At the Chestnut street Church.

The union revival services were con-
tinued last night at the Chestnut Street
M. Il. Church, where the Rev. T.. p
Telford took for his text. "Go, borrow
thee vessels abroad of all thy neigh
bors, even empty vessels borrow not a
few.'-IL Kings, 4:3.
Borrowing for the Lord" was
the subject chosen. The preacher
pictured the two young men,
sons of the poor widow when they start
ed out that morning to borrow vessels of
their neighbors and their success at diff
ferent houses, how one had no faith in
miracles and SO he could do nothing for
them another would not help them be-
cause their father should have provided
for them another could not give up q
certain vessel which proved TO be the
liquor barrel; another. young lady.
gave very small vessel. but large.
handsome rose-jar she could not give up.
The rose jar represented the world and
its pleasures and she could give very
little Of her attention TO religion aud by
far the greater part of il to the world:
Another woman hadn't time Just then
---"call again "a little later" and when
they called again she was not ready then.
SO many procrastinate, and though
meaning to become Christians some
time, die without doing so. Another,
poor woman like the borrower gives
them the largest vessel she has in the
house because she was in sympathy with
them. Many people are easily led TO
Christ, because, having been brought up
in the atmosphere of the gospel, they are
in sympathy with it. The speaker con
cluded 10y direct application of
his illustrations to his audience !:
"Over there" said he, IL sec a man who
would come to Christ, but he does not
feel as if he can give up that large YES
sci which. on examination, l find TO be
his liquor barrel over there is another
who has no time now, and another who
cannot give mp the world. if the Lord
had your vessels he would have you in
no time
After the sermon an invitation was
given TO those who wished TO become
Christians 10 rise, and several responded
10 the invitation. The last half hour of
the meeting was spent in labor, each
with the nearest neighbor who was not
a Christian.

Ohio has fred the opening gun of the
presidential campaign of 1892. She
has again indorsed the principle of
protection. and has set herself up as a
bulwark against the free silver craze.
She was asked to declare herself on
these two primal questions dividing the
politics of the nation, and her deliver
ance has been a most notable one.
We would that the republicans of
some of our sister states had faced the
campaign on national questions rather
than have allowed the enemy to fasten
them down to campaigns turning upon
quibbles. or in which personalities and
other utterly inconsequeDt things were
made the dividing lines between the
voters. The republican party always
has been party of principle. and has
won its victories upon great issues rath-
er than in campaigns which resemble
nothing so much as children's quarrels.

PROTECTION VICTORIOUS.

Republicans Always Win on the Tariff
Mistake of the Party Managers in New
York-Lessons from the Elections.
Since the advent of free trade in the
deceptive garb of tariff reform" as the
main issue in American national poll
tics, the opponents of protection have
never failed to read the results of every
election, whether state or federal, as
evidence CT the growth of free trade
sentiments among the people. That
they have for the most part refrained
from attempting to twist the results of
this Novemb ber's elections into a verdict
favorable to Cobdenism may be taken
as indisputable proof that they regard
Mr. McKinley's election to the COVER
norship of Ohio as crushing defeat for
free trade in the country at large. And
such indeed is the lesson of the Ohio
elections.
In New York the republican mana
gers made the mistake of catering to
the mugwump vote, which they hoped
to win for Mr.. Fassett so far as to elm
mate the tariff issue from the cam
paign.
1t was not the first time New York
republicanism was lured by the delu-
sive mugwump bait, and the result this
time was exactly what it was on former
occasions New York republicanism
found itself safely hooked on the barbed
point of substantial democratic ma
jority. We hope they have now learned
once for all that every mugwump vote
they succeed in securing will keep half
a dozen straight republicans away from
the polls, and that the one never-failing
slogan to bring out the party vote is,
protection to American labor and in
dustry.
Ohio stands to-day as witness of that
fact. In Iowa and Massachusetts,,
while men personally hostile to protec-
ton were elected, yet the tariff was of
minor importance compared to the local
questions which were responsible for
the results Mr.. Mckinley made a fight
fairly and squarely on the tariff, and
was met as fairly and squarely by his
opponent, Gov. Campbell The strong
est champions of both sides took part
in the tariff question. The result was
the change of the IL, ,000plurality which
Mr. Campbell received in 1889 to a mag
nifcent plurality of more than 10000
for protection, the largest given to any
governor of Ohio since 1871. That is
the way the tariff works as an issue
among American citizens
So let New York republican leaders
remember. when next they have cam
paign on hand, to hoist the banner of
protection. Let them send for McKin-
