WARFARE AGAINST THE EUH POWEE tSrCClAX. TELEGRAM TO Till DISPATCH.! Bbookltx, July 27. Dr. Talmage's ser mon to-day is devoted to tbe curse of intem perance. With the hand of a master he draws in rivid colors the appalling trage dies which this remorseless demon has per petrated. His text is Genesis zzzvii. 33: "It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath de Toured him." Joseph's brethren dipped tbelr brother's coat in coal's blood, and then brought the dabbled Carmect to their father, cheating him with tbe idea that a ferocious animal had slain him, and tins hiding their infamous behavior. Bat there is no deception about that which ire hold up to your observation to-day. A monster such as nnver ranged African thicket r fiindoostau jungle hath tracked this land, and with bloody maw hath strewn tbe continent with the man gled carcasses of whole generations; and tbere are tens of thousands of fathers and mothers who conld hold ud tbe rarment of their Main boy.truthfully exclaiming: "It is my son's coat; an evil Deasi nam aevourea mm.-- mere a in all ages and dimes, bean a tendency to the Improper nse of stimulants. Noah, as if dis trusted with theorevalenccof water in his time. took to strong arink. By this vice Alexander the conqueror was conquered, vine tunuis at their feasts fell off tbelr seats with intoxication. Pour hundred millions of our race are opium eaters. India, Turkey and Chiua have groaned with the desolation: and by it hare been quenched such lights as Halley and De Quincey. One hundred millions are the Tictims of the betelnnt. which has specially blasted tbe East Indies. Three hundred millions chew hashisn, and Persia. Brazil and Africa suffer tbe delir ium. The Tartars employ murowa: tbe Mexi cans, tne agave; tbe people at uuarapo, an in toxicating quality taken from sugar-cane, while a great multitude, that no man can num ber, are the disciples of alcohol. To it they bow. Under it they are trampled. In its trenches they fall. On its ghastly holocaust tbey burn. Could the muster roll of this great army be called, and tbey could come up from the dead, what eye could endure the reekinc, festering putrefaction and beastliness? What heart could endure tbe groan of agony? TTHAT IXTEMFERAJfCE DOES. Drunkenness: Does it not jingle the burglar's key? Does it not whet the assassin's knife? Does it not cock tbe highwayman's pistol? Does it not wave the incendiary's torch? Has it not sent the physician reeling into the sick room: and the minister with his tongue thick into the pulpit? Did not an exquisite poet, from the very top of his fame, fall a gibbering sot, into the gntter, on his way to be married to oneof the fairest daughters of New England, and at the very hour the bride was decking herself for the altar; and did be not die of de lirium tremens, almost unattended, in a hos pital? Tamerlane asked for 160,000 skulls with which to build a pyramid to his own honor. lie got the skulls, and built tho pyramid. But if tbe bones of all those who have fallen as a prey to dissipation could be piled up, it would make a Taster pyramid. Who will gird himself for the jonrney, and try with me to scale this mountain of the dead going up miles high on human carcasses to find still other peaks far above, mountain above mountain white with the bleached bones of drunkards? Tbe Sabbath has been sacrificed to the rum traffic To many of our people, the best day of the week is the worst. Bakers must keep tbelr shops closed on the Sabbath. It is dangerous to have loaves of bread going out on bunday. The shoestore is closed: severe penalty will attack tbe man who sells boots on the Sabbath, But down with the window shutters of tbe grogshops! Our laws shall confer particular honor upon the rum traffickers. All other trades must stand aide for these. Let our citi zens who bare disgraced themselves by trading in clothing and hosierv and hardware aud lum ber and coal take off their bats to the rum seller, elected to particular honor. It is unsafe for any other class of men to be allowed license for Sunday work. But swing out your signs, O ye traffickers in tbe peace of families, and in tbe souls of immortal men! Let the corks fly and the beer foam and the rum go tearing down the half-consumed throat of tbe inebriate. God does nut see! Does lie? Judgment will never cornel Will it? POLLY OF TAXING THE TEAFFIC. I do not know but that God is determined to let drunkenness triumph, and the husbands and sons of thousands of our best families be destroyed by this vice, in order that our people, amazed and indignant, may rise up and de mand the extermination of this mnnicipal crime. There is a way of driving down tbe hoops of a barrel so tight that tbey break. We have, in this country, at various times tried to regulate this evil by a tax on whisky. You might as well try to regulate tbe Asiatic cholera or tbe smallpoxby taxation. Tbe men who dis till liquors are, for the most part, unscrupulous and tbe higher the tax the more inducement to illicit distillation. Oh! the folly of trying to restrain an evil by government tariff! If every gallon of whisky made if every flask of wine produced, should be taxed a thousand dollars, it wonld not be enough to pay for the tears it has wrung from the eyes of widows and orphans, nor for tbe blood it has dashed on the Christian Cburcb, nor for tbe catastrophe of tbe millions it has destroyed forever. This foul thing gives one swing to its scythe, and our best merchants fall; their stores are sold and they sink into dishonored graver. Again it swings its scythe, and some of our best physicians fall into sufferings tbat their wisest prescriptions cannot cure. Again it swings its scythe, and ministers of tbe gospel fall from tbe heights of Zion, with long resounding crash of ruin and shame. Some of your own house holds have already been shaken. Perhaps yon can hardly admit it; but wbere was your son last night? Wbere was he Friday night? Wbere was ho Thursday night? Wednesday night? Tuesday nigbt? Monday night? Nay, have not some of yon in your own bodies felt tbe power of this habit? You think that you could stop? Are you sure you could? Uo on a little f nrther, and I am sure you cannot. I think if some of you should try to break away, you would find a chain on the right wrist and one on tbe left, one on the right foot and an other on the left This serpent does not begin to hurt until it has wound round and round. Then it begins to tighteu and strangle and crush until tne bones crack and tbe blood trickles and the eyes start from their sockets, and tbe mangled wretch cries, '0 God! O God! help! belp!" But it is too late; and not even tbe fires of woe can melt the chain when once it is fully fastened. WAEIT THE CHILDREN. I hare shown yon tbe evil beast. The ques tion is, Vho will hunt him down,and how shall ne shoot him? I answer. First, by getting our children right on this subject. Let them grow up with an utter aversion to strong drink. Take care how you administer it even as medi cine. If yon find that they have a natural love for it, as some bare, put in a glass of it some horrid stuff, and make it utterly nauseous. Teach them, as faithfully as you do tbe Bible, that rum is a fiend. Take them to the alms house, and show them tbe wreck and ruin it works. Walk with tbem into tbe homes tbat have been scourged by it. If a drunkard hath fallen into a ditch, take them right up where they can see bis face, bruised, savage, and swollen, and say, "Look, my Sun. Rum did that!" Looking out of your window at some one who. intoxicated to madness, goes through the street, brandishing his fist, blaspheming God, a bowling, defying, shouting, reeling, raving and foaming maniac, say to your son, "Look; that man was once a child like you.' As you go by the grogshop, let them know tbat itit is the place where men are slain, and their wives made paupers, and their children laves. Hold out to your children all warn ings, all rewards, all counsels, lest in after days tbey break jour heart and curse your gray hairs. A man laughed at my father for his scrupulous temperance principles, and said: "I as more liberal than you. I always give my children tbe sugar in the glass after we have been taking a drink." Three of his sons have died drunkards, and tbe fourth is imbecile' through intemperate habits. Again: We will battle this evil by voting only for sober men. How many men are there wbo can nse above the feelings of partisanship, and demand tbat our officials shall be sober men? I maintain tbat tbe question of sobriety is higher than the question of availability: and that, however eminent a man's services may be If be have habits of intoxication, he is unfit for any office in the gift of a Christian people. Our laws will be no better than the men who make them. Spend a few dajs at Harrisburg, or M- ta, bany. or Washington, and yon will find out iW-wby, upon these subjects, it is impossible to get righteous enactments. TEMPEBAXCE OBGAKIZATIOXS. Again: We, will war upon this evil by organ, feed societies. The friends of the rntn traffic have banded together; annually Issue their cir culars: raise fabnlons sums of money to ad vance their interests; and by grips, passwords, tlgry and stratagems, get at defiance public morals. Let ns confront tbem with organiia tions just as secret, and, if need be. with grips and passwords, and signs, maintain our posi tion. Tbere is no need that our philanthropic societies tell all their plans. I am in favor of all lawful strategy In the carrying on of this con flict. 1 wish to God we could lay under the wine caks a train which, once ignited, would shake tbe earth with the exploMou of this monstrous iniquity! , , Again: Wo will trv tbe power of the pledge. There are thousands of men who have been saved bv putting their names to such a docu ment. 1 know it is laughed at: but there are some men who, having once promised a thing, do it. "Some have broken the pledge." Yes: they were liars. But all men are not liars. I do not say that it is tbe duty of all persons to make such signature, but I do say that it would be the salvation of many of you. Tbe glorions work of Theobald Mathew can never be esti mated. At his hand four millions of people took the pledge, and multitudes in Ireland, England. Scotland and America have kept it till this da. The pledge signed to thousands has been the" proclamation of emancipation. Again: We expectgreat things from inebriate asylums. They have already done a glorious work. I think we are coming at last to treat inebriation as it onght to be troated. namely, as an awful disease, seH-inflicted, to be sure, qut nevertheless a disease. Once fastened npon a man, sermons won't cure bim: temperance lectures will riot eradicate It; religious tracts will not remove it; the gospel of Cbrnt will not arrest it. Once under the power of this awful thirst, the man is bound to go on: and, it tbe roaming glass were on the other Ide of perdl dition, he would wade through the fires of hell to get It. A young man in prison had such a strorg thirst for intoxicating liquors that he cut off his band at the wrist, called for a bowl of brandy In order to stop tbe bleeding, thrust his wrist into the bowl, and then drank the con tents. , THE DEMON OF DRINK. Stand not, when the thirst is on him, between a man and his cups. Clear the track for him. Away with the children; he wonld tread their Ufa out. Away with the wife; he would dash her to death. Away with the cross: he would run it down. A ay with the Bible: be would tear it up for the winds. Away with heaven: he considers It worthless as a straw. "Give me the drink? Give it to roe! Though the hands of blood pan np tbe bowl, and the soul trembles over the pit tbe drink! give it to mel Though it be pale with tears: though the froth of everlasting anguish float on the foam give it to mc! I drink to my wife's woe, to my chil dren's rags; to mv eternal banishment from God, and hope, and heaven! Give it to mel the drink!" ... Again: Wo will contend against these evils bv trying to persuade the respectable classes of society to the banishment of alcoholic bever ages: fYon who move in elegant and refined associations you who drink the best liquors, you who never drink until you lose your bal ance, let ns look each other in the face on this subject. You have, under God, in your power the redemption of this land from drunkenness Empty j our cellars and wine closets of the beverage, and then come out and give us your hand, your vote, your prayers, your sympathies. Do that, and 1 will promise three things: First, That you will find unspeakable happiness In having dose your dutv. Secondly, you will probably save somebody perhaps your own child. Thirdly, you will not. in your last hour, have a regret that you made the sacrifice, if sarrifico it be. ... As long as you make drinking respectable, drinking customs will prevail, and tbe Plow share of death, drawn by terrible disasters, will go on turning up this whole continent, from end to end, with tbe long, deep, awful furrow of drunkards' graves. Ohl how this rum fiend would like to go and hang up a skeleton in your beautiful bouse, so that, when you opened the front door to go in, you would see irin the hall; and, when you sat at your table you would see it hanging from the wall; and. when vou opened your bedroom, you would find it stretched npon your pillow; and. waking at night, you would feel its cold hand passing over your face and pinching at your heart. AN INSIDIOUS FOE. There is no home so beautiful but it may be devastated by tbe awful curse. It throws Its jargon into the sweetest harmony. What was it that silenced Sheridan, the English orator, and shattered tbe golden scepter with whicn be swayed parliaments and courts? What foul sprite turned the sweet rhythm of Robert Burns into a tuneless babble? What brought down the majestic form of one who awed the American Senate with his eloquence, and after a while carried him home dead drunk? What was it tbat swamped the noble spirit of one of the heroes of the last war, until, in a drunken fit, bo reeled from the deck of a Western steamer, and was drowned? There was one whose voice we all loved to hear. He was one of the most classic orators of the century. People wondered why a man of so pure a heart and so excellent a life should have such a sad countenance always. They knew not that his wife was a sot. I call upon those who are guilty or these in dulgences to quit the path of death. Ob! what a change it would make In your home! Do yon see how everything there is being desolated? Would you not like to bring back joy to your wife's heart, and have your children come out to meet you with as much confidence as once they showed? Would you not like to rekindle the home-lights that long ago were extin guished? It is not too late to change. It may not entirelv obliterate from your soul the memory ol wasted years and a ruined reputa tion, nor smooth out from your anxious brow the wrinkles which trouble has plowed. It may not call back unkind words uttered, or rough deeds done: for perhaps In those awful moments you struck her! It may not take trom your memory tbe bitter thoughts connected with some little grave. But it is not too late to save yourself and secure for God and your family tbe remainder of your fast-going life. But perhaps you have not utterly gone astray. I mav address one who may not have quite made'uphis mind. Let your better nature speak out. You take one side or the other in tbe war against drunkennes. Have you the courage to put your foot downright, and say to your companions and friends, "I will never drink Intoxicating liquor in all my life: nor will I countenance tbe habit in others?-' Have nothing to do with strong drink. It has turned the earth Into a place of skulls, and has stood opening the eate to a lost world to let in Its victims, until now the door swings no more upon Its binges but, day and night, stands wide open to let in the agonized procession of doomed men. THE OBIGISAL PACKAGE DECISION. Do I address one whose regular work in life is to administer to bis appetite? For God's sake get out of that business! It a woe be pronounced upon tho man who gives his neighbor drink, how many woes must be banging oTer the man who does this every day and every hour of the day! Do not think that because hnman gov ernment may license you that therefore God licenses von. I am surprised to hear yon men say that they respect the "original package" declBion, by which the Supreme Court of the United States allows rum to be taken into Btates like Kansas, which have decided against tbe sale of intoxicants. I have no respect for a wrong decision. I care not who makes it. The three judges of tbe Supreme Court who gave minority report against that decision were rio-ht. and tbe Chief Justice was wrong. The right of a State to defenditself against therum traffic will yet be demonstrated, the Supreme Court notwithstanding. Higher than the Judi cial Bench at Washington is the Throne of the Lord God Almighty. JJoenactment, national. State, or municipal can give you tbe right to carry on a business whose one effect is destrnc- God knows better than you do yourself the number of drinks you have poured oat. You keep a list, bnt a more accurate list has been kept than yours. You may call it Burgundy, Bourbon, cognac, Heidsleck. sour mash or beer. God calls it strong drink. Whether you sell it in low oyster cellar or behind the polished counter of a first-class hotel the divine curse is upon vou. I tell you plainly that you will meet your customers one day when there will be no counter between you. Whpn your work Is done on earth, and you enter the reward of your business, all tbe souls of the men whom you have destroyed will crowd around you and pour their bitterness into your cup. They will show you their wounds, and say: "You made them;" and point to tneir unquenchable thirst, and say, "You kindled it;" and rattle thMr chain, and say, "You forged it." Then their united groans will smite your ear; and-wlth the hands out of which you once picked tbe sixpences and tbe dimes, they will push you off the verge of great precipices; while rolling np from be neath, and breaking among the crags of death, will thunder: "Woe to him that giveth his neighbor drink!"

NO REMEDY FOR A GREAT WRONG. An ictire Demand for the Products of Garden and Field. " LEATHER AJv'D HIDES ARE TERI FIRM OFFICE OF FITTSBDBO DISPATCH. I Saturday. J uly 26. 1890. t The question of short Chicago weights came np for discussion at the meeting of the Grain Exchange to-day. Operators reported that their losses sometimes reached as high as 1,800 pounds on a single carload of grain by being forced to sell on Chicago certifi cstes. It seems that this matter has been before brought to tbe attention of the rail road companies, bnt no redress can be had. After some heated discussion, in which not a little IndignaUon found vent, it was unanimous ly concluded to do nothing. All seemed to be of the opinion that there was no remedy for the evil, and that dealers must hereafter as heretofore pay for large quantities of stuff they do not receive. Receipts of grain and bay have been lighter this week than last and markets have been strong with a general upward tendency, espe cially for corn and oats Latest crop statistics are, howeTer. more favorable as to corn and wheat and less favorable as to yield of oat". Through Western Pennsylvania and iastern Ohio reports indicate the lightest oats ciop for many years. A year ago at this time price was 25c per bushel and now 43c. with the probability of still higher prices in the near future. A straw indicating tbe direction of markets is the sharp advance of oatmeal during the week. iTOVlSlOns nave nui uocu o. -- .... as tbetwo previous weeks. Said a leading pork S acker to-day: "Our trade was better the first alf of July than it ever was in the same length. While it has cot held up quite so well the past week, there is still an active demand for our goods and July's record will exceed in volume any previous month." There has been no change in the price of pro visions. Fnrnt and Garden Product. Volume of trade in prodnce lines shows a decline from last week. A falling off Is looked for at this time of tbe year, on account of tbe many absentees at watering places. Market gardeners and produce dealers alike feel tbe effect of the summer flitting to the seashore and mountains. During tho week past tbere has been a sharp decline in Southern vege tables. Potatoes bave dropped from Si 50 to 3 60 per barrel, and are slow at the decline. Markets have been overstocked for several days with cantaloups and tomatoes, and prices have taken a downward turn. Watermelons are also plenty and lower. The berry supply has been short of demand all week and prices are"hlgher. Grapes are coming to take the place of ber ries. Apples are in better supply, and prices are lower. In the line of dairy products mar kets are little changed from last Saturday. There has been a good demand for all choice grades of creamery butter, and stock in tbe bands of jobbers is unusually light. With the ordinary demand the coming week it will be impossible to fill orders for high grades of creamery butter. Within the past lew days receipts of Western eggs have been very heavy,, and markets have weakeneu for all but nearby stock. Hides And Leather Firm. "The hide and leather business has not been on so Bound a basis for several years," said one of our leading dealers to-day. Prices and qual ity of bides have both Imnroved the past month. A year ago the hido market was very much de moralized. Prices declined to a lower level than bad been reached fora genera tion.For the past six months or more there has been a steady improvement In prices of hides and calf skins. The improvement has been gradual and trade is on a sound basis. Prices are still low as com pared with what they were ten years ago. It is within a decade when hides were sold at 16c per pound. At the late advance they are not more than one-half this figure. Demand for hides and calf skins is active, and prices are firm, with a tendency to higher rates. Said a leading dealer in hides to-day: "Our business is now entirely free from speculative influences, and all signs point to tbe fact tbat we are now on the ere of a healthy prosperity. I have seen times when there was more money in the trade, bnt the present condition of things is better than the times of big profits. Trade is now on a legitimate basis. There is not enou gh profit to call in speculators, and the regular dealers are doing comfortably well. Allegheny tanners report active demand for their products, and firm markets. Stock is moving out as fast as it is finished. Ordinarily at this time of the year leatheraccuroulates in the bands of tbe tanner. This season proves an exception to tbe rule. In the past two years the harness leather tanners of Allegheny have Increased their capacity fully 25 per cent, and still tbere is a demand for all produced. The outlook for a big fall trade Is all that could be desired. While margins of profit are narrow volume of business will be large, and the trade has not been m as healthy acondition for many years.

Business and Prlco Chonges for tbe Week A Belter Tone. The stock market Saturday was up to tbe average of the week in activity and somewhat stronger in tone. Bidders were plentiful and rather urgent, and sellers were comparatively few and disposed to maintain their waiting at titude. It looks as if tbe current was setting their way. Sales were 240 shares, besides 405 electric rights. Electric and Philadelphia Gas were tbe only active properties. As compared with tbe closing prices of tbe previous week nearly tbe entire list was higher. Citizens' Traction scored an advance of S3 60 per share, Electric abont t2 and Switch and Signal SI 75. Philadelphia Gas and Pleasant Valley also made considerable gains. Pitts burg Traction was among the few tbings tbat lost ground. Sales for the week were 1,277 shares, of which Electric furnished 615 and Philadelphia Gas 197. bales were 140 shares ot Electric at 39. 10 Philadelphia Gas at SOU. and 40 at 30. After call 50 Philadelphia Gas changed bands at 30. Electric lights were traded in to tbe extend of 405 shares at the uniform price of 25c. M0NETAEY MOVEMENTS. Smooth and Easy Sailing, With Continued Gain Over Lust Year. The money market wag easy during the week, the supply of funds being abundant. Most of tbe loans, for which tbere was a fair inquiry, were at 6 per cent. There was very little shad ing either way. Although money is well em ployed for the season, there is consider able of it stored away to meet the full demand. The condition of trade is beat shown in tbe Clearing House report, which shows tbat tbe bank clearings last week were $3,000,000 greater than those for the same period a year ago. Thli represents solid business! speculation contribut ing so little as not to be worth mentioning.

MARKETSM WIEE. Another Exciting Day In the Chlcnso Grnln Pit Everything on tbe Jnnin Hog Product! Cnich the Bullish In fectlon Heavy Trading. CHICAGO Wheat A large business was transacted and tbe feeling developed was nervous and unsettled. Prices changed very frequently and rapidly, anil ruled higher than the closing fignres of yesterday. Tho opening was Kc higher than yesterday, and prices advanced a more, then declined IWc under an increased pressure to sell, rallied lc, fluctuated somewhat and closed about a higher than yesterday. There was no doubt considerable realizing on the part of longs, and shorts were frightened and covered freely on the advance. Some advices were received claiming that foreigners woro selling at New York. From tbe Northwest advices were received reporting very hot, dry weather. Corn There was another large day's busi ness transacted in this market, and the feeling developed was but a combination of that pre vailing for tbe past few days, and a still fur ther advance wa established on all futures. The influences on the market were about the same as noted for some time past, namely, the continued dry weather and bad crop reports, small receipts and good shipping demand. Trading was immense, ou'slde orders Being numerous and chiefly buying, and local de mand was quite general, both from shorts and investment. Offerings during tbe early part of the session were small, but after the advance tbere was free realizing by local longt, but offerings were well absorbed and tbe market acted very strong. Tbe signal service renorted no rain of consequence in tbe corn belt, and there was no Indication of any, but the weather was reported as cool. Tbe West bought freely to-day,a8 also New York and the Ei it. Local re ceipts were less than anticipated 370 cars, and fpr Monday 535 cars are expected. A good cash demand continned to prevail notwith standing the late tbarp advance.thuugb the in quiry was less brisk to day. Hog Products The market attracted more than usual attention to-day and speculative trading was quite active. Influenced by tbe firmness In the corn market, the feeling was decidedly strong, and a substantial advance In prices was gained and well maintained on all de scriptions of products. Shorts were anxious to provide for their outstanding contracts, especi ally for January delivery, aud the orders from outside parties were more liberal than hereto fore, and largely on tbe purchasing side of the market. Sellers were somewhat cantlous In naming prices, and in many cases tbe property was readily accepted when offered at what was regarded as extreme figures. Fluctuations were quite wide, and trading on behalf of out side parties was rather unsatisfactory. Trading was mainly In September, October and January contracts, the latter attracting more attention than usual and the trading the heaviest so far this season. Oats were active and stronger and prices generally higher in sympathy with corn. There was a larger general trade in September and the more deferred futures, but operators were disposed to let July and Angust alone: tbe first named month, however, was easier, due to tbe light demand and decline In the cash market. This also affected August to a moderate extent, but prices advanced lc. Tbe other deliveries were tbe favorites, and prices advanced lc, re ceded Kc, again became firmer, and the close was steady at about outside figures. Tbe sentiment generally was bullish, but news from tbe outside scarce. There were plenty of good buying orders however, which had a good effect on values.
