COAST DEFENSE.
One of the arguments used by the sec
retary of war in advocating a steady and
systematic prosecution of the plan of
coast defense Is that it is an economical
and altogether good policy to keep the
plants already established in regular oper
ation. It may be said that this is only an
Incidental and trivial advantage to be de
rived from liberal appropriations for the
general purpose of coast protection, but
it should not be so regarded by members
of congress who are accustomed to con
duct their private affairs prudently, utllliv
Ing their Investments to the uttermost
and preventing waste at every point. The
government has a gun factory capable of
producing yearly thirty-five guns of the
various types required. At that rate the
eighteen ports Included In the scheme of
fortification would be completely armed In
ten years. Adequate facilities for the
manufacture of gun carriages and of
larfce forglngs have also been provided,
and the only cause of slow progress In rvn
Indlopenaable undertaking Is the. parsl
mony of congress.
We do not believe that past treatment
ot this c.atter by those who control
through their hold on the national purse-
strlngs Is In accord with popular scntl
ment. Certainly the Inhabitants of our
own state of Oregon and other states
which have ocean coast borders are not
indifferent to their own peace and se
curtty. If the people of the Interior need
to be Instructed as to the magnitude and
universality of the Interests Involved
their want of knowledge Is no excuse for
congressional neglect. It Is rather the
business and the duty of their rcprescnta
lives at Washington to bring them up to
the point of realizing the necessity which
undeniably exists. We have not the rc
motest doubt that if upon the queutian of
providing adequately for the work of
coast defense every member of congress
were to vote according to his honest con'
vlctlons an abundant supply of money
would be granted by an overwhelming
majority. There is no moaner timidity
. than that which a congressman manifests
when, In the name of constituents whom
he has never tried to enlighten, he be
trays his own Intelligence and conscience.
NOT AN EFFICIENT MEASURE.
A locnl correspondstit signing himself!
'Democrat" writes as follows:
"The Astorlan Is always talking about
sound money and the free silver erase,
at the same time shutting Its eyes like
the Oregonlan and all other Republican
papers to President Cleveland's honest ef
forts to remedy matters. Last week I
notice that Cleveland asked congrens to
provide for retiring the greenbacks and
the Bhermanu notes, aggregating marly
fifty million dollars, by a bond Issue that
can be used as the basis of a similar in
crease In the national bank circulation.
Out, Mr. Editor, do we hear a word of
praise from you or any other Republican
paper for Cleveland's action? Not much.'
The Astorlan has never belittled Presl
dent Cleveland's honest attempt to stand
up against the majority of his party and
fight the silver erase. Rut, In the mat
ter quoted by "Democrat," Mr. Cleveland
Is clearly wrong, if that action la
worthy of notice at all, It should be con
demned. There Is room for grave doubt
as to whejher cuch a proposition, If car
ried out, would be sunicle.it to a maliv
tcnance of the parity. True, the govern
ment then would be relieved from the
long-standing trouble of redeeming the
greenbacks as fast as relsued and the
"Sherman notes" as oftn as they were
presented after having been put out
again. Rut what would be done with the
250,000,000 of silver certificates now In ex
Istcncef - What would be there to sus
tain thorn In chse it were found that this
sort of 18 to 1 money, supplemented by
the coinage of over 1170,000,000 which the
presldont hints In that same messngo
might be put out gradually, should prove
to he in excess of the quantity that could
be kept up to par with gold by the action
of the government In receiving It for cus
toms anil Internal revenue, and paying It
out attain? If the government were not
bound by law to redeem those silver cer
tificates In anything better than 10 to 1
silver dollars (now worth not much more
than m cents each), what would become
of the purity of sliver certificates with
gold money T How does he propose to
keep at par ith gold money certlllcates
redeemable only In sliver dollars whose
intrinsic value Is only 60 cents each? He
has suggested no way of doing It. He
has simply Ignored It.
It muy be said that the-national banks
would he charged with the duty of main'
mining the parity of their circulation
swvll.d from Its present volume by over
double that amount. Hut Cleveland has
not proposal anything to guarantee this.
8upi.wo the bonds deposited by the banks
to wure circulation were always worth
their face In gold, there Is nothing now
to prevent those banks from claiming the
right to rtdcetn their notes only In silver,
that being Ugul tender. J3o this could
not be counted on as a sustaining nower
If the government did not continue to
hold Urn dlvr certificates and the
slHer dollar up to gnld par by some
iiieih.il. On the contrary, It might be
!'! 'he banks ' wi.u'd follow
11,. i- liM-Hn-.- p I .- v . ,-;: .!
" i' f i"ivl by i!m iir.l paying out i
the poorest of It, which would satisfy the
condition legally imposed namelyi that
the "money" be legal tender. One might
count certainly upon this course. The
moment gold went to premium because
It was wanted for export or hoarding, no
more of It would be paid out by the banks
or by anyone except at a premium. The
buying power of the silver dollar and of
the certificate Issued against it would
then break down .In accelerating ratio.
Gold would disappear very speedily and
the country would flop to the free silver
basis, with a panic raging through the
length and breadth of the land, paralyz
ing all our Industrial activities and reduc
ing the people to the depths of confusion
and despair.
After all, there Is nothing meritorious,
as "Democrat" seems to Think, In the
president's action Meantime, he is
unconscious of the peril and has gone off
shooting ducks.
The Manufacturers' Record publishes
some statements of fact which are of
especial Interest in view of the movement
to establish closer commercial relations
between the West and the South. More
than 60 per cent of the world's cotton is
raised in the Southern states, yet the
cotton crop of that section Is exceeded in
value by its grain crops, which aggregate
about 050,000,000 bushels per year. More
than half of all the standing timber In
the United States Is In the South, and
iron ore and coal are in unlimited supply,
while nearly every Southern state has an
abundance of good water power to sup
plement the advantages of cheap fuel.
From 18S5 to the close of 1)194 the cotton
manufacturing industry In the South
more than doubled, and the capital in
vested In it was Increased about Ave
times. The consumption of Southern
cotton mills Is at the rate of about a
million bales of cotton per year, which is
half that of the mills in the Northern
state The South has three million cot
ton spindles out of a total of eighty-five
millions in the world, and expects to add
eight hundred thousand more within the
next twelve months. "The room for ex
pansion is almost without limit."
December with Astoria made a fairly
good beginning, but did not possess either
the grace or the courage to keep It up.
The snow which came on Sunday was
Just sufficient to remind us of what our
Eastern friends have suffered, and Just
enough to produce a few disagreeable
conditions of slopplness which 'are the
bane of this neighborhood In the winter
Eeason. At the same time even such a
thin coating of snow as was found on the
ground yesterday morning was a source
cf delight and enjoyment to the young
ones, lie wruld be hard-heartfd Indeed
who would sock to Interfere with their
delight either by sprinkling "ashes on the
slide," like the deacon In Eugene Field's
poem, or by wishing the snow entirely
banished.

SIXTY WEDS SIXTEEN.
A Love Match Comis to ItB Proper Con
clusion. (N. Y. Herald.)
A gray-haired, gray-mustuched man.
of sturdy build, with a pretty, dark-eyed,
black-haired girl, walked Into tho Herald
otllce yesterday afternoon and Inquired
tholr way to, "The Little Church Around
the Corner." The glrh who might have
been the man's daughter, or even his
ftranddaughter, was petite and plump,
f-he blushed prettily when her companion
said that they wished to be married.
They obtained the desired Information
and told their story.
The man Is William O. B. Riddle, a
foreman In a large thread factory In
Newark. He Is 60 years old. His bride
to be was Florence Hogan, 16 years old.
daughter of James T. Hogan, of No. M
Webster street, Newark. Under the Btaco
name of IfUsie Laura, she says, she once
played the ingenue part of Wilber's Ann
In the "Girl I Left Behind Me." She
left the stage and went to work some
months ago In the factory where Riddle
Is foreman.
Riddle, a widower, was attracted by
the pretty '.'new hand" and paid her at
tentions, which were so agreeable to lit r
that Bhe said "Yes" when the all-lm-
nortant question was asked by he gray-
naired suitor. When her parents' con
sent was asked, Mr. and Mrs. Hogan, not
relishing the Idea or calling as old a man
"son-in-law," flatly refused It. Hut, Ilka
a pair of young lovers In a romance, they
met In fplto of parental opposition. In
and out of working hours. At lat pa
rental opposition gave way and consent,
If not approval, was granted. The wed
ding day was fixed for the coming Christ
mas eve, and Lizzie got her trosseau all
ready.
Riddle culled on his sweetheart yester.
dnv to take her out for a holiday. The
smouldering ritsllka which his nrsneot've
father-in-law had kept under, now burst
forth with new fury, and thpre was a
family quarrel. Riddle and Llzz!e left
the house, the angry swain '.-.arnlng Liz
zie's parents that the next time they saw
her she would be Mrs., William H. Riddle.
i ins turn or nrrntrs made no d fference
with their holiday plans. They had In
tended to go to a matinee In this city,
and to the theater they went. After the
performance they went to a restaurant
near Herald square for their Thanksirlv.
Ing dinner. Over the dishes they beiran
to plan the future. Llzxle aarced that
it was useless to go back to her home,

Mr. and Mrs. Hogan had not heard the

Mr. and Mrs. Riddle will no doubt soon

In the tvarni, health-giving weather
My poor pals wife and I
Drive up and down the little town
And the pleasant roads thereby;
Out In the wholesome country
We wind, from the miin highway,
In through the wood's green solitudes
Fair as the Lord's own day.
We have lived so long together,
And Joyed and mourned as one,
That each with each, with a !ook for
speech,
Or a touch, may tal't as none
But luve's elect may comprehend
Why, the touch of her hand on mine
speaks v olume-wise, and the umlle of her
eyes,
To me, Is a song divine.
There are many places that lure us

Of town we know and the creek below,
And the banks the boys love best;
And "Ueoch Grove," too, on the hilltop;
And "The Haunted liousa" beyond,
With Its roof half off, and Its old pump

Adrift In the roads! -lc pond.
We find our wcy'to "The Marshes" -
At loost where tli;y used to be;
And "The Old Camp Grounds," and the
Indian ifounds," . '
And the trunk of "The Council Tree;"
We have crunched and splashed through
"Flint-Bed Ford;"
And at "OJd Big Beo-Gum Sprlrg"
We have stayed the cup, half llff.'d up,
Hearing the redblrd sing.
Then there Is "Wesley Chapel,"
With Its little graveyard, lono
At the crossroads there, though the sun
sets fair
On wild rose, mound and stons . . . .
A wee bird under the willows
My wife's hand on my own

Of a dove in undertone.
The dusk, the dew, and the silence!
"Old Charley" turns his head
Homeward then by the pike again
Though never, a word Is said
One more step, and a lingering one
After the fields aTid farmH
At the old toll gate, with the woman

With a little girl in her arms.
