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.

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

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

monometallism, such as obtains in M.x-I

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.
