corrupting changes; and, / have, with
most of the present dissenters of Eng
land, some doubts of his Divinity"
This statement of belief, embracing
the ripest conclusions of perhaps the
greatest mind Of the New World, con-
stitutes, as will be seen, a correct, con-
densed statement of the doctrines COM
monty held by Unitarians.
Abraham Lincoln was an ideal
liberal christian, as is shown by the
following short sketch.
Says the author OF "SiX Months at the
White House," with reference to the
religious creed of President Lincoln:--
1.-THE conversation turned upon re-
ligiOus subjects, and Mr.. Lincoln made
this impressive remark: 81 have never
united myself to any church, because
l have found difficulty in giving my
assent, without mental reservation, to
the long, complicated statements of
Christian doctrine which characterize
their Articles of Belief and Confessions
of Faith. When any church will in
scribe over its altar, as its sole qualifi-
cation for membership, the Saviour's
condensed statement of the substance
of both law and Gospel, "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart and with all thy soul and with
all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thy
SELF" that church will join with all
my heart and with all my soul."'
Had President Lincoln only known
| it, there is one Christian church which
does ''inscribe over its altar, as its sole
qualification for membership" exactly
this sublime injunction of Jesus.
1t is inspiring to know that we are
in the line of such noble Unitarian
ancestry.
The above was clipped from the
Christian Register of Boston, the lead
ing organ of Unitarian Denomination
being the 18th anniversary of that
paper, and was handed to us for publ
cation.

the entire market in point of activity.
The stock lost large part of the inn

Honest Gen. jackson.

In Gen. Jackson's time man who had
l16 ounces of silver could sell them in
the market for one ounce of gold, and
SO Gen. Jackson, who was square
dealing man, approved the coinage ratio,
putting 16 times as much silver into
coined silver dollar as was required of
gold for a gold dollar. But the large
quantities OF silver produced of late
years and the improved and cheapened
process of mining it and extracting the
pure metal from the ore have SO reduced
its value that it now requires 80 ounces
of silver to buy an ounce of gold. If
Gen. jackson were alive, he would not
he caught in the company of the cheap
money advocates who wish to put so
cents worth of silver into dollar and
pay 100 cents of debt with it. he ad-
ljusted his ratio to intrinsic value, SO
that all the dollars in the hands of the
people should be real dollars, worth as
much after they were melted by fire as
they were before melting-Philadel-
uhis Record.

Thou Shalt Not Steal.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is the
Demo-Pop nominee for president by
virtue of belief that he is an orator,
and especially by virtue of belief that
he made original and exclusive protest
against crowning supposititious man
with thorns and crucifying him upon a
cross of geld.
Were the belief well grounded it
ought not to work very greatly to the
credit of Mr.. Bryan, for the passage is
at best parody of sacred history and a
somewhat irreverent and very melo-
dramatic travesty, by which the story
of the profoundest of all spiritual age
MES is travestied to win applause of a
political audience. Even were the
'cross of gold" apostrophe travesty
conceived by Mr.. Bryan it would not
stand the wear of a campaign, for it is
not oratorical; it merely is sophomore
cal.
But Mr.. Bryan is not entitled to the
pinchbeck crown of tinseled rhetoric.
A contemporary finds that Jan. 26, 1894,
Mr.. Mccall ?f Massachusetts spoke thus
in congress
"Do you regard your bill with refer
ence to labor? Ready as you have ever
been to betray it with kiss, you
scourge it to the very quick and press a
crown of thorns upon its brow You
shall not cruelty mankind on cross of
gold"
This was in an argument against the
Wilson bill. Mr.. Bryan heard the
speech and evidently afterward COM
mitted it to memory. On July 8, before
the convention of Demo-Pops in Chica-
go, Mr.. Bryan said:
Having behind us the commercial
interests and the laboring interests and
all the toiling masses, we shall answer
their demands for gold standard by
saying to them: You shall not press
down upon the brow of labor this crowl
of thorns. You shall not cruelty man
kind upon a cross of gold"
This, as Constable Dogberry said, il
"f1at burglary Such honor as accruel
from the ''cross of gold' belongs to that

Down in Illinois, near St Louis, a
lew days ago cyclist named Anderson,
succeeded in lowering the bicycle record
to an amazing degree. He did it under
the most favorable circumstances, how
ever, as he used locomotive to break
the resistance of the wind, and possibly
to draw him along behind it. On a
level and straight piece of road, track
of plapks, end to end, was laid, and
over this the young man behind the
engine made his way. The engine
speeded up to mile a minute and
faster, and the cyclist kept himself very
close to it, so close in fact that once he
had to "back-pedal." The time made
by him was one minute and three Sec
onds. 1t is thought that he can beat
that time by several seconds, and doubt
less he can. His exhibition was truly
wonderful one.

Want Sound Credit Also.

The July treasury statement, showing
an increasing deficit, emphasizes the
necessity for a speedy revision of our
revenue laws. This government can
not continue to run in debt at the rate
of over 500, ,OO0, 900 year. No money
standard can long maintain the credit
of a nation having such resources as
we possess and yet unable so to legislate
as to make its receipts equal its ex-
penses. Something must be done, and
that quickly, to stem this debt t-creating
current. The election of William Nc.
Kinley in November will not accom-
plish it unless majority is also elected
to congress pledged to carry out the
policies for which Mckinley stands.
This nation must have sound credit az
well as sound money.--New York Mai
