— IN R A. What the Brooklyn Preacher Saw in the Osar's Dominions tfc» Famine** Awttjl Work Amm( Uk Poor—Amerleoo ud Other Keller Work—Msmjr Una Kami and Homes Preserved.

In, a recent sermon in the Brooklyn tabernacle Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage reviewed his trip to Russia and spoke on the famine there and the work of relieving the starving. U is text was: If I take the wings of tha morning and dwell to the uttermost parts of the am. even there shall Thy hand lead me —Psalm exult., a What an absurd book the Bible must be to a man who has no poetry in his soul. “Wings of the morning!” What kind of a bird is it, and how long are its wings and of what color? Ab, some of us have seen and felt its wings. They are golden. They are buoyant. They are swift. They are widespread. The 15th of last June I took ‘"the wings of the morning” and started for Europe. June 20 on the “wings of the morning” 1 started from Liverpool; July 19, on “the wings of the morning,” I entered Germany, the land of Martin Luther and many of that ilk, living and dead. On “the wings of the morning” 1 entered St. Petersburg, Russia. On “the wings of the morning” I entered Moscow. On “the wings of the morning” I entered the nalaees of Russia, greeted by the emperor and empress, surrounded by a lovely brood of princes and princesses. On “the wings of the morning” I entered Inverness, the capital of the Scottish highlands, country of Robert Burns, and Thomas Chalmers, the one for poetry, the other for religion. September ai, on “the wings of the morning,” I entered the finest haven of all the earth—New York harbor—and looked off toward the most interesting place I had seen in three months— South Oxford street, Brooklyn. Oh. 1 like “the wings of the morning.” I am by nature and by graee, a son of the morning. 1 think I must have been born in the morning. 1 would like to die in the morning. I have a notion that Heaven is only an everlasting morning. In the summer of 1893, my text was fulfilled to me again and ogain. “If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea. even there shall Thy hand lead me.” Yes, He lead me as He always has led me since I took my first walk from the cradle to my mother's lap at Bound Brook until this pulpit where I now stand, and He will lead me until 1 stop for all time about three miles out yonder, where the most of you will be my fellow-si nmberers. You all know why I went to Russia this, summer. There are many thousands of people who have a right to say to me, as was said in the Bible parable: “Give account of thy stewardship.” Through the Christian Herald, which I have the honor to edit, we had for months, in publisher's, in repertoriai and editorial columns, put before the people the ghastly facts concerning twenty million Russians who were starving to death, and subscriptions to the relief fund had come by letters that seemed not so much written with ink as with tears, some of the letters practically saving: “We find it hard to get bread for our own families, but we can not stand this cry of kunger from beyond seas, and so please reeeive the inclosed.”" And others had sent jewels from their hands and necks, saying: “Sell these and turn them into bread.” And another letter said: “Inclosed is an old gold piece. It was my mother's. She gave it to me and told me never to part with it, exeept for bread, and now I inclose it.” We bad gathered $35,000 in money, which we turned into3,000,000 pounds of flour. When I went down to the board of trade at Chicago and left $5,000 of the amount raised with a prominent flour merchant, taking no receipt, and leaving all to him to do the best thing, and returned, it was suggested that 1 bad not done things in a business way. How could we know what sort of flour would be sent? There are styles of flour more fit for the trough of the swine than the mouths of hungry men and women. Well, as is customary, when the flour came to New York it was tested, and we found indeed they had cheated us. They gave us better flour than we had bought. I bought in Chicago fine flour, but they sent us superfint. God bless the merchants of Chicago!

«r Ruun owut xauiiuv | in America. The grasshoppers may kill the crops in Kansas, the freshets may destroy the crops along the Ohio, the potato worm may kill the Tines otf Long Island, the rust may get into the wheat of Michigan, yet when there has keen dreadful scarcity in some parts of the land there has keen plenty in other parts. But in districts of Russia, vast enough to drop several nations into them, drought for six consecutive years has devastated, and these districts were previously the most productive of all the empire. It was like what we would have in America if the hungry fiend somehow got out of hell and alighted in onr land, and swept his wing over Minnesota, and said: “Let nothing grow here.” and over Missouri, and said: “Let nothing grow here," and over New York state, and said: “Let nothing grow here,” and over Ohio and Georgia and Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and Nebraska and Dakota and the Carolinas, and said: “Let nothing grow here,” and the hunger fiend had swept the same withering and blasting wing over the best parts of America in the years 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1893, and finally all onr families were put on small allowance and we all had risen from the table hungry, and after awhile the children had only quarter enough, and after awhile only one meal a day, and after awhile no good food at all, but a mixture of wheat and chaff and hark of trees, and then three of the children down with hunger typhus, and then all the family unakle to walk, and then crawling on hands and knees, and then one dead in each room, and neighbors, not quite so exhausted, coming in to bury them, and afterwards the house becoming the tombs with none to carry the dead to more appropriate sepulchre—whole families blotted out. That was what occurred in Russia in homes more than were ever counter!, in homes that were once as comfortable and happy and honntiful as yours or mine, in homes as virtuous as yours or in homes where God is worshiped ss in yours or mine, It was to do a little something toward beating back that archangel of wretchedness and horror that we went, and we have now toreport that, according to the estimate of the Russian famine relief committee, we saved the lives of one hundred and twenty-five thousand people. As at the hanger relief stations, the bread was handed out—for it was made into loaves and distributed—many people wonld halt before taking it and religiously •roes themselves and utter a prayer for (he donors. Some of them wonld come daggering hack, and sqy: “Please tell us who sent this bread to us.” tnd when told it come from Ameri- “ say: “What part the names God only •wrtit*

that stay mean nothin-, although we call it “saying grace,” bnt I warrant when th«» people who received the bread which saved their lives “said grace," it meant something. Onr religion may not demand that we "cross ottrselves," hat 1 have learned that while crossing rote's self in some cases may mean nothing but mere form, I believe in most cases it means: "Oh, Thort of the Suffering cross at Calvary, have mercy upon me and accept my gratitude.” Prefer your own form of relig ion by all • means, bnt do not depreciate the religions forms of others. From all I can learn, there were several good people before we were bora, and I rather expect there will be several left after we are dead. I have traveled in many lands, bnt I tell von plainly, as I told Emperor Alexander III. in the palace at Peterhoff, that I had never been so impressed with the

fidelity to their religion of any people as by what I had seen in Russia, and especially among her public men. I said respectfully to a Russian when I saw him bless himself: “What do you do that for?” “Oh,” he said, “when I do that I always say: “God hare mercy on me.? I h<j|d in my hand something very suggestive. What does that blaek and uneomety thing look like? That is what is called hun- * ger-bread from Russia; that is what millions of people lired on for months before help eame from England, Scotland, Ireland and America; that is a mixture which seems to hare in it nat one grain of sustenance. It is a mixture of pig-weed .and chaff and the sweepings of r stables. That is something which, if dropped in the street, your dog or eat might sniff at, but would not eat. That was the only : food iin which millions of men and women lired. You mnst look at that ! hunger-bread of Russia before you can get proper appreciation of what an attraetire and beautiful thing a good loaf I of bread is. It is so common to use we can not realize its meaning. Stop and ! look at it in a bakery window, or see it on your family table—I mean a honest loaf of bread, white as a boll of ; packed snow, with a crust brown as the autumnal woods, and for a keen appeI tite more aromatic than flowers—a loaf of bread as you remember it in childhood, when the knife in the hand of roar father or mother ent dean through, from crust to crust, and pnt before you, not a quarter of a slice or a half slice, but a full, round slice and another and another just suited to a boy always ready to eat and for the most time hungry, even in a well-sup-plied house. 1 remember and you remember, if you had a healthy ehildhood, just how it tasted. ~ My! My! Plum pudding does not taste as good now as that plain bread then. It was then bread at the table and bread between meals, and bread before breakfast and bread before going to bed. Why does not some poet ring a canto on a loaf of bread, or some modern Raphael paint it, or some historian tell its history? Not like many articles of food, pretentious, and iced ail oTer like wedding cake, or dotted with fantastic ingredients, but that grandest product of the earth, that richest yield of the flour mill,' that best benediction of a hot oven—a God-given loaf of bread. Hut the rhythm of it, the luxury of it. the meaning of it, the benediction of it, the Divine mercy of it, only those know who have seen a famine. No wonder Christ pnt this food into the sacrament and said of a broken loaf of bread: “This is My body.” Thank God that 1 ever saw that transcendent and compact kindness of the Infinite God — a loaf of broad. And it was our joy this summer to hand over a shipload of material for gladdening many thousands of Russians with such a beatitude. But, 1 hare been asked by good people in Great Britain and America again and again, why did not the prosperous people of Russia stop that suffering themselves, making it useless for other people to help? And 1 am always glad when 1 hear the question asked because it gives me an opportunity of explaining. Have you any idea what it requires to feed twenty million people? There iis only one Being in the universe who can do it, and that is the Being who, this morning, breakfasted one billion six hundred million of the human raee. The nobility of Russia have not only contributed most lavishly, but many of them went down and staid for months amid the ghastliness and horror of typhus fever and the small-pox, that they might administer to the suffering. I sat at the dining table in the house of one of our American representatives beside a baroness, who had not only impoverished her estates by her contributions to the suffering, but who left her own home and went down into the worst of the misery, and until prostrated with the fever; then reviving, and toiling on until prostrated by the small-pox. She had come home to get a little strength, and in a few days she was going down again to the suffering districts, and she commissioned me to exeente in America a literary enterprise bv which she expects with her pen more money, all of which is to go for bread to those who lack it.

i nt-u toere are uv noBrinsuBjs. They are of the nobility, not only the nobility of earth, but the nobility of Ilea Tea. Yon know we hare in America certain names which are synonyms for benevolence—George Peabody, James Lenox, William E. Dodge, Mr. Slater, and so on. What their names mean in America, Bobnnskoy means in Russia. The emperor has made larger contributions toward this relief fund than any monarch made for any cause since the world stood, and the superb kindness written all over the faces of emperor and empress and crown prince is demonstrated in what they hare already done and are doing for the sufferers in their own country. When a few days ago I read in the papers ethat the emperor and empress, hearing an explosion, stopped the royal railtrain to find out what accident had occurred, and the empress knelt down by the side of a wounded laborer and held his bead until pillows and blankets eould he brought, and the two wounded men were put upon the royal train to be carried to a place where they could be better cared for, I said to my wife: “Just like her.” When 1 saw a few days ago in the papers that the emperor and empress had walked through the wards of the most virulent cholera, talking with the patients, shaking hands with them and cheering them up, it was no surprise to me; for I said to myself: “That is just like them.” Anyone who has ever seen the royal family will believe 'anything in the way of kindness ascribed to them, and will join me in the execration of that too prevalent opinion that a tyrant is on the throne of Russia, if God spares my life, 1 will yet show by facts beyond dispute that the most slandered and systematically lied about nation on earth is Russia, and that no ruler ever lived more for the elevation of his peo- i pie in education and morals and re* [ ligion than Alexander 111. So I put all the three prayers together: God save the president of the United States! [sod nrci the Queen of England! God

I know of tyrd prominent European newspapers that keep men on salaries to catch up everything unfavorable to Russia, and magnify the incident.

I believe I eaa reverse the opinion of any man antagonistic to Russia who will give me an honest hearing, as my own opinions have been reversed by what I recently saw and

Before passing* to the other field of my summer observation. 1 give you oft# little specimen of the falsehoods about Russia. I stood in London with my tieket for Si. Petersburg, Russia, in my pocket. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. and at three o’clock I was to take the train. An American physician came in and said: “You certainly are not going to Russia.” I said: “Why not?” Then a morning paper was shown me, saying that in St. Petersburg there were two thousand cases of virulent cholera; the city had been divided into hospital districts, and the doctors were at their wits’ end what to do with the number of patients; the population was flying in terror. It was almost as had In Moscow. While refleeting on these accounts, two messages arrived from other friends protesting against the foolhardiness of my rushing into the presence of two thousand eases of cholera in one city. Of course I halted. I halted for four days. Meanwhile a telegram from St. Petersburg encouraged me to go. I went. There was not a single case of cholera either in St. Petersburg or Moscow, and there was not a single ease in either city until-four weeks after I left those cities. But the Continental falsehood had done its commercial errand. Tens of thousands of Americans and Englishmen who proposed to summer in Russia turned in other directions. At the large hotel in St. Petersburg at which I stopped, though capable of holding five hundred guests, and months before every room and every hallway and every mattress and every pillow bad been engaged by telegraph by sight-seers, all the orders were canceled, anti, instead of five hundred gnests, I should think about thirty, and that included our party. And so it was in all the hotels in Northern Russia, and the substruction of that amount of commercial profit from those cities you may imagine. But that whole subject of systematic fabrication I adjourn to some other hour. Yet, 1 must tell you of a picture of pathos and moral power impressed upon my mind so that neither time nor eternity can efface it. The ship Leo swung to the docks a few miles below St. Petersburg, loaded with flour from America. The sailors cm board huzzaed as they came to the wharf. From a yacht, on which we had descended the river to the sea, the prominent citizens of St. Petersburg disembarked. The hank was crowded by prosperous citizens, who stood on the wharf, and hack of them by poor laborers who had come down to offer their services free of charge for the removal of the breadstuff^ from the ship to the imperial freight train that took the flour to the interior free of charge. While we stood there, the long freight train rumbled down to the doeks,the locomotive and each cardeeorated with a flag—the American flag and the Russian flag alternating. Though a flag to some eyes is only a floating rag, yon ought to see how the American flag looks - five thousand miles from home. It looked that day like a section of Heaven let down to cheer mortal vision. Addresses of welcome and responses were made, and then the work began, the only contest being who should lift the hardest and-be the most expeditious. From ship to rail train. From rail train to kneading board. From kneading board to oven. From oven to the white and quivering lips of the dying. Upon all who, whether by contribution small or large, helped make that scene possible, may there come the benediction of him who declared: “I was hnngry and ye fed me.”

—A friend of I<e%h Hunt, Mrs. Duncan Stewart, tells this story in Good Words: At the time when both the author of “Imagination Mid Fancy” and Thomas Carlyle were eery poor the latter had a visitor one day who discovered two golden sovereigns lying exposed in a little vase on the chimneypiece and asked what they were for. Carlyle looked—for him—embarrassed, and gave no definite answer. “Well, now, my dear fellow.” said the visitor, “neither you nor I am quite in a position to play ducks and drakes with sovereigns; what are they for?” “Well,” said Carlyle, “the faet is that Leigh Bunt likes better to find them there than that I should give them to him.” —Nicholas of Russia was much attached to the painter Yernet, and in one of his familiar conversations proposed thav, he should paint a picture on the partition of Poland. “I am afraid I can not do it, sire,” replied Vernet; “I have never painted a Christ on the cross. The moment I had said it,” eontinned Yernet, “1 thought my last hour had struck. I am positively certain that a Russian would have-paid for those words with his life, or at least with life-long exile to Siberia. I thall never forget the look he gave me; there was a murderous gleam in the eyes; hut it was over in an instant." ; —We have hut to name God before sorrow, and it changes color; before burdens, and they grow less; before the vanity of life, and it disappears.

Judge Gray, of the United States supreme court, has just sustained the action of Collector Heard, of Boston, in classifying common goat hair with Secorid class Wodl Uriel utakirig It duB* htile therefore $t IS cents per pdnni Iii commenting dri this decision tt# American Wadi arid Cofctdn reporter (edited by S moderate protectionist; says iii its issue of Septemb >r 33: :df course the edurt did not considei whether this dtity St 300 to SdO per cent upon the pauper goat hair df Bombay or Russia is absurd or the reverse. The court simply decided that under the phraseology of the McKinley bill, all goat hair comes within the provisions of class 3 of the wool schedule and is therefore dutiable at 13 cents per pound. Under the tariff law which was in force previous to the passage of the McKinley act, this gout hair was free of duty. “As the law now reads, the hair of a primitive Russian or Bombay goat, worth 3 cents per pound, is dutiable at 13 cents per pound, while the wool of a primitive sheep at S3 per cent, ad valorem might get in at 3 cents per pound or less.

‘ l ne supreme court bus aecidea upon the exact reading of the taw. and it has reached a decision that must he conceded as correct by every person who interprets the law as it stands, and not as it should he from a commercial or economical standpoint. - “The fact that the law imposes a duty of 13 cents per pound upon an article, the commercial value of which Is from 3 to 3 cents per pound, and which has heretofore come ia free ol duty, has no bearing Upon the question. The McKinley schedule is replete with these inconsistencies, and a close study of the measure and the methods employed in constructing it will show that these seeming absurdities and ridiculous features did not get in by chance, tout were ele verly devised schemes of men who knew what they wanted, and were not scrupulous in reaching for it. And it is this feature of the McKinley bill that has east odium upon it, and has eost the republican party a large number of voters. “It seems absurd to talk about 13 cents per pound duty on common goat hair, and yet this is the law and there is no escape from it “The Ohio wool growers have gained their point, bnt we fail to see where it can benefit them in the slightest. It is hardly probable that they contemplate establishing a common goat industry; nor is it at all probable that the exclusion of foreign goat hair will appreciably increase the demand for wool, certainly not domestic wool It is a hardship which falls heavily upon carpet manufacturers and also upon consumers of low grade carpetings, and is ol no material benefit to any one. A duty of t3 cents per pound on goat hair b nonsensical; it means absolute prohibition, and that is what the framers ol that portion of the tariff aimed.” It is not surprising that, understanding as it does how the wool schedule was concocted, the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, protectionist though it is. has come out in favor of free wool and dares to say that the MeKinley bill is not perfect. REFUSE TO DEBATE. mtNttwM Weapo ns An One Ha lUreil NUHwi rages of Documents and the Contents of Three Safes. The American Protective Tariff league refuses this year to accept the challenge of Hon. E. Ellery Anderson, president of the Reform club, to debate the tariff question at county fairs. Mr. W. F. AYakeman, secretary of the league refuses to have anything to do with a party so lost to self respect that It declares that “protectim of all kind3 and at all times is unconstitutional,” and says of the Reform eluby “we cannot see that your association stands for anything practical or practicable. ” He then proceeds to tell of the wonderful work being done ibis year by the league. He says: “Our work is national—not local. The league does not care to he diverted from its legitimate work at this late date by organizing a stumping tour throughout one state. AVe have during the past five months issued over one hundred million pages of protection documents, which have been mailed to individual voters in all parts of the United States. At present we are also distributing to individual addresses one million copies of the accompanying pamphlet entitled, “'American Tariffs from Plymouth Roek to McKinley,” and the same number of the report of Hon. Charles F. Peek, labor commissioner of the state of New York, together with the letter of that eminent lawyer and temoerat, George Ticknor Curtis. Having fully covered the field it would be idle for ns to hold the joint discussions proposed.” Surely ten pages of the league’s solid educational matter to each voter in the United States, with the reserve supplies now* in the safes at republican headquarters, will save the country to “protection.” Democrats and tariff reformers might as well show the white feather at once. The result of the November election is already determined —at least protectionists consider debate unnecessary to their cause. The formers and the officers of the county fairs are greatly disappointed. These debates ia 1890 and 1891 were very attractive features of the fairs in New York state.

AdjaKtlo* OwrwlTM to Protection. The New York Tribune of September 23 says: “Protection has been our po'cy for thirty years. All the interests of the country are adjusted to it” There seems to be a slight error in this statement. The interests are adjusting themselves to it, but the process is not completed. The census shows that the farms of the west and south are not yet all mortgaged and there are a considerable number of farms in New England and the east around our “protected home markets” not yet abandoned. The adjusting in this line could be continued two or three more decades before all farmers would be tenants of our millionaire land holders. Neither is the adjustment perfected in manufacturing interests. It is true that in most cases manufacturers have formed trusts to prevent competition and enable them to reap the benefits of high duties; bat in a few etses manufacturers have been slow to grasp the situation and take advantage of the duty vouchsafed to them. In such eases they actually continue to compete with each other and the consumer sometimes gets goods at the “cheap” and “nasty” prices prevailing in Europe. The MeKinley Mil is doing its work better and foster than the old semi-protective measures and if left alone might complete the adjustment by the end of this century. Obstruction of Trade Is a Crime. Every interference with trade is a check on the wheels of progress. He who tunnels a mountain, bridges a river or in any way removes any impediment to the freest intercourse between people is n public benefactor. And be who in any way puts up a barrier to commerce is a public enemy. The people are beginning to bee this, and when they do see it in its fullness they will bury the opponents of a tariff for revenue only so deep there will never he * nanmuirtfin _TW Mfttnofi f.^tW fell** JKVbfWf* ""
