for his subject 1.-THE Power OF the Bal

can but think that if more people could
understand exactly what they are doing
when they cast their ballots, the coun-

from that which we have at this time.

A number of our young gentlemen the

clothes and heart smashing smiles, only
to be met at the door by the surprised

After a few awkward questions and ex-

Rev, j. w. Robinson addressed a full
house Sunday evening ia the M. E.
church. His subject Was 'sThe Power OF
the Ballot" Every voter must have
gone away feeling that he PLAYED part
in these scenes Of the nineteenth century.
II he (the voter) used the power placed
within his hand, intelligently, with his
scotscience debating for peace,4for right
and Tor God then noblv he performed his
part. On the contrary with ignorance,
greed and vice guiding hin, what an un-
wholesome part to play, how disastrous
to the nation. Our executive officers
are the voice Of the people. The laws
made by them are the laws of the peo-
pie. The enforcement OF the laws OF the
non-enforcement lies with the power
behind the throne. Our officers are in
structed to quaranteen contagious
disease that threatens the lives OF the
people. But far worse is the demon
alcohol than any yellow feever or small
pox. Better if the mandood and
womanhood of the land be exposed to
the. scourge ol disease then exposed to
the saloon with it's deadly poison. Let
the voters turn their power on this foe,
and e8termlnate this breeder OF vice,
suffering and broken hearts,
The diocese Of Mobile recently ten
dered a banquet to their bishop. The
tables were furnished with wine and
wlneglasses in abundance. The bishop
passed around the table, turned each
wine-glass upside down, and then open
ing the window threw all the WINE into
the street, saying to his people that
they must never have alcoholic liquor
on the table where he was entertained.
This Catholic bishop acted most nobly.
When wines become unpopular at ban
quets and CLUBS a great step will have
been passed.

A SILVER LESSON.

Inc Baron tOnROthSch1Gl0 Gives IEey
Some Pointers.
PA said key VonRo thschleld to his
illustrous sre, '.tell me sometings apout
dis SILVER question" ooh my poy, dat
is Won great question said the baron
beaming fondly on lis precocious SOB and
delighted at the early display of in
terest IN such matters by his son and
heir Sit down my poy and + will ex-
plain him to you" You see in the
United States before 1873, both gold
and silver were MONEY. The value and
price OF all kinds Of property were fixed
by the known quantity OF gold and sill
yer money then in use. If there was
only one million OF gold and silver dol.
lars IN use the price OF everything else
would be very low and one of those dol
lars would be very hard to get. The
law OF demand and supply always holds
good. Ii there were ore hundred million
OF those gold and silver dollars in use
the price OF everything else would be
some what higher, and one OF those
dollars would be a little easier to get
And ii there were billion OF those dol
lars, all prices would be still higher, and
dollars still easier to get. The way we
fooled the people was to demonitize
silver; that is to say we cut off one hall
OF the dollars. Then the price of every
thing gradually fell lower and lower and
those OF US who had money could buy
twice as much with it, aud those who
owed money found it doublv hard to get
dollars to pay their debts, When they
could not pay, their property was taken
away fram them by the court and sheriff
at very low price. The people are very
slow in finding out what ails them.
They lay 1T all to "hard times" Yes it
is a great scheme Ikey, and when you
growap and take your old fathers place
never forget to work for I'm honest dol
lar, a dollar that is good the world over.
"Bat pa" said lkey, There IS lots OF
GnSr money in use besides gold. There
is national bank notes, United States
notes, besides lots OF silver money in use
now," 'eYa, ya," laughed the baron.
"that is just where the silver comes in,
'the people think that national bank
notes and silver are etdll MONEY. But
they are no more money now, than
checks and promisorv notes are money.
They are all simply promises to pay
money and gold is the only thing IN
which they can be paid, see? Oh it is
grand scheme" and the baron held his
sides with laughter.
"The price Of everything is controlled
by the amount Of money, and gold is the
only money The debts Of the United
States, public and private amount to
more than $2,OOO,OOO, The inter-
est on that amount per annusn, at the
low rate of four per cent. would be $8O-
100000. All the gold produced in the
United States in 1894 was $39, 900 900.
So you see there is not one half enough
gold produced IN a wear to pay the inter-
est on the debts" After a while when
we haye got the people little more SUBJ
dued by rhe same treatment of "hard
times" we will fasten this debt on them
irreyocably as they have done in Eng
land, We never expect and do not want
this big debt to even be paid: The inter-
est is all we want. and n class of idle
afistOcrats will be able to draw their

GOMPERS Is AGAINST WAR
Labor Leader Says workmen Want None


New York, Jan. samuel Gompers
made a speech to the Central Labor
union yesterday, in which, denouncing
policy looking to war between the
United States and England, he said:
Those who are stirring UP this war
scare are covering themselves with
mask of patriotism behind which is hid
den nothing but bluster and pomposity
Around, below, and beneath this So
called patriotism is a scheme to en-
large the army and the navy. The true
patriot is not looking for war. He wants
peace. The workers of our country
have no quarrel with the workers of
other countries. They will not be sway
ed by political schemers. While they
have the warmest hearts of all Ameri-
cans, they can keep the coolest heads.
l will be second to no man in devotion
to my country. but / Will not join with
the mob of ignorant barroom shouters
who. Influenced by the rantings of DO
litical demagogues. are shouting for
war. This war scare is nothing but pie
for the political tricksters. Sensible
workInen will never be influenced by
these.
In the ranks of the sensible. cool
beaded workers and true American cit
liens you viii find that this so-called
war scare has had no effect. With
lHein COMMON sense rules. i KNOW the
feelings that the workers of England
entertain for us. If it comes to a fight
they VIII never join in it willingly. They
might he forced to it. But you won't
find one among the volunteers.
lhave been very unwilling to express
myself on this question. The question
is so weighty that / have been forced
TO say something. Labor is never for
war; 1t is always for peace. 1t is on
the side of liberty, justice, and human
ity. These three are always for peace
The intelligent. organized working peo-
pie bear no ill-will against any man. II
they fight an individual, it is not be-
cause they dislike him personally. but
they are simply warning upon the sys-
TEN he represents. I have never been
in favor of war. II / could settle a
strike by arbitration / would do il.
an convinced that the sentiment of the
American people is not for war. II is
for peace. Theo-ganized workingmen
Of the United States constitute the
backbone Of the great plain people.
Who would be compelled to bear the
burden Of Il war? The working people.
They would pay the taxes, and their
blood would flow like water. The inter
estS of the working people Of England
end thu United States are common.
They are fighting the same enemy.
They are battling 10 emancipate them
selves from conditions common to both
countries. The working people know
no country. They are citizens Of the
world. and their religion is to do what
Is right. what is just. what is grand and
glorious and valorous and chivalrous.
The battle for the cause OF labor. from
times Of renoteSt antiquity. has been
for peace and goodwill among men.
