Ikh ausc Miu could stand up under taxation, but a question of markets, wherein you are to sou th.it which you produce, whether upon lour farms or in your factories. . have reached that staire in development of our c-ountrv when we are compiled to have larger and l.iiver markets fr our surplus prodtiiln. and such markets through foreten trade are only the safety valves f.ir the health and proserlty of the American laliorer in the Jicul and in tho factory.

On the one side lie uood government, honest conomic-.il eovernment. freed industry, large, and ctiKiridlnt: markets for the product of American labor and a general dawning of on era of Individual prosperity. On the other side lie corrupt government. fettered and Imprisoned Industry, limita tion lir law ou the markets In which vre art-to sell, and limitations by law for the amount which we can prodtablv produce, 'f host are the two systems now at issue before tho American icople. and as I have said before, f-ivlm; a somewhat local application to what I am gotiur to say to-day. the question for the people Of Jefferson county Is more markets for wheal and for tho inochuulci. Is more manufactured goods. WUT WHEAT LS LOW. If there Is ono thine to which I gave more at ten l ion than another durlnif my brief absence from this country it was to the condition of the wheat tnurket of the Old World. When I Inquired why It wa that wheat has gone down to a price much lower than It has ever sohl befote in the history of at least modern Kuglnnd and America, tho answer wa there N a universal glut and production beyond a profitable demand, that not only Is the Cnlted States Increasing her surplus export of wheat, and Hu.ssla Im-rciisitig herwurplus export of wheat, but An-cntlna Is coming forward, and Is now third in quantity exported to Kuropean markets. I can not but recall the fact and have stat l it ng.un and before the poopic of this country, that the American lax on the wools of Argentina made them Klve up their sheep-raising and go into competition with jou In the prodtaUoit of wheat. 1 say It Is for you to-dav a question of mar ke a question of consumers the world over for Hie product yju produce. I bellevo so far as la- me lt cereals are concerned we nroduce euoit! I. lofetsl a iwiml itlon twice us large as oiir'.wii I belioic.so far us the staph unnufat I in-rs are concerned we produce enough to supiil., a population as largo as our own. The question t-. where arc we to get these markets upon inf one system we nave ieen noiultij; up for thirty years tariff walls to keep olh r H-nple from coming la to compete with us in a homo market already glutted. We have now ii'-Kun to tear down our tarlS walls to let tisotil with our products to compete with the rest or the world In all tho markets ol the world. THE IllllTl'Ut llAHQt'KT.

These are the very manufactures in which, coutray to all the teachings and all ihe theories of the protectloutsts.the highest wages are paid to American labor. Why. fellow-cillnii. it ts no longer a q iestion of wages paid to the laborled roan in the industries of the country, because the work is Wing don o by machinery, by steam and coal, which work as cheaply for Us as any ieople on the gluts1, while the wages of human labor are but a small and incidental tKirt of the cost of production. Hut aside from that It is found that It has become almost a truism to-day that high-priced labor, which is always competent and intelligent labor, and cheap products go together almost the world oier. It is thus m tho watches made at Wiillhsm. Mass.. and Klein, III. It is thus in our great locomotive engines. It is thus inisir carets. in New York, turnlture. In Michigan, and in iron ntid steel goods m numberless arietle-.

"The Markets of tho world.' menns nothing, and Is an empty delusion, and that there Is no market In the world which can compare with the American market to the American people. THE HOME M.UlKET. Of course there Is a great deal In that the home market to every people Is the large market. Three-fourths of all produced by a people Is consumed where they are produced. It is not that wo mean to surrender the home market. Our very ability to go out and -ell in competition implies our ability to stay at home and sell in Competition with the same people. And yet, fellow citizens, let us tiever lose sight of the fact that it we are to sell our product we must take in exchange for the,m the products of the people to whom we eil. Tnere is no such thing as a one-sided trade between nation.

If Kngiand undertook to jay us for what she buys we would have tho whole of her money la three years on this side ot the Atlantic.

Why. fellow-eltlzens. suppose instead of In the year IWlwool had been put on the free list ten or twenty years ngo. the people of the Argentine confederation would not to-day be pressing you so strong in the wheat market of England. Theywould be sending us the wool which we excluded from America, and receiving from us in exchange for that wool such products as we make and they need. Ilecause we would not take their wool without a tax of at least 50 and more than M per cent-: because we shut her out of these markets; because we prefer to make our people forego their necessary woolen cloth, and dress In shoddy, we have driven her from being a good customer ot ours to be a dangerous comietltor.

It will be Idle for me to say to an Intelligent audience llko this, that read the newspapers, and follow with vlgorou interest the coarse of public events, that I believe the tariff bill wo pansed In August measures up the whole duty of tho democratic party to the merlcan people. Yet, when I vlt down and compare tho bill, lamed and mangled as it was In Its passage, with tbu law In existence before It. 1 see that It launches tho eoplo o! this country upon n new career, with their races towani inmisiriai prosperity, in place or the ever-deepening jjloorn and the fitful and receding waves of prosperity that came to us In spite ot bad laws In the past. I am delighted to tind. as I fully cs pec ted to And. otter a month's absence from this country, the signs of reviving Industry and returning prosperity all over the land. I am crjually delighted to Und that prosperity Is not comlnif back to us In a flood which would be but temporary, and leave us again stranded In gloom, but Is rising with the slow, resistless .rise of a tide that Is to stay with us for many years la tho future. I would not Inply by hat I have ald that the long stress ot hard times through which the American people have passed has been entirely dua to bad tlscal laws.

San KitAMisco, (Vt. 1:1. A rcjort from Sacramento states that the eastbound uvorland train due there at U 1. m. was held up by two men alamt H miles Ik'1w that city Thttr-sday night. The track-walker was first robbed nnd then forced to htart to town. The train roblters then covered the engineer and fireman with guns and conmoleil thcai to accompany them to the express, car. .Messenger Tage shot twice at the bandits. The engineer and fireman called upon Page to open the door, as the train robber?, were going to shoot them If he did not, and were prepared to blow up the car with dynamite. He complied with their request in order to save their lives, and the robbers looted the car of four bags of gold, the amount of which is not known. Then they cut the engine liMise, Isiarded it and ran toward the city. The engine was then reversed and set on a wild run toward the train, but by the time it had reached its destination the steam had run so low that the collision caused little damage. The roblh'rs made their cseate. The train arrived at Sacramento at I'J-.So. T The Story of an Kyrw linen of the Hob Ix-ry. SACItAMKNTO, Cat., Oct. Col ton. who was beating 111. James his way to Sacramento from Suisttn, probably saw more of the roblcrv than anyoue else. His htory is as follows: "1 he first thing I knew about any trouble was when the torpedo went off. It seemed to light the car. I said to Hanlcv. a tramp who was riding on the forward platform of the blind bag- ' gage, where I was riding: 'There goes a torpedo; Mimething's wrong. I. swung out on the step and looked ahead and saw two figures on the track, swinging läutern.. One had a red and the other a white lantern. ' As the train slowed up I clttnled up in the back end of the tender and lay down, while Hanley went inside the .tonn doors. The next thing I saw the two robbers, who ran up. on each side of the engine. They were dressed in close-litting white suits, wore high-peaked white caps exactly like the pictures I have seen of the whitecap.V in like clowns it the cast. They looked in a circus, ihev nail Winchester rilles but no pistols or j cartridge lelts that I could see. The I big- one fired his rille otT, and said to the engineer, "Get down out of that, and lie quick about it.' The engineer replied: "I will, I will; don't kill inc. 111 mind you.' The engineer and the fireman accompanied the robbers, who kept poking them with their guns. The tall one .said, 'Get a move on you.' They went back an.l uncoupled the four forward cars from the passencer coaches and brought the fireman and engineer back to the engine. The tall man stood on the platform of the first car, and said to the engineer: "Pull out now. lively, and go till I tell you to stop.' "One of the robbers kept his gun aimed at the engineer, and rested it on my legs without seeing me. It was an old gun. with so large a bore that I thought it was a musket at first. After we had gone aliout a mile the big man told the engineer tostop. "The big man climbed on the tender and saw me for the fint time. lie pointed his rille at me and said: "Who in is this-r I said; "Don't shoot, mister, I'm only a tramp." "Then the men compelled the engineer and fireman to go back to the express, car and call the messenger. The messenger began to shoot at once, but was implored not to by the engineer. 1 saw the four come back presently lwaring a .sack each, and heard the large man say the sacks weighed about seventy-five pounds, though the two carried by the railroad men were larger than the other two. They put tho sacks on the engine, told us to get away from the machine, and then they pulled out. "As they were bringing the sacks to the entrine the messenger fired two .shots at them and the engineer said: "That fool will kill us yet." The biir robber laughed and said: "Xo he ; won't, he can't hit the side of a I house." They were the coolest men I I ever saw. The mouth opening in the big fellow's mask was very large and I could see that he had a dark mou.s tache." HELD UP BY ROBBERS. A Train on tin Klelinimid. Frrderlcluhurg & I'otoinnr Itobbrd. Richmond, Vn Oct. 13. The nortlfliound pa ssenger train on the Richmond, Fredericksburg ifc Potomac railroad, which left here at 7 o'clock last night, was held up near Quantico. The engineer and fireman were forced from their engine and the engine was cut loose and sent ahead. The express car was then entered, th messengers covered with pistols and the safe blown open and robbed. The runaway locomotive was stopped at Quantico by obbtructing the track. It is .stated here now that there was an unusually large amont of money on the train, probably ?.0,OO0. Tho robbers, s,evcn in number, were masked, an I did not blow open the safe as first reported. They forced the messenger to open it. The railroad has offered SLOW) reward for the arrust of any one of the roblers. The express messenger, 11. F. Crutchfield, and his helper, H. Murray, barred the iJoont of the express car, but these wer blown open with dynamite. After the robbery the thieves made off with their booty in the direction of tho Potomac river, where It Is supposed they had a boat in waiting to take them to the Maryland side. None of the robbers entered the passenger coaches. The express messenger said that the safe contained 150,000. The robbers "ured this and all of tho express packages containing money.

It Is of no little interest that at Tel Hum (Capernaum) have lately been discovered the rttin.- of a .synagogue, prolnbly this vcry one in which Christ taught. The walls were seventy-four feet nine inches long by fifty-sis feet nine inches wide, and ten feet thick. It appears to have been better finished than any other synagogue in upper Galilee, and to have lwen ornamented, more profusely. The interior was divided into live aisles by four rows of columns. If Tel Hum be Capernaum, this is, without a doubt, the .synagogue built by the Roman centurion (Luke 7: 4, 5), ami ono of the most sacred places on earth. It was in this building that our Lord gave the well-known discourse in .lohnO. "And taught." It was common to call upon any suitable person to speak In the synagogue services, .lesus used the best means at hand, even though they were often misused by others. "As one that had authority." (11 Not ns an expounder of other:' opinions, but with the original authority of the tn:rce of truth. His teaching was fresh, independent, and original. '2) lie spoke with the authority of one who knows. He knew the way to Heaven, for Ilo had K-en there; lie knew the principles of the kingdom of God, for He was God; and He spoke, therefore, with the authority of an oxpert. It is just this speaking witn au thority, and not by inferences, and guesses, and hopes, thnt tho soul needs, und that distinguishes Christ's religion from all other;;. (3j What He said was pure, unauoyeu trutn, anu tnereiore came with the authority of truth to the souls of men; the one made for the other by the Creator of both. (4) His conduct. His character, His unselfishness, His lully life. His Divine deeds gave Jesus great personal power in His teaching. The teacher will speak with authority just in so far as the truth is n part of his own being and has been made real to him m the workshop of his own experience. What men know by observation or by experience, that they can teach with authority. We need to be experts in the ChrLstian life. 'A man with an unclean spirit." De mons arc called unelean because they arc impure, unholy, defiling, and pro duce such effects both in the bodj and the spirit of those whom they possess. The outward tilth was a type of the moral defilement Demoniacs. (1) A demoniac was one "whoso being was strangely Interpenetrated by one or more fallen spirits," called in the Greek "demons," or lesser evil spirits. ("Devil" in the original is used only of the arch-fiend,) Demoniac possession is "the caricature of inspiration." v know who inspires by the effects produced. (J) This possession was real, not a mere imagination or superstition. (31 It is distinguished froi mere disease, yet it seems always to have been connected with a diseased state. (4) "Demoniacal possession of the body is distinguished from Satanic influence on the soul. The possessed' were not necessarily the worst of men, like Judas, when Satan entered into him,' ' or Annias, when 'Satan filled his heart,'" Stock. (5) Yet "lavish sin, and especially indulgence in sensual lusts, superinducing, as it would often, a weakness in the nervous system, which is the especial bond between body and soul, may have laid open these unhappy ones to the fearful incursions of the powers of darkness." Alford. It is almost certain that this possession never occurs but in a morally disordered person, and by the yielding of the will to evil.
