B*ooki.tx, November 30.???[Bp??inl.]???At the anneal Thanksgiving services at tho Brooklyn tabernacle, the church was pro fusely decorated with corn from tho west,, sugar, cane from Louisiana, wheat from the north and cotton from Georgia. The opening hymn was: ???Hark, the sound ot jubilee Loud as mighty thunder's roar." The subject of tho sermon by Dr. Talmago was ???Thanksgiving day, 18SJ.??? Tho tost, were; Ezekiel xli. 11, ???Another door toward the south of Bevelatlon;??? xzi, 13, ???On the south-three gates.??? Dr. Talmago said: ???King Geofge, of L'ngland, nt' the close ol the Bevolntionnry war, in which he hod lost tho thirteen colonies, set apart a day for - national thanksgiving, because of tho return of peace. A chaplain of the king asked him, ???Are you going to return thanks for tho loss of the thirteen brightest jowcls of your crown???? ???No; not fof that,??? answerod the king. ???Be- caueo so many millions havo boon added to the national debt?" ???So; not for that,??? answered the king. ???Because so many thou sands have' been slain, though -belonging to the same race and religion???? ???No; not for that,??? answered the king. ???For what, then,??? insisted the chaplain, ???does your majesty ???want us to give thanks???? ???Thank God,??? vehemently cried the king, ???thank God it is not any worsor* And if tho yoar now past has brought to any of you misfortune or calamity or bereavemont you have so many mercies left that yon ought to thank God that things are no worse with you than they are. Bat to vast throngs of ns it has boon a year of everlasting mercy, and as individuals, as a church, as a nation wo kcop jubilee, and would to God that our habit of gratltudo might be come as fixed as that of St. Felix, the monk of Cantallce, who on nil occasions, whether stepping a light or soliciting alms for tho sftn&atory. cried out, ???Deo gratiss,??? (thanks he to God), until tho church called him Brother Deo Gratias, and tho children hailed him along the street as Father Deo Gratias. Alter a year In which other nations havo lolt the scourgo of epidemic, but this land has been spared, alter emerging unhart bom a presidential contest in which tho blind Samson of partisanship threatened to null down tho pillars of state and to leave the temple fiat In the dust, and after 333 more days of kindness froth our God we aro here. In tho gracoful and splendid decoration of tliia church to-day, with the grain and buita ot all soctions, wo have an American congress of nations! products. Delegations bom north, south, east and west. Here are delegations with white hair from the cotton fields ofihe south- Hero aro these with auburn beards and locks bom tho golden Wheat fields of the north. Hero are butts that Havo in their round chocks the blush of tho setting sun of tho west. Behold this most from southern woods, the bridal veil of the forest.- 'Behold these plumes of pampas bom the far west.

Harvests of 1334 looking down upon ail their predecessors. So the wave of temporal blessings has dasncd to tho top of tho tuition's corn bln. ??? ??? Ayo, tho prosperity of this nation has rolled up until tho crest of the wave has broken and recoiled upon itself. Koro corn and* wheat and-cotton and rice than wo can find profit able market Ibr. Mora tnannfhcitircd goods than wo can diipoio of. The grain marketa arc glottal and the factories by tho hundred* stopped or run with only half tho spindles harnessed and wages are ent down because tho supply has'swamped tho demand. Nothing is the matter to-day with this country but over-production and under-consnmption. When thero is "work for ten there ere twenty who offer their services, and tho hundred thousand wheels of American Industry are slowing up not becauso there is too little but because thero is too much. God has snowed upon the track of the nation such vast a6cu- mulation of prosperity that tho englao which drswethc train cannot plough any turther through. Tho American nation is being choked jo death with" surplus of production and mnntiftcturos. Too much wheat, too much corn, too much cotton, too much fruit, too much coal and iron, too much hardware, too many dry goods, too many shoe#, too many carpets, too many philosophical instramsnts, too many cattle, too many sheep, too many artisans, too many merchants, too many law yers, too many doctors and bom the largo numbers of excellent men in my own profess, ion without settlements samo might think too inony ministers. Tho dclugo of supply rises 13 cubits high above tho mountains of demand. Tho loti of national wealth it greater than the team can draw. Tho man who diet for lack of a crust of bread Is no worse off than the man wboia smothered to death in a wheat bin. The nation suffers to-day not of marasmus but of plethores, not from consumption but from apoplexy. What shall we do. Let us ruth right down to Washington and havo the tariff changed, say a multitude. But put up the tariff os high os the tip-top bouse of Mount Washington and whilo you might koep out foreign goods, we have enough mills of our own loft to weave ten lltnnel shirts where there is only ono back to wear them, and tea pair of sheet for every two feet that needs them and twenty curtains for every window that could support them and twenty pair of 070 glasses for ell the visions that conid be reinforced by them and twenty ear trumpets for nil that could hear through them. Boctor the tariff with homeopathic or allopathic or eclectic dose from now until the Thanksgiving Day of the year 3,MO and you cannot in that way cure this chronic national malady. Others hope by change of national adminis tration to correct tho trouble. No president, though he combined the patriotism of a Wash ington and the brotfd views of a Jeff erson and the suavity of Madison and the courage of an Andrew Jackson and the old-fashioued hon esty ot anAbrahsm Lincoln, could regulate the inexorable law of supply and derannd. ???Well,??? tome sav. ???Ictus pack our trunks and move east or north or west.??? Going east to ward Europe would be exodus into starvation. The avalanche of population from Europe astern us that that country it already over- crowded. We all know that Ibis is the best country to live in.- I have eight hundred end fifty tboxeuid new reasons for saying to??? eight hundred and fifty thouiend people com- ing in one year from the other side the tea to ear country. If tbit had not been the best country tolive in there would have been 850,009 Americans going to the other tide the Atlantic. Ehtll we go north? Already the busiest lives oi competition ore along the fit. Lawrence end the Androscoggin and the Penobscot and the woods of Maine and the waters of tho Lake chain answer ???no room here.??? rihail we go west? There Is no west. The emigrantscheted it across the Ohio, across the Missiasipi i, serosa the La PUUe^na Fremont's lUeky mountains to the Sierra Nevada. while the foriy-niscra from California, lulling from their ship* on the pacific beach, took the west in the rear. And the workmen of the Union Pacific end Northern I'cciii: and -Ecuthcm Pacific coxae-upon it with their Sfrdoi, ami the gixrt west fcte coated. And though many might suppose that it might be said of it as of Moses: ???No man knoweth ol his repule' this day,??? I think that the Votomltei .. , is its sarcophagus with El Capitan for the head stone and Cathedra] rock at tho foot. The millions oi foreign population that are yet to cross tho sea for Amerira will soon fill all tho eras between tho Atlantic and tho Pacino vO iches. But in the words of my text I new declare ???another door toward tho south,??? and when I say south, I do not mean the southern states of the nation, but I mean a magnificent infinity of opportunity beyond, Fortugucso America, the fifteen Spanish-Americsn republics tad the islands ortho south Pacific, Through that door will come the complete and glorious re lief for all this ovor-snpply. It will come within ten years, within five, within three. On the 13th of next month at the New Orleans exposition, that door will begin to swingopen. And if tho government of the United States fully appreciate the opportunity and the peo ple will help, the highest water mark that the wore of our national prosperity has ovor reached will be a hundred feet under what shall speedily be the full tide of commercial, agricultural, manufacturing, literature and moral success. In the name of God I proclaim revolution. Not by sword ordynamlto or nitre- glycerins or giant powder, but by plough end saw and yardstick and factory bands nail now lines of steamers and whole nations rising up to greet our nation in commercial amity. Our people for the most part sit in appalling ignor ance of an opportunity such as was never spread out before any nation since the morn ing stars sang togothcr. ???On the south, three S tes,??? yen, three tl * ??? ' em wide open. I have hod feels put beforo me, enough to keep a man awake night# because oftheir startling significance and statisics to loaded with meaning that they move with the tplen- dor and power of the iron Dako???s army at Walorloo??? Scotch Greys and the Lite Guards and Pick???s infantry and battalions of Ponton- by and Hyland, and the Datch Belgians, and Highlanders sounding their bagpipes. Ayet Ayet It is a bloodless Waterloo wnfeh will do- eido the commercial destiny of North and South America. The simple fact is that the vast realms of population in the tropics are buying from trana-Atlantic nations almost everything and from us almost nothing, and the (Ido ought to turn, and tho tide will turn, and I preach this tormon to help it turn. Your ears will tingle with tho Intensity of this rocital. In 1B80 five billion and threo hundred and sixty-nine million dollars worth of goods man ufactured in the United States and only two per cent taken by foreign companies. It is a marvel that American manufactories aro not - at dead as the proverbial door-nail. My only wonder is that nine-tenths of the manufactories have not gone into bankruptcy and ninoty-uino one-hundredths of tho faotory hands gone into starvation ortho alms house; and it will be worso if tbo battle is to go on between Lowell spindles here and Munches* ter spindles there???between foreign merchants who want t&rlflk down, and American mcr- chonts who want tariffs up. There is no ro ller for us in the markets of Europe, and will be nono till moons shall wax and wane 110 more. "Another door toward tho south. On the south three gates:??? This nation to-day it like a silly dry goods merchant' who stands behind the counter haggling with a small cus tomer about three yards ot tape, when there are at tho counter, impatiently waiting, three princesses wishing to purchase thoir bridal trousseaux. May God route this nation from its commercial idiocy I On theaeuth of us are regions nearly (hree limes nt large os the United States, whleh aro without manufactures, without woolen goods; without agricultural implements, without telegraphs, without telephones, without shoos, without sowing machines, without ten thou sand things that wo have and they mutt havo. Where shall they gotlhctn? They ore getting them from threo thousand miles away, and wc at tho next doer from them are baried un der n surplus of theso very things. Thoy are able to trade with- us for their sugars and coffees end spices and fruits and valuable woods wc need as much as they need our pro.- ducts. But look and then hang yoifr heads at tbo statemont that svhila our next door neigh bors, the southern republics and Brazil and nelghborlngcoluntcs import $475,000,000 worth of goods la a year, only $120,000,01)0 aro from the United States. Only one-fifth of tho trado is ours???European nations taking tho four fin gers and leaving us tho poor thumb. Tho sister republics on tho American continent hnve a foreign commerce amounting to $428,- 000,000, of which we havo only the feobie and paltry sum of $03,000,000. There It noth ing but a comparative ferry between this country and tbo West Indies, whilo there are raging teas ol long voytgos between them and other continents. Yet they Import $110,000,- 000 worth of goods a year, and only $31,000, - 000 come from us. Now, all this is going to bespeedily changed, and the change is going to be tbo solution of the labor question, and the bread'question, and the eommnnlst question, and the over- production-under-consumption question,' and almost every other question. It It going to set all the mills an the Merrimtc, and the Conneeticnt, and the Snsqnehanns, and the Chattahoochee running day and night with double seta of handt, ond calling for ten fac tories whero wa have one factory, and patting all tho men who aro now out of employment ??? 1 to change tUii rosperity which the Muslislppi loses its way to tbo Gulf of Mexico. Iam no more thankful for the past blessings of this country than I am thankfiil for thii opening opportunity in its height stupendous and in its width hemispheric. How will it be done? Among other things, by sach action as that which led our eongrssi to appropriate $1,300,000 to the Now Orleans exposition,'Mexico giving $200,000 and Now Orleans $300,000. That exposition, though preceded by the Sydenham Crystal palace, and the French, and the Vienna, and the Philadelphia expetitions, will be, fn far- reaching significance, more important than all of themjput together. They showed chief ly what badr been done. This exjioattlon of next month will build a platform on which the nations of the American continent shall some lor introduction to a new commercial epoch in the history of the ages. On that platform will come up Bolivia, Peru, Para guay .Uruguay, VenecueU, Salvador, Nicara gua, Colombia, Cotta Blca, Ecuador, Brazil and the brunette Vest Indies to meet the blonde tnd smiling United States. Hail mar riage day of north and south I While the pessi mists have bun hunting up the burial service to read at the death 01 American commreco were being pulled ous 1 r use ueia mnrea m Saul, I, an opti mist by nature and by grace, take up In an ticipation the bright covered wedding service, tnd as the blende north takes the brunette south by the hand, saying: ???With ell my worldly goods I thee endow,??? I cry ???whom God bath joined together, let not foreign des potism or American demagogcry ever put asunder. Than let til the organ and choirs and ercbestna make everything from the Montreal fee palace to the belle ol the Monte- zumet quake un-ler the rolling thunders of the grand march of North and South Araeri* can progress. This southern doer will be fastened open the more firmly by the tldee of travel diverted from Europe to the laud of the Aides. Much of the one hundred end six million dolien yearly expended by American in Europe will be expended in loutbern exploration, in look ing ettome of the mine of the forty-seven cities that Stevens, the traveler, found a 11UI0 way apart, tnd walking through fbe eomdora and under the arches and in the great door ways and over the miracles of Mosaie and alonj *- ??? - ??????*??? efvf Sg by the monumental glaries of another civilization, tnd ancient America will, with cold iipe or Stone, kite the warm lipa of modem America, and to have teen the Andeeen-1 the Popocatepetl will be deemedae importantn to have teen the Pjrenr nn and Balkan range#. So there will be fewer people spoilt by foreign travel end in our midst lees poor imitation of the French shrug and thaintentfonal hesitancy of the brainless swell. The feet is that there are mere people made foole of by KeropjM travel than any other, and though sensible when they embark they return with a collar tod a cravat and a shoe and a coat and a pro- nuneiatlsn and c eentec.pt for American iu- ttitutiers, and a berd of the elbow that make one believe in evolntion backward from man to ape. Ol tho thirty thousand Americans who now cross tho ara annually there will bo thousands who on pleasure and business visit the tropics, and at tourist and merchant and socialist and capitalist will all help in this national development. I wiah that somehow our next congress might take the $100,400,000 of surplus iu tho United State* treasury which the republicans did not stsal, and before the democrats get a chance to steal It, and in aorao way expend it in establishing new lines ot shipping between tbo ports of Forth and South America, and in dredging their harbors, and in building tele graphic wires, tnd in quickening all that g lorious consummation which is sure to come. o on, gentlemen, discussing your bightariS and low tarifl and horizontal tariff and uo tariff at all, until the question is r.s malodorous as (ho moss-bankers that tho Long Island fishermen throw on tho fioldi to enrich the forms. But meanwhile, God it going to pre pare for the rescue of tho millions of hard workingmen end women of this country, who have been hungry and cold long onongh, and this door of tho aonth open, is going to turn on them a summer of bright warm prosperity.
