The Daily lntelIigencer.
LANCASTER, ooToBER Is. lsSs.
Blalne's Hocus Focus.

Mr.. Blaine has had the temerity to ven
ture q reply TO speech Of Mr.. Mills, and
~ the latter had dealt in his usual man.
asr with substantial facts and convincing
0yures, the plumed knight did not pro.
dace very brilliant specimen of oratory.
Hs tried to argue that the reduction of
trif by the Mills bill was in fact over
: venty -four per cent, reaching this con-
o'usion by the very simple process of rul.
ing several OF the largest items out OF the
problem. Silks and liquors, which are
MT touched by the Mills bill, made a
large sum of customs revenues in the
plst year, aud adding TO this for some
unknown reason, the duty collected on
. lgar, he takes the total from the sum
ot the revenues collected, and shows that
She reduction of the remainder by the
Mills bill would have been twenty.four
Per cent. This he calls the average re-
duction by the bill, and calmly asks what
4r. Mills meant by saying that it was
only five per cent. He wants to know
whether that gentleman will tell the
wool growers and salt and lumber men
that their reduction is only five per cent.
The real wonder is whether Mr.. Blaine
VIII not carry.out his peculiar system of
reaching averages by ruling some other
things out Of the problem until he is abba
TO declare the average reduction 100 per
cent. This talk about wool and salt, and
lumber, displays his rhetorical jugglery
and the wonder is that so experienced
speaker as Mr.. Blaine should display SO
low an estimate of the intelligence of his
hearers. They knew ,and he knew that they
knew what was meant by"a five per cent.
average reduction, yet he tried to make
them believe that important articles not
reductd. silks and liquors, should, with
sugar, be left out of consideration of
the average of the whole. There is moth,
Ing secret about this measure, and the
lumbermen and wool and salt men have
as good an opportunity as any one of seeing
Just what the reduction is on each
article of the list, and figuring out the
average for themselves. The Democrats
are not afraid Of the verdict and have
distributed the bill far and wide as a
campaign document.
1t is the boast Of the party that while
reducing taxation upon raw materials OF
manufacture and necessaries OF life, it
has left liquors and silks unreduced, and
In spite of the taunt Of sectionalism, pro-
poses to reduce the tax on sugar. 1t Is
our boast that on woolen goods the re-
duction of the Mills bill is nearly 80 per
cent, while wood, salt, lumber and other
things are free; and the best indication
OF the desperate state Of the Republicans
y that they are obliged TO make their
greatest efforts among the wool, salt and
lumber men Of Michigan, whose. prosper.
+ ity they hold is menaced.

Business and Religion.

In the annual report Of the Moravian
board of missions there occur5the follow
Ing comment on the difficulty Of combin-
Ing religion and business. SIN Green
land all trade lies in the hands of the
Danish government in Labrador we
carry 1t on ourselves, aud trade and mis-
Sion work go hand in hand. In theory,
this appears to be the true ideal and yet
In actual experience TIE difficulties in
this field are far greater than in Green
land. Last year again our mission has
suffered from its connection with trade.
The trading necessitates strict rules,
particularly in respect to careless max
Ing OF debts. But for the missionary as
such TO enforce these rules, in the eyes of
the Esquimaux, seems TO be incompatible
with Christian love and mercy This
appears to afford curious example of
the difficulties that are found by laymen
In the ways Of the ideal theories of life
and conduct so easily taught from the
pulpit. These good men frankly admit
the difficulty Of practically applying
the principles they teach, but they
no doubt owe their success in
the mission field to the very
lact that they have been obliged to min
gle busineSs and preaching. They were
forced to- demonstrate the posi-
bility of practical application of the
religion that they taught. If many
OF the enthusiastic young men who year.
" enter theological seminaries with grand
and noble ideas about the regeneration of
humanity would keep away from those
hslls of learning for while and pitch
into the active tug and struggle of life
with their fellow men, they would gain
experience in few months that would
% worth more than volumes Of Hebrew
and theology. They would learn, with
these Moravian missionaries, the diff
Guilty that appears to interfere with the
application of beautiful theories and they
would be able TO talk more to the point
when they reached the pulpit.
The education and training of the
clergy OF all creeds appears to be strangely
- variance with that of the great twelve

priesthood. They were men familiar
from personal experience with the very
dihiculty found by the Moravian mission
aries. The selfish inflexible man of bust.
ness found among them men as keen and
practical, though Just and merciful. They
had all measured their strength in the
work Of life and the struggle for living or
lame and fortune. They knew just where
% draw the line between kindness and
weakness, justice and mercy, gentleness
and feebleness, and the drawing of that
itne is the best test of wisdom and char
acter. Religion to-day needs practical
Illustration more than preaching, for
many an honest citizen is like the poor
Es9uimaux, unable to make a sensible
application of the lofty principles SO
eAsily laid down by preacher with his
head in the clouds.

The President signed bill giving Mexi-
can soldiers who are 90 years of age a

a similar bill for Union veterans.
The starting up of the Welsh iron fur
naces on the prospect of the passage of
the Mills bill is as good an indication of
the working of that measure should it be-
come a law, as any one could ask. Again
the American people have reason for
thankfulness that there is an American
Senate.

nounces the Democratic State Convention
