That wc have cause for nlifaction, even in tht remembraace of temporary defeat, is evidenced by the fact that among those who ought to rejoice In success there in quite a general sx-ntlmcnt "that the least said of il the better." I have spoken of the Campaign of Klacatkm a it ha affected the two great party onraniiation.. ltremain.tomentio another aad a more important and gratifyisic feature of luprtyre. 1 refer to the manner in which acres has been gained to the plain people of the land and the submission to their reason aad judgment of the objects aad purpoica fo: which the campaign wa undertaken. The Democratic party I willing to, trust the ordinary Intelligence of our people for an under;anling of its principles. It does not scat itsslf abov the common feelings aad sympathies of humanity, and in an arrogant assumption of superior learning formulate political doctrine i suited only te those favored with adraaccd educational opportunities. It reeixrniied the fact at the outset of the Campaign of K.Sucatlin that it km not the ignorance of the people which had led thean to submit to the evils of bad Government but that it was oartly owing to the busy activity of their occupations, ar, 1 the eonseqaeat nerlect of polltinl subjects Mil partly to the rigidity of their party tie. acL heir unquestioning eonndence in party leaders' a Having ooaa settled upon their politics valuations they had been wont to turn from a ratchfulaoa of public aCatr. to the dally re- :ine of their labor with much virtuous satisfai iob in the reflection that they were not politici i. TneK 'jre, the labor of their education in the ei -.patgn has eonsl-ttsl In persuad tn t.iem to hear us; to examine the t 3,-ie of party organization and tfce ep s to which they lead: to recall the prom! sof political hraJershlp aad the man aer In 'lich such promises have b.'ea redeemeil ; and t coaaael with us aa to the moan by which tilr condition eoald be Improved. Xt wa; more intelligent, honest and effctiv Con made in a noble cause than that made y the ivomocratlc party and its allleg in this t ,rk. Oar fellow countrymen were approa. - d, not by fabricated extracts from Knplih .itirnaN and a lying demagogic cry, of Hrit! i aald; not by fraudulent pictures of the ruin t f American Industrie if the justice of ifover- mental favoritism wa questioned; not by a f . presentation ot the Impoverl-hment aad di tre of our laboring men which would follow ihctr independent polit'cal thought and action not by a disgraceful propo-ltloa for the purcl, -e cf their suffrage; aad not by the rwl iatiaaldatkm. by e4h employer, of those dopeavdent on them for the wagea ot their toiL We have beea ooateat to rely upon the intelligence aad thought fulness; of the people for the succea of our cause. We have solicited the mt thorough examination of its meriM. For t:-.e purpose ot ttuch caamiaaUoa we have put b fcrt; the people plain and honest exposition of the justice and beneacenee of our principle. This bas bn done by the systematic and industrious distribution of tariff-reform literature, by the effect he aad eoocientlou arguments of a well iaformssd aad nnsubjiidimi pres, and by an extensive dlscuastoa e the platform ot the qaestloa Involved. These are the weapoaa rre have ued in our Campalsnot Education. It U acattseot eongratnlattoa to-night that our work ha been done In a manner so d'eat, and In Its best sense so purely Americas. Need I speak of the reult of our labor This happy ai;mblafre called together to eelebrate the victories achieved ia the cause of tariff reform" tells the story of our success. We will rejoice lo-nlght, net only ia our sueaess and the manner of Its achievement, but m American citizen ws will especially rejoice in the proaf which our victory nffords ot the Intelligence, the Integrity, and the patriotism of our fellow-country men. We have again learned that when routd to thought and action they can b trusted rUhtly to determine any itmstlOH involving their interests and the welfare ot their country. Let n not fail to realize the fact that our work 1 not done. Our enemies are still alive and have grown detperete. Human seinshnes.t Is not easily overcome awl the hope of private gain at the expense at the masses of our people is not yet abandoned. It would be shame-f- , and a pitiable dlscraee, if by over conscience, we should lose the it round we have gain ett. or it we should fail to push further our advantage. The result of our labor thus far is. indeed, a "stcaal tribute to the judgment ot the American people-" In full faith in this judgment our work should continue upon the lines thus fnr followed until the enemies of TariS Reform are driven from their last entrench me nt. As the people have trusted us, let us, above all thine, be true to them. Let the llirht ot oar campaign be carried into every part of the land where it has not been seen, and where it has been kindled let it be kept brishtly burning, stilt showing the way to better days for the people, and disclosing the plans of insidious foes. In the years te come, when we look back with patriotic satisfaction upon onr participation in the glorlou struggle for tariff reform and recall Its happy termination, it will delight as to remember every incident of discouragement as wll as of triumph In the pcopls's cause. Then, when w are asked to speak of our proudest political eadeavor and to give the best Illustration of American intelligence and to pay the highest tribute to the jsdicmest of the American people, we will rehearse the hlstttry and the grand result ot "The Campaign of Education."

Mk. I'uiuiiHCvr: The sentiment of the toast to which I am invited to reapoad 1 ooo of surpassing interest from both an economic and pohtical standpoint. Its Importance when eonsiderel with refer ence to the Nation at large, is intensitlesl wheu applied to the prairie Stales ot the Korthwest wntrh are to a marked degree the food-produs-ing districts of this tsmtlnent. A brief statement of the situation In my own State will a well present the condition in the district referrcl to a can be done la the time at rcy commaa l Aoeortling to the most reliable statistic attain a We at this tlma, nearly fifty per el-nt. of the male populatloa over ten year of age in Iowa are eagagod ia agricultural pursUll, while less than three per cent, are employed in manufacturing enterprises ot alt kinds, protected and unprotected. Years ago that State had attained the first raaktnthls Union as a corn-prodtieimr Slat j, and thl has carried her to the had of the column of State an a producer of the best quality of beef, pom and dairy protluetsi In other respects she H not behind th most favored of her sisters in nearty everything that pertain to agricultural pursuits in that latitude. Statistics show that the average wages ot aUle-bodlf A men upon the farms of Iowa are eighteen anJ one-halt dollars per month, or about seventy cents per day ami board, the lowest price paid any class of like laborers in the State; and yet out ot nine hundred farmers reiMirtinx to our Commissioner of Labor Statistics during the present year more than elxht hundred claim that this help at these wages has been employed at a loss instead of a profit during each of the live years last past. Out ot tho same number an equal portion assert that the actual cost of producing this cereal, the most profitable of all that are raised within that State, has, during the same period, exect'ded the entire value ot the crop when harve-ited, aylttK nothing whatever of income frotn the capital invested in the land required te produce It. It is estimated by those making these reports that the cost of producing an acre of corn ready for market is KX): tkat the average crop for five years has been bushels, and statistics .show that the average price of this corn in our local market, soon after harvest, during such IHjriod, has been iff cents pr lmhel, nnkln? the entire valns of the crop wtn warkatad. ITjSS, or slxty-evju cants less than the actual cost of production at market rates of'labor. Whatnis true ot the production of corn ia lown Is equally true of all the Kreat staples raised on her farms. When we consider the immense capital invested in the farms of a single State and are told that for five whole years it has not paid enough to compensate the labor employed, it is apparent that no other business in this country eould have withstood such a condition of adversity during so prolonged a period; and it Is equally certain that had it been practicable for the farmers of the country to withdraw theircapltal from this line of industry their numbers would have been greatly redueed, even In the best of the agricultural States. Hut this wa impracticable aad from the very necessity of their situation they have continued a business burdened with loss instead ot yielding a profit, (if the market value ot their labor is considered,) out of which this Nation has gathered three-fourths ot all its export, ami by reason of which it has been able to preserve a balance of trade in Its favor that has constantly added to the aggregate of our National wealth. It is, however, If we stop to reflect, easy to diarn that If the chief business of a country Is being done at a loss, aad yet that the country as a whole Is becoming rich, there must be some flagrant error in the industrial system that produces such a result. With the facts demonstrated by statistics as tbey are, that the Nation's wealth Is being constantly increased; tbat u u largely derived from Us agricultural resources and that those engasrd In tkat industry are transacting harness at a Ions instead of apron t, is it difficult to understand that those who produce the greater part ot the Nation's wealth do not enjoy Ht We can easily see that if a dosen men were er.tra,'ed in as many different pursuits, and eleven of them were romp-lied to give up to th twelfth the entlrtf profits they earned, the aggregate wealth of the twelve might be greatly Increased, but la that case there would be one very rich man and eleven very poor ones. If we extend tho example It Is equally apparent that If the great body of men engaged in industrial pursuits in any nation are compelled by law or otherwise to surrender to a few the profits of their Jaoor, the Nation as such may grow rich, but its wealth will Iw concentrated in the hand- of its favored few, while the mary, roblwd of their share of the wealth which the labor of all has produced, man ot necessity remain poor, I do not hesitate to say there Is no po-slWe justification for a system of laws that produces such a result. No plea tar the Nation's prosperity, however eloquent that plea may heeomr, can smother the indefensible wrong thai takes a single dollar from the earnings of one class of lti citizens and bestows It as a bounty upon those of another. I will not stop now to question whether the industries of a nation may or may not become so adjusted and equalized that a rrotective tariff eould be made equally advantageous to all. It Is enough to Know that they are not so equu'lted In the United States. If the farmers and laborers of this country are required to cmtrlbute from their earnings to build up lines of Industry In which they are not engaged, It Is absolutely certain that those who give must hcom poorer thereby, while those who reeslve will grow rich from the avails of labor they do not perform, aad It re quire) no stretch of the Imagination to foresee tha; under such a system time a tone Is needed to divide t tees'! classes In this the proudest lie pub) Icon the glob.-, as the human family is already divided in the most aristocratic monarchies of the old woild. It is Infinitely better that this Nation shonld remain poor with Its property, such as it has, distributed among all its classes, than become tho richest on the globo with its wealth eon eentrated in the hands of a few. No dream of a theorist eould conceive of a, condition more perfect than otic which would divide and could maintain, with equal effort on the part of Individuals an equal distribution of a nation's wealth among nil Its citl: n. This is impracticable, but what can be said in favor of a system that strikes the vory root of this equality: that aids by artificial means in preventing the nearest approach to such equality that the human family Js capable of attaining? Certainly nothing if men are just. If this ia the result of a protective tariff tho argument is ended. Let as consider further its effect upon the farmers rf his t country. It Is a self evident proposition thnt a tariff levied upon products which a tmtkm produces inrrfsly la excess of Its own want, which it is constantly sending abroad because 114 own markets will not take or tm them, cart have no possible effect u:on the price of such cohsmodt ties, and hence it follows that mi long as we are proittii'tnK annually hundreds of millions in val e of agricultural products in excess of our own wants, no tariff levied upon like p redact auE benuHt the farmer. Legislate! may spread such laws upon the statute hooka, hut they should bo as potteries W deeerte as they are ta Is-nefll the patties in whstse favor they are professedly made. It W e salty npparmtt, as has been damou

The moat important question therefore for him to aoaxlder m how to extend the markets for his produets, Nothing ia more plalu than thu fact that if wa ae)l to foreign natwms we must buy of them, No nation eould long pay In gold for any cona'derable amount of import aad escape Imahtuptcy. It follows lrrpstlbly that a tariff that keeps the products of any foreign nation out if vur markets must to a oouaiderable exlent keep oars out of its market, ami inasmuch as the farmers of tha country wupply three-fourth of all our export, they are the chief sufferers from any policy that accomplishes such a re suit I have spoken ot the oonditkm of ariculiu ral Industries in my own State. 1 have called

attention td the fact that for years tliee indutries bkve hveu prosecuted at ,t ios iut ad ol a profit, and 1 affirm without tear of ccatradirtlon that there is no Stat In this I'nlon where the great staples of agriculture, the production that sitpply necessary fcol for man and beast, fan In; more cheaply pnnlueed. I want now to say to the business men of this Nation, aad to politlelans as well, that some plan must be devWd to get this industry on a different basts, or this Nation must prepare for a stwm, the resequences of which lu both a wlltlcal and economical sens; mi man ean measure, I want to say further that the men engaged In this Industry are t ot g In? to wait for a home market to grow up around them that is larne enough to eonsume the enormons surplus they annually produce. It is relief for them selves and not for generations unborn that they demand. Agriculturists are not the e no mien of raanu facturing Industries: they appreciate as fully as any class that their own prosperity as we.t as that of the Nation depends upon a success fill prosecution of diversified Industrie, and they will go as far a any class In Riving to our manufacturers free raw material and in extending the market tor their productions. In other words they will readily consent to stand heroic the law upon an equality oh privileges with every other industry, but they will not contwnt to see their own destroyed that others may at tain phenomenal success. They are already thoroughly aroused. The) are fast becoming as thoroughly organized. The law making power of this Nation must revise the tariff in their interest or they will change the men who constitute that power. Kecallitig the sentiment of my toast, "What our tamers have a right to demand.' portnlt me to mid they represent an industry as old at least as the civillxatlon of man, as laborious as any that lias ever fallen to his lot, without the successiul prosecution ot which the whole human family would lapse Into larbarism and end In decay. A business that forms the be of every other, without which the channels of trade would run dry, the cities of the earth moliler into dust, and the wealth of" the world disappear, Considered apart from the'! business they are the bono and Vinow of this Nation. With their own calloused hands they hav produced the bulk of its wealth; in times of war they linve been its sturdy defender, in limes of peace the promoters of Its welfare. Who shall set the limit o: their risttfui demand upon a country they bave made and i reserved t, Surely I can not do this to-night. Brief Indeed must bo my reference thereto. Tbey have a right to demand that In the future policy Ot this Government no discrtnit nation be made la favor of other Industries ot the expense of their owns that the power if the Government to levy taxes lie limited to the slaglo purpose of raising necessary revenue to be economically expended; that all property bear its just portion of that burden; that markets broad enough to consume the products of their labor ami capital at compensatory price be as carefully looked after ami nurtured as those that consume the productions of labor ami capital employed In other lines of business. They may also demand that a currency which Is good enough for one man shall he made good enough for ait others ami plenty enough to preserve a just equality between its value and the value of the products of labor in all legitimate kinds of business. That both the Nation ami the State shall exerrle over lines nf transportation a reasonable and just control, to the end that their products, the most bulky compared to their value of any produced, shall not be subjected to charges out of proportion to such value. H I b-c.tase the Republican party In a line Ci" sucees-lons but ssien liroken in a third of a Century baa ignored their reasonable demands, b"caite In all that time but one voice In h!eh places has called attention to the most essential of their wank and that voice was the voice of a Democratic 1'roMdent. that they turned to his party In tho election, the results nl which Wc are assembled to celeticatu, If th Democratic parly Is true lo ltelf it Will h-s tru" to its new allies In the .Northwct. ami henceforth the union between them Is com plete,.

"To make him Klnjs." it waa not for the purpose of revolt that the romiMMiy had assembled, hut to rrown a imw King, the son Soloms n ami his natural ucessor. it. MJeroboam." He was a young Ilphralmlte. that Solomon had made chief ot the forced labor, from the tribe of r.phrulra and Manasseh. "Who was yet in Egypt." The prophet Ahljak had foretold that he should te Sskunon,s succSMr over tea tribes; aad it is probabw that, in view of the tUssatUfactlon of the i eopki. he made some attempt to take possession Itefore Solomon's death, so that, his plot being discovered, he hud to escape to Ilgypt. where he heard of the pro-pox-d assembly nt Sheetsem. X 'They sent aad called him" from Egypt, that he might rota and speak to ItchohtMttn In their behalf. He, having been in chargo of tho forced tabor, knew better than most the full exter.t f the diskatl.ifactfea ami grievance!: ot the people. I "Thy father made our yoka grierus." The yoke, as laid uism bcasta tf burden, has in all time ami In all countries Iwn usesl as a type of complete acrvitade. Their chb-f grievances were the excessive tax atioa aad the luxury and cost of Solomon's court, "Make thou his heavy yoHu H:;liter," This the people hail a riirbt to ask: the temple and other great works were completed, and there was no longer any need for the lavish exiwnse. a. "And he said unto them, Depart ye yet f cr three days." This seemed a reasonable nspts'St, and yet a right heart would have decided Instantly ia their behalf. 6. "Hohoboam eonsultetl with tho old men." Not old men aa in a sense of ego. but used probably a In the expression "elders of Israel," 7. "If thou wl!t bo a servant unto this people, this day." The advice was not that the King should permanently reshrn the office of ruler, but thnt lie should for once be led by his people. "Answer them." Grant their request. 8. "Hut he fcrsook the council of the old men ami consulted with the young men." Ills first counselors' advice did not suit his designs, so ho sought that of the young racn, those who had teen his companions front his youth up. 9. "And he said unto them." lie put to them tho nmo question be had asked the old men. PX "Myelinic finger shall be thicker than my father's loins." This is not a threat of still heavier impositions; hut n boast of his superior strength and flrmnes3. 11. "I will add to your yolse," Make It as much heavier as the body Is than the little linger. "My father chastised you with whips." It fis qulta possible that the forced laborers were kept at thelt toils by the latdi. "Hut I will chastise you with wnlons." As the H'orplon was a kind of whip, having at the end of tho lash leaden balls with hooks projecting from then, ills purposed this speech whs only used figuratively, IX "And the King answered the P"oplo roughly." Ills sjeeeh was harsh and cruel, nml his manner roush and insolent. 13 1 1, "Fcr.wok tho old men's couuael spake to Hum alter the counsel of the young men." He did not follow the advlco given him by the wise men ot his father's day, but told thcta the things that suited his purpose and own mind better, 13, "For the cause was from the Lord." It was a thing brought about by the I-Til "Ahljah the proptt.'' A prdjdtot of Shlloh. He had prophcslcii, some time before, that the Kingdom should be divided, aud Jeroboam rule ovi-r ttw tribrs. See I Klmts II :). 14. "What portion have we In David?" The name Is put for his house or family. The ten tribes would have nothing more to do with the royal family and renounced their alk-glaoce. "Now see to thine own hou." They meant tor Hehoboam to mi to the affairs of Jndah, his tribe, aad to have nothing more to do with them. IdWOX COMMENTS. With the beginning of the Now Year, we begin our studies in a new part of tho lliblo. The story is a sorrowful one. Israel had been prosperous under the reigns of David and Solomon; but after tho death of Solomon we find, by our lejMSon to-day, that the people quarreled amonjr themselves, and, by dividing the kingdom. thrw away the' great promise contained in U Sam. 7:10-16; 3S:.V where Cod says that He will make them a groat people, and that the children of wickedness shall bother them no more; neither shall they wove away from their own land. The name Uohobosm means "cnlarger of the pt'fle," and wo can picture the hopes ami bright visions of tho future that were in the minds of his tmrenta when he was given that name. Hut in what strange irony do the acts of his life contradict tho meaning of his name. I low many parents of our time look forward to a Hright future for theif children, and yet bow many aro disappointed, just as Solomon must have leen at the results. Where are We to lay the blame for this failure? When we reniomtKjr that his mother, in place of lKsinjf a Christian woman, waa an idolater, a worshiper of Moloch; that the you n y prince grew to manhood in an Kastorn harem, where ho was waited upon, flattori'd, favored and courted; encouraged to regard himself as a being of a superior kind who can scarcely do wrong ho had no special instructor, no business to employ himself In, but was left with a heathen mother, and bad companions, to lead him into wrong ways and wreck his life. Who then waa to blame for his being conceited, short-sigh ted, proud, selfish, tyrannical and weak? His father and mother in part, for his character; but he. himself, was chiefly to blamofor his failure. lie might have compared tho religion of his grandfather David with that of his mother, and thus made his surtoundings a means of reaching to ixstter tilings. Young people should thank God for restraints, and bunions, and tho necessity of work, for good paronut and their government, and for Christian training. Parents should not leave their children to seek tho ways of tho world and evil companions. Wo see that the new King bad many dangers tattle with. There wis danger from the surrounding subject-nations who had lcon overawes! by Solomon's power, wisdom and ability; danger from luxury and wealth; danger in thu declino of religious life and degeneracy of morals through tho heathen Immoralities permittesl by Solomon, and danger from trilml jealonsy. IMIACTICAt. SUGGESTIONS. I. It is foolish to depend for aiiooess on tho wiadom and suoce-wes of our parents. . Tho mother has trine h of the making ,or marring of her children In her own hands. 8. Urexy child stands upon the threshold of a mighty kingdom, and all the forces of tho world wait upon his coronation. 4. There are turning point In every life, when the right or wrong decision settles the destiny forever. ft. No one can safely wrong others, or n ".tores then.
