*1 WAS A STBAXGEK.” X>r. Talmage Discourses on the Perils Of a Great City. Oa Every Hand the Stranger Within the C«tM Is Beset with Dancer*—Satan Lurks In Every Form to Entrap the I’uwrary. g- ■ , . . _ f. The following1 discourse by Rev. T. Tie\Vut Talinage. by way of warning to those who -go as strangers into the great cities of the land, was delivered in the Brooklyn tabernacle, bteing based on the text: I was a stranger and ye took me in.—Matthew xxr., 35. It is a moral disaster that jocosity* 'has despoiled so many* passages of ■Mcripture, and ray text is one that has suffered from irreverent aud misapplied quotation. It shows great poverty of wit and humor when people take the sword of Divine truth for a game at fencing, or chip off from the Kohinoor diamond of inspiration a sparkle to decorate a fool’s cap. My text is the salutation in the last judgment to be given to those who have • show n hospitality, and kindness, and Christian helpfulness to strangers, lly railroad an d ^te am boat the population • ot the earth are all the time in motion, • and from one year’s end to another, our Cities are crowded with visitors. Every morn ing on the tracks of the Hud

•son Kiver, the Pennsylvania, the Erie, the Long Island railroads "there come passenger trains more than I can number, so that all the depots and the wharves are a-rumble and aclang with the coming in of a great immigration of strangers. Some of them come for purposes of barter, -some for mechanism, some for artistic gratification, some for sight-seeing. A great many of them go out on the evening trains, and consequently the ■city makes but little impression upon them; but there are multitudes who, in*the hotels aud boarding houses, make temporary residence. They tarry here for three or four days or as many weeks. They spend the days in the stores and the evenings in ?sight-seeing. Their temporary stay •anil make or break them, not only financially, but morally, for this world and the world that is to come. Multitudes of them come into our morning and evening services. I am conscious that I stand in the presence of many this moment. 1 desire more especially to speak to them. May God give me the right word and help me to jitter it in the right way. There have glided into this house those unknown to others, whose history, if told, would be more thrilling than the deepest tragedy, more exciting than Patti's song.more bright than a spring morning, more atvful than a wintry midnight. If they could stand up here and tell the story of their es>capes, and their temptations, and their bereavements, and their disasters, and their defeats, there would be in this house such a commingling of groans aud acclamations as would make the place unendurable. SFhere is a man who, in infancy, lay in% cradle satin-lined. Out j’onder is a man who was picked up, a foundling, on ISoston common. Here is a man who is coolly observing this religious service, expecting no advantage and caring for no advantage for himself; while yonder is a man whp has been for ten years in an awful conflagration of evil habits, and he: is a rsnere cinder of a destroyed nature^ and (he is wondering if . there shall be in this service any escape or help for his immortal soul. Meeting you only <once, perhaps, face to face, I strike htnJs with yon in an earnest* talk mbout your present condition and j*our eternal well-being. St. Paul’s ship at Melita went to pieces where two seas met; but we stand to-day at a point where a thousand seas converge, and eternity alone can tell the issue of the

The hotels of this country, for' "beauty and elegance, are not surpassed ■by the hotels in any other land; but those that are most celebrated for brilliancy of tapestry and mirror^;an not give to the guest any costly apartment, unless he can afford a parlor in addition to his lodging. The stranger, therefore, will generally find assigned to him a room without any pictures, .-and perhaps any rocking chair! lie ■will find a box of matches on a bureau, and an old newspaper left by the previous occupant, and that will be about all the ornamentation. At 7 o’clock in the evening, after having taken his repast, he will look over his memorandum book of the day’s work; lie will write a letter to his home, and then a desperation will seize upon him to get out. You hear the great city thundering under your windows, «nd you say, ‘‘I must join that procession,** and in ten minutes you have .joined it. Where are you going? “Oh,” you say, “I haven’t made up my itnind yet.” Better make up your mind l»efore you start. Perhaps the very way you go now you will always go. Twenty years ago there were * two joang men who came down the Astor bouse steps and started out in a WTOug direction, where they have been

jgoing ever since. “Well, where are you going?” says •one ■man. “I ana from? to the academy to hear some music.” Good. I would like to join you at the door. At the tap of the orchestral baton all the *rates of harmony and beauty will open before your soul. I congratulate you. Where are you going? “Well,” you say. “I ,ara going up to see some advertised pictures.” Good. I should like to go along with you and look • over the same catalogue and study with you Kensett and llierstadt and Church and Moran. Nothing more elevating than good pictures. Where are ^ou going? “Well,” you say.“I am going up to the Young Men’s Christian ■associationrooms.” Good. »You will find there gymnastics to strengthen the muscles and books to improve the mind and Christian influence to save the soul. I wish every city in the United States had as fine a palaee for its Young Men's Christian association a» New York has. Where are you go

1 ing? “Well,” you say, “I am going to j take a long walk up Broadway, and so i turn around into the llowery. I am | going to study human life.” Good. A walk through Broadway at eight o’clock at night is interesting, educating, fascinating, appalUng, exhiiarating to the last degril^ Stop in front <jf that theater, and *see who goes in. Stop at that saloon and see who come out. See the great tides of life surging backward and forward, and beating against the marble of the ! curbstone, and eddying down into the | saloons. What is that mark on the face of thht debauchee? It is the hectic flush of eternal death. What is that woman’s laughter? It is the shriek of a lost soul. Who is that Christian man going along with a vial ■of anodyne to the dying pauper on Elm street? Who is that belated man on the wav to a prayer meeting? Who is that city missionary going to take l box in which to bury a child? Who : are all these clusters of bright and ! beautiful faces? They are going tc 1 some interesting place of amusement. Who is that man going into the drug store? That is the man who j'esterday lost all his fortune in Wall street. He is going to get a dose of belladonna, and before morning it will make no difference to him whether stocks arcup or down. I tell you that Broadway, between seven and twelve o’clock at night, between the Battery and Central park, is an Austerlitz, a Gettysburg, a Waterloo, where kingdoms are lost or won, and three worlds mingle in the strife. I meet another’coming down off the hotel steps, and I say: “Where are you going?” You say: “I am going with a merchant of New York, who has promised to show me the underground life of the city. I am his customer. and he is going to oblige me very much.” Stop! A business house that tries to get or keep your custom through such a process as that is not worthy of you. There are business establishments in our cities which have for years been sending to destruction hundreds and thousands c f merchants. They have a seeret drawer in the counter where money is kept, and the clerk goes and gets it when he wants to take these visitors to the citt’ through the low slums of the place. Shdll I mention the names of some W-tnese great commercial establishments? I have them on mv lips? Shall I? Perhaps I had better leave it to the young men who, in that process, have been destroyed themselves while they have been destroying others. I care not how highsounding the name of a commercial establishment if it proposes to get customers or to keep them by such a pro

cess as that; drop their acquaintance. They will cheat you before you get through. ^They will send you a style of goods different from that which you bought by sample. They will give you under weight. There will*be in the package half a dozen less pairs of suspenders than you paid for. They will rob you. Oh, ybu feel in your pockets and sav: “Is my money gone?"’ They have robbed you of something for which dollars and cents can never give you compensation. When one of these western merchants has been dragged by one of those commerufal agents through the slums of the cb$* he is not fit to go home. The mere memory of what he has seen will be moral polution. I think you had better let the city missionary and the police at$ tend to the exploration of New York and underground life. You do not go to small-pox hospital for th« purpose of exploration. You do not go there because you are afraid of the contagion. And yet, you go into the presence of a moral leprosy that is as much more dangerous to you as the death of the soul is worse than the death of the bodv^ I will undertake to say that nine-tenths of the men who 4ywe been ruined in our cities have been ruined by simply going to observe without any idea of participating. The fact is, that underground city life is a filthy, fuming, reeking, pestiferous depth which blasts the eye that looks at it. In the reig n of terror, in 1T92, in Paris, people, escaping from the officers of the law, got into the sewers of the city and crawled and walked through miles of that awful labyrinth, stifled with the atmosphere and almost dead, some of them, when they came out the river Seine, where they washed themselves and again breathed the fresh air. Hut I have to tell you that a great many of the men who go on the work of exploration through the underground gutters of New York life never come out at any Seine river where -they can wash off the pollution of the moral sewage. Stranger. If one of the representatives of a commercial establishment proposes to take you and show you the “sights** of the town and underground New York, say to him: “Please, sir, what dp you propose to show me?” About sixteen years ago, as a minister of religion, I felt I had a Divine commission to explore the iniquities of our cities. I did not ask counsel of my session, or my presbytery, or of the newspapers, but asking the companionship of three prominent police officials

and two of the elders or my church, I unrolled my commission, and it said: “Son of man, dig into the wall; and when I digged into the wall, behold a door; and he said, go in and see the wicked abominations that are done here; and I went in, and saw, and behold!” Brought up in the country, and surrounded by much parental care, I had not until that time seen the haunts of iniquity. By the grace of God ^defended. I had never sowed my “wild oats.” 1 had somehow been able to tell from various sources something about the iniquities of the great cities, and to preaeh against them; but I saw, in the destruction of a great multitude of the people, that there must be an infatuation and a temptation that had never been spoken about, and I said; “I will explore.” I saw thousands of men going down, and if there had been a spiritual percussion answering to the physical percussion, the whole air would have been full of the rumble,

an3P roar, and crack, and thunder of the demolition, and this moment, if we would pause in our service, we should hear the crash, crash! Just as in the sickly season yon sometimes hear the bellut the gate of the cemetery ringing- almost incessantly, so 1'found that the bell at the gate of the cemetery where ruined souls are buried was tolling by day and by night. I said: “I will explore.” I went as a physician goes into a fever lazaretto, to see what practical and useful information 1 might get. That would be a foolish doctor j who would stand outside the door of an invalid .writings Latin prescription. When the lecturer in a medical college is done with his lecture, he takes the students into the dissecting room, and he shows them the reality. I went and j saw, and came forth to my pulpit to j report a plague, and_to tell how | sin dissects the both*, and dissects the mind, and dissects the soul. “Oh!” j say you,- “are you not afraid that in consequence of such exploration of the i iniquities of the city other persons ' might make exploration, and do themi selves damage?” I reply: “If. in company with the commissioner of police, and the captain of police, and the inspector of police, and the company of twoChristian gentlemen, and not with the spirit of curiosity but that you may see sin in order the better to combat it, then, in the name of the eternal God, go? Hut, if not, then stay away.” Wellington, standing in the battle of Waterloo when the bullets were buzzing around his head, saw a civilian on the field. He said to him: “Sir, what are you doing here? Be ottgf “Why,” replied the ,civilian, “there is no more danger here for me than there is for you.” Then Wellington flushed up and said: “God and my country demand that I be here.but , you have no errand here.” Now I as ; an officer in the army of Jesus Christ, | went on that exploration and on to that battlefield. If you bear a like commission, go; if not, stay away. But you saj-: “Don't you think that some- . how the description of those places induce people to go and see for themselves?” I answer, yes. jifst as much

as the description oi yellow lever m Some scourged city would induce people to go down there and get the pestilence. But I may be addressing some stranger already destroyed. Where is he, that I may pointedly yet kindly address him? Come back! and wash in the deep fountain of a Saviour’s mercy. I do not give 3 011 a cup or a chalice, or a pitcher with a limited suppl.v to effect 3-our ablutions. I point 3'ou to the five oceans of God’s r mercy. Oh! that the Atlantic and Pacific surges of Divine forgiveness might roll over your soul. As the glorious sun of God’s forgiveness rides on toward the mid-heavens, ready 'to submerge you in warmth and light and love, I bid you good morning! Morning | of peace for all your troubles. Morning of liberatiop for all your incarcerations. Morning of resurrection for your soul buried in sin. Good morning! Morning for the resuscitated household that has been waiting for your return. Morning for the cradle and the crib already^ disgraced with being that *>f a drunkard’s child. Morning for. the daughter that has trudged off to hard work because you did not take care pf home. Morning for the wife who at forty and fifty years has the wrinkled face, and the stooped shoulder, and the white hair. Morning for one. Morning for all. Good morning! In God’s name, good morning! 4 Sabbath morning comes. You wake up in the hotel. You have had a, longer sleep than usual. You say: “Where am 1? a thousand miles from home. 11 have no faqdly to take to church today. My pastor will not expect my presence. I think I shall look over my accounts and study my memorandumbook. Then I will write a few business letters, hod talk to that merchant who came in on the same train with me.” Stop! you can not afford to do it. “But,-'’you $ay, “lam worth five hundred thousand dollars.” You can not afford to do it You sa\-1 am worth one million. You can not afford to do it. All 3’ou gain by breaking the Sabbath you will lose. You will lose one of three things: your intellect, 3-our morals or your property and you can not point in the whole earth to a single exception to this rule. “God gives us six days and keeps one foir Himself. Now. if we try to get the seventh, He will upset the work of the other six. 0. strangers, welcome to the great city. May you find Christ here, and not any physical or moral damage.

Men coming’ from inland, from distant cities, have here found God, and found Him in our service. May that be your case to-day. You thought yon were brought to this place merely for the purpose of sight-seeing. Perhaps God brought you to this roaring city for the purpose of working out your eternal salvation. Go back to your homes and tell them how you met Christ here—the loving, patient, pardoning and sympathetic Christ. Who knows but the city which has been the destruction of so many may be your eternal redemption. A good many years ago Edward Stanley, the English commander, with his regiment, took a fort. The fort was manned by some three hundred Spaniards. Edward Stanley earae close up to the fort, leading his men, when a Spaniard thrust at him with a spear, intending to destroy his life; but Stanley caught hold of the spear and the Spaniard in attempting to jerk the spear away from Stanley lifted him up into the battlements. No sooner had Stanley taken his position on the battlements than he swung his sword and his whole regiment leaped after him and the fort was taken. So it may be with yon, 0 stranger. The city influences which have destroyed so many and dashed them down forever shall he the means of lifting you up into the tower of God's mercy and strength, vour soul more than conquer* or through the grace of Him who has promised an especial benediction to those who shall treat you well, saying: “I wtiva stranger and ye took me in.” i ,.t 1 . . .>

PROTECTION AND OPPRESSION. How Worklnimen Are Prevented from Signing Tariff Reform Petitions. Thousands of petitions have been sent to congress in favor of the Wilson bill and tens of thousands against it After the elections of 1890 and 1393, this fact might seetn strange to some. If so, it is because they do not under* stand the present economic situation. The do not realize to what extremes political manufacturers will go to prevent the loss of the pap that has nourished, or rather stimulated, them. It takes unusual courage to enable factory employes to sign petitions which are not sanctioned by the bosses. Those who have gone amongst the “protected” workingmen and have met them in their homes and lodges, say that there are very few tariff reform

uactcsuuers, even uuring tnese uaru times—falsely credited to the shadow of the Wilson bill The workingmen, however, think it bad policy for them to sign tariff reform or free trade petitions, when such action will imperil their positions and bring, hardship upon themselves and their families. Besides, they think it unnecessary. They voted twice for radical tariff reform and they now expect congress to do what it was elected to do. If it does not. they are likely to cast about next fall for a new party that promises to keep its promises. Mr. R F. Longstreet tells us in the Courier, of St Louis, how protectionist oppression is applied in Worcester, Mass, On January 3, Mr. Thomas F. Kennedy succeeded in having resolutions indorsing the Wilson bill adopted by the central labor union of Worcesrter. These were the resolutions which Congressman J. H. Walker, of Worcester, refused to present to congress and which were finally presented by Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, & man not under the thumb of protected manufacturers, because Medieine Lodge, his home, is not a manufacturing eenter. Mr. Kennedy, who is a laster in one of the leading shoe houses of Worcester, and who is a sober, steady, intelligent and worthy workingman, expected to lose his position. His employers “laid for him” but they waited until February, when matters had cooled down, before discharging him. An old man, a war veteran, who was in the thickest of the anti-slavery fight in Kansas, feeling confident that he could secure hundreds of petitions in favo^of the Wilson bill, as being “in the right direction,” drew up a petition, but upon going to his work that morning he was surprised by the labored efforts of the men to keep out of his reach. Newspaper reports of his intention had anticipated his arrival at the shop that day, and late in the afternoon he found the explanation to be that the “boss” had passed the word among the men in this threatening injunction: “You had better keep away from that man with his devilish heresies ” He is in daily expectation of his discharge v Mr. Longstreet, who has been active for radical tariff reform, says that he has been made to feel the pressure of protection to such an extent that he has sold out his business, and will leave Worcester to locate in a less protected and, therefore, more liberal city. It is really a serious matter for workingmen in protected industries to express their honest convictions? without the secret ballot, in most states in 1S90 and 1892, it is not improbable that we would not now know their honest convictions were for tar ff reduction.

WEAK-KNEED DEMOCRATS. Men Who Are Afraid to Show Their Colon In Public. The reform club of New York had & big tariff reform meeting in Little Falls, N. Y., on February 32. There was great opposition to the meeting. At 7:30 p. m., the opera house had not been lighted, but few people had arrived and the prospects for a successful meeting were not flattering. It was then that the leading democrats who had given but half-hearted support to the arrangements, began to decline the honor of acting as chairman to introduce Mr. W. B. Estell, the speaker. Disgusted at the cowardice of the democratic politicians, the reform club representative at last asked Mr. P. W. Casler, a manufacturer and farmer, but not a politician, if he would preside He gladly consented to do so. Here is a part of what he said: “We all understand the object of this meeting. Not even the most radical of our republican friends claim that democratic laws have caused any of the hard times through which we are passing. They only claim that it is the fear of what may happen should the Wilson bill become a law that has caused the stagnation in trade and the closing up of our mills. In regard to what would be the consequence of the enactment of the Wilson bill, opinions differ, and we have with us to-night a gentleman who will explain most fully the democratic position on this question, and show you by facts and figures

laai mere can ue no quesuuu uui uiab the passage of proper tariff reform measures will not only restore our former prosperity, but greatly enhance it. He will also show that the present depression is due, not to democratic measures or the fear of democratic measures, but to the condition, the country was left in by the actual results of republican laws and repub* lican mismanagement. I know that there are many within these walls tonight who are sorry that they voted for Cleveland and a change in the national policy. But I want to tell them that had the republican party continued their extravagant rule and financial policy we would be suffering ten times as badly as we are now. The condition of these weak-kneed democrats is the same as was that of many republicans after the election of Lincoln. They had voted for Lincoln and the abolition of slavery; but when they began to realize what a radical change it would make, the secession of the southland the utter prostration of the business interests of the country, they weakened and were sorry that they voted the right way, and many of the leaders in the republican party, the leader of that party in this stata,

advocated abandoning the principled nppn which Lincoln was elected and allowing slavery not only to continue in the south, but to extend right through the sta tes to California. I believe in the future, when we look back I to the time when we voted for tariff 1 reform, we will do so with as much satisfaction as those who voted for the abolition of slavery and fought and bled for that cause.” HIS CONSISTENCY. Row the Champion of Protection Stumbled Over Himself. 3 Sixty-five of Maj. McKinley’s speeches and addresses have just been printed in one large volume, intended as bait to induce the next republican domination for the presidency to come this way. Here are a few of the contradictions on the subject of “who pays tariff taxes” as they occur in McKinley’s new book: What, then, is the tariff? The tar* iff is a tax put upon goods made outside of the United States and bronght into the United States for sale and consumption. If a man comes to our cities and wants to sell goods to our people on the street, we say to him: “Sir, yon must pay so much into the city treasury for the privilege of selling

goous 10 our people nere. i\ow, wny do we do that'? We do it to protect our own merchants. Just so our government says to the countries of the old world: “If you want to come in and sell to our people, and make money from our people, you must piy something for the privilege of doing it” Now, that is the tariff (pp 185, 1S6; October 29, 18S5). - We tell every man in America who wants Scotland's pig iron, if he thinks it is better and does not want the American pig iron—we tell him that if he must have the Scotch, ‘‘vbu must pay for the privilege,” and in that way we maintain that great industry (p* 188; October 29, 1885). Under this law (the McKinley bill) the (United States) government cannot go abroad and buy whatjt can get at home without paying a duty. The result will be that the government hereafter will buy more at home and less abroad—and it ought to. (Applause.) (p 511; April 10. 1891k They say “the tariff is a tax.” That is a captivating Cry. So it is a tax; but whether it is burdensome upon the American people depends upon who pays it. If we pay it. why should the foreigners object? Why all these objections in England, France, Germany, Canada, and Australia against the tariff law of 1S90, if the American consumer bears the burdens* and if the tariff is only added to the foreign cos t which the American consumer pays? If they pay it, then we do not pay it (p. 579; May 17.1892). Last year we paid $55*000,000 out of out own pockets to protect whom? To protect the men in the United States who are producing just one-eigth of the amount of our consumption of sugar. Now we wipe tha^ out, and it will cost us to pay the bousty just $7,000,000 every twelve months, which furn ishes the same protection at very much less cost to the consumer. So we save $47,000,000 every year and leave that vast sum in the pockets of our own people. (Applause on the republican side) (p. 452; May 29, 1890). WHAT IS WEST VIRGINIA? Wbjr Should the Two S*nator» from Such a Small State Jeopardise Reforms Asked hr the Whole Country? Senators Camden and Faulkner join with Senator Gorman in insisting that coal and iron be taxed. They say that “their state” demands it. What is their state? Who are their constituents? West Virginia had in 1890 a population of 763,794, of whom 181,400 were males of voting age. Of the breadwinners, according to the census of 1880, 107,578 were engaged in agriculture, 51,680 in professional and personal service, 10,653 in trade and transportation. and 26,288 in manufacturing, mechanical and mining industries The value of the coal output in 1890 was $5,086,584; capital invested in the mines, $10,508*000; number of employes 9,952; wages $3,888*000. | The capital invested in iron mining in 1890 was $3,905,000; total wages paid 2,468 workers $557,061. . , How small a part of West Virginia’s industry is represented by these figures will appear by a single comparison: The value of farms in 18S0 was $133,147,000; of the live stock. $17,743,000; of farm products $20,000,000. The capital

invested and the ^’durkmen employed in manufactures, transportation and other industries that would be benefited by cheaper coal and iron, added to the agricultural totals, show the immense preponderance of men and money interested in untaxing crude materials. If the duty on coal and iron does not enable the producers of these materials to charge more for them it fails to “protect,” If it does enable them to charge more it is a tax on consumers. If free raw materials be not democratic policy, nothing in relation to the tariff is distinctively democratic. What are Senators Camden and Faulkner representing in demanding the mutilation of the Wilson bill by the addition of duties on cpal and iron? Not the state, the people, or the preponderating interests of West Virginia. Are they senators for special companies or corporations? How can the democratic party consistently yield to their demand?—N. Y. World. —“If congress,” says the Louisville Courier-Journal (dem.), “will execute the mandate it has received from the people, its task is comparatively easy.. | If it insists on executing the mandate j of a iobby of protectionisms it cannot j reform the tariff, but the people will address themselves to the task of reforming congress.”—Post, —Rousseau said that no government; can long stand when deaths continue to outnumber births, because such a result means that the earnings of the people are getting below the line of subsistence. If'France does not get rail of the McKinley system it is likely to realize the value of this clear-cut brilliant of political economy.
