SHOULD MEET QUESTION.

Now, | insist that the question
having been raised, you ought to
meet it; You ought to meet it can.
didly, you ought to meet it fairly,
you ought to meet it honestly, and
| will tell you that it is my candid
opinion that an open, flank decla
ration will not lose you any more
votes than an attempt to dodge
this Issue and keep it ont.
II we are also to net upon the
asset currency, and if we are to
know that Judge Parker will put
his veto to any attempt to inter
fere with the gold standard. |
want TO know if he is going to
sign bill that will give us an as.
set currency aud fix us so we can.
not tell what is under the dollars
that we carry from day to day in
our pockets. (Applause.)
want TO know whether he is
going to put his signature to bill
that will give us branch bank
system and fasten upon this coun-
try like that which Jackson de-
stroyed, and by destroying made
himself immortal in Democratic
history. These things we ought
to know. We ought TO know
whether in this contest between
Government money and bank mon.
ey, our candidate stands on the
side of the bank or on the side of
the people. (Applause.)
Now if he had kept his views
dark on the gold standard ques-
ton we might have been willing
to take our chances on the other,
but now that you have got him
sure on your side on that subject
it is a little unfair to leave us un-
certain on our side.

we were opposed to any contraction
of the currency by the destruction

and put in standard money that
we were opposed to the contraction
of the volume of standard money,
but they said: We don't want to
bring the money question in at all
i then brought in n resolution
about the asset currency and called
attention to the fact that it had no
connection with the silver question,
but they said if we touched on any
phase of the money question it
would bring in all of it. | called
attention to the fact that we had to
meet this issue; that we had to
have either n perpetual debt or an
asset currency, if we had the ma
tional bank at issue. But they
were so anxious to get harmony
and bring the party together that
we might fight this battle as n unit,
that they were not willing to de-
clare against the asset currency and
the branch bank.
Il then proposed a resolution
that we thought the United States
notes furnished better money than
the national bank notes, trying to
get declaration on that principle
that had no connection with the
silver question, but had connec.

question, but they said, In the in

THE HIGHER LIFE.
Christ, The True Vine.

ton Christian Church.
John l4:l: am the true vim,
and my father is the husbandman
The great power aud beauty ot
this chapter of Johns gospel can
not be fully appreciated until it i,
read through again aud again
Botantists have said that the
grape vine is one of the very high
est developed in the vegetable
kingdom, and this fact together
with the manner in which Jesus
usrs such common object to it,
lustrnte trams"endanl relation
takes a strong hold on the mind
Articulation is life. II we are
severed from the Vine which is
Christ we are severed from the
source Of spiritual vitality and
growth.
The vines roots are bedded and
nourished in the life giving earth.
The followers of Jesus are gr0nded
and nourished in the spirit Of God
The leaves of the vine derive Il
share of the nutrition from the at
mOsphere. The Christian is nour-
lshed from the spiritual atmosphere
of the church in his everyday com
munion with Christs followers.
Christ said that our father would
cleanse the branches that bear
fruit in order that they nigh,
bear more fruit. Every plant has
its parasites and if the branches OF
the vine of Christ will rid them
selves Of those things that sap aud
destroy spiritual vitality the fruit
of the vine will be more accept e
able to the hnsbandman who is God
the Father.
Som" of these fruits ar, love.
hope, patience, humility, peace.
JOY in Christ.
The dead lmhs are east off |
Worthless material throughout the
universe meets the same fate.
The vine and branches of the
faith Of Christ can point to fruits
that no other institution under
heaven can boast. The knarled !
aud blackemcd vine of infidcIity !
has no monuments either TO learn.

blossolned with noble truth aud |
