POINTER TO FABMMS. WHY THE PRICE OF PRODUCE IS SMALL. tatnmnnt by Far mo Which IB Worthy of Uio Cons! tin ration of Every Tiller of tho auU Theory. This subject may be answered to perfect satisfaction, U' people will only at facts. A practical farmer once said he would rather own a good farm in the vicinity of a mine than to own tho mine.

Ho said if the mine was worked he could make moro money Belling produce to the minors than the owner of the mine could make; that if the mine was not worked it was not worth anything, and he could always make a living out of his farm. This statement of this practical farmer is worthy of serious consideration. The farmer can always do well if there Is a demand for his produce. When ho e.ous consuming country and ho win ucc. The whole cast) lies in the simple fact that free trade gives tho work to the hundreds of people who live in tho old world and Lakes it away from our own people.

It was the free trade vote or 1S02 that caused what the platform adopted by tho recent convention in this city called "cessation oC our prosperity," Instead of that condition being traceable to any conduct of the republican party it is directly to tho panic produced when this country voted for free trade-. It is part of tflio work of the republican parly to rectify that tremendous Commercial. Great Britain is enjoying an era of unexampled prospprity.

THE righteous God IK a loving Cod, sionaries have to be paid in gold. Recently in India the silver rupee has edly employed. 0 We no more of diminished in value to such an extent bread riots on Trafalgar square and tho walking delegate has been silenced.

The transit ion from pinching want and spiritless idleness to copious plenty ami lively employment is coincident with the gradual operation of the Wilson free trade- bill. Although it may be entirely unrelated to it, the fact is, that mills were closed and English workmen idle while the Mclunley bill was on tho statute book; now tho mills are going and tho workmen are employed and we have the Wilson bill and general stagnation. Give tho English manufacturer a free and practically unrestricted market in this greatest and most vora- makes a crop he wants soraobody to buy it. Look now at the facts; if tho mills and factories are not running. the mines are loss worked.

If tho mills and factories are idle many other Industries stop. Activity in manufacturing besots activity in many other things; railroads, steamboats and wagons all have more to do; merchants have more to do; everybody has more to do. The moro there is to do the moro people are employed to do iAll who are employed get wages. What they get they can pay out for what they want. The more people there are at work one! getting pay the more money is in hand ready to bo expended for the farmer's produce.

But some one will say all these people have to live anyway and havo to be fed. Yes but this difference apjiears: People may live very economically and cheap; they would like to live better, but they have no money unless they have work, and they do on 'just as little as possible. A family can live, if one member gets as much as a dollar a day, but if two or throe mwn- "hers of the family each gets two dol- lars- a day Uiat family will livo just that much better. Some will now say it is extravagant for people to livo they 1 ought to be economical and all that. fv -Let the man who says this reflect on how much his family expends.

Pie por- haps thinks his income of one, two, or 5" three, or five thousand dollars a year is little enough. Why does he not livo on a dollar a clay? The truth is it is but a natural privi- lege that a man wants when he wants to live better than merely keeping alive. If the people can get good pay It is their privilege to want to use it for home comforts. A man naturally wants his wife and children to have some of the good things of cai- pet, rocking chair, some books, some nice clothes. Nobody wants to be cramped down to the bare necessities iv of life.

If people have work they will live more liberally nnd in greater and thereby they will spend more money, and the farmer will have more people to sell get more money what he has to sell. Now, we had just as well try to make run up hill as to try to have busy factories in the country without protection to our American industries. Free trade says the people of the old world can makt, all sorts of goods and hring them to this country free of duty. If that is done of course the of this country will bo out of a job. What our people want is the Job.

They want the work. Free trade says let any man have the job, no matter whac country ho 'lives In. Protection says we will give to our own people. We will run factories and mills in this country, and this will open the mines, and this will work for railroads and steam- toats and waapns, and everybody else rwill have more to do. Men will have be em-ployed ar.d they will get pay, and they will have money to spend for the farmer's produce.

The pitiful cry ot the free trader is a man ought to be allowed to buy keep his workmen busy. By the same license the American manufacturer is forced to close his mills and throw out of employment his workmen. This is not a theoretical platitude; it is a ponderous verity which is being illustrated most vividly by contrast between that 0:10 denomination has boon compelled to make great additions to its budget in order to equalize the salaries of missionaries in that country. I know of a. denomination with whoso affairs I am familiar that sends about ride or trod, He follows t'fle path that the Master trod.

And lie lives by the Master's plan. The world is narrow for all that throng Hungrily over its hills and plains; And ever its prizes adon: the strong, in gold from this country every year to foreign missionaries. Under free coinago, if silver became more and moro our money, and we had to tako contrasts on a silver basis, you can readily see what the effects would be. When I first went to Europe, it was during the civil war; I had to go, and I said to a man, go to Boston and buy me six hundred dollars worth ot gold. He went and came back.

Bad not bought any. He said that gold had gone up to 1.20 and that ho did not want to waste my money like that. I said to him, go and chase it and get it. He went, and the next night came back and reported that it had gone tip to 1.33, and that he certainly did not want to waste my money-at that rate. I said I must have it, oven if you can i As Wrong Seizes its rarest and 1'airesL gains.

May we not all, as mothers, learn the meaning of this precious promise? We know how full our hearts are of love and sympathy for the little ones who come to us in their hour of trouble and fear, and how tenderly we gather them in our arms and comfort them our words of love and cheer. Is it not strange that with this p-'ctical demonstration of truth in our lives with our children we so often i'Drgct the precious promise, and try to struggle on alone wilh our burdens of sorrow and fear?

Now, mark; at i'r-3 time I bor vorites arc yelling for more free trade and for free coinage of silver In the same breath. It is not pleasant for an American to contemplate this marked condition with the condition presented in 1S91 1S02.

He feels like kicking himself and everybody else for being deceived by the free trade cry of '92 and opening our markets to Great Britain to our everlasting injury. To him the tariff is the great issue in this campaign, notwithstanding the emotionalists are barking up the free coinage tree. Therefore lie will vote for return of the industrial prosperity which rowed, gold was selling in the United States at 1.6C, and in less than six months after I came back I had to pay 2.22 for it; and it had been up and down according to our success or defeat in the war.

The money in which the wages of laborers are paid, being measured by the silver standard, has steadily shrunk in value during recent years.

In other words, a week's wages in 1SS9 would buy 3t! pounds of sugar; in 1S91, 31 pounds; in 1S94, 29 pounds.

We cannot keep butter in tho relation to calico which it bora no years ago. We remember when butter was at 5 to 1 as compared with calico; but to-day calico Is at 5 to 1 as compared butter.

The changed ratio of butter to calico is due not to the gold bug, but to the fact that the labor of man now has more to do with producing a pound of butter than with producing a yard of calico.

It was late in the morning. A casual remark ot the gentleman as to the lateness of the hour for breakfast led to the following reply: "I am late because 1 was tired.

I i danced last night until I blistered my feet." 1 "May I ask one ciuestion?" the preacher said, and with consent he asked, "Did you ever blister your feet in the service of your Redeemer?" A scornful look and a hasty retreat was the result. A bystander anil mutual friend remarked that the question was faithful though rather severe. The two wondered what would come of it. For several days the lady avoiiicd her friends, and, in fact, was invisible. Nearly a week passed.

Then followed an interview, at the request of the offended lady, who, with real distress, confessed that, although angry at the preacher's question, she had been unable to justify herself, nor had sleep been possible since the morning of her confusion. "God has forgiven me," she said. "I come to ask your pardon, and that you will tell me how I can blister my feet in the service of Christ. I am ready to do it now, nnd before I do anything else; I waiii to do it very much, indeed; I wane to make myself weary in liis service. I will do anything to atone for the waste and folly of the past.

It has been so heartless of might have been expected to assent at once but it happened that the drawing room was occupied, and tho guests not being Christians, she iolt that their presence might interfere the devotions.

I have found out that Jesus Christ died on the cross for me; I have given myself to him, and now I am going to in- vito him to my house. While I offer my first family prayer you can remain, if you will.

I leave it to your choice." The lawyers all declared they would be Rlad to remain, and did so while their host conducted his dcvoiions.

Japan's currency has been steadily depreciating under the silver standard, the common people growing poorer. The populists continue to assert that there was bimetallism and tho co-Gqual circulation of gold and silver as legal tenders down to "the crime of 1873." Yet in all that time only S.000,000 silver dollars were coined, and in 1873 not a silver dollar was in circulation.

The act of 1S73 simply recognized the fact of its non-existence as currency. Since that act upwards of 400,000,009 silver dollars have been coined, and they arc kept in circulation by the device of silver certificates and the promise of tho government to maintain United States to -promote a larger monetary use of silver.

At a summer resort not long since, says an exchange, a clergyman and a lady sat on tho piazza of tbe hotel. The lady's heart was heavily burdened, and she talked of her sorrows to the aged minister, who tried to lead her in her hour of need to the Great Comforter. Hia efforts seemed to be in vain; the lady had heard all her life of the promise that if a tired soul casts its bur- tlen cm the Lord it will be sustained, no matter how heavy that burden may be, but she seemed to lack the faith to thus cast upon the Lord. A half-hour afterward a severe thunderstorm came up in the western sky. With the first (lash of lightning the mother jumped out of her chair and ran up and down the piazza, exclaiming: "Where is Freddie? Where ity so long as its principal mission is jg FrGddlc? He is so terribly frightened to pay liie foreign foi goods that ought to have been manufactured in our own country; so long as the chief avenue of its expenditure points away from Instead of towards home.

Four years ago our money was also active. It paid to American workingmen the highest average wage they liatl ever received; it kept our indue- trios busy turning out the largest production they had ever known; it moved the wheels of commerce in all directions, caused the largest known consumption of the products of our farms and, in short, brought'to every, legitimate interest in the United States a them at a parity with go-cl. But with degree of prosperity without previous the free coinage of silver on private account this obligation would cease, and those who should receive the sil- parallel.

In a few momenta afterward her boy came running up the walk, almost breathless, and his face plainly show- lag the great fear that was in his h-ewt. "Qh, mother," he exclaimed, "I was so frightened, I ran just as fast as ever I could to get to yon." The mother sat down and took the frightened child in her arms.

She allayed his fear and quieted him; until his head rested calmly on her loving heart. The good minister stepped up gently, and putting his baud on the mother's shoulder, ho whispered: "As one Hjmn. The invocation hymn for the reccni. Christian Endeavor 'convention in Washington was written by Col. John May at the request of the Rev.

T. S. Hanilin, pr.stor of tbe Church of the Covenant, Washington, and, in the opinion of many who have seen it, it will become popular as a hymn at all such gatherings. It is as follows: INVOCATION. Lord, from far-severed climes we come, To meet at last in Thee, our home.

Thou, who hast betn our guide and guard, Bo still our hope, our rich reward. Defend us. Lord, from every ill; Strengthen our hearts to do Thy will; In all we plan, and all we do, Still keep us to Thy service true. Oh, let us hear the inspiring word Which they of old at Horeb heard.
