B tshas been truly sad that, time and
tide wait for 10 one, suit il cannot be
said with truth hat time and tide
should cause the hurry and worry Of the
human race Of THE age. Ia the mad
race for place. honor and money! the
careful observer can easily see that
Christianity Is not only dying ou., but
that the world IS fast drifting to the bad,
or, in other words, that the world is be-.
coming morally mad. sz.. } 5...*s..

: The struggle for trade among nations
is becoming so fierce that: armies must
be sent thousands OF miles to kill of q
people who-are thought to be in the way
OF supremacy, aud this done not only BIZ,
monarchiee, but by America, the land
once rightly called the home of the brave
and the free This is all done to satisfy
someone's military ambition. And what
is done to satisfy someone's commercial
ambition? We have q protective tariff
which for5ids the foreigner competing In
prices with our manuf acturers, and at
the same time our goods go nearly ali
over the world in competition with for
eign goods, and sellin foreign countries
for less than they do at home. When
such bold wrongs are being done by our
leaders, whom We are supposed to imi-
tate, ia it strange that the common
people should so far forget tho teachings
OF our Savior, that Christianity is hard
" to be seen among them? 1t is not ex-
pected that human beings will ever be-
come perfection, but while Christianity
thrives. the good will predominant over
the bad: When the bad predominates,

What are the people worsh,pping in
this beginning Of the twentieth century,
God or money? i we worship God we

II we wol ship money, history will repeat
itself aud tramps will become more nu-
merous. Whatever it is that makes
tramps, causes the millionaire to thrive,
rule and ruin. ~
The people OF the United States are face
to face with a condition that is danger
Gus to their freedom. Is there hope for q
return to the spirit which actuated: our
forefathels who framed the Declaration,
or were our predecessors old fogies, and
those OF US who see danger near, pessi-
mists? Every honest man should read
Caesars Column, by Dounelly, and COM
pare it to what is taking place, and ask
himself if it's contents are groundless.
Every four years, during a national
We are told that if one party
wins We will have full dinner pals, that
smokestacks will gush forth smoke,
that prosperity " ill fill the land, but if
the other fellows wln, mills will close,
hunger stalk in the land-yet our cou.
stitation says the majority shall rule.
Does any one doubt that mere hand
fu ot multi-miIlionai:es have the coun-
try's destiny in their grasp? They are
able to cause want and starva->
ton in shorv order If their wishes should
not prevail. Men who are considered
honest told me during our last n Ational
that we must elect Mckinley
or suffer the pangs Of hunger. Men who
actually believe that such q condition
confronts US, and vote to keep it over
US, are slaves to reason and like dumb,
driven cattle being sled to the slaughter
house. - r. s.E f
