RESULTS OF PROTECTION.
Every Prediction OF Prosperity More Than
EuI4IIaI


Every Prediction OF Prosperity More Than
FULFILLED.
The past two months have witnessed
perhaps the most impressive argument
for the protective principle which Amer
lean history has ever known A Repub-
lican protective tariff, now just two
months old, has in its practical opera
tions more than fulfilled every predic-
ton of the/friends of this historic Amer
lean policy and COMPOUNDED every pre-
diction of it's enemies. 1t has brought
back prosperity to business; it has re-
opened the idle mills and given new
and powerful impetus to manufacture
ing; it has already increased the ma
tional revenues, and it has done all this
not only without an impairment but &C
tually with an improvement of our for
eign trade-for our exports for the
month of August, the first full month
of the Dingley law, were the heaviest
OF which there is any record
The strengthened demand of the home
market under the influence of increased
employment has been powerful factor
with the short corps abroad in bringing
wheat up to prices which will fill the
pockets of the western farmers. For
this quickening of the home market the
new tariff is directly and Immediately
responsible. But before the new tariff
could begin its work the foundations of
prosperity had been laid by the declared
determination of the national admins
tration to uphold the integrity of our
finances and to consent to no silver in
fation OF the coinage. Boston Journal.

One of the Straws.

The records of the New York postof
flee show that nearly 10000 more do
nestle money orders were paid at the
general Office in the first two weeks OF
August this year than in the same time
last year. These money orders have,
without doubt, in most cases been sent
to pay for goods ordered from New York
merchants by persons living elsewhere.
This means that nearly 10000 people
who were not buying goods from New
York dealers in August last year are
buying this year. Straws show which
way the wind blows, and this is one of
the straws which marked the coming of
the hurricane which swept the country
into prosperity

A Free Trade Hole.

The American farmer is not the only
one who will give thanks for the foreign
demand for his products, which has
helped to send up prices. 1t is a perfect
godsend to the free traders. They will
have something to talk about when en-
barrassing questions are put to them in
regard to the opening of factories, the
increase in wages and the revival of
business which has come Immediately
upon the passage of protective tariff
law. 1t will give him a hole through
which to crawl away from the obvious
meaning of such facts-a pretty small
hole, to be sure, but then any hole is
big encugh for free trader.

Outlook In Ohio.

The Ohio papers say the Republican
stump speakers in that state are draw
ing large crowds. This is good indica-
ton. Apparently more interest is taken
in this campaign than is usually shown
IN canvasses occurring the year after a
presidential election. This is the case in
all the states which hold elections this
year. 1t means that the apathy which
generally hits the winning party of a
presidential campaign in the election
Immediately succeeding is not going to
strike the Republican party this time.

slons, or the man Of great mind and

sions, or the man Of great mind and
heart?
According to the usually accepted
estimate of success. Jesus Christ was q
dismal failure. He made no money
He builded no colossal fortune out OF
the groans and tears of men. He engin-
eered no great project. He organized
no giant syndicate. No book bears
his name. No arch of triumph lifts itself
in honor of proud butcheries of his fell
lowmen. The records of kings do not
mention his name. And the forum
never trembled at his eloQuence. He
was despised and rejected of men, a
man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief.
Poor, misunderstood. disgraced,
Jesus went down alone into the valley
of Deep Darkness to die there broken
hearted-that broken heart was an
alabaster jar of perfume. He has sue
ceeded, not like Alexander. and Charlie
magne, and Napoleon, but because he
was great enough to fail.
Success is not matter of figures
and columns of result. 1t is a matter
of aim and ideal. 1t is not by what we
draw to ourselves, but by the powers to
bless which issue from us that life is tru-
ly measured-and acquired. Moral worth
is the only standard by which manhood
can be estimated Value is measured in
terms of that which makes us men
Success is reckoned truly, only in the
degree in which we approach the per-
fection of our type"

CHURCH OF CHRIST
Rev. David Walk Digcourses on the
Holy Spirit

Yesterday in the Church of Christ the
Rev. David Walk took for his theme the
Personality. Office and Work of the
Holy Spirit and said in part: Than
this there is no more important subject
in the Bible. In the Old Testament the
Spirit is introduced in the beginning of
the material creation and is recognized
as the active agent in the genesis of the
heavens and the earth. while in the New
Testament he is presented as the Chief
agent in the genesis of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
1T may be said that the gift of the
Spirit to the church was an event ms
marked and distinct as the advent of
Christ, and the work of salvation is
comprehended' in two things: The gift
of Christ for man and the gift of the
Spirit to man.
THE work of the Spirit divides itself
into two chapters: The influence which
he eXertS from without, in the produc-
tion of faith, repentance and obedience
and the influence which he exerts from
within, as the comforter and sanctifer
of the believer. The Spirit of God, work
ing upon the sinner from without
through the gospel, and the Spirit OF
God working within the soul of the
believer, is one and the same Spirit.
THE great need of every soul is the
indwelling of the Spirit. Without this
there is neither pardon, neace nor
heaven
Mr., Walk announced that evangelistic
work would be continued every evening
during the week.

SILVER REPUBLICANS
Administration Committee Mcotinl
to Be Held This Week

Thursday, the 18th inst. a meeting
will be held in Los Angeles which the
politicians of California are looking for
ward to with keen interest. On that day
the administration committee of the
Silver Republican party Of California
will convene for the purpose OF adopt
ing ways and means for the completing
of the organization uc the Silver Repub-
licans of the state. In September the
provisional state cent? al committe. mot
in this city and as result of thatlSneet-
ing thir;y-two counties are at present
organized The administration commit
tee, in addition to completing the organ
ization as planned, will have before 1t for
consideration several matters of import
ance. The question of the position the
Silver Republicans will take in the
campaign of 1898 is one of much import
ance; whether TO favor the putting up
of an independent ticket or to join in a
fusion movement. Locally the Silver
Republicans are unit in favor of com
plc-;e fusion, providing it can be ar
ranged on proper grounds.
A matter already settled Is that Hon.
c. A. Towne of Minnesota, chairman
of the national Silver Republican party,
will open the campaign in California in
February next. Arrangements have
been made for Mr.. Towne to speak in
all the leading cities of the state.

THE SEAL OF THE SPIRIT
Rev. B. w. r. Tayler at st. Johns
Church

The Rev. B. w. r. Tayler preached
last evening in st. Johns church from
Ephesians iv: 80; "and grieve not the
Holy Spirit of God, whereby We are
sealed unto the day of redemption" Said
Mr.. Tayler in part:
What is meant by being sealed by
the holy spirit? We obtain interesting
light upon the subject by remembering
to what great extent seals are used in
the east, so much so, indeed, that with
out seal no document is regarded as
authentic. Every official act had it's
official stamp or seal, and the apostle
was simply borrowing an expression and
applying it to the Christian profession.
Confirmation is spoken of in the
early church as the seal with which
God signs us and gives us the first gift
of the spirit. And we are admonished to
prove ourselves worthy of that official
mark which the Holy Spirit has seen fit
to place upon us. That official mark is
the cross signed upon our foreheads,
and which the church as the official rep
resentative of God places upon the
Christian.
THE seal of the spirit is an outward
visible sign made by man of an inward
spiritual grace given by Cod

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Life Is Something We Have Not but
Must Acquire

At the First Presbyterian church yes
tehday morning the Rev Bert Estes
Howard took for his text: For what
is a man profted if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own SOUL or
what shall man give in exchange for
his life?" Matthew XIV: 26 Mr. Howard
said in brief: The idea in this text is,
not what shall man give his life for
but what win he give to gain his life
The thought seems to he that every man
has life as something yet to be achieved.
that each Of US has certain powers,
faculties. opportunities which do not
constitute life in themselves, but which
may be converted into what Jesus calls
life as one would convert money into
some desired commodity
Life is not something which we have
and may lose, but something which we
have not, and must get. Man becomes
just what he buys with his opportuni-
ties. The muititudes Of men every
where are planning and toiling to heap
up wealth. Brain, and Drawn, and time
are thrust into the simmering crucible
OF commerce, in order TO be converted
by its subtle alchemy into so many
dollars. The successes Of life are writ
ten in Bradstreet and Dun. But many
who succeed as money getters fail dis
mally as men Money is only condensed
opportunity 1t has Il value only when
put to a moral use.
is it success, this heaping together
of tinsel and glitter, this surrounding
oneself with luxury and ease, this ac-
cunu!ation of comfortable circum-

UNIVERSALIST CHURCH
Rev. A. A. Rice on Saving
Faith

At the Universalist church yesterday j
the pastor. Rev. A. a. Rice, spoke on
"A Saving Faith, from Second Cor.v:1 II.
THE love of Christ constraineth us.
He said in brief: The Christian faith of
today, which SO modifies both the char
acter of God and the nature of saliva
ton, holds for the human race the
brightest prospects Of any age. Since
Gods love and justice have been so en-
phasized that the time and power for
mans salvation have been extended,
and since salvation is believed to be
character attained through Jesus Christ
in man, it may well rejoice, for such a
faith in all that it predicts, is saving
faith.
But this faith is as yet not out of en-
bryo. Despite the fact that it has been
and is thought to be dangerous, it has
come to stay and to save. The love of
Christ constraineth the world. With
love as the center of character which is
salvation, and also is the central motive
of effort to save, let the race take COM
