and n coat and a pronunciation and a contempt for American institu tions and the bend of the elbow that make one believe in evolution back ward from man to ape. Of the many thousands who now cross the sea an nually thousands will on pleasure and business visit southern lands, and so tourists and merchants and sclent’'Is and capitalists will all help In this . tlonal development “On the boik three gates.” And what other nation has such openings for commercial en largement as ours? Our Happy Condltlou. Again, in this international compari son notice the happy condition of our country as compared with most coun tries. Russia under the shadow of the dreadful illness of her great and good emperor, who now more than any man In all the world represents “peace on earth, good will to men," and whose pinpress, near the most solemn hour that ever comes to n woman’s soul, Is anxious for him to whom she has given hand nud heart, not for political rea sons, but through old fashionel love such ns t)l(.S3C3 our humbler dwellings; India, under tlie agonies of a famine which though somewhat lifted hM fill ed hundreds of thousands of graves and thrown millions Into orphanttgei Austria only waiting for her genial Fronds Joseph to die so us to let Hun gary rise In rebellion ami make the palace of Vicuna quake with Insurrec tion; Spain In ('nrllst revolution and pauperized ns seldom any nation has been pauperized; Italy under the hor rors of her king’s aHHaHslnatlou; China shuddering with a fear of dismember ment, her capital In |K>KHCMHion of for eign notions. After a review of the cUiulltlpns in other lands can you find a more appropriate utterance in regard titYUL&MJ' L4tUiihv U^luuintlou vf the text. 'Tie hath not dealt so with any nation?” Compare the autumnal report of har vests in America lids year and the har vests abroad. Lust summer 1 crossed the continent of Europe twice, and I saw no such harvests as are spoken of in tills statement. Hear it, nil you men and women who waid everybody to have enough to cat anu wear. I have* to tell you that the corn crop of our country this year is one of the four lar- g« st crops on record, 2,105,000,000 bush els. The cotton crop, though smaller than at some times, will on that ac count bring bigger prices, and so cot ton planters of tlie south are prosper ous. The whcatficlds have provided bread enough and to spare. The potato crop one of the live largest crops on record, 211,000,000 bushels. Twenty- two million two hundred thousand swine slain, and yet so many hogs left! But now I give you the* comparative exports and imports, which tell the sto ry of national prosperity as nothing else can. Excess of exports over im ports, $344,400,000. Now, let nil pessi mists hide themselves in tlie dens and caves of the* earth, while all grateful souls till the churches with doxology. Notice also that while other countries are at their wits’ ends as to their finances this nation has money to lend. “Germany, we are glad to see you in Wall street. If you must borrow mon ey. we have it all ready. How much will you have? Russia, we also wel come* y» i into our money markets. (Jive us good collateral. Meanwhile, Denmark, will you please accept our offer of $3,000,000 for the island of St. Thomas?” My hearers, there is no na tion on earth with such healthy condi tion of finances. We* wickedly waste an awful amount of money In this country, but some one has said it is easier to manage a surplus than a def icit. No Sectlounl Differrncca, Besides all this, nut a disturbance from St. Lawrence river to Key West or from Highlands of New Jersey to Golden Horn of the Pacific. Sectional controversies ended. The north and the south brought Into complete accord by the Spanish war, which put the Lees and the Grants on the same side, Vermonters and Georgians in the same brigade. And since our civil war we are ail mixed up. Southern men have married northern wives, and northern men have married southern wives, and your children are* half Mississippian and half New Englander, and to make another division between the north and the south possible you would have to do with your child as Solomon propos ed with tin* child brought before him for Judgment—divide it with the sword, giving half to the north and half to the south. No; there is nothing so hard to split as a cradle. In other lands there Is compulsory marriage of royal fami lies, some bright princess compelled to marry some disagreeable foreign digni tary in order to keep the balance of po litical power in Europe, the ill match ed pair fighting out on a small scale that which would have been an inter national contest, sometimes the hus band having the* balance of power and sometimes the wife*. Besides tills we have in our country plenty of room, while the transatlantic nations are crowded—crowded cities, crowded governments, crowded learned institutions; the population crowded, packed in between the Pyreimcs and the Alps, packed in between the* Eng lish channel and the Adriatic. Yes; on our continent plenty of room. Eight million square miles in North America, and all but one-seventh capable of rich cultivation, implying what fertility and commerce. Four basins pouring their waters into the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic* and gulf of Mexico. When I hear a man expressing tfce fear that this coun try is going to be crowaed, I know right away he has not been to Texas. Franco lias about 59,000,000 of people, but Texas Is larger than France. Ger many about <57,000,000 of people, bpt Texas <s larger than Germany. Remuneration of Labor. Again. In this International compari son there is not a land whose* wages and salaries ore so large for the great mass of the people. In India 4 cents a day and find yourself is good wages, la Ireland in some parts 8 cents a day for wages, In England $1 a day, good wages, vast populations not getting as much as that; in other lands 50 cents a day and 25 cents a day clear on down to starvation and squalor. Look at the great populations coming out of the factories of other lands and accompany them to their homes and see what pri vations the hardworking classes on the other side* of the sea suffer. The labor ing classes in America arc 10 per cent better off than those in any other coun try under tlie sun—20 per cent, 40 per cent. 50 per cent. The tollers of hand and foot have better homes and better furnished. “How much wages do you get?” Is a question I have asked in Cal cutta. In 8t. Petersburg, In Berlin, In Stockholm, In London, In Paris, in Auckland, New Zealand; In Rydney, in Knmon, in the Randwich Islands, so I am not talking an abstraction. The stonemasons and carpenters and plumbers and mechanics nud artisans of all kinds In America have finer resi dences than tlie majority of profession al men in Europe. You enter the labor er’s house on our side of the sea. and you find upholstery and pictures *o4 Instruments of music. His children arf educated at the lK‘st schools. His life Is Insured, so that in ease of sudden de mise bis family shall not he homeless. Let all American workmen know that while their wages may not be as high as they would like to have them Amer ica la the paradise of industry. National Honeatf. Again, there is no land on earth where the political condition is so satis factory ns in ours. Every two years in tlie state and pvery four years In the nation we clean house. After a vehe ment expression of the people at the ballot box |n tlie autumnal election they ail seem satisfied, and If they are not satisfied at any rate they smile. An Englishman nuke<| me ill an English rail train tlfis question: "Jlow do you people stand It til America with a revo lution every four years? Would It not bo bettor, like us, to have a queen for u lifetime and everything settled?" But England changes government Just as certainly ns wo do. At some adverse vote in parliament out goes one party nud in comes another. Administrations change there, but not as advantageous ly as with us, for there they may change almost any day, while with us a party In power continues In power at leant fyur yeynj, - it is sain tnat in our country wc bn vo more dishonesty In the use of public funds than In other lands. The differ ence Is that In our country almost ev ery olllclal lias a cbance to steal, while In other lands a few people absorb so much that the others have no chance at appropriation. The reason they do not steal Is because they cannot get tbelr hands on it. The governments of Eu- rope are so expensive that sfter the salaries of tin 1 royal families are paid there Is not much left to misappropri ate. The emperor of Russia lias a nice little salary of $8,210,000. The emperor of Austria lias a yearly salary of $4,- 000,000. Victoria, the queen, lias a sal ary of $2,200,000. The royal plate of Rt. James’ palace is worth $10,000,000. There is a host of attendants, all on salaries, some of them $5,0<M) a year, some $<5,000 a year. Comptroller of the household, mistress of the robes, cap tain of gold stick, lieutenant of silver stick, clerk of tlie powder closet, pages of the back stairs, master of tlie horse, chief equerry, equerries in ordinary, crown equerry, hereditary grand fal coner, vice chamberlain, clerk of the kitchen, grooms in waiting, lords in waiting, grooms of the court chamber, sergeant-at-arms, barge master and waterman, eight bedchamber women, eight ladies of the bedchamber, and so on and so on. All this is only a type of the fabulous expense of foreign govern ments. All this is paid out of the sweat and blood of the people. Are tlie peo ple satisfied? However much the Ger mans like William and Austria likes Francis Joseph and England likes her glorious queen, these stupendous gov ernmental expenses are built on a groan of dissatisfaction as wide as Eu rope. If it were left to the people of England or Austria or Germany or Russia whether these expensive estab lishments should he kept up. do you doubt what tlie vote would lie? Now, Is it not better that we be overtaxed and tlie surplus be distributed all over tlie land than to have it built up and piled up Inside of palaces? Freedom From Oppression. Again, tlie monopolistic oppression Is less in America than anywhere else. The air is full of protest because great houses, great companies, great individ uals, are building sue!) overtowering fortunes. Stephen Girard and John Jacob Astor, stared at in their time for their august fortunes, would not now be pointed at in tlie streets of Wash ington or IMiilndolphla or New York ns anything remarkable. These vast for tunes for some imply plnchcdncss, of want for others. A growing protuber ance on a man’s head Implies Illness of the whole body. Those estates of dis proportionate size weaken all the body politic. But the evil is nothing with us compared with the monopolistic op pression abroad. Just look at tlie ec clesiastical establishments on the other side the sen. Look at those great ca thedrals, built at fabulous expense and supported by ecclesiastical machinery, and sometimes in an audience room that would hold a thousand people 20 or 30 people gather for worship. The pope’s income is $8,000,000 a year. Ca thedrals of statuary and braided arch and walls covered with masterpieces of Rubens and Raphael and Michael An gelo. Against all tlie walls dn*h seas of poverty and crime and flKq and abomination. Ireland today one vast monopolistic visitation. About 45,000,000 people in Great Britain, and yet all the soil owned by about 32,000. Statistics enough to make the earth tremble, puke of Devonshire owning 9(5,000 acres In Derbyshire, Duke of Rich mond owning 300.000 acres around Gordon castle, Marcus of Bredalbnne going on a Journey of 100 miles In a straight line all on his own property. Puke of Sutherland lias an estate wide Os Scotland, which dips into the sea on both sides. Unfortunate ns we have It here, it is a great deal worse there. The majority of tlie people of the United States arc on their way to for tunes. They will either be rich them selves, or their children will he rich. If I should put to some men the question, “Would you have a fortune and let your children struggle all through their lives In tlie same kind of struggle that you have had to make?” scores of men would say: “I am willing to fight tlRii battle all tlie way through, but glvp tpy children a eliancc. I do not cure sq much about myself. It is oply for 10 or 2U years anyhow. Give my children a chance." If there Is anything that stirs my admiration, it is a man without any education himself sending his sous tq college and without any opportunity for luxury himself resolved that thougfi ho shall have it hard all the days of hjg life bis children shall have a good •tart. And I tell you that though some of our people may have great commer- clal struggles there is going to be • great opening for their sons and daugh ters as they come on to take their places |n the world. Continuing this international fopipar: Ison, l have to say to you that tve have a better climate than is tq he found in any other nation- We do not suffer from anything like the Scotch mists or the English fogs or the Russian Ice blast or the typhus of southern Europe or tlie Asiatic cholera. Epidemics (q America are exceptional, ycry excep tional. pjenty of wood and eoal to make a roaring fire midwinter. Easy access fq seaheaeb or mountain top when the ardors of summer come down, Michigan wheat for the bread, Long Island corn for the meal, Caro lina rice for tlm queen of puddings, Louisiana sugar to sweeten our bever ages, Georgia cotton to keep us warm, in our hand all products and all cli mates.

While making tills International com* parlson let us look forward to the time which will surely come when all na tions will have as great ndvnntngc8 as our own. As surely as the Bible Is true tho whole earth Is to be gardenized and set free. Even the climates will change and the heats be cooled and tlie frigid ity warmed. Many years ago Ip (his c*ty I gazed upon q sVeno which for calamity and grandeur one seldom sees equaled. I tman tlie hi "nlng of the Smithsonian institution. It wus the pfido of our WW LSjt fttl JU“l rarest specimen:) rrr.iTi n,, mnnx min countries. It was one of those buildings which seize you with enchantment ns you en ter ami all tlie rest of your life holds you with a charm. I happened to see the first glow of the tires which on that cold day looked out from tlie windows of tho costly pile. I saw the angry ele ments rear and rave. The shout of af frighted workmen and the assault of fire engines only seemed to madden the rage of tlie monsters that rose up to devour nil Hint came within reach of their chain. Up along the walls and through the doors were pushed hands that snatched down all they could reach and hurled It into the abyss of tlame beneath. The windows of the tower would light up for n minute with n wild glare ami then darken, ns though fiends with streaming locks of fire had come to gaze on In laughing mockery at nil human attempts and then sunk again into their native dark ness. With crackle nod roar and crash the floors tumbled. The roofs began here and there to blossom in wreaths and vines of flame. Up and down the pillars ran serpents of fire. Out from the windows great arms and lingers of flame were extended, as though de stroyed spirits were begging for deliv erance. The tower put on a coronet of flame and staggered and fell, the sparks flying, the firemen escaping, the terror accumulating. Books, maps, rare correspondence, autographs of kings, costly diagrams burned to cinder or scattered for many a rood upon tlie wild wind to be picked up by the ex cited multitude. Oh, it seemed like some great funeral pile In which the wealth and glory of onr land had leap ed to burn with Its consuming treas ures. The heavens were blackened with whirlwinds of smoke, through which shot tlie long red shafts of ca lamity. Destruction waved its fiery banner from the remaining towers, and In the thunder of falling beams and in the roaring surge of billowing fire 1 heard the spirits of ruin and desolation ami woe clapping tbelr hands and shouting, “Aha, aha!” The Resurrection. I turned and looked upon the white dome of yonder rupltol, which rose through the frosty air as Imposing as though all the white marble of the earth had come to resurrection and stood before us, reminding one of the great white throne of heaven. There it stood, unmoved by the terrors which that day had been kindled before It. No tremor In Its majestic columns, no frown on Its magnificent sculpture, no flush of excitement lu its veins of mar ble. Column and capital and dome built to endure until the world Itself shatters in the convulsions of the hist earthquake. Oh, what a contrast be tween the smoking ruin on the ope hand and that gorgeous dream of ar chitecture on tlie other! Well, tlie day speeds on when the grandest achieve ment of man will be consumed and tho world will blase. Down will go g»i- Ifl'ies of art and thrones qf royalty, and tho hurricane of God’s power will scat ter even the ashes of consumed great ness and glory. Not one tower left, not one city unconsumed, not one scene of grandeur to relieve the desolation. For ests dismasted, seas licked up, conti nents sunk, hemispheres annihilated. Oh, the roar and thundering crash of that last conflagration! But from that ruin of a blazing earth we shall look up to see the temple of liberty and jus tice rising through the ages, white and pure and grand, qnscarred and nnsha- hen. Founded on the eternal rock and swelling into domes of infinitude and glory In which the hnllelullnhs of heav en have their reverberation- No flame of human hntc shall blacken its walls. No thunder of Infernal wrath shall rock Us foundations. By the upheld torches of burning worlds we shall rend It on column and architrave and throqe of eternal dominion, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but truth and liberty and justice shall never pass away.” [Copyright, IMN Lout* gloptch, X- Y J l|ue«l)ou Answered.

Do you get a tickling [sensation in the throat which only coughing will relievo, and that for a short time only ? Do you cough so hard that your stomach hurts from the effort ? Are you “stopped up’* in the headjand“throat ? Does your voice get husky ? A Bad Cold, As it is usually called, is a congestion of blood in tlie inner blood vessels of the bronchial tubes and lungs. This causes an internal fever and an inflammation of the parts congested, rap idly spreading to other parts of the body. Thus a cold begets a fever or heat. The Cause. Exposure to a draught of cold air when the body is over heated causes a sudden lowering of the temperature of the sur face of the body. The blood from the surface is driven in and tho smaller blood vessels become sutlused with more blood than nature intended them to dispose of. Congestion. The vessels swell up anil become congested, the air passages become inflamed and the mere passing of the air in breathing irritates them. This causes that tickling sensation and a cough is the result. The mucus secretions become thick and hard and increase the local fever which ensues. Proper Course to Pursue. There is only one way to cure a cold, whether it lx* an ordi nary cold or one resulting from “ grippe”, and that is to pro mote a free flow of the secretions and relieve the congestionj The Remedy—Dr. Wofford’s Expectorant. It promotes a free flow of the secretions, scatter.-, the con gested blood back to its circulation ami restores the s ipprossed ; »es to their normal condition. I’rii ( 1 2«)0 r " T. co.
