God has not written that you should
hurt it. Be THOU true. "But I'll
throw my vote away" No! But grant
it. 1t is better for thee to enter into
life voteless, than, having carried your
ward, to be cast into hell. Be THOU
true Il would if others would" No
doubt! And others would if you
would! You are not required to do
right for the crowd-nor wrong with
it. Be THOU true. "But l would lose
my influence whatsoever shall seek
to save his influence shall lose it; but
he that loseth it for Truths sake shall
save it unto life eternal" Be THOU
true.
YOUR JOB.
The trouble with men and nations is
that they spend so much time worry
ing about Gods business that they find
no time to attend to their own. Mems
job is to DO RIGHT! Not WHEN
it will win, nor BECAUSE it will win,
but NOW. and because it is RIGHT.
A liar speaks the truth when he thinks
it will win. A thief is honest when he
thinks it will win. A traitor is
patriotic when he thinks it will win.
Judas would have remained faithful
had he thought it would win. Win is
a Pickering will-o'-the-wisp. Truth
is the blazing sun. No man with an
eye single to Truth should confound
them. The saloon problem as it con-
fronts YOU is that to the full measure
of Truth as YOU see it YOU be true.
Not as I see it. Not necessarily as
God sees it. But as, through your hui
man limitations GOD GIVES YOU TO
SEE 1T. Win or lose, live or die, one
or million you MUST DO RIGHT as
you see it, politically as well as social
ly and commercially. Otherwise you
cannot see salvation. How much you
know l cannot say. How clearly you
see l cannot tell. But that you must
do your dead level best as God gives
you to see and know is the revealed
truth.
FRIGHT is RIGHT, SINCE GOD is
GOD"
To win is Gods part, and not our
business nor concern. Infdelity on
the part of Gods people means i'm
potency on the part of God. Not be-
cause God is weak, but because his
soldiers are faithless.
God will win. Never doubt it. The
sooner if YOU are true BUT HE
WILL WIN. With you if He may;
without you if He must BUT HE
WILL WIN. God needs you with
Him, but infinitely more do you need
to be with God. For GOD WILL WIN.
One by one, man by man, He will try
out an army that is not fearful of the
power of the foe, nor afraid to lose
their political lives for the Truths
sake and the gospels. If you would
take up your cross and follow Christ,
enlist. If you would battle back the
hosts of darkness, enlist. If you love
humanity, enlist. If you would CO.
labor with Christ, enlist, and having
partaken with Him of the suffering
which He declares shall come to His
true soldiers, with Him shall you share
the glory, honor, and joy of having
done your all to redeem the world to
God.

Frs FILED THEIR REPORT.
They Say Gold and Silver as Fixity
Of International Exchange Are Alb.
soIuteIy Disassociated-A Plan to
Fix Value Of Gold by Different Gov
ernments ls Presented.

Mexico City, Sept. 27.-The repor
Of Mexicos monetary commissioner
sent aboard is now published. Among
the more Immediately interested point'
and suggestions are the following:
In Russia, and in England especially
the immediate establishment of golt
standard in China is regarded as al
most impracticable.
In the monetary system that is
recommended for the purpose of bring
ing about fiXity Of international ex
change, the price in gold of bar silver
and the value in gold Of silver money
are absolutely disassociated. The
former may fluctuate in the market
whereas silver money will always have
a fixed value in gold, hence the sta
bility of international exchange. This
fixed value in gold will be maintained
by the governments in mis- manner:
1. BY the closing Of the mints to the
free coinage Of silver.
2. By the fixing of ratio between
gold and silver by the governments.
8. By the legal tender character
Of the currency for the payment and
settlement of contracts of all kinds.
4. By reason of its being the only
money in which duties and taxes will
be paid, as it is supposed that there
will be no gold in circulation.
5. BY limitation of the quantity Of
silver money coined exclusively for the
interior currency Of each country.
6. By the creation Of reserve funds
in gold in those countries in which
the foregoing conditions are not suf-
ficient to maintain the stability of in
ternational exchange.

TRADE REPORT.

Reports Of convervatism In fall and

year ago gave the selling side such an
advantage. The fewness of car short.
age complaints Is evidence alike OF
the later movement Of crops and Of
discrimination in orders by consum.
ers. Building activity at New York
has not been resumed in full, strikes
of vesselmen on the lakes retard snip
ments, and advanced freight rates and
high prices for cotton, with lack OF
correspondingly higher prices for fin
ished products, check full resumption
of operations.
Relatively, the best reports come
from parts of the Northwest, due tc
better weather and crop conditions;
the southwest, which has escaped croI
injury, and the south, where, despite
crop delay and declining cotton prices
the general outlook is good. Eastern
advices are Of fair trade, but quiet
