iog on their devotion to tbe interests * f
labor, and labor demonstrates its apprecia
tion of such kindness by frtquent strikes

According to the professions of proteo
tion sts they are tho solo guardians of the
ocuntiy's safety. They are alaimcd at dan
gers which are not visible to others, snd
they propose preventives which to others
appear extravagant and useltss. There is
a well-grounded belief that tbe main otjeot
of such proportions is not to attain the
nominal end, but to device some means of
keeping up the present enormous surplus
On this point the Niw York Journal of
Commerce says:
We never doubted it would come to this—only
not quite so early in the aee.ijii. In tho Senate
yesterday Mr. Dolpb. of Orrg »n, submitted a reso
lution “•pprcpiUtin^ |i2.Vj77,MjO for (ortifloatlons
end seacosst defenses, to be available as follows:
fil.S 1 o.oo> for the fiscal year ending June 33, lbH •;
I'J.Ojo.ooo for each A*t.nl year thereafter for the
period of eleven years, and tS,877,$00 for the fiscal
year ending June J •, 1901, wbl h sutne are to be ex

The Senator from Oreg'n Lae thns adopted th
reccmtuiudation of an eminent statesman now in
Paris, that tbe surplus could not in part be reduced
lu a bolter way tban In constructing fortlflcatloue,
and thus atrengthenU g tie defenses < f the coun
try. That le tj sey, tho money taken ftem the
earnli ga of c> mmtrre and Industry should bo de
voted, not to tbe payment of tbe public debt nor
anything of the kind, but to tbe purchase of big
guns, floating bttlerles and other antiqatied «

like tnaebiuery. aud especially tbe pn Jectile system
of the lesdii g Euroyen nations, if we may
credit the testimony of exports, would be
but a feeble defense against hostile ehlpi
which could ebell cr destroy our eeaboard citim

for getting rid of the eurplns on a patriotic | re
