the ratio Of members OF Baptist churches to
the entire population Of the United States was
90 CO; now the ratio is l 10 2l-that Is TO
say. the Baptists have increased as fast as the
population, and this, too, without the help Of
immigration.
Nearly all immigrants from Europe have
been Roman Catholics or Lutheraus. The
Episcopalians and PEesbyterians in this country
haze been strengthened by immigration from
Great Britain, but not the Baptists.
The following important facts have been thus
teysely stated by "a writer already quoted {:
From loG0 to lSo0 the increase IN member

ONLY IMMERSION.

Ina revival in Winter Of 1863, 4, in one Of the
regiments Of the Sixth Corps young Sergeant
who had been converted was told By the Chap
lain that he ought 10 be baptized. Very
we'll" said he "if that IS rcs'lations." IL
was n soldiers answer. A soldier is trained 10
obey orders, and If Christ, his Captain. COM
manded him 10 be immersed, the boy was read
20 obey. And 50 Bgptlsts adhere to the pTac-
tiCe Of immersion. for they believe that that is
Scripture reg lations.'
Ii is objected by some that this is mere lit
eTalism that, granting that baptism is strictly
immersion, aud that immersion alone was
pFacticcd in the earliest times, yet the idea Of
baptism is that of washing OF publication, and
As washing IS attained by pouring or spriuk-
1 ling as we'll as by Immersion, these are in sub
/ stance a compliance with the command, and in
| spirit are a fulfllment Of the ordinance.
But can baptism be regarded as merely q
publication Jesus's baptism Of sorrow was
not publication. for the Holy One needed no
such. Many of the Fathers referred the bap-
which they viewed not as publication, but a
| submcrson in waves of burning.
Should we grant that the original idea in
4 baptism was publication, II still remains that
/ the Apostles in their mention of baptism into
the death Of Christ attribute to baptism the
| symbolism Of death to sin and rising again t
4 a new life through faith 10 Jesus, who
WAS BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN.
| The Apostolic immersion, then, was a symbol
Of burial and resurrection. Referring TO thi,
| fact, Luther says:
"On this account could wish that such n.
are baptized should DO immersed in the water
! IL would be beautiful to have SO full and per
feet a sign Of so perfect and full thing; as
also without doubt il was instituted by Christ.
Pouring aud spriukiing caguOt be regarded
as meeting even the spirit and idea OF the hap
tismal command, for they contain no symbol o.
| the death aud resurrection OF our Lord which
idea Is paramount in Apostolic baptism. Tn,
act Of washing contains nothing whatever @
distinctively Christian symbolism, for il i
found in the Jewish Ritual, nay, in purely
| heather ceremonies.
Only burial in water can be regarded a.

For PTesbyteFaus to say that none bat bap-

muniou and then to blame the Baptists for not
inviting them is TO say that Eagtists have 10
right to consider them unbaptiZcd that Zap
lists have no right TO the opinion that there is
no baptism but immersion on profession OF
faith-n other words, that Eapt.sts have no
right TO be Baptist3. But the Bap.i5ts answer,
"Whcn you show US that baptism in infancy,
a mere sPrinLling, ia tru" baptism then we
will regard you as baptized, and will invite you
10 the Communion, but so long as we find in
Scripture no baptism but the immersion on
profession Of faith. which you have not re-
ceiyed, we must regard you as uubaptized, and,
on your own doctrine that baptism must pre-
cede the Lords SUPPER we are unable 10 invite
you"
As to the growth of the Baptist denomina-
tion, il may be remarked that in 1850. CEN
fury after its rise in this country, there were
Only some GO churches, with not many more
than 5000 members. Then came tho great re-
visal under Edwards and Whitefield, which as
has been remarked, was preached strictly on
Baptist lines, aud in 1865, nearly IS years later
there were reported l37 churches, an increase Of
moro than 12j per cent Twenty-Five years
after that in $780, there We're reported S72
churches, with about 600 members. Twenty
two years later, III 1872, are reported 2,633
churches, with 20ilsj members. In 1878 the
Bap'ists Of the United States numbered about
10000. They now number over 100000
while in Great Britain and on the Continent Of
Europe and in mission fields are about three
quarters Of million more.

They DO our business as we'll rs their own,
and though we ship the most Of the foreign
goods which the country uses, our shipments
are al made through these French and German
merchants, aud % per cent. Of our goods are
handled by them. We might manage the
whole thing ourselves if We would only look
into il, but we are content 20 let them do IT,,
aud tbey get the bulk of the profit. The Ger
mans are day pushing their way into every
part OF Mexico, aud ! am stoppingat hotel run
by a German, and the guests are largely German
merchants. j met q German capitalist who has
a cotton factory here, and he tells me he finds
a big demand Tor his goods. The drug business
OF Mexico seems To be largely managed by the
Germans, and find the hardware stores almost
universally belong 10 them. 4 great many Of
the dry-cpOds stores arc owned by Frenchmen,
and the corner groceries and the lottery osiab-
lisameuts are kept by Spaniards. The best
business houses seem 10 be foreign ones and the
Mex cans Go only tic smaller kinds OF business.
There are only two purely American mercantile
institutions in Mexico City, and though we ship
a great deal OF machinery into Mexico, a great
part OF il Is handled by a German firm, which
has made a fortune out of the business, aud the
original partners of which have retired. This
Dr. not as 1t should be. We practically own the
railroads OF Mexico, we are 1900 miles nearer

10 suppose that We are going 10 get even our
share oi them without working for them. The

they will never sell American goods where they
can put in European goods, aud they run down
America, both rs 10 its goods aud lis men, al

The American tin industry has received

The American tin industry has received
another black eye. this time on the Black
Fills side of its countenance. In late
issue of Hardware, DR.. E. W. Clsypool,
q professor of Buchtel college, OHIO. and
one of the editors of the American Geo.
logist, makes the following statement Of
an examination of the Black Hills mines;
During u recent visit to the Black Hills
made somewhat hssty examination of
the tin deposits, where occurring, and of
which so many reports have been current
during the past few years. l found that
there are numerous tin veins, or rather
granite veins containing csssiterite, lying
around Harney's Peak. Some of thsm are
very thick and others tin. Some OF them
carry fair proportion of tin ore. Many
are barren. The proportion is very vsria-
BILE and is never high. This is usually the
case with tin. The veins are no better
than those in Cornwall, so far as can be
determined by the exposure at and near
the surface. One mine has reached a
depth of $50 feet and one or two others
are nearly as deep. No ore is as present
dressed in the hills. Indeed, there is
scarcely enough taken from all the mines
together to keep stamp mill Of fair siz9
at work.
Lsbor is high and water is not every
where abundant. A large mill was erec-
ted some years ago. but it worked for
three months only. This was the Ezra !"
Another is placed at "Glendale," but is
also standing. The present attitude in
the region is one of suspense, and it is
difficult to say what the next move will
be.
1t may be mentioned, adds the Indian
apolis Sentinel, that enough increased
price of tin is being taken from the pock-
