METHODIST SERVICES.

At the First M. K. church last
night the Rev. a. Hoffman preached
to large audience from the 22d of
Exodus, 4, 5, verses. After the open
ing hymn had been sung, "Work, for
the Night is Coming" and prayer
had been offered, the choir, Messrs.
Hoffman, Kaufman and Black sang,
after which the 9th chapter of John
was read, another hymn sung and
then came the sermon.
Among the reverend gentleman's
remarks were the following; "God is
good, all His attributes mentioned in
holy writ declare this. There seems
to be injustice in making one man
suffer for the sins of another, but
when we consider Gods holiness and
detestation of sin, we can not accuse
him of injustice" The reverend gen
tlemen agreed with Mrs. DR.. Hoffman
that the physical and moral defects
of parents are branded upon their
offspring. There is no sin, no evil
habit possessed by the author of an
others being, but the offspring is
tainted by it. Family pride is right
pride. The purity of ones offspring
a manly pride. What is true of indi-
viduals is true of families, what is
true of families is true Of communi-
ties and commonwealths. Remem-
Der, God will not judgela man by his
size, however noble physical speci-
meu of manhood he may be, but he
will punish mans moral depravity.
God will punish sin and will punish
it severely. Society demands that
crime shall be punished, and God de-
mands the same. Judgment deferred
is not judgment annulled, your sins
will fud you out, and God will not
grant absolute freedom from the con-
sequence of sin.
But not all infrmities or defects
are due to parental transgression;
there are people suffering for another's
fault continually. The highest kind
of love is that which is willing to
suffer 1t takes a great deal of suffer
ing to impress one simple fact, and
that fact is that God vista the sins of
the father upon the children. Better
accept the offers of salvation now.
Better accept Jesus now than be pun
ished forever.

General Sickles in line.

One by one the Republican hopes melt

from Democracy this year the Rcpub-
lican managers tried TO claim Gen

Sickles has accepted Democratic nom
ination for congress in these words:

McKinley's Pet-The Cordare Trust.

The dolngs Of our tariff trusts some.
times come to light and give the people
an opportunity TO see what becomes OF
the tariff taxes which they vote To these
monopolies in order TO protect Amer.
can labor" The Cordage trust, known
to our famers as the Binder Twine trust.
has recently suffered the loss Of one of
its members, Mr.. John Good, who makes
the statement in drawing out of it that
it had been paying him $2jO,00O Q year
to keep his factory shut down.
What becomes OF the extra profits
which were to 90 to labor when a single
manufacturer thus gobblos up $3.50, 900
by shutting down his establishment and
throwing labor out of employment:
And what advantage does the farmer
get from the tariff when factories are
Shut down for the purpose of raising
pricest The promise of the Mckinley
ties Is To increase competition, to in
crease production, and thus lower prices
to the consumer. But this result cen
never follow in industries which are
controlled by trusts, since monopoly
will have its profits, whatever is left
for the labOrer and the consumer.
When the Mckinley bill was under
discussion in the United States senate
tn Democrats, with the aid of a half
dozen Republican senator's from the
northwC cnrried an amendment put
ting bi- g., me on the free list, hut
McKiui,y and his followers in the house
succeeded IN restoring a portion of the
duty TO the trust before the bill was
finally passed But Mckinley is not
satisfied with this result. lie has ex-
pressed the opinion that the duty , not
high enough, and he hs openly pled ed
himself TO the trust to raise the duty
whenever he finds himself able to do so.
Let farmers see toit that he never gets
that opportunity.

STRIKING EXAMPLES.
American Goods Cheaper
: Abroad Than Here.
A WORD ABOUT BICYCLES.
Sewing Machines Made Here Also
Bought Lower in England.

Two striking instances of the way in
which the Il publican system of protec-
tion is used 10 rob the American citizen
aud bench; the foreigner have been
brought To the attention Of the Demo
cratic national committee. One relates
to bicycles and the other to sewing ma
chimes. An American who was in Eng
land last August desired TO get "A Victor
bicycle, and he wrote 10 see what il
would cost In reply he received the
following letter from the president Of
the Overman Wheel company (Which
manufactures the Victor wheeD, who
happened to be in England at the time:
FIRST AVENUE HoTEI, HoLnURN.l
LONDON, W C., Aug. ID.
DEAR SIR Replying TO your inquiry for Vic

cushions here. IL IL marvelously good. We

Awaiting your commands, | am very truly
yours, A. IL. OvERMAN.
So by means Of the peculiar workings
OF Republican protection a buyer IN
England can get a bicycle for S100
which at the place of its manufacture in
this country cannot be got 10y an Ameri-
can buyer for less than $l35.
The sewing machine affair shows still
more strilingly the advantage Of the
foreign buyer. At the headquarters Of
the Domestic Sewing Machine company,
at Broadway aud Union square, New
York, they asked fifty dollars freight
extra) for a good machine. A Texas
woman. who was in Leeds, England, a
short time ago, got the price of a Domes-
tic machine there, and was assured by
the agent that he could sell her one at
q cheaper rate than she could get in
America. He agreed to deliver a ma
chine at her home in Texas for six
pounds, or thirty dollars. She accepted
the offer. and in due time the machine
arrived and is now in use. SO the wom-
an saved twenty dollars and the freight
by buying in England.
