It has canvassed ; swelled, southward from Ix:nton to the spendine of a million or two dollars ; White P'a'r,. ard fWh'" . ... on our fortification and run. It Is still apathetically talking on the subject, and that is all. It began tinkering linle a doxen years ago, when It was foun t ' that England. France and Germany were constructing high power steel guns able to hurl heavy thots and shells from sl to a doxen tnlles. It has not made a move to put a single fort In effective .U- ' tensive order so that It can "stand 01T an enemy's war vessels sent against us. 1 For twelve years congress has assumed ' that there will be no war with any power in our time or In our children's time re quiring the defense of our coasts. It has j assumed that no foreign power will assail ; ts under any circumstances that may arise, and that we are under the special j care of protecting angels, watching us j by day and night And they have as sumed all this, knowing that the govern ment cannot improvise defense against a foreign fleet, that it takes many mouth!) to build large high power steel guns: that we have but one or two plants In ' which to build them: that we have no contracts for the necessary metal; that we have not a single high power gun with disappearing platform mounted In any of our forts, and that not one of our forts Is provided with steel shields for deflecting an enemy's shot. oucu e im cu.iuiwuii ... allien uu ; country Is placed, though two weeks ago j we were on the ve of war with the j strongest naval power in the world. Of ' what use is it under such circumstances I to Introduce resolutions asking Great 1 Britain what (he means by sending troops to Venexuelan territory except to induce ' contemptuous or Insolent answers on the ! part of that strong power? The English j will snub and bulldoze us all they please so long as congress is fooling and gravely discussing propositions 10 build one or two more ocean cruisers and one or two lake revenue tugs, with one or two light guns. Why is it that every memlier of con gress as soon as he gets to Washington I grows unmindful over the grave question of national defense, and when they should be ready to order effective defense for all our important coast cities, strong forts, guns and vessels, spend therr time .., km.. ,. , ,,, ' ..v oemagogues in tne presiaeniiai electitn 1 or trying to wreck the currency and wreck the public credit, meanwhile leav Ing the United States seaboard cities naked to their enemies and their people dependent for peace and security upon the tender mercies of England or some other foreign power? Senator Vest has told his colleagues in the senate of the United States that "the i conflict between bimetallism and the gcM standard Is irrepressible." He deliberate- j ly misrepresents the facts in making this i statement. There Is r.o such conflict, i The conflict now on, and in which Vist is engaged onthe wrong side, is between 1 bimetallism and a monometallic silver i standard. We already hava bimetallism, I the amount of silver coin being greater than that of the gold coin, while the silver or certificates against It circulate . . . . . 11. ine imiius u. i.ie? pe'jpie .ar mure man ; gold doe. What Vest ai.d the other 1 silver cranks In the senate are fiahtini for is to have this bemetallism abolish. .1, and the country brought down to silver' monometallism, such as obtains in M.x-I ten oa mi., -ni-et. n,i.ri. . says the scon"r the contest Is d.-ei.l the better it will le for our public and private life. That Is correct. Why, then, does he Insist on keeping up the contest? fie Is trying to destroy the present order of things and substitute for 1 It one much worse. It Is Vest and his : fellow cranks who are directly responsi ble for the trouble experienced In ma:n talnnlg the parity, and their agitation has caused the loss of untold billions of dol lars to the people by the Indued luck of that confidence in ths perpetuity ol existing conditions which is necessary to a healthy business and Industrial aciivl y.
