Lnst hu miner while I was In Hut ope,
writes William K. Curtis In the Chliti
Ko Jiecord, I received a Jotter from Mr.
tier go U. llrynn, of CltlcnRO. iinklm?
meto secure Information that would
ermine a comparison 10 do mime ju
tween the pauperism of free trade KiiK
lund and protected America, and I
ppent consldcralile time In neeurlnR sta
tistics and obtaining the opInioiiK of
men whoso Knowledge and experience
authorized them to speak upon this
subject. I did not ko to the politicians,
hut to the philanthropists, and to the
leaders of the labor unions. The almost
Invariable answer to the question was
that pauperism In Great Uritain was
duo to drink rather than to low wag
es or any other cause. John Hums,
Kclr Jlnrdlc and other labor agitators
were quite ns positive as the olllclals
of the temperance and benevolent so
cieties, nnd the universal testimony
was that there was enough labor of
fered And sufficient wages paid by the
industries of Great Urltnln to afford
every member of the population a good
living If they would expend their money
for the necessaries of life Instead ot
In Its vices. Of course a grent many
people, infirm of mind and body, nro
a charge upon the public, but these ore
only a small percentage of the great
total requlrlnjjrellef from poverty and
distress.
somf: comparisons.
John Hums, who Is. perhaps, the best
authority upon such subjects among
nil the labor leaders of Europe, told me
that wh'lle the average w.iges ot all the
working people in Great lirltaln was
only about two-llfths of the average
paid In the t'nlted States, and the dif
ference In the cost of living v. as about
the same, the amount of money spent
for liquor wns very much larger. Meats
and som" otb 'r forms of food are more
expensive In Great ltntaln than in tlio
l'nlted States, but rents are cheaper,
nnd tho working people aio not accus
tomed to such a lavish diet os those of
the Mine cUms in the United States.
The same quality of wearing apparel
sells for about the same price In both
countries except the liner fabrics,
which are much higher on this side ot
the water because of the duties impos
ed by our tnrlff laws, but the Anieii
rau workman and his wifo and daugh
ters would not be willing to wear tho
garments that are commonly worn by
the laboring classes of Great Britain.
N'or will they llv. la the Fame way.
The standard of living and the stand
ard of morals, comforts, culture and
Intelligence ar much higher here than
In England. There is a higher degiee
of self-respect and ambition.
The recent poiihiu if England shown
that 870 families live In single rooms
without windows, and that of a total
of 874,000 families of two persons or
more St&.CuG,' or rather more than three-
llfths live in either one or two rooms.,
Of the remaining :13S,441 families, 143,
"MS live In three room?. CJ.'SD in four
rooms, itri,C2S In five rooms, 2",(i":! In r'x
rooms, 10. 12 in seven rooms, 1:5,07" in
eight rooms, -.r,m in nine rooms. 7,3B3
in ten rooms, 14,29.1 In houses lnin--?
eleven from fifteen rooms, and i,c on.
Tho same statist I'-s show that nearly
12 per cent, of the "iitlre population of
Great Hrltaln is living with more than
two persons In a room, the actual fig
ures being 3.26R.04I. Of the population
of London K20.1S2 are living with more
than two persons in a room.
This extraordinary condition Is due
more to tradition and custom than to
the tariff. It Is an almost universal
rule in Great lirltaln for children not
only to follow the trades of their par
ents, not to accept the same wages,
live In the same rooms and in the same
way. Dr. Joseph Parker told ni that
he knew of members of his church
the famous City Temple and they
were Christian people, who live five In
a room, in London 1.16 per c-nt. of
tho population lives four In a room.
DRINK THE CAUSE.
Trade unions, technical schools and
benevolent societies have done much
to elevate the condition of the labor
ing population, but it is still much
lower than in the United States and
in many places descends to degrada
tion. I asked John Hums what was
tho greatest cause of poverty In Eng
land. 'Drink," was his laconic reply.
"What Is the greatest obstacle to
tho advancement of the working
classes?"
"Drink," ho said again.
"What Is the reahon that the wink

Wool Smyrna Carpet Rugs, 9x12 and smaller sixes.

"Drink," he again ejaculated.
"What Is tho greatest Incentive to
crime nnd vice amonfj the working
people?"
"Drink."
"Im there any hope for tho eleva
tion of tho working classes ot your
country to the same standard as those
In the United States?" I asked.
"Not as long us .there Is a public
house nt evfry cross-roads In Great
lirltaln," ho replied.
"Tho liberal exlo law Is the parent
of paupeilsm In Great Urltnln," said
Dr. Joseph Parker. 'Tree trade and
taxes havo nothing to do with It. Taxes
nie high, of course, nnd many people
complain of them, but no man can
Justlly object to paying 1 per cent, or
a per cent, or 10 per cent, of his earn
ings to the support of the government
so long ns 'he spends 20 per cent, for
liquor."
LIQUOR STATISTICS.
In 1S70 tho consumption of beer in
England averaged 27.09 gallons per
capita. In 1890 the av rage was 2!).im
gallons. In 1S70 the annual average
consumption of spirituous liquors vir.
1.01 gallons per capita. In 1S90 U was
a little lesw than one gallon per capita.
There aro in Grout Hrltaln today 8,
7S5 brewerlo., 177 dlstllleiles, 249 recti
fiers and 12.CG0 "vlctualers" who nre
licensed to sell all kinds of drinks.
In nddition to these thero nro 10.10S
plnces licensed to sell malt liquors only,
a total of 2S.7GS saloons for a popula
tion of .19,500,000. Hut that does not
compare with tho number In the United
States. Last year the number of sa
loons licensed to sell liquors by retnll
In this country was 201,294. nnd to sell
malt liquors 10.0.12 saloons to a popu
lation of about 3,r,00,000. In Chicago
thero are 11,499 pernons licensed by the
government to sell liquor. While our
drink bill Is smaller In proportion, tho
number of saloons Is much larger In
this country than In Great Hrltaln.
PAUPERISM DECREASING.
Pauperism Is deernslng In England.
This is duo to education and benevol
ence, to free schools, free laundilcs,
fico baths. Improved tenement houses
nnd other enterprises for tho better
ment of the condition of the working
people.
In 1S49, when the census of Great
Hrltaln showed a population of 27.669.
T71 souls, thero were 9.11,419 paupers
more than one to every twenty-eight
of the population. In ISO;!, the high
tide of P.rittsh poverty, there were ,
142,021 paupeiH to a population of 29,
(!257S. In ISM), when the population
Increased to I! I. "00,000, the paupers were
i educed to soo.nno, and ever .since then
the population hn.i been going up and
pauperism lias ueen going uown, until,
In 1S00, out of n total of .19,105,720 per
sons In tho united kingdom, 7S:i.rrl
weru dependent upon the public for
suppoit.
In London In l.S7., with a population
of .I.S'jS.&ri'i, there were lOS.S-Q paupers.
In 1MW, in a population of 4,3I9,1C0, there
were 113.012 persons dependent upon
the public for support. The average
number of paupers In the city of Lon
don for the last twenty years has been
102,733, and the nverage cost of sup
poitlug them has been J.M23.C00 a year.
TEMPERANCE PROGRESS.
Robert Ilea, secretary of tho Nation
al Temperance league of Great Hrltaln,
in answer to my questions said: "So
far as the general condition ot Groat
Hrltaln Is concerned, we aie no doubt
making gradual Improvement. As the
moral sentiment ot the community ad
vances and education teaches the peo
ple that they aro better off without
drink there Is less Intemperance. It is
very likely also that there Is less ex
cessive drinking than formerly; there
are fewer cases of alcoholism in the
hospitals. Drunken men nro not so
frequently seen in the streets, and In
the houses of the rich hospitality now
stops short of inclination. It is not
good form for a gentleman to get
drunk any inor. Yeais ago It was not
considered dlsieputable for a guest at
a dinner party to roll oft his chair un
der the table. ' Such a thing today
would appall polite people.
"Those who keep the statistics claim
there lias been a vast advance in the
number of total abstainers. It was
C.ono.Oiiii a few years ago and is now
7.000,000. and some say S.000,000, among
a population, of 39.000,000 or 4ii.000.000 In
the united kingdom.

Sunday School Lesson for November 21.
THE CHRISTIAN ARMOR,
Eph. VI, 'J 1-20.
BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
INTRODUCTION. Tho Christian life Is
ono of tperpotuul conflict. Whatever may
bo tlio excellence of his character or tno
purity of his motived the disciple will
be constantly exposed to tho temptation.
To resist nnd ovcrcomo Is tho ono condi
tion of personal Integrity and ot final
reward (Rev. xxl 7). Wisdom dictates
that ho should bo constantly prepared for
any danger. Not tho least of nil tho at
tractive features of sacred Scriptures Is
this, that ugalu and utraln. Instruction is
given In language that nono can misun
derstand, bulled to every emergency of
the religious life. Uttered by men of
largo experience In tho world's affairs,
who weru also Illumined and guided by
tho Holy Spirit, these advices merit tho
irest studious considerations of nil who
would live righteously. If nny ono goes
astray It will not bo for lack of warning.
Today we shall learn from Paul on this
subject.
KTR12NGTH Wo begin with n command.
(Verso 10). The apostle lays upon his
hearers an obligation It Is not merely
their privilege, but their duty to be strong.
Weakness courts attack and prepares for
defeat. Dut tho strength Is not tliot of
resolution alone, such as the Philistines
urged (1 Bam. iv 9), and David com
manded (1 JClngs II, 3), although that Is
not to be despised, but desired. (Is.i.
nxxv. 4). Thero is a strength greater
than that of the most resolute will, which
Is derived from God. Paul urged Tim
othy to seek It (II Tim. II, 1), and de
clared that ho himself had been thus
strengthened (II Tim. Iv, U), and that ho
had been by this strength enabled to do
all things. (Phil. Iv, 13;. Hu even affirms
that this imparted strength is obtained
when he realized ihis weakness. (II Cor,
xil, 9-10). What folly then for any fol
lower of Christ to remain In an enfeebled
condition, unprepared for a struggle.
KN'BMY,-Theru are some who profess
to believe that thero Is no personal dell,
although tho Scriptures assume his ex
istence nt.d describe his character ami
work. He Is represented as a ferocious
beast, moving among men for their de
struction (I Peter v, 8), as even attempt
ing to reduce the Lord Jesus. (Matt. Iv,
0). St. Paul would have his heareis know
that this enemy of human kind Is cun
ning (Gen. Ill, 1), and that they must be
able to withstand his wile. 'Verse 11).
Fiirthermote, this arch fiend litis many
subordinates 111 league with him, con
stituting a kingdom of darkness (verso
12), whose machinations imperil tho s-alnts.
Holy men are not called merely to wrestle
with llcsh and blocd, that Is, embodied
and vlslblo spirits, but with unseen forces
that may without warning precipitate
their destructive inlluence. This fact
makes Divine strength essential.
ASSAULT. Tho apostle now passes
over into flguratlvo languuge, using mili
tary terms to convey his meaning. Ho
speaks of an evil day (verse 13), a tlmo
urJhual prosperity lit Great Brltian
during the last few years.
"It Is nlso true that ns more wom
en enter the ranks of wnge-earnors
those who are physically weak to the
inclination to fortify themselves
against the strain of bodily labor by
the use of stimulants. There is a
groat deal more drinking nmong wom
en in England than in tlio United
States. In our country women go
openly into tho saloons as men do nnd
call for drinks over the bar. I under
stand that Is not customary in the
United States.
BIIITAIN'S GROG HILT..
"The average individual consump
tion In ISS1 was 7.97 gallons of beer
per capita, .43 gallons of wine and
1,06 gallons of spirits. In 1SS4, which
was a bail year for trade, the con
sumption was L'9,47 gallons of beer, .30
gallons of wlno and .97 gallons of
spirits per cnpltn. In 1SS3, which was
prosperous, the consumption was 29.
U.'i gallons tit beer, .37 gallons of wine
and 1.00 gallons of spirits per capita,
which shows that there has been nn
Increase In' the consumption of beer
and a decrease in that of stronger
liquors.
"In 1S81 the liquor bill of Great Brit
ain nmounted to $C93, 09, 140 or $17.
S7 per capita. Of this $42S,."G3,73.- wns
spent for beer. In 1S93 there was nn
increase of $1S,000,000, which brought
the totnl up to $712,074,030, or an aver
ago of $18,18 per capltu,
"There has been a decrease In the
number of breweries In Great Brit
Inn from 13,774 In 1SS1 to 8,783 In 1SSC,
but that Is duo to the consolidation
of business In the control of large com
panies. During the same time there
has been an Increase In the manufac
ture of beer from 27,111,400 barrels In
1SS1 to 33,820,331 barrels in 1S90. There
has nlso been a decrease In the num
ber of licenses granted, which is duo
to the tendency to shut up small shops
and Increase the trade of tho larger
ones.
"The temperance statisticians figure
that since 1SC0 there has been the fol
lowing; Increase in Great Brltlan:

when tho enemy assaults the soul, as an
army might como stealthily upon a fort
ress, proposing to toko It by storm. Ev
ery person hns experiences ot this sort.
Perhaps for many dnys nothing occuis to
awaken nny apprehensions of trouble,
when, suddenly, without a moment's
warning, trumemloUB forces for evil aro
hurled against the man. How many havo
gono down under such onsets of tho ad
versary. Paul would have tho Christian
constantly ready for thce occasions. Al
though strong In the power of God, us
previously advised, ho should have un ar
mor, Uiat which placed upon the exterior
of tho person, will be a complete protec
tion. Tho strong man nrmcil may stand
In the fight, and at the end may win.
(Rom. vlll, 37).
DEFENS.E The armor is next described
In Its various parts, llrst those tilings used
In defense. (Verses II, 15, 1C). An ancient
soldier was before the apostle's mind as
ho wrote: The glrdlo about tho loins a
support to the body, a fastener for the
garments, a pocket for useful articles
must bo of truth, (t Peter i, 13). Right
eousness, un habitual and conscientious
obedience to the commands of God, should
bo tho breastplate, defending against
wounds in tho day ot conflict. (Isa. llx,
17). To stand the ground In slippery
places tho feet mus't be shod with tho
preparation (specially adapted to such
needs) of the gospel. (Deut. xxxlll, 2.'.).
Homo upon the arm there must be that
ample shield ot faith (I John v, 4), against
which tho darts of tho enemy, though
dipped in lire, will strike In vain, liy this
Is meant a firm reliance on tho power,
truth, mcrey and goodness of God. (lleb.
xl, 33). Man's defepso against ivll powers
is not in himself It Is In ithat which God
supplies, with which he maj; be clothed as
a soldier Is clad In armor.
OFFBNSR Hut the Christian must not
limit himself to defensive warfare. It
Is not enough to stand against enemies
thai, attack him. He must nssumo tho
offensive. There are foes to be met and
conquered for tho Lord, to be put to flight
or to death, even as David scattered tho
Philistines and slew Goliath. (I Sam.
xvll, 61). Paul reckoned himself a lighter
of this sort. (I Tim. Iv, 7). Hut in this
encounter tho weapons must not bo carnal
but spiritual. (II Cor. x. 4). Tho sword
whlcJi Peter used Is of no value. (.Matt,
xxvl, 52). A better blade Is the word of
God (verso 17), which Christ wielded in
tho conflict with Satun m the wilderness.
(Matt. Iv, 14). Whoso Keen edge will do
splendid execution In tho hand of a. true
disciple. (Heb. Iv, 12). No other weapon
is needed. Hut, he who bears this, must
remember tho vulnerable part In his own
head, and that must be protected by tlio
helmet ot salvation. (I Thcss. v, S). Not
human learning, although that is not to
be despised, but the hope ot deliverance
from tho dominion and consequences of
sin this Is the safety.

soldier? If tho foregoing advice la fully
followed, will a man be ready for defen
sive and offensive war'.' Hy no means.
Ho must still so depend on God as to seek
His aid In tho conflict. (Verse 18). That
splendid olllcer, General Havclock, went
all through the Sepoy rebellion, trusting
not In tho discipline and bravery of Eng
lish troops, but In Jehovah, whom ho
sought In prayer before and after battle;
nnd "Hnvelock's saints'," ns they aro
called, were Invincible. So General Wash
ington kneeling at Valley Forge, appealed
lo tho God of battles who gave him tho
victory. If great men fill tho need of
Divine assistance end sought it In their
military movements how much mora
ought ordinary mortals to pray In times
of spiritual distress, when strength avails
less, and foes are mightier. (I Tim. II, 8).
"Praying always with all prayer nnd sup
plication In the Spirit and watching
thereunto." Tho heart uplifted, the eyes
turned outward!
ALTRUISM Let no one Infer from what
bus thus far been written that he may be
exclusively concernctl for his personal
safety and triumph, Tho Gospel comes
to no man with a message of selllshness.
All nro parts of a body (I Cor. xil, IS), olid
each must seek tho good of all. True re
ligion restores man to man as well as lo
God. (James I, 27). Hence, while besot by
enemies and1 contending against them and
praying for himself, a Christian man
must remember others who may also need
assistance. (Verse IS). Paul therefore re
quests tho prayers of the Ephcslans
(verso 19), that ho may speak boldly and
lo successful In his ministry, and urges
this on tho ground that he Is a prisoner
nt Rome (verse 20) and requires Divine
grace for his support. As hi tho army tho
private guards, tho olllcers, fo tho hum
blest Christian, however greatly troubled,
should not forget to pray for his pustor.
It Is not a personal but a general victory
that we ought to desire not for ourselVB
alone-, but for tho whole church,

and his triumph shall be glorious. (II

Ithaca, A. 1".
"Another bad symptom was a cough, which
wns so unremitting that it waa the general
opinion of our friends that she was consump
tive. She lost flesh rapidly. Sometimes die
would bo confined to the bid for two or
three weeks, then be around again, but only
to suffer n relapse.
"She wns not only a physlonl wreck, but
her mind was affected, nnd at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. Wo
feared, in fact, a complct mental oTerthrnw
nnd consequent remornl to on asylum, for
although we had two of the best physicians
in the city, nnd hnd tried several proprietary
medicines, nono benefited her.
"We had read coiu!derublo about Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for l'alc People, and
had also heard of somo eases where they
had done good nnd we decided to givo them
a trial. We purchased some nt tho drug
store of White A Uurdick, of this city.
"Huttio began to take tho pills In the
early pHrt of Januarr of this year. Im.
proYcmcnt was noticeable alter the first box
had been taken. The first hopeful sign that
I noticed was that slio did not complain of
headache. Tlio attacks of dizziness nlso be
gan to abate iu frequency, and she ceased to
cough. One oiler auother, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took, in nil, nine
boxes of the pills. At tho present time slio
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost rnst belief.
" I cannot say enough in prnisc of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills, for they saved the life of
our daughter."
