Your vote now 90 as to rebuke this spirit. Arc

Dr.. Macarthur then said that the Chicago
platform threatened to degrade the Supreme
Court OF the United states
Interpreter OF the Constitution. To degrade it
would be q national calamity. Do the sup
porters OF this platform want anarchy? Do
they know that Christian patriotism insists
that law Is king and must rule? That plat
form propounds and promulGates dangerous
doctrines. Its teachings come pertlously near
heine revolutionary. Americanism Is not
I'm the third place, the outcome Of the Chi.
cago platform is 70 put premium on fnRnctal
dishonesty. To-day an ounce OF gold Is worth
thirty ounces OF silver. The ratio of 10 to
would seek 70 make sixteen ounces Of silver
worth one OF gold. II Is proposed to give
every man who takes So cents worth Of sill
yer to the mint and has 1t coined a dollar which
shall be leEal tender. 1t 10 prop sed by q
Government dat to give value where value
does not tntrtn,tcally exist. You might as
well by Government fat make water run up
One might as we'll by Government fat
double the value OF wheat or pig iron at
tempt 10 double the vslue Of silver. Tho
spirit OF the Chicago platform at this point ia
this nation ready To stand before the world as
repudiator OF its national obligations; IL we
pay only SO cents on the dollar we become re-
pudiAtors. We practically take by force what
Is not our own. We become robbers of the
rich and the poor and dishonest stewards be-
class. to rob one class TO enrich another class,
hut the practical outcome will be TO impover
ish all classes alike.
THE dangers that arc upon us are not i'm
aginary. \ great political party has been car
r,ed of into the camp OF its enemy, and the
enemy OF the nation. Let every real AmerI
can formerly member OF that party leave is
ranks"
DR.. Macarthur will preach the seconi of the
series on the Chicago platform next Sunday.
