First we start with this proposition
That man must have behind him
Redeemer, or sooner or later he will be
irretrievably lost aud that forever, just
so with that which represent money.
Let it be certificate, bank note or any
thing that represents money, it must
hay behind it a Releemer or like the
natural man without a Redeemer, will
sooner or later b lost and for all time to
come. They both, the natural man or
that which represents money may pros
per or Il Jurish for awhile but the day OF
redemption will come some day and
then comes the crash aud loss and ruin
to that which has not behind it a Re-
deemer.
We defy the world to prove to the con-
trary. People lose sight of the fact that
the government is like an individual
and must like an individual have limit
to its transactions or bushes. Some
people think the gjvernment is ab5oluts-
ly without limit that it can go ahead and
do or propose to do any thing no matter
how unrt asonabe the proposition, moth

is.
First three years ago we had pauic
Had you Popocrats forgotten that? Why,
because the Democrats made the tariff
the issue when Cleveland was elected,
saying it was robbing the farmer and
laborer and therefore, must be reduced.
The Democrats coming into power capt.
talst looked for them 10 do what they
said they would, lower the tariff. This
naturally caused feeling of uneasiness
of districts or lack of confidence in
moneyed men, which ended in locking
up or boarding away all the money, be-
cause no sinsible man will put his money
ont when times are so uncertain and
there is likely to be a great departure
from the grand principles that has made
us one OF the g-andest nations on earth.
From that shock we have not recovered

face, because our revenue men are not
sufficient to pay expenses Times seem
