DO YOU WANT A SEWING MA
CHINE ?
If You Do Aud Want to Get the
Cheapest and the Best and Would
Like to Save $25 to $35 at the
Same Time, You Would Do
Well to Write to Us.
We are still selling our matchless
high arm sewing machines together
with The Sunny South for $20.00
This is by all odds the best bargain
ever offered by any publication to its
subscribers.
We buy this machine direct from
the factory in Illinois, and have then
to pay more for them than any other
paper in America pays for premium
sewing machines even when they buy
them troru middle men. We do not
li iieve iu offering poor premiums, es
pecially in offering inferior machines.
We guarantee each machine we sell,
and are prepared to make our guar
antee good at all times.
I)o rot listen to sewing machine
agents who will possibly tell you that
we sell a cheap machine which will
not last and which will not do good
work.
We sell for $20 00, with The Sunny
South one year, a sewing machine
which we defy you to duplicate from
any agent in America for less than
forty or fifty dollars. It is a beautiful
machine and has all the very latest
attachments and will do the very fin
est of work as neatly and as easily as
it will do the coarsest. We have never
sent out a single one of these machines
and had to take it back. We have
never even had a single complaint
against one of chem, but on the other
hand have heard nothing but praise
for it wherever a sale was made. It
got>3 to the purchaser neatly packed
and in splendid condition, and when
it is unpacked is found to be as hand
some as it is durable and useful.
Keniember our offer which is open
all the time. It is no special offer for
this particular place, or for any par
ticular person. It is an offer which
stand ready to make good any
time. Buy cue of our machines and
pay us $20 00 for it one year with the
paper, if, after you see it and sew on
] t, you do not >hink it is as good a ma
chine as you can get from any local
agent for $50, then have it packed up
at our expense, and return it to us at
cur expense, aud we will pay all re
turn charges on it, and will refund
you the whole amount we have re
ceived from you for it.. This is busi
ness. We mean every word we say,
and we certainly can give you no bet
ter proof of our good faith, or of our
confidence in the machine we sell. Do
not confound this machine with the
machines which newspapers are sell-
nig al! over the country at a price of
about $17 or$lS with their papers for
one year. There is nothing in com
mon between them unless it may be
at they will both take stitches,
lhere is as much difference between
the machiue which we sell and the or
dinary premium sewing machine as
tuere is between a fine silk dress and
a calico. Hither will answer the pur
pose since they are both dresses, but
who would think of comparing silk to
calico?
l f . therefore, you want a first-class
sewing machine, you will regret it if
you do not correspond with us before
buying.
Our reputation for integrity and
^ir dealing is well established, and
we certainly have no object in mis
representing in the sligntest degree
!e machines we are handling.

IS GOLD ANY MORE SOUND AS
MONEY THAN SILVER?
George Canning Hill wrote as fol
lows in the American Journal of Pol
itics (N. Y.) for September:
' r '
HOSE who, from inter
est or ignorance, set up
a conserted outcry for
“sound money,” for
“honest money,”
would have us think
that gold only is that
money; and their con
stant allegation in
support of their wor
ship of gold is that it
possesses an almost
unvarying value
which entitles it to the exclusive
name of standard. But the most cur
sory review of the facts of monetary
history shows the fallacy of such an
assumption. Gold appreciates and
depreciates as well as silver. Silver
will today bring as much per ounce of
the commodities as it ever did. It is
gold that has appreciated in conse
quence of legislation favorable to it,
and because its annual production is
steadily diminishing in the face of an
increasing competition among civiliz
ed nations for its possession.
So to say that silver is no longer
“honest money,” equally with gold,
simply because it has come under the
ban of legislative conspiracy, accom
plishing its selfish ends by surrepti
tious methods, and at a time when
neither of the two metals was in use,
is to utter a monetary falsehood for
which no sincerely honest excuse can
be framed or conceived. There is
really no such fiction as a seventy-
eight or a seventy-two-cent dollar,
when a silver dollar will buy what it
always would, or an ounce of silver
will buy as much as it ever would of
needed commodities. Why not say
that a gold dollar which nobody ever
sees, and so therefore made the “stand
ard” dollar, is worth $122 or $1.28?
But that is not the fashion of the ar
gument with the creditor dynasty;
they do not care to pull the wool over
that eye.
A careful comparison ot the pur
chasing power of gold and silver will
show that both have appreciated in
relation to commodities generally;
the latter in comparatively small
measure, the former immensely and
ruinously. The reason for the great
change in the relation of the two
metals is obviously that one of them,
silver, has by mistaken and mischiev
ous legislation been deprived of its
legal-tender function.
And if gold, equally with silver,
rises and falls, appreciates and de
preciates, why is it any more sound
and honest money than silver? How
long ago was it that the proposition
was made to demonetize gold instead
of silver? Germany at one time se
riously considered it. We of the
United States were likewise talking
of It. The supply of the yellow metal
was then $200,000,000 yearly; nowit
has dropped to $1°4,000 000, and with
gold alone as legal-tender money for
all amounts, with the annual supply
diminishing, and other nations com
peting eagerly for it, how long will it
be before falling prices (of commodi
ties) will drag down all profits with
them, and all further enterprise ter
minate in a universal panic that will
precipitate industrial chaos and so
cial confusion?
It is important above all things to
understand wnat an enormous loss of
wealth has been suffered by the coun
try in consequence of the demonetiza
tion of silver, aud the consequent ap
preciation of gold. Few people have
any idea of the extent of the actual
robbery deliberately committed. The
accepted estimate is that the silver-
miners themselves submitted to a loss
of $S,000,000 a year, but how is it with
the cotton-grower and the wheat-
raiser? Let. us see.
When silver was demonetized in
1873 cotton brought 16.4 cents per
pound, in 1889 it brought 9 9 cents per
pound, showing a clear loss of $227,-
500,000 on the yield of the year which
was 3,500,000,000 pounds. Averag
ing the output for the whole
seventeen years, and tne prices
of the whole period, there is
an average annual loss of $83,000,000
on the cotton-product, for the whole
period. Subject to the same causes
the wheat growers of America lost
$100,000,000 a year for the period in
question. During these seventeen
years, the two great agricultural in
terests ot the United States were
mulcted in a sum of over $3,000,000,-
000 as a result of the demonetization ot
silver. In comparison with this, how
insignificant is the loss to the silver-
producers which for the same period
amounts to only $129 287,220! Yet the
taunt is kept up that the restoration
of silver to its place beside gold is de
manded chierty «r wholly by the mine
owners and the “silver States,” and,
therefore, for purely selfish reasons.
It is the creditor class only which is
so loud in its demand for “honest mon
ey,” a phrase which means only the
dearest money, the money which
wrings more toil and sweat from labor
to obtain it. Our money system has
been grossly tampered with at the in
stigation, and with the active con
trivance of, our foreign creditors, for
the sole and selfish purpose of increas
ing the value ol our securities by
them. This is robbing us with de
liberate intent.
Are these immense losses to con
tinue? Is this needless waste to go
on. Are a comparatively few men
who constitute the creditor class to be
always allowed to discourage oapital
in its quest of enterprises that are
productive, and deny employment to
laber, that they may themselves grow
rich, while the people are in conse
quence growing poor.

CANNOT FRATERNIZE WITH UNBELIEV
ERS.
Christ did not hold a Parliament to
arrange a basis of general fraternity.
He said: “If ye believe not that I am
He, ye shall die in your sins.” We
believe in fraternity with evangelical
Christians of every name, but not with
Buddhists, Confuoians, Mormons, Uni
tarians, and infidels, and this latter is
the avowed object of the Parliament.
Our Assembly expressed its positive
disapproval of the scheme. Our mis
sionaries, so far as they have spoken,
have taken the same ground.—Herald
and Presbyter, Cincinnati.
ALL ARE BRETHREN.
We extend a greeting to every re
ligion on the face of the earth. If the
Mohammedan can find God through
his peculiar creed, or the Confucian,
or the Brahmin, and if these pious
folK can turn the current of evil and
bring public opinion to a higher moral
level, we offer our congratulations.
While we ourselves believe in the en
nobling revelations of Christianity,
are sure that it contains tne true anti
dote for the poisons of life, and pic
tures a worthier future, we extend our
hand to every man, of whatever clime,
or color, or oreed, who lives with holy
impulses and would communicate
them to others. We declare, there
fore, that the Parliament of Religions
now holding its sessions in Chicago is
the grandest spectacle which the Ex
position furnishes.—New York Her
ald.
whatever in the practices of Islam is
contrary to the moral sense of our
dam are to be rejected, precisely as
Jews and Christians revere Abraham
and the other patriarchs without ap
proving or practising polygamy. The
Buddhists are also turning their faces
toward the rising sun of modern ideas
and methods. Should the fifth cen
tennial of the discovery of America
be celebrated by a Parliament of Re
ligions, the one now m session would
probaby be recognized as the first
step in a wo nderful movement toward
harmonizing the faiths of the world.

A “new world-consciousness.”
Not ever before did a single plat
form have gathered upon it a group
of men so widely representative at
once of the various races and nation
alities and religious faiths of the
world. However various, however di
vergent their beliefs, they all felt that
they had a common right to sit to
gether and confer as brothers in the
one human family. The spectacle
presented to any one at all sensitive
to the infinite pathos of the sorrows
and the hopes that take hold On both
time and eternity, was of overwhelm
ing interest. And one grand effect of
it must inevitably he to awaken in the
hearts of all thoughtful religionists,
Christian or non-Christian, what one
might call a new “world-conscious
ness .” If not a wholly new, it is a
vastly broader horizon that is now
seen to bend over and include them
all.—Chicago Advance.
“am i my brother’s kbeper?”
From the archbishop of the Catholic
church in Chicago, from the cardinal
of the Catholic church in America,
from archbishops and princes of the
Greek church in Russia and in the
Morea, from representatives of
Lutheran Germany, of the English
State church in British colonies, from
the teachers of the Confucian doctrine
in China, from reverend expounders
of the Puritanism of New England,
from Protestant bishops in Africa,
from disciples of Mohammed, from
Hindoos learned in the Veda3 and
Sbastras, from Japanese exponents of
Shintoism, from men gathered—as in
St. John’s vision—from aU kindreds
and nations and peoples and tongues,
the world is receiving one lesson,
taught by divers methods, that the
end and aim of all religions is an af
firmative answer to the question, first
nspired by the evil one, “Am I my
brother’s keeperP”—Chicago Inter-
Ocean.
harmonizing the faiths.
The Parliament of Religions now in
session as a part of the Colombian
Exposition is another concentration
of light flashed upon current happen
ings to rev* al the characteristic
spirit of the times. The representative
from remote lands and Churches hav
ing little in common with Cbristiani-
anity are showing signs of a new
birth. Even the believers in ths
prophet of Mecca and hto Koran are
Deginnmg to move the direction of
radical reforms. The new-school Mo
hammedans say that polygamy and
nothing like it since the tower of
BABEL.
Of all the gatherings or represen
tatives. of all climes and Nations
which the great Fair has witnessed,
this Congress of Religions, which is
now in session, is by aH odds the
most impressive. Nowhere else have
such sharp contracts in beliefs and in
personality been presented. Since
the Tower of Babel the sun has not
looked down upon such a scene as that
beheld for a week or more past in the
Hall of Columbus. A Jew, a Chris
tian, and a Hindoo spoke from the
same platform in one morning. Fol
lowers of Confncins and Mohammed
sat side by side with dignitaries of
the Greek church, and Boston Unitari
ans in the audience.—Boston Journal.
CARDINAL GIBBONS.
The address delivered by Cardinal
Gibbons dwelt on the duty our com
mon brotherhood imposes on each of
us. He declared that there was one
platform on which all are united. That
was charity, humanity, and benevo
lence. Taking the good Samaritan,
who bound up the wounds of a person
not of his own religion as an example,
he said he coaid not impress too
strongly on every one that each was
his brother’s keeper. “That,” he de
clared, “was the whole theory of hu
manity. If Christ bad cried with
Cam, ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ we
would still be walking in darkness.”—

infrequently meet the low-minded, de
ceptive Uriah Heep, the very incarna
tion of loathsome duplicity; we have
all been associated with more than
one Dora, so charmingly innocent in
her perfect simplicity; and the list
might be continued indefinitely until
for almost all of Dickens' varied char
acters we could find the counterpart
in actual life.
Reared, as he was in extreme pov
erty, and habituated to its inevitable
hardship, he was enabled, from per
sonal experience and observation, to
deal effectively with that life which
was doubtless fraught with bitter
memories to himself.
It has been said that a person should
not attempt to write of anything with
which he was, not familiar, and herein
was Dickens’ success. He wrote of
the things of which he knew. No fic
titious character was Mr. Micawber,
but a very good representation of the
author’s father. Many of the hu
miliating experiences of David Cop-
perfleld marred the happiness of
his own childhood, and left
an indelible impression that, in
afser years assumed the form of fic
tion. Had his youthful training, and
early associations been different per
haps the innate talent, the almost in
exhaustible ability to paint pen pict
ures of all that came within the scope
of his alert observation or keen percep
tion, would never have been developed,
and England would not have given to
the world the writer whose produc

admirers of pure aud elevating litera

enormous good must flow. The reli

THE DAWN OF THE MILLENNIUM.
Prelates of the Church of Rome are
among the chief disputants, while the
hierarchy of the religions of the East
—of India, of China, and of Russia-
follow each other in friendly conten
tion and earnest exhortation. The
differences in the Protestant creeds
are lost sight of for the moment, and
Baptist and Methodist, Presbyterian
and Episcopalian, disciples of Calvin
and of Swedenborg join hands in a
universal love-feast, and sing praises
to that Almighty Being to whom all
most reverently bow and tender their
homage. The Church universal is as
sembled this day in the most cosmo
politan oity in the world. Verily it
looks like the dawn of the millennium.
—St. Paul Globe.
RELIGION SHORN OF BARNACLES.
The spectacle, however, of Jew,
Christian, Pagan, Brahmin, and Greek
meeting under the same canopy in
fellowship to discuss amicably their
respective creeds is, indeed, an im
pressive one. It is a departure from
the lines which down the centuries
have held apart these orders to as
great a degree as if they occupied
different planets, and feared pollution
from the very presence of each other.
In the light of this gladsome era re-
“It is all very lovely to become en
gaged to the man of your choice and
enjoy those blissful moments that
come only once in a lifetime,” remark
ed an elderly lady to a writer for the
Louisville Post, “but when the young
fiance has to go through the ordeal of
meeting her intended husband’s par
ents then, indeed, is a trying moment
that very few gins pass through with
out remembering very vividly.
“The bride-to-be may have been
known to the family for years, and
yet when the son announces to his
parents that she is the girl of his
choice and the one whomAie wishes
to make his wife, she au once be
comes in a certain degree a different
according
ly. No son ever yet married a woman
whom his father thought quite good
enough for him, though the outside
world may think the contrary. The
girl is always looked upon by the
mother as an interloper, who has
come between her and her son’s af
fections.
“When, therefore, the young girl is
brought in contact with her fiance’s
parents, knowing the innate antagon
ism that reigns against her, she is
seldom, if ever, at her best, and is
more apt to court disfavor than com
plimentary comment from his rela
tives, simply from the fact that she is
half scared to death. In my experi
ence I have noticed that much of the
trouble between a mother-in-law and
her son’s wife have been due to jeal
ousy, and if at the very beginning
these two could form a compact of
mutual admiration for the son and
husband and mutual forbearance
with each oterh, there would <t)e
fewer family jars.”
