A Defense of Russia Which Set All New York and Brooklyn Talking Before Night—Enssiif Onr Friend in 1S61-5. Many Calumnies Refuted. Brooklyn, Nov. 20.—Rev. Dr. Tal mage today fulfilled his promise that he would again speak of his visit to Rus sia and correct many wrong impres sions concerning that empire and its ruler. After an exposition of Scripture aud congregational singing he took for his text II Peter ii, 10, “Presumptuous are they, self willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.” Amid a most reprehensible crew Peter here paints by one stroke the portrait of those who delight to slash at people in authority. Now we all have a right to criticise evil behavior, whether in high places or low, but the fact that one is high up is no proof that he ought to be brought down. It is a bad streak of hu man nature now, as it was in the time of the text a had streak of human na ture, that success of any kind excites the jealous antipathy of those who cannot climb the same steep. There never was a David on the throne that there was not some Absalom who wanted to get it. There never was a Christ but the world had saw and hammer ready to fashion out a cross on which to assassinate him. Out of this evil spirit grow not only in dividual but national and interna; ion a: defamation. To no country has more in justice been done than to our own in days that are past. Long before “Martin Chuzzlewit” was printed the literature of the world scoffed at everything American. Victor Hngo, as honest as he was unequaled in literary potver, was so misinformed con cerning America that he wrote: “The most singular thing is the need of whit tling, with which all Americans are pos sessed. It is such that on Sunday they give the sailors little bits of wood, be cause if they did not the 3 r would whittle the ship, in court, at the most critical moment, the judge, whittling, says, ‘Prisoner, are you guilty?' and the ac cused tranquilly responds, whittling, ‘I am not guilt}’.’ ” Lord John Russell called us “a bub ble bursting nationality. ” But our coun try has at last recovered from such cari cature, and there is not a street in any city of Europe or Asia where the word “America” will not win deference. But there is a sister nation on the other side of the sea notv going through the process of international defamation. There is no country on earth so mis understood as Russia, and no monarch more misrepresented than its emperor. W ill it not be in the cause of justice if I try to set right the minds of those who compose this august assemblage and the minds of those to whom, on both sides of the ocean, these words shall conu-V If the slander of one person is wicked, tlicu the slander of one hundred and twelve million people is one hundred and twelve million times more wicked. In the name of righteousness and in behalf of civilization, and for the encouragement of all those good people who liave been disheartened by the scandalization of Russia, I now speak. But Russia is so vast a subject that to treat it in one dis course is like attempting to run Niagara falls over one mill wheel. Do not think that the very marked courtesies extended me last summer by the emperor and empress and crown prince of Russia have complimented me into the advocacy of that empire, for I shall present you authenticated facts that will reverse your opinions, if they have been antagonistic, as mine were reversed. I went last summer to Russia with as many baleful prejudices as would make an avalanche from the mountain of fabrication which has for years been heaped up against that em pire. You ask how is it possible that such appalling misrepresentations of Russia could stand? I account for it by the fact that the Russian language is to most an impassable wall. Malign the United States, or malign Great Britain or Germany or France, and by the next cablegram the falsehood is exposed, for we all understand English, and many of our people are familiar with German and French. But the Russian language, beautiful and easy to those born to speak it, is to most vocal organs an unpro nounceable tongue, and if at St. Peters burg or Moscow any anti-Russian cal umny were denied the most of the world outside of Russia would never see or hear of the denial. W hat are the motives for misrepre sentation? Commercial interests and in ternational jealousy. Russia is as large as all the rest of Europe put together. Remember that a nation is only a rnan or a woman on a big scale. Go into any neighborhood of America and ask the physician who has a small practice what he thinks of the physician who has a large practice. Ask a lawyer who has no briefs what he thinks of the lawyer who has three rooms filled with clerks trying in vain to transact the superabun dant business that comes to him. Ask the minister who has a very limited audience what he thinks of the minister who has overflowing audiences. Why does not Europe like Russia? Because she has enough acreage to swallow all Europe and feel she had only half a meal. Russia is as long as North and South America put together. She has twenty-five thousand miles of seaboard. “But,” says some one, “do you mean to charge the authors and the lecturers who have written or spoken against Russia with falsehood?” By no means. You can find in any city or na tion evils innumerable if you wish to discourse about them. I said at St. Petersburg to the most eminent lady of Russia outside of the imperial family, “Are those stories of cruelty and outrage that I have heard and read about true?” She replied: “No doubt some of them are true, hut do you not in America ever have officers of the law cruel and outrageous in their treat ment of offenders? Do you not have in stances where the police have clubbed innocent persons? Have you no in stances where people in brief authority act arrogantly?” I replied, “Yes, we do.” Then she said: “Why does the world hold our government responsible for exceptional outrages? As soon as an official is found to be cruel he immedi ately loses his place.” Then I bethought myself, Do the peo ple in America hold the government at Washington responsible for the Home stead riots, or for railroad insurrections, or for the torch of the villain that con sumes a block of houses, or for the ruf fians who arrest a rail train, making the passengers hold up tlieir arms until the pockets are picked? Why then hold the emperor of Russia, who is as impressive and genial a man as I have ever looked at or talked with, responsible for the wrongs enacted in a nation with a popu lation more than twice as large in num bers as the millions of America? Suppose one monarch in Europe ruled over England, Scotland, Ireland, France Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Nor way and'Sweden., Would it be fair to hold the monarch responsible for all that occurred in that mighty dominion? Now you must remember that Alexan der the Third reigns over wider domin ion than all those empires put together. As a nation is only a man or a woman on a big scale, let me ask, Would you individually prefer to be judged by your faults or your virtues? All people, ex cept ourselves, have faults. The pessimist attempting to wri'e your biography would tr.Lv you in you. weaker moods, an 1 the picture of you on the first pagt of your biography wonld be as you looked after some meanness had been practiced on you and you were tearing mad. Now, as I am an optimist. I give you fair warning tha! if I ever write yo.tr biography I will take you as you looked the day your divi dends came in twenty per cent, larger tlian you ever air. idpated, < <rthe morning on your way to business after your first child was born, or the morning aftei your conversion, when heaven had rolled in on your soul. The most ac cursed homunculi of all the earth are the pessimists, who, whether they judge individual or national character, aud whether they wield tongue or pen, are filled with anathematization, and who have more to say about the freckles on the cheek of beauty than of the sunrises and sunsets that flush it. It is most important that this country have right ideas concerning Russia, for among all tlie nations this side of heaven Russia is America’s best friend. There has not been an hour in the last seventy-five years that tlie shipwreck of free institutions in America would not have called forth from all the despotisms of Europe and Asia a shout of gladness wide as earth and deep as perdition. But whoever else failed us, Russia never did, and whoever else was doubtful, Russia never was. Russia, then an old government, smiled on the cradle of our government while yet in its earliest in fancy. Empress Catherine of Russia in 177G or thereabouts offered kindly inter ference that our thirteen colonies might not go down under the cruelties of war. Again, in 1813, Russia stretched forth toward us a merciful hand. When our dreadful civil war was raging, and the two thunder clouds of northern and southern valor clashed, Russia practi cally said to the nations of Europe, “Keep your hands off and let the brave men of the north and the south settle their own troubles.” Prince Gortscha- koff, the Russian statesman, diplomatist and prime minister, during that wax- looked earnestly into the face of Bayard Taylor, our minister plenipotentiary to Russia, and said: "Russia alone has stood by jam from the first, and we will continue to stand by you. You know the sentiment of Russia. W e desire, above all things, the maintenance of the American Union as one indivisible Union. We cannot take an}’ part more than we have clone. We have no hos tility to the southern people. Russia has declared her p-jsition aud will maintain it. There will be proposals for inter vention. We believe that intervention could do no good at present. Proposals will be made to Russia to join in some plan of interference. She will refuse any invitation of the kind. Russia will occupy the same ground as at the begin ning of the struggle, ♦'ou may rely upon ir, she will not change.” I rehearsed some of those scenes to the emperor last July, saying, “You were probably too young to remember the po sition your father took at that time,” but with radiant smile he responded, “Oh, yes; I remember, I remember,” and there was an accentuation of the word« which demonstrated to me that these occurrences had often heen talked of in the imperial household. I stood on New York Battery during the war, as I suppose many of you did, looking off through a magnifying glass upon a fleet of Russian ships. “W hat are they doing there?” I asked, and so every one asked. “W hat business have the Russian warships in our New York harbor?” Word came that another fleet of Russian warships was in San Fran cisco harbor. ‘ ‘W hat does this mean?” our rulers asked, but did not get imme diate answer. In these two American harbors the Russian fleets seemed sound asleep. Their great mouths of iron spoke not a word, and the Russian flag, whether floating in the air or drooping by the flagstaff, made no answer to our inquisitiveness. W illiam H. Seward, secretary of state, asked the Russian minister at Washington the meaning of those Russian ships in American waters and got no satisfactory response. Ad miral Farragut said to a Russian officer after dining in the home of the eminent politician, Thurlow Weed, that maker and unmaker of presidents, “W hat are you doing here with those Russian ves sels of wai’?” Not until the war was over was it found out that in case of foreign inter vention all tike guns and the last gun of these two fleets in New York and San Francisco harbors were to open in full diapason upon any foreign ship that should dare to interfere with the right of Americans, north and south, to set tle their own controversy. But for those fleets and their presence in American waters, there can be no doubt that two of the mightiest nations of Europe would have mingled in our fight. But for those two fleets the American gov ernment would have heen today only a name in history. I dec' ire before God and the nation that I believe Russia saved the United States of America. Last July I stood before a great throng of Russians iin the embarrassing position of speaking to an audience three-fourths * of which coflld not understand my Ian- guage any more than I could understand theirs. But there were two names that they thoroughly understood as well as you understand them, and the utterance of those two nanus brought forth an ac clamation that made the city hall of St. Petersburg quake from foundation stono to tower, and those two -names were “George Washington" "Abraham Lincoln.” Now is it not important that we should feel right tov. ard that mighty, that God given friend of morn than one hundred years? Yta, because it i■> a nation of more pd. ubili.ies. than any other except our own should we cultivate its friend ship. There i-: a vast realm of Russia as yet unoccupied. If the population of the rest of EuropMwere poured into Russia, it would be only partially occupied. After awhile America will be so well populated that tlie tides of emigration will go the other way anil by railroads; from Ru.-sia at Behring straits—where Asia conies ■within thirty-six miles of joining America—millions of people will pour down through Russia and Siberia, and on down through all the regions waiting for the civilization, of the next century to come and culture great har vests and build mighty cities. W hat the United States now are on the western hemisphere Russia will be on tlie east ern hemisphere. Nut only beotiu.se of what Russia has been to our republic, but because of what she will he, let us cease the defamation of all that pertains to that great empire. If Russia can af ford to be the friend of America, Amer ica can afford to be the friend of Russia And now I proceed to do what I told the emperor and the empress, and all the im perial family at the palace of the Peter- j.of 1 would do if I ever got. hack to America, and that is to answer some of the calumnies which liave been an nounced and reiterated and stereotyped against Russia. Calumny tlie First—Tlie emperor and all tin* imperial family are in perpetual dread of assassination. They are prac tically prisoners in the winter palace, and trenches with dynamite liave been found dug around the winter palace. They dare not venture forth, except pre ceded and followed and surrounded by a most elaborate military guard. My answer to this is that I never saw a face more free from worriment than the emperor's face. The winter palace, around which th. * trenches are said to have been cliar. with dynamite, and in which the imperial family are said to be prise r^rs, lias never been the resi dence of tie imperial family one moment since the present empei-or has been on the throne. That winter palace has been changed into a museum and a picture gallery and a place of great levees. He spends his summer in the palace at Peter- hof, fifteen or twenty miles from St. Petersburg, his autumns at the palace at Gratschna and his winters ill a palace at St. Petersburg, but in quite a different part of tbe city to that occupied by the winter palace. He rides through the streets unattended, except by the em press at his side and the driver on tlie box. There is not a person in this audi ence more free from fear of harm than he is. His subjects not only admire him, but almost worship him. There are cranks in Russia, but have we not had our Charles Guiteau and John Wilkes Booth? “But," says some one, “did not the Russians kill the fa ther of the present emperor?” Yes, but in the time that Russia lias had one as sassination of emperor America has had two presidents assassinated. "But is not the emperor an autocrat?” By which you mean, has ho not power without restriction? Yes, hut it all de pends upon what use a man makes of his power. Are you an autocrat in your factory, or ail autocrat in your store, or an autocrat in your style of business? It all depends on what use you make of your power, whether lo bless or to op press, and from the time of Peter the Great—that Russian who was the won der of all time, the emperor who became incognito a ship carpenter that he might help ship carpenters, and a mechanic that he might help mechanics, and put on poor men’s garb that he might sym pathize with poor men, and wlio in his last words said: “My Lord, I am dying. Oh, help my unbelief!”—I say, from that time the throne of Russia has, for the most part, been occupied by rulers as beneficent and kind and sympathetic as they were powerful, To go no further hack than Nicholas, the grandfather of the present emperor. Nicholas had for the dominant idea of his administration tlie emancipation of the serfs. When it was found that he premeditated tlie freedom of the serfs he received tlie following letter of threat from a deputation of noblemen: “Your Imperial Majesty—We learn that the council and senate of the empire have before them foi deliberation, with your sanction, the plan to abolish serfdom throughout tlie Russian empire. We are perfectly willing to abide by your majesty’s decision in this matter and to loyally support your will, but there are in Russia a large number of small own ers of serfs who are dependent for actual subsistence on the labor of tliose serfs, and who consequently will be left wholly penniless and without any resource by the operation of emancipation. They will then undoubtedly resort to desper ate measures, and in the extremity of their despair will put .the life of your majesty in jeopardy.” The emperor replied in words that will last as long as histc.'-y: “Gentlemen, if I should die because of my devotion to such a cause, I am willing to meet my fate.” When, tinder an attack of pneumonia from exposure to severe weather in the service of liis people, that emperor put down his head on tne pillow of dust, Russia lost as good a monarch as was ever crowned. Then came Alexander the Second, tne father of the present emperor. Amid the mightiest opposUon and innumerable protests he, with one stroke of his pen, emancipated twenty million serfs, prac tically saying: “Go free. Be your own masters, and this is for you and your children forever.” On the day he was basely assassinated (and I will paren thetically say that I saw his carriage in splinters as it looked when he stepped from it. not to save himself, but to look after somo poor people in the street who had been hurt, and I saw the bed on which he died, the mattrass yet crimson yrith his life’s blood)—oh the day he was assassinated he had on his table, found afterward, a free constitution that pro posed. to give the right of suffrage to the people of Russia. If it had not been for the ' assassination he would have soon signed that constitution, but that horrible violence put things back as violence always does. What a marvel ous character of kindness was Alexan der tlie Second, the father of tlie present emperor, so that tho present emperor. Alexander the Third, inherits his be nignity. Alexander the Hecond, bearing that a nobleman had formed a conspir acy against liis life, had him arrested. Then the eyes of the criminal were band aged, and he was put in a carriage and for somo time traveled on, only stopping for food. After awhile the bandage was- removed, and supposing that lie must by that timo have been almost in Siberia lie found that lie was at the door of liis own home. But this punishment was sufficient. The same emperor, having heard that a poet had written a poem defamatory of his empress, ordered the poet into his presence. Expecting great severity, the poet entered the palace and found the emperor and empress and dukes and duchesses gathered together. “Good morning," said tlio emperor to the of fender. "I hear you have written a most beautifu^ poem, and I liave sent for yon that yon may read it to us and we may luive the pleasure of hearing it.” The m m criod out, “Hmd mo to Siberia or do anything with me, but do not make me read this poem in your pres ence." He was compelled to read the defamatory poem, and then the empress, against whom it was aimed, said: "I do not think lie will write any more verses about us again. Let him go." And so he was freed. And now comes in Alex ander tlie Third, doing the hest things possible for the nation which he loves and which as ardently loves him. But what an undertaking to rale one hun dred and twelve million people, made up of one hundred tribes aud races and speaking forty different languages. But, notwithstanding all this, things there move ou marvelously well, and 1 do not believe that out of five hundred thou sand Russians you would find more than one person who dislikes the emperor, and so that calumny of dread of assas sination drops so fiat it can fall no flatter. Calumny the Second—If you go to Rus sia yon are under severest espionage— stopped here and questioned there and in danger of arrest. But mv opinion is that if a man is disturbed in Russia it. is because he ought to be disturbed. Rus sia is tlie only country iu Europe in which my baggage was not examined. I car ried in my hand, tied together with a cord, so that their titles could be seen, a pile of eight or ten books—all of them from lid to lid cursing Russia—but I had no trouble in taking with me the books. There i.s ten times more difficulty in get ting your baggage through tlie Ameri can custom house than through the Rus sian. I speak not of myself, for friends intercede for me on American wharves, and I am not detained. I was several days in Russia before I was asked if I had any passport at all. Depend upon it, if hereafter a man believes he is un comfortably watched by the police of St. Petersburg or Moscow, it is because there is something suspicions about him, and you yourself had better, when he is around, look after your silver spoons. I promise von, an honest man or an honest woman, that when yon go there, as many of you will, for European travel is destined to change its course from southern Europe to those northern re gions, you will have no more molesta tion or supervisal than in Brooklyn or in New York or the quietest Long Island village. Calumny the Third—Russia and its ruler arc so opposed to any other religion except the Greek religion that th<*y will not allow any other religion; that noth ing hut persecution and imprisonment and outrage intolerable await the dis ciples of any other religion. But what are the facts? I had a long ride in St. Petersburg and its suburbs with the pre fect, a brilliant, efficient and lovely man, who is tlie highest official in the city of St. Petersburg, and whose chief business is to attend the emperor. I said to him, ‘‘I suppose your religion is that of the Greek church?” “No,” said lie, “I am a Lutheran.” “'What is your religion?” I said to one of the highest and most in fluential officials at St. Petersburg. He said, “I am of the Cliurch of England.” Myself, an American, of still another denomination of Christians, and never having been inside a Greek cliurch in my life until I went to Russia, could not have received more consideration had I heen baptised in the Greek church and all my life worshiped at her altars. I had it demonsti-ated to me very plainly that a man’s religion in Russia has noth ing to do with his preferment for either office or social position. Tlie only ques tions taken into such consideration are honesty, fidelity, morality and adapta tion. I had not been in *St. Petersburg an hour before I received an invitation to preach the Gospel of Christ as I be lieved it. Besides all this, have you for gotten that the Crimean war, which shook the earth, grew out of Russia’s in terference in behalf of the persecuted Christians of all nations in Turkey? “But,” says some one, “have there not heen persecutions of other religions in Russia?” No doubt, just as in other times in New England we burned witches, and as we killed Quakers, and as the Jews in America have been outrageously treat ed ever since I can remember, and the Chinese in our land have been pelted, and their stores torn down and theii* way from the steamer wharf to their destined quarters tracked with their own blood. The devil of persecution is in every land and in all ages. Some of us in the differ ent denominations of Christians in Amer ica have felt the thrust of persecution because we thought differently or did things differently from those who would, if they had the power, put ns in a furnace ’eight times heated, one more degree of caloric than Nebuchadnezzar’s. Perse cutions in ail lands, but the emperor of Russia sanctions none of them. I had a most satisfactory talk with the emperor about the religions of the world, and he thinks and feels as yen and I do—that i’e- ligion is something between a man and his God. aud no one has a right to inter fere with it. You may go right up to St. Petersburg and Moscow with your Episcopal liturgy, or your Presbyterian catechism, or your Congregationalisms liberalism, or your Immersionist’s Bap tistry, or any other religion, and if you mind your own affairs and let others mind theirs you will not he molested. Calumny the Fourth—Russia is so very grasping of territory, jfeid she seems to want the world. But what are the facts? During the last century and a quarter the United States have taken possession of everything between the thirteen colonies and the Pacific ocean, and England during the same length of time has taken possession of nearly three million square miles, and by the extent of her domain has added two hundred and fifty million population, while Russia has added during that time only one-half the number of square miles and about eighteen million of population —England’s advance of domain by two hundred and fil’tv million mrainst Rus- Ifc is positively without a peer. Mr. Walter Brewer, Vinton, Ia., says : “I had a very bad cough and a few doses of Dr. Bull’s Ccugh Syrup gave relief and ef fected a cure. I would not foe without it in my family. ” 389-It Children of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Soller Altoona, Fa.
