Bishop McTyeire was accustomed to
say with great deliberation and much
"All hortatory preaching
must have an exeSetical basis" This
witness is true. The first business of q
Christian preacher is TO unfold and eX-
plain the truth contained in his text.
The application and enforcement of
the truth may follow after. In fact, it
ought always to do SO. We are great
ly greved to notice the manifest decay
of the hOrtatory gift among our
preachers. There was O time when
every man of them knew how to urge
the unconverted to immediate action
in the matter of their salvation, and
to press upon Christians the impor-
tance of going OH to perfection. Has
this knowledge been lost? Let there
be revival at this point.
Nnshrille Christian Adrocdtr.
There is nothing that so tranquilizes
the human spirit as sense of the di-
vine favor. The peace Of God is an
anodyne for all our pains, and charm
for all our griefs. 'There be many
that say, Who will show MS any good
Lord, lift thou up the light Of thy
countenancc upon us.n So prayed the
Psalmist, and added, believing his
prayer to be at once answered, "Thou
hast put gladr ess in my heart, more
than in the time that their corn and
their wine increased. j will .h55tti1ff- lay
me down in peace, and sleep; for
thou, Lord, only makcst me dwell in
safety"

Tbs passage of service pension
bull by the House of Representatives.
last week is the carrying out of a
promise that was made 10 the boys
in blue moro than 4 quarter of CEN
fury ago. While it is not AZ liberal
in its provisions as some of the meas
ures suggested, yet it is a. broad rs
probably eau be passed at the pres
emit time.
The payment of the many millions
of dollars quarterly to survivors of
the war, is a financial measure of a
much greater benefit than is com
monly supposed. 1t ia a distribution
of money among those who instantly
pay it out again, and thus keeps in
circulation an amount of money that
otherwise would be OF no benefit.
The merchant, the farmer and all
classes are benefited by 1t. So that
while the Government will be doing
patriotic thing by carrying ont its
promises, it is also financially aiding
the people and helping those who
need it.

heard recently OF his contemplated
resignation. Some correspondents
are evidently little out of gear.
But while the secretary has not
thrust himself upon the public visv
he is none the less hard at work on
his cherished project Of cementing
the two Americas, both in friendship
and commerce. As to the FIRST he has
about succeeded in the arbitration ar.
ticies, whereby each promises not to
fight again, but to settle differences
IN an amicable manner, and the saga
cious statesman still has his spperb
mental equipment in train to secure
such a commercial understanding as
will rebound to the benefit of his
countrymen.
President Harrison second veto
about knocked the average congress-
man "s;lly" to use yulsarism, for
nearly all of them have a pet project
or two in the way of public build
ing. The conservative minds In
congress. though, commend the stand
taken by the president as it is well
understood that these public building
measures go through congress by
the log-rolling process, whether need
ed or not, on the principle among
members of ~ tickle you and you
me-" The veto however, will not
interfere with the success of public
building measures of real merit, as
no intention exists to put stop to
government operations ia the build
ing line, but it Is likely TO LEAD to
the adoption of some prescribed and
systematic plan under which con-
gress can act IN a business way.

whi;h he richly deserves.
* We contemplate making some
changes in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
with the beginning of the next vol.

tractiveness and usefulness. Those
changes will entail a large additional
outlay of money. We hope our

light you in the future as we have not

x An exchange prints an inter.
view with Senator Ingalls, in which
the Senator expresses a strong hope
of re election to the Senate. Hope is
a radiant thing, and no one can be
sorry that she turns her bright face
towards, and beams upon the pictur'
esque Senator from Kansas. We are
reluctant to dispel the fond conceit
which Mr.. Ingalls, INDUCES. But 8
strong sense of phiIanthropic ooligs'
ton forces us to say, that infinitely
more numerous are the disappointed
predictions of radiant Hope than are
those that have been fulfilled by the
events. If the members of the Kan.
sas legislature are true men the Sen
ator will find ere long that radiant
Hope has been to him nothing but 8
painted faced siren whose song was
sung to deceive. So mote it to!

A PLAIN QUESTION.

Does The PROGRESSIVE FARMER ad-
wise the members of the legislature
who are pledged to vote for Senator
Vance to disregard their pledges 2
Let the people have an answer
NeU8 and Observer.
Most certainly The Progressive
FARMER does not, never did, and
never will, advise any member of the
legislature, or anybody else to disre
gard a pledge to do anything If any
man pledged himself to vote for Sen
ator Vance, and violates his pledge,
he viii show himself unworthy of any
mans confidence.
This is our idea of political morality.
We wonder if it suits the NeDs and
Observer. Has our contemporaries
moral furniture gotten awry, that he
should ask us so elementary a question
in political morals ?
If our friend should get in any
other moral tangle in the future we
hope he'll ask US about it. We always
take pleasure in imparting instruction
to those who need it.

1T DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

DRESIDENT HARRISON pre-
Il tends to think the Mckinley bill
has not been tried long enough to en-
able the people to see its effects upon
prices.
We went to a friend the other day
to buy a breech-loading shot gun;
and we were told that 35 per cent.
must first be added to what the same
gun cost last year; and then six dollars
must be put upon the 35 per cent. ad.
dition, before the price at which the
gun could be nov sod was reached.
We wanted a pocket knife; and our
dealer said we must pay one dollar
and ten cents for our favorite blade.
We demonstrated, by telling him we
eve paid more than sixty cents for
that make of knives in our life. Our
friend smiled and simply said, "you
have forgotten the new tariff upon
knives We are satisfied the new
law has taken effect hereabouts.

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS,

DON'T write to The PROGRESSIVE
IL FARMER unless you have some
thing important to write.
2. Write short articles. We dc
not want long essays. Nobody reads
long articles. Make it short, and to
the point.
8. Don't mix business matters with
communications. Write what you
want published on one sheet, and
what you want to say on business on
another. Don't write at all unless you
can write moderately good English.
The editor has no time to rewrite
your articles and you should not ex-
pect him to do it.
4. Write items of news on a postal
card. The editor will agree to make
verb and noun agree in an item on a
postal card. But he cannot agree to
do so if your article is long.
5. When you write for us use
simple words. Words of Learned
length and laundering sound" are
out of place anywhere; and they are
especially so in a newspaper article.
An old saw illustrates this very well.
A young man in the olden time drove
up to a farmers house, and a negro
man came to care for his horse and
buggy, upon which the young man
delivered himself to the following
effect:
"Disengage the q%uadruped from the
vehicle and stabulate him with an
abundant quantity of the nutritious
aliment commonly called hay; and,
when the Aurora bedecks the eastern
horizon, l will reward you with a
pecuniary compensation"
The negro called his master, and
sold him, There is a Dutchman out
here
The young man would have done
SO much better if he had said: Gun
hitch the horse from the buggy, put
him in the stable and give him plenty
of hay; and, in the morning [ will
give you a dime"
Use simple words. In long words
there is often a meaning lurking
which plain people do not suspect.
6. Please believe that it will do the
editor good to print what you write,
if it is worth printing.
We do not want you to wait until
you a write elegantly and accurate
ly. But if you have anything to say
to the public, send it on in short,
pointed articles, and it will delight US
to print it. We are honestly in sym,
pathy with all who desire to help US,
and re will be as kind and indulgent
as We can.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

DERS ms who know President
Il Harrison well say he is endowed
with a conscience, that is sensitive to
the slightest shades of moral distinc
ton; and men who live near his per
son in Washington declare him to be
a sincere and humble Christian. But
the message which he sent to the Con
gress last Monday is not creditable to
his moral perceptions, nor to his Chris
tan chara ter.
In this message the President seeks
to justify the iniquity known as the
Mckinley bill; and the only argu-
ments he employs for that purpose
are sophistries and sel6shness. How
car any man, with an unbiased judg.
ment, argue, for example, that a pro
tective tariff can benefit any but the
owners of the manufacturing estab-
lishments of the country? Does the
President of the United States not
know that such a tariff as that EN-
bodied in the Mckinley bill enhances
the prices of commodities used by the
great masses of the people? Does
not the control of a home market
mean that consumers are forced to
buy all sorts of manufactured articles
from those whose manufacturing
plants are located in this country {?
Have not these manufacturers, who
are protected from outside competi
ton, the power to charge consumers
any price for their wares that falls
within the value prescribed by the
tariff? Suppose, for illustration, that
the tariff upon axes is forty per cent.
ad UalOrem = that is, forty per cent. of
the value of axes after their manufac
ture. Cannot the manufacturers of
axes add the forty per cent. to the
output of their factories, and force
every man who buys an ak to pay
forty per cent. more for it than it
would cost him if competition were
not shut off by the tariff Does not
this illustration apply to every article
protected by the wicked-the deliber.
ately and meanly wicked-legislation
which Mr.. Harrison seeks to excuse
oAN PO4 PObuoG0 LII u1S M0SsdS0.G 1u0
Mckinley bill then brings no benefits
to the consumers of the country.
But the President uses the old,
threadbare argument-the resource of
sophisters and fools, to say nothing of
knaves,-that the tariff inures to the
benefit of workingmen. Let us see.
Suppose Andrew Carnegie to be in
possession of the intire iron and steel
industries of the country. Suppose
further, that the workingmen engaged
in making iron and steel in the mills
of this great metal king are not salts
fed with their wages, and demand an
increase of pay. Let US suppose,
moreover, that their demand for ad-
vanced wages is denied, as such de,
mands usually are. What follows 2
One of two things. The men work on
at the unfair and unsatisfactory rate
of pay, or they strike for an increase.
If they work on, they do so under the
sickening sense of wrong and injustice,
because they have no mean of CON-
