Answer to Rev. J P. Do Long. ,
There is so much of undignified per- J
sonality in He*. I>eLong's last reply, j
that I am almost at a loss to know v
where to find anything in it worthy of ,
an answer. Hut lest my silence might |
he misconstrued into an endorsement ,
of his late article I feel called upon to
reply. 1. In regard to my ,
knowledge of Mr. PeLong's address at ,
Centre Hull hoing unwritten, I want to r
say that I thought the address prepared, ,
ns Mr. PeLong prepares almost all his ,
public efforts, namely, in writing. „
Therefore, with that impression I could ■
certainly call for its publication. I ,
most emphatically disclaim any trick |
in this matter. t
With reference to the "garbled"' |UO- j
tations from Kontlin, Mr. DeLong j
'•wastes" many words. My charge wa* (
simply that the quotation was not com .
plete, and he acknowledges the charge i )
oy completing it. As to the difference ;,
between the "garbled" and full quota j,
tion. I leae the intelligent reader to !
judge. I demanded a fair quotation in j ,
connection with the clni*e immediately I
following it, and for this I am called a
"wilful and malicious slanderer." I
3. In reply to the statement that I !
do not accept Dr. Geo. P. Fisher au- I .
thority when quoted by Rev. DcLong, j.
although I used him (Dr. Fisher) as au- !.
thority on Luther agin-t him(De Long,) 1 .
1 have on'y this to say : I did not use j
Pr. Fisher's name to establish or j
s-trengthen a doctrinal position on
either side, whilst Mr. D>-Longdi<l. For
this reason I said Mr. PeLong nay. in
his use of this authority; and if he
thinl-s it egotism for a village preacher j
to say that he knows l-tter what Loth
oranism is than does pr. Fisher who is !
not a Lutheran, he is welcome to so j
think.
4. As to the Marburg articles, which I
1 claim to have been the basis or root of ,
the Augsburg Confession, and the fact
of Zwingli'* signing the Augsburg ton- !
ession, the article on the lord's Sup-j
er excepted, all this I sufficiently ex
lained in my reply to "8. M. H." in the j
ffxrrtrr. This matter is is one of the j
gravest facts of history" and has noth- I
ing whatever to do with Mr. Delxmg'*
memorial address, save s I ued it in it*
projer relation.
.*) Mr. Peljong says that on my quota
tion* from Pr. Luthardt* (the best kind
of Lutheran authority) he can waste
but little space. The reader of the
Democrat will see that he "rej.ented
afterwards" and waste<| not a little.
He claims that tny quotation* nre ob
scure and that one might "think them
selected for an entirely different pur
pose." Here again, I will rest tny case
on the intelligence of the unbiased
reider, and will abide by the decision.
Mr. Dels >ng sees no "light" in my quo- |
tations, and I fear it isonlv another illus
tration of the o!d truth, that "None is
so blind a he that will not ee."
To establish the charge of predentin
ntion against Luther, Mr. PeLong again
falls back on Koestlin. This charge of
predestination strike* til- a* strange
thing from Mr. DeLnng, I found fault
with it from the first, because of its of
fensive boldness and unfairness. It
would be just as fair to charge Luther
with being a Roman < atholic or a Monk,
etc. He was these, but did he remain
them? He was a close student of Au
gustine, but he noon found him unsafe
end abandoned him. In hi* De Servo
Arbitrio, Luther desired to have these
hard sounding doctrine* made public,
but warned against attempts to scrutin
i*e the hidden will of Ood, and urged
implicit trust in his revealed Word."
This from Koestlin a.* in the Schaff
Horxog f'vclopjedia of Religion* Knowl
edge. Vol" ii p. I.TV 6. On the whole
•question. I only ask the reader to rend
nil of Koeslin. and he will find him per
fectly consistent. A* regard* the ap
pointment of a committee to examine
into the "correctness and truth" of Mr.
DeLong'* quotations, I would say that it
i needless, a* the public can do ail that
and Mr. DeLong. ' my suggestion, will
assist, a* he has done. But Mr. Deling
insist* on the Kinaleald article* teaching
predestination. Having never read
them for himself, (* I must conclude,)
he quote* Pr*. Sohaff, Domor and one
third of the Lutheran church of Amer
ica a* saying that the Smaleahl Article*
do o teach. Now it would be we'l for
Mr. IeLong to follow the advice of
•fudge Orris, or more accurately, hi
statement to a friend. He said h<- tier
er made a statement, in court which he
could not back up. As it hnppcn* in
* this case. Schaff i* no safe guide, Porner
j* no out and out Lutheran, and Wnlih
er acknowledges hi* pri-destination
, view* to b t'glvinistic and not Luth
eran, To establih the ln*l |mint. I re
fer him to the April number of Vol. xl,
"IHHI of the Lutheran Toe*

HP "ln a recent work on the 11
"reeds'of Christrnd in * * * among >■'
itlier ungraoiou* thing* said of the y
Lutherans, the stale charge of man wor- '
<hip is again iii*inuated against us." v
'The towering grcatsvss of Luther," is '
there put forward as the particular fly in "
the ointment of our sancity. We may '
be excused for remanding it to its '■
,nurce as a particular falsehood. '
Whether the enunclutor of the truth 1
lie a saint or sinner, great or small, that ,;
truth we must acknowledge. Mere per
sons, or the worth and <-r-lit of men,
tire nothing to the obligations of truth. \
For this reason we would be bound to 1
acknowledge Luther as a witness, were
he a score of times greater or less than '
he was. (Sold is gold, whether on the t
finger of the king, or on the neck of a 1
harlot,and the truth 1* the truth, equally 1
divine and binding whoever speaks it. ■
We are liotind to confess it, fully and '
without stint, even with a Martin I.utli- '
er. though his "tow.-ring greatness" 1- '
"a misfortune" and "a constant tetnpta- '
tion to hero worship.'' But we are
not quite ready to admit that "Ood, in I
ordering llis Providence concerning '
His church, made a grand mistake, in 1
not availing Himself of the wisdom ot 1
certain Reformed theologians. And
as Mr. PeLong unvoted the question ol
transuhstantintion concerning Luther - 1
view of the Lord's Supper, I will again | |
quote SCUM from the sain<- paper above
referred to. It will further show how
reliable nn authority Pr. Sclnijl is ..ii , '
Lutheran lam. Bain My* ; w tten we
(Lutherans) speak of the Word as an
earthly vehicle or medium in and |
through which tin- Saviour communi
cate* Himself and ,His salvation, there
i* no difficulty in understanding u: but
when we say the same thing of the
corresponding "Visible Word of the
Lord's Supper—people exclaim in le.r
ror—"Transubs tan tuition' —onstib- i
stantiation"-or sonn other abomination,
which our confession* distinctly reject
and condemn, and all our theologians
repudiate. The old lie of the Nacram
entarian controversialists, sooft.-ii refut
e<l and e.\j>oe<|, which charges the mon
strosity of con*ub*tnntiation upon our
invulnerable doctrine of the Holy Lit
charjst, we had hoped was effectually
buried, never to appear again in any nu i
tlior worthy of respect, but alft* ' 1 find
it resureeted and again put f.'rtfi in the
recent volume* on the ''re- d- oft hrist ;
endom, to the great discredit of tlu-ir
author, who certainly ought t" know j
better, if he doe* not." Pr. Schaff. lie it
remembered, is the author <>f the )
freed* of Christendom, you see, Mr. \
DeLong, that 1 have most excellent
company in my "Literary crime, of j
saving that Schaff "twists. And
while on this iMtint, I will quote the fol
lowing from "Koestlin life of Luther, p
lIV. "He (Luther) himself was still
'•compelled to correct sotne misrej.re
"sentntinn* of hi* doetrine, and lie did
"thi* calmly ; he said that he had ne\

Mr. Pel/mg will not dare insist that !■••
I Porner) is a gno<l Lutheran to quote in
this connection.
i. I charge Rev. DeLong with hating
-aid in hi* memorial address that "Lu
therans had largely com to Zwmglf -
view of the Lord's Supper." He denies
this (though I have hi* statement in
writing) and *<>•* that Ret s.froh, A ear*
ick and Rrx>i|er are with him ill hi* de
nial. it be observed, with all due
respect for these bretheren, that I can
get a iloicn at lea*t (and some of thein
no church memfe-r* at all i who sustain
me in my charge to the address. And
I ran assure Rev. lads.ng that my j*-o
pla want none of bi* sympathy. Ihev
are well with the inahner and
spirit in which I have thu* far "set th<'in
right."
7. By refering to my charges, a* stated
in the FRXTRT PXXOCRAT by me, the
reader will see that Mr. Pel.ong admits
at least Jfot of them, and that i* about
all of them. And thu* my general
charge of belittling Luther stands. I
need only ask the reader to notice the
contradictory ulterauce* under Mr. De
Long's sth snd fith head* in his sum
ming up hi* reply. He make* a denial
of what I charged upon Zwinli, in re
gard to the Kternal Flection of certain
heathen, and then almost in tl.e same
breath admits it. Who were nobler
heathen than Socrates, etc?
8. On the matter of Luther's refusing
the hand of Zwingli st Marburg, in ad
dition to what I nave already said by
way of jutifring I.uther in that act,
let me yet add a quotation from Dr.
Krauth, (recently deceased), but at the
time of his writing it, Norton professor
of Systematic Theology and helesiasti
cal Polity in the Ev. Luth Theological
Seminary at Philadelphia. He says:
"The disturbing and radical element in
the Reformation prepared the way for
the later laxUyandthe unionism which
attended it. The tendency which was
represented in Carl-ladt and Ocolampa
dins, and most energetically and con
sMtcnlly in Zwingli, gave an early im
pulee in this direction. This it did not
simply in sett ng forth the great error
which originated the divisions in the
Protestant Reformation, but by the
levity with which it regarded th whole
matter of division. A division which
meant the ren ting of the Reformation,
it* confusion before its enemies, and the
periling of its existence, was regarded
as a something which must be held at
every cost, and yet, whose guilt could
not lie condoned by the shedding of
a few team, the offer of a hand, • * *"
Luther saved the Reformation by with
holding the hand,whose grasp would have
meant recognition of fundamental error,
either a* in unify with faith, or a* too •]
little n thing to oe weight <l. *
There i* no consUtenoy in blaming him
in hi* relation to the latter (the /.win .
gliuti tendencies) while we prai*o him
lor hi* attitude to the former (Borne).
It would have been n tuirreuder of the
vital prinriple hy Jwhich the Iteforina- f
tion itself stund* or full*—the authority
and clearness ot the word. * * I
Zwingli himself being judge, then- iva, t
not the fraternity of a common faith, t
The conflicting mode* of interpretation J(
involved in fact the whole revelutution
of tiod."
1 will HIHO quote on this point Rev. S. j
A. Bepa**, I>. !>., Frofessor of Svntenmt ,
ic and Practical Theology in the S.-tn- (
inary of the Ev. Luth. church at Salem,
Va. "But of error in all it* form* Lit- '
ther wa* the uncompromising opponent, 1
the enemy no Ic** of a false Protestant- ,
i*in, than of the Papacy, standing ujion
the Word of tiod, and in the COII*CIOU* '
attitude of one made free in the liberty <
of Christ, ho wa* a* the defender of ,
truth the acknowledged antagonist of
error in all its forms; divine truth was
not with him a matter of human opin
ion, or caprice, hut of personal faith and I
per-onal experience. A* the truth ,
which lie accepted and defended was of
tiod he could make no comprom
ise either with Itonie, lienova '
or Zurich. Whether at Worm* i
against the Anabaptist fanatic* <
or at Marburg agdn*t ZwingP, Luther |
could not, or dared not, compromise or
linrter away the truth for a fal*e peace.
What he held so tenaciously was not hi*
own. Had he heen animated by human
ambition, or hy mere opposition to
Home, he might and would have made j
alliances with many of the Reformatory j
movements ami revolutions of that age
Hut what God had declared in hi* word
could not he changed or rendered a mat ;
tor of indifference by mere haud-shak \
ing between him and Zwingli," And
now, Mr. Editor, 1 shall not ask you for ]
any more of your valuable apace in llii* j
discussion. I u*k the reader of your paper
to calmly review tin- whole controversy.
I dare not take my time from other

discussion of tlii* subject, ami especially
when I see that the honest presentation
of the truth in my endeavors toenlight- |

to "fa-cloud his vi*inn," and render him j

The Morrteon Tariff Bill.

The two chief reductions are in sugar
and woolen fabrics. The twenty per
cent, horisontal reduction in the sugar
duties will reduce taxation about s*,-
500,000 and leave still a protection of
forty-one per i*nt. The reduction of
twenty percent, on woolens may reduce
taxation about $.'>.000,000. In connection
with this schedule there i* a proviso
that none of the article* shall pay a
higher rate OR duty than sixty per cent.
I suppose the consumer* will have little
sympathy with a protection monopoly
that can find something to grumble at
in such a maximum. And yet, this
proviso ia very important when we con
sider that a number of articles in the
woolen schedule arc paying now e ghty,
ninety and 100 per cent. duty. The
cetten schedule has been reduced to a
maximum of forty per cent., and in
connection with the horiiontal reduc
tion of twenty per cent, on existing
rates there will be a reduction of about
sl,fioo,ooo.
There will lie a reduction of about $4,
000,000 in the metal schedule and a
maximum of .'tOper cent., about $1,250,-
000 in the chemical schedule, about $l,.
000,000 in the earthenware and glass
SCHEDULE and about $1,000,000 in the
hemn *u'd schedule.
There M. l ' ** * reduction of $1,200,-
000 in the schedule, about
$2,000,000 in the provision schedule,
$300,000 in the wood I*- N '' woodenware
schedule, aliout $250,000 til TL"
paper schedule and about $2,500,00" in
the *undries Bchedule. Thus a total
reduction of taxes of about $28,600,000
can be relied upon by the horixontal
reduction, which, with the abolition of
taxes on the additional good* on the
free Ht, will *wall the sura total to
about $30,000,000. It remain* to be seen
how many tax payer* and consumer*
there will be found to resint this moder
ate reduction in our tariff" system.

Take the Star Route fraud* a.* an
example. The vast majority of the pcto
pie of the United State* are convinced
that many million* of dollar* are stolen
by a combination of mail contractors
and officials. They witnessed an
attempt to bring the guilty partie* to
justice. The exposition of tho frauds
mode it clear beyond possibility of a
doubt that there were groups of con
tractor*, numbering in all more than a
baker's dozen of individuals. After a
year's preparation, with all tho resource*
of the government supposed to beat the
command of the officers of justice, only
one of the smallest of these different
groups was brought to the criminal bar.
More than a year was consumed in the
trial of this group, during which the
government disbursed in lawyer's fees
alone more than two thirds as much as
the compilation w-r<- alleged to have
stolen. I-ong before the trials were J
concluded it w* apparent to every in- j
teliigent man, woman, and child in the I
country that the *o called prosecution j
wa* farcical, and the ncquittal of the
accused woa not unexpected. In a public
add rens the attorney general declared

treasury by the*e band* of plunderers, j
; and two years have since elapsed with
