without the moulding influence Of
Christianity. The Romanist must

schools; the Mormon to practice
monOgamy; the Indian to worship
the only true and living God; the
Chinaman 10 adopt the principles OF
Christian religion, and the anarch-
ist TO keep the Sabbath and honor
the eternal principles Of Gods work.
The alarming condition OF portions
Of our country calls for still greater
vigilance anu effort upon the part Of
the church. Even New England,
which in many respects is the most
favored part Of our country, is
threatened by an avalanche Of
propagandists Of the ROmish Church.
The middle States are threatened
with a tidal wave Of immigrants
from Europe, the majority Of whom
would gladly wash away old land
marks ofthe puritans, il not their
religion.
"rhe country is today standing
aghast at the rising clsud Of ignO-
rance and immortality among the
freemen Of the South, which threat
ems to Overspread our political sky
with gloom. The Northwest is
trembling over the top of a.volcano
that may at any moment shake into
pieces its prOudest political and re-
ligious fabrics. The Southwest is
groaning under the domination OF
Rome. The WasAtch Mountains
are holding today in their bosom a
fetid pool that threatens 10 devastate
the contiguous States and Terri
tories. The Pacific Coast is
THREATENED WITH HEATHENIsN.
'Infidelity, intellectual and prac-
teal, is everywhere striving 10
overthrow our Protestant Christi
anity. 1t has the tongue Of the
orator and the ear Of the pOpulace.
Ii Is becoming every day more and
more resOlutely formidable and
bOastful, but Christ's Gospel, the
power Of God unto salvation, can
meet such threatening evils"
DR.. Roberts added that, notwith-
standing all this, hopeful prospects
are not wanting TO encourage the
church in home missionary work
and urged renewed effort More
men are needed, particularly in the
west. The foreign field is also call
ing for more men and means. An
other task to which the church
should lend her energies is TO instruct
her members In the meaning oftrue
stewardship and the use Of money.
No department Of Christian work
has so poorly developed as pecuniary
offerings. The church must set forth
more emphatieally the connection
that exists between the accumula-
ton Of riches and Gods blessings.
At the afternoon meeting Rev.
William l.. Moore, Of Columbus,
Ohio, was elected moderator, several
reports were accepted and dates set
for debates thereon. The report Of
the committee on Church Unity
stated that a cordial response was
made TO the overtures of the bishops
Of tine Protestant Episcopal Church.
Correspondence also has been had
with the chairman Of the Csngresa-
tioral Council. The resolutions ac-
companying the report deprecate the
undue multiplicity Of churches Of
different denominations in small
communities. 4 continuance OF
negotiations with the Protestant
Episcopal and Congregational
Churches was recommended.

AND 80 On.
senator Teller Resumes His speech
on the silver Bill.

wAsHINGToS, May BIN the
Senate today Teller resumed his
argument in criticism Of the silver
bill.
There were two features Of the bill
which should be amended, he said,
if the bill was TO perform the two
things which its friends proposed to
accomplish by it-that was 10 raise
the price Of silver and 10 give the
country an increased circulation. 1t
was absolutely essential, in the first
place, that the treasury notes pro-
vided for in the bill shOul1 have the
highest possible money function. II
one Of the principal duties Of money
discharge Of indebtedness) was de-
MED il, its depreciation and a
suspension Of silver purchases
under the bill would re invited.
He did not deny that the passage
of the bill would put the price Of sill
yer up. Its very introduction had
done that, because IL was apparent
to the people abroad that II the
United States government consumed
the entire silver production Of the
country (one-third Of the worlds
product, there would be a demand
for silver that could not be met II

and did anybody believe that these
people were now ready to surrender
their vantsge and adopt financial
system that would relieve the tax
ridden debtors Of this country and
the world, and put them back ON the
plane where they were in 1873?
The energies Of those people were
beyond calculation. Their avariee
was only equalled by their energy.
They could put silver at and above
par " hen they wanted to, and II they
could thereby destroy silver rs a
money metal, and then, when the
United States government would
not buy silver under the pen..1g
bill, they would come back and say:
''We told you that silver would not
do for macy. We told you ii was
not suitable money metal, ami that
you would have to go to the only
suitable money-g0ld.v Was 1t a
delusioD, he asked, to SUPPOSE that
that would be done:

THE PRICE UP TO PAR.

He did not know exactly what par
would be. He supposed sl.2D per
ounce would be called par in the
United States. 1t would be less in
Great Britain and less in Europe.
II put. the price one-eighth Of one
per cent above par, purchase under
the government bill would cease,
and the great interest arrayed
against silver would obtain their
ends. This was no vain supposition
nor imagination ON the part Of the
people who wanted 10 have silver
used as coin. 1t was borne out by
the facts.
There was n party, not In the
United States alone, but all over the
world, that held the credits Of the
world, that took toll from all quar-
tiers; that levied tribute on enter
prises, and that was arrayed against
silver. For seventeen years that
party had ruled the whole civilized
world. 1t had added one-third 70
the material debt Of the United
States by legislation and had added
an equal amount to State, munich
pal and individual debts. Those
people had enriched themselves at
the expense of the many. Colossal
fortunes had been built up in the
United States and Europe within
seventeen years, which had no par
alIel in the history Of the world
fortunes equal in extent 10 those

whether, even without the demone-
tization Of silver in 1873, its price
would not have fallen.
Teller replied that when silver was
demOnetized a silver dollar was
worth intrinsically n dollar and
three cents and a fraction. There
was nothing at that time to indicate
that silver was going TO fall. There
had been an increased product in
the world, reaching TO $4,000, but
there had been no suggestion in the
public prints Of the world that there
was any danger Of an over-produc-
ton Of silver. II the United States
had remained on double
standard, and II the demone-
tization OF silver in Germany had
brought down the price Of silver,
and ifthe Latin Union had restrict
ed silver on account Of the German
silver on the market, the minis Of
the United States would have been
opened Immediately 10 the coinage
Of silver, and every silver owner
could have taken his silver 10 the
mint and had il converted into legal
tender money, against which there
was then, at least, no prejudice any
where.
The question now before the SEN
ate was one Of vital interest 30 the
people. l: was a question as TO
whether the people Of the United
States were 10 continue in advance
ment or at 4 siand-till. 1t was n
question as to whether the continual
dropping Of prices for fifteen years
was 10 continue, 10 the enslavement
Of men, to the destruction Of enter
prises, and 10 the special destruction
Of the debtor claSs-the greatest and
most numerous class in this country
and in all other countries.
There l. in this body
A MAJORITY OF MEN
who believe that there is a righteous
and just demand for the free coin
age Of silver. Some of them may be
retarded by pressure from other
quarters. They may be retarded by
the fear that We will not be able TO
enact n free eOinsge bin into n law.
My duty Is done when / exercise

free coinage act, an act which will
relieve the sufierings Of industry,
increase opportunities and bring
prosperity, not TO the farmer alone,
but TO every class Of men deserving
good legislation.
Coke next addressed the Senate
in favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. He declared that
the persistent defiance of the pOpu-
lar will by the executive department
Of the government for the past sew
enteen years was one Of the most
remarkable facts in the history Of n
free representative government. He
could not support the bill as reported
from the finance committee. Ii

ing 10 the secretary Of the treasury

silver Of that purchased should be
coined into money, and, rs the Sec
rotary held there was already
TOO MUCH SILVER COINED,
he was sure that with that discre-
ton in the Secretary, not another
dollar would be coined. That provis-
ion Of the bill was neither more nor

perfect bill.
Butler asked Teller to give his
idea Of the effect Of the free coinage
Of silver on international monetary
arrangements.
TELLER SAID
that everybody had to admit that
the proposed bill whether 1t were n
scheme Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury to pile up bullion in the
Treasury Department and pay II out
on demand OF the note-holders, or
an amendment reported by the
finance committed was temporary
affair. No one member OF the
finance committee would claim that
II was a permanent thing. They
said Il was temporary; they were
waiting 70 see what the current Of
events was going TO be, and then
said 10 the friends Of silver coinage,
"You oughtto accept this bill. 1t is
not, il Is true, a full restoration Of
silver 10 Its money functions, but it
Is halfway house a. which you
can stop for n while, and when you
have gathered strength, go on.
The bill, he said, was a halfway
scheme. Ii afforded no relief what
ever, except in making a special
market for silver in excess Of the
present government demand Of two
millions n month. II It were pro-
posed 10 restore silver, 1t would have
10 be given its full money func-
tons. There were ut least nine men
in the world calling for silver as
against one man calling for gold.
There were not more than l25, OO0,-
900 Of people that preferred gold.
Silver was the chief money. Silver
was better adapted for use as money
than gold. While he was himself a
bi-metalist, If there was to be only
one money standard, he would well
come the silver basis in the interest
Of his race and Of the people Of this
country, and the sooner it was
reached the better for American in
dustry; the better for commerce; the
better for trade; the better for every
thing.
