''And Jesus knew their thoughts, and
said unto them, Every kingdom divided
against itself is brought to desolation;
and every city or house divided against
itself shall not stand; ami if Satan cast
out Satanic is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand?"
! June II, 1858, Abraham Lincoln, in
| joint debate with Stephen A. Douglas,
at Springfield, ILL.,, uttered this memoir
able declaration on the subject of slav-
cry, much quoted in the stirring con-
troversies which afJerward followed.
1--WE are now" said he. star into
the fifth year since policy was initiated
with the avowed object and confident
promise, of putting an end to slavery
agitatiOns. Uuder the operation of that
| policy, that agitation has not only not
ceased. but has constantly augmented.
| In my opinion, it will not cease until
| crisis shall have been reached and
passed. "a house divided against itself
| cannot stand [ believe this govern
ment cannot endure permanently half
| slave and half free. L do not expect
the Union to be diSsolved-I do not ex-
| pect the house to fall; but | do expect
it will cease to be divided. 1t will be-
come all one thing or all the other"
The words of the worlds immortal
! Savior, repeated by the savior Of the
| nation. strike every unprotected Amer
! lean breast to-day with double force.
! Every kingdom divided against it
self is brought to desolatiOn: and every
| city or house divided against itself shall
| not stand"
| Can anything be palmer. or come
| from higher authority? Does not the
| late civil war testify to the truth of this
| doctrine with more blood and treasure
| than was ever poured out to establish
| any one fact, divine or human? And
| still, in violation of the laws
| of God and man. we are fac
ing the same problem with greater
force and under darker cloud
| than ever. The house is divided
against itself''-part are sailing under
| the strOhg hand of protection. accumu-
lating wealth and enjoying the highest
Injuries and comforts OF life. while an
! other part are unprotected. out in the
| cold. growing poorer every year, and on
the down grade at rapid and destruct-
| i've pace. Never was house more
sadly divided against itself.
In the twenty-sixth verse. the divine
teacher says: And if Satan cast out
Satan, he is then divided against him
self; how shall then his kingdom
stand?" Will the protectiOnist
CAST OUT PROTECTION?
He will when ''Satan casts out Sa-
| TAM not before. We will all be dea6s
and buried when the devil divides his
| kingdom and casts himself out doors.
| The people who are waiting for the pro-
tectlonistS to give up protection, and
stop taking money they do not work
| for, will wait in vain-they are looking
! in the wrong direction there is
| quicker and shorter way to get
| rid of Satan than waiting for him to cast
| himself out. Let every unprotected
| man join hands and kick Satan out the
back door. That is the way to get rid
| of him. He will never kick himself out;
| that is JOB he is not contemplating.
| When the Republican prpteetioniSt tells
you he is going TO kick himself outdoors
and hand you over his pocketbook, don't
| you sit down and wait for a square meal
| for him tn do it. He is lying to you.
| The longer you wait the poorer you will
| get. and by and by you will be SO al
mighty poor you cant raise a finger to
| fight him. and he will have grown SO
! rich and strong that he will be a king
| while you are slave. The protection
| list going to kick himself out doors
| Satan going TO east out Satan" Isn't
| that grand and brilliant hope for
monopOlists and trust combinations to
| hold out to Western farmers?
| The poor. unprotected struggler ON
| cold prairie looking for relief from
| The Old Boy himself. There are thou
| sands who believe it. thought waiting,
naked, poor. despiSed, f0rsaken." for
| Satan to become saint and get up and
| give them comfortable seat. Boys,
| you are tooling yourselves. Satan pro-
| poses to have you serve him: he is never
| going to serve you, only when you chain
| him down and make him. Year after
| year he has been singing the same old
| song, and to-day you are more in his
| power than ever. The organization of
| the last congress shows it. Every man
who is living OH farm, digging his liv-
| ing out of the ground. can swear he is
| growing poorer every year. The I'M
| protected man is out in the cold freez-
| ing, while he who is protected is drink
| ing champagne and smoking fragrant
| cigars in palace by a warm fire. And
| this is the fellow you are waiting for to
! divide with you--waiting for him to
deed over part of his kingdom. l met
| that broad-faced, smiling. kind hearted,
whOle-SOuled mali, 5. 5. Eaton, in ST.
| Paul a few days ago. and he said he had
Es
and it was quite late at nlgh6 when he
read one of them, and after he went to
bed
HE HAD A DREAM,
or kind of nightmare. He dreamt he
| died. and as all the preachers had been
predicting. he did not go to heaven.
| But he went to that place, where ice is
| not known, and when satan is not en-
gagged in dividing mis- kingdom and cast
| ing himself out-But he was casting
others in at a lively rate-and when
brother satan got to the door he stopped
! to argue the matter-aS OH the outside.
| he saw large number hanging on
hooks about like meat hung up in
/ butcher shop. He asked why those fell
lows were hanging there. and his sa-
tanic majesty said, they were graRgers
who had been voting TO protect mOnUp-
oily. like iron manufacturers and trusts,
and they came there so green, that they
had to be hung out to dry before they
| were fit to take in. He said they were
so green, they would put the fire out if
| he should throw them on without being
| seasoned.
In the language of the great and good
Lincoln, Il believe this government
cannot endure permanently half slave
| and half free-1 do not expect the house
1
be divided. 1t will become all one thing
or all the other"
Give all protection or give all free
| trade. Ii the principle of protection
| has or could be honestly and justly car
| Tied out, should throw up both hands
| for it.
But when it comes to protecting few
and letting ali the rest hustle for them
selves, it is not a square deal; and if
there is anything in this world that will
make men or nations fight, it is to feel
and know they are not getting their
rights In fact, this is at the bottom of
all wars or quarTeIs. The American
colonies fought because they did not get
a square deal on taxdtIon-that is all the
trouble in the United States to-day.
Part are forced to carry more than their
share OF the burdens. There will not
only be row till this is righted, but
there
