ramifications- We content ourselves here
with one feature. the disaster in the
labor market.
1t would be easy for Nj. Furst to keep
pace with the changes in the value Of
the silver dollar. He would only have to
mark his goods up. as it went down.. But
his goods are of no use 10 him unless he
can sell them. To sell them he must have
buyers, and the buyers must a VI money.
But the laboring man cannot make
lightning changes in his wages as the
-storekeeper can in the value of his goods.
Mayor wanser would still be paid s. 5000
a year. but as they would be silver or
paper dollars he would be Impoverished
one-haif. President Washburn of the
Hudson County National Bank and
President Young OF the First and Pres;-
dent Hogencamp of the Second would
continue to draw their present salaries.
and yet they would be impoverished one
half. The same is true Of every salaried
official of this city, Of the banks. Of the
great manufacturing companies, of ne
railways, of the great wholesale ware
houses, Of the retail stores, great and
small. It would extend to every trades
union. II would affect every day laborer;
the crossing sweeper and the cash girl
would share in the common disaster
with the bank president and the Governor
of the State.
Then where would the value of Mr..
stock. which he tells us is the
in Jersey City. and which is be-
yond all doubt q fine. rich aggregation
Of wares. come in? Who will Be able to
afford 10 buy from him? And If buyers
fail him, what IS to be the consequence
He must curtail expenses.
But if he must curtail expenses. he
increase the salaries of his en-
ployes. On the contrary. he must dis
charge a great number of them.
He is no worse off thar anyone else.

This is what free silver means. This

4 CHRISTIAN life.
Dr.. Nash's Sermon to the Christ
ian Union Delegates at
the Tabernacle.

The Tabernacle was the scene of a great
gathering Of Christian Union delegates
yesterday. AT the morning service
every seat was occupied and chairs in the
aisles were required to accommodate the
visitors. In honor Of the congregation
Of young Christians, Pastor Scudder had
arranged a special service of song with
which the delegates were familiar. AS a
consequence the service was one of praise
and thanksgiving. Pastor Scudder. in his
characteristic way, assured the delegates
that they were welcome to the Tabernacle.
He said that there had been a noticeable
change in the attitude Of demonstrations
towards the Universalists. Twenty years
ago, he said, the Universalist Church was
now it is recognized as one of the great
and powerful Christian churches. He
said it gave him pleasure to notice that
the Universalist Church was growing,
inasmuch as no Christian organization
could flourish and prosper without ac-
complishing some good.
Pastor Scudder finally introduced DR..
Nash. Of the Lombard University Of IL
Nash's address was a short one and
dealt with Christian lfe. He said in
Christian life it was not doctrine. creed
or denomination that was important, but
the manner Of living Of those who wish to
be saved
He said there was one example to fol-
low. to lead a Christian life, and that
was the example set by Jesus Christ.
His was the only life that was worthy of
emulation. having been free from all SIN.
said he felt as did DR.. Seudder when
he suggested that great good could be
accomplished by the consolidation Of the
Congregationalists and Universaiists. He
said he would willingly accept such a
consolidation. believing that he was in no
way being disloyal to his church in say
so.
He likened the Christian churches to a
great army. saying that each denomina-
ton was like a brigade. In the event of
war the regiment. If bound together to
battle against a foe, good could be ac-
.comptshed and victory won. while on the
other hand, If the several brigades were
to wage war against each other, only
defeat could follow. Disaster. he said.
can only be the outcome OF denomina-
strife. and he expressed hope that
the day Is not far distant when all Chris
tian denominations will work together
for the accomplishment Of good and re-
demption of mankind. He said it was
for the churches to waste powder
aud shot IN each other. while so much
hard work was to be accomplished and
SO much to be done which can only be
brought to q successful termination BY
the sinking Of UNCONVENTIONAL differences
and fighting under one glorious banner
for the extinction Of all hat is evil.

Boulevard Thronged Yesterday with
Bikes aad Vehicles.


The beautiful weather of yesterday was
much appreciated by wheelmen. All day
the Boulevard was thronged with bicycles
and carriages, not so many of the latter

the popularity Of the wheel over the
horse and carriage as a means<of con-
eyance.
To the pedestrians yesterday the air
seemed devoid of any movement, but a
breeze was felt by the wheelmen that
made riding a comfort and pleasure. This
breeze enthused the riders and made
them forget the recent spell of Disagree

Moorestown q bad Place for side

MoOREsTOWN. July 10. lSss.-About
five weeks ago the town authorities passed
an ordinance prohibiting sidewalk riding
here on Sunday. The cyclers avoided ar
rest by keeping off when the police were
In sight. But at other times the ord.n-
ance was repeatedly violated and com
plants were constantly made to the au-
thorities Of the recklessness of wheelmen
in running into people.
The Township Committee then resolved
on sterner measures to break up the nuis-
ance, Chief Of Police Burr was instructed
to order his men out In citizens clothes.
The result was that twenty-five wheelmen
posed a fine OF 5 and costs on each. Most
Of them promptly paid the fine, but a few
security for the money. The victims
were from Philadelphia. Camden, Haddon-
field, n not a few from Moorestown.
1t Is the intention to continue the arrests
until the practice Is broken up.
