sand square miles and five hundred thousand
inhabitants, was scarcely less ambitious than
its more colossal neghbors. The country
having been at peace for more than half a
century, and during that time rapidly de-
veloping its wonderful natural resources,
began TO feel the wants that every nation
feels as il unrolls its resources-a commercial
outlet on the ocean and territorial extension
Both could be obtained in one direction, and
Paraguay looked southwark to the richest and
most beautiful of the Argentine States, Cor
rientes and Entire Rios--the latter with a fine
contact with the great estuary of the La
Plata, and both provinces bounded by rivers
navigabe for large class of sea-going vessels.
Already powerful in an impregnable position,
hanging like q shadow over the great Brazilian
province of Matte Groso, preventing the set
tlement of southeastern Bolivia and the Gran
Chaco, she threatened to shove, wedge-like,
between the two great adversaries, Brazil and
the Argentine republic, and control the whole
vast interior of a valley which, for natural
productions, fertility of soil, and wealth, both
mineral and vegetable, has no equal in CON
nected area on the surface of the globe.
But the objects OF the Argentine republic
in this strange territorial contest were not dis
similar from its neighbors. Under the Vice
roys Paraguay was a dependency of Buenos
Ayres; but in 1911, when the Viceroyalty was
overthrown and a Provisional Government
it called a central usurped authority, and i'm
mediately declared its independence of Spain.
The effort of the Buenos Ayreans to restore her
to the Viceroyalty was unsuccessful; but the
Argentine republic has always clung to the
hope that her old province would some time
return to her either peaceably or by force of
arms and this notwithstanding the recognition
of Paraguayan independence in the treaty
made between the two countries in 1862.
The great prize, it will thus be seen, for
which the combatants are striving, is the con
troll of the La Plata Valley. The prize is mag
nifcent; but the allies, in an alliance unnatu-
raj and equally unfortunate, are paying very
heavily for the attempt to remove one of the
three oontending parties and narrow the con-
test down to two. Paraguay was the first to
invade one of the provinces which she coveted
but, attacked by her powerful opponents, she
has, like an armadillO, rolled herself in hel
shell and laughed at all their attempts tC
penetrate even her outworks. 1t is probable
that the close of the war will find Paraguay
relatively stronger than she was at the begin
ming; while the allies, exhausted of men anG
money, will require a long time to recuperatt
and reopen the great contest.

The Reasons for Protection.

From the Tribune.
There was a preliminary gathering yester-
day at the Astor House of some two hundred
citizens, interested in or otherwise favorable
to protection to home industry. Mr.. Peter
Cooper presided, and ten or twelve States were
represented. Governor Pierpont of Virginia,
was present, and in full sympathy with the
meeting and its object. A committee of or
ganization was appointed, and, after much
animated discussion, an adjournment was had
to the 22d inst, when it is intended to
organize for a vigorous, determined canvass of
the whole country by means of meetings,
speakers and documents.
II was high time. The importers have sub
stantial control of the newspaper press of this
| city, the Tribune and one or two other journals
excepted We do not in saying this charge
| any party with corruption. 1t happens that
| the importers are free traders and that they,
with the iobbers of their goods, are very large
and constant advertisers, as most American
| producers of metals, wares, and fabrics are
not. The importers advertise mainly In jour
nails which talk as those importers would have
them ON the tariff question; and the great
| majority of our journals talk so as to please
their most liberal advertisers. All this is
rather natural than otherwise, and we are not
| blaming either party. We state facts which
explain other facts, and demand public atten-
ton.
That miners and manufacturers who seek
protection are monopolists, extortioners, rob
bers, is the general drift of our city contem-
poraries' political economy. Thatthe essayists
Who condemn protection are unquestonably
right. while those who uphold it are knaves
or fools, is a style of argument which our
neighboring journals find at once easy and
nroAtable. That a Pennsylvania ironmastel

The Struggle for Territory In South
America.


From the Herald.
For more than two years the war for terri
torial aggrandizement on the La Plata river
appear to be further removed from the objects
for which they entered the contest than they
were at the beginning. On the part of Brazil
the war is but the result of long announced
and steadily pursued policy of the imperial
family. The Parana and Paraguay rivers
must be the boundary of the empire. AT
first glance the map would appear to show
that Brazil should be contented with her terri
torial area; but when it is considered that the
valley of the Amazon is naught but vast
jungle; that of the 3, 100000 square miles
(Humboldt's measurement, there is scarcely
one-tifth available for settlement by men;
that the only really valuable part lies south of
the htteenth degree of south latitude; and
that Brazil has never ceased her efforts to
extend her territory to the south and west, we
shall see that this grasping for a more remote
boundary line is natural. So steadily has this
policy been carried out in Uruguay. that to-
day the port Of Montevideo may be considered
a Brazilian CITY, Even before the date Of
Spanish American independence, this effort to
overrun Uruguay, Paraguay and the strip of
Argentine territory lying between them
called Missiones, was the cause of long and
bloody warfare. From the founding of Monte
yideo, in 1925, the Portuguese commenced
their struggle for the extension of Brazil.
Uruguay has always been the principal battle
ground; for whoever holds the northern bank
OF the La Plata dominates the whole of its
immense and magnificent valley, even to the
heart Of Bolivia,
The lodgment which the Portuguese effected
on the La Plata early in the eighteenth century
have rise in 1776 to the most formidable mill
tary expedition which up to that time Spain
had lifted out to the New World. The Portu-
guese settlement was laid in ruins, and the
attempt Of the Portuguese to hold a point on
the great riyer was signally defeated. Brazil
has, however, staked her future on this desired
boundary; and as She has already waged
nearly a century of war to accomplish her pur-
pose, it is not 70 be supposed that She win now
desist, When the present war opened ths little
| dictatorship Of Paraguay, with seventy thou

EncrOachments of Military Power In the
South.

South.
From Me Times.
The authority of igadier-Generals is fast
making itself reality at the South. The
reasonable Interpretation of the intent of the
Reconstruction act is, that military power
shall be absolute in all that pertains to the
purposes comprehended within the law, but
no further. 1t is, in fact, merely the agency
created for working the machinery OF the law,
with view to the reorganization of civil au-
4hority, and for meeting possible emergencies
arising out of the present provisional arrange
ments. The duty of the military commander
as we understand it, is to rectify wrongs and
errors OF omission or commission perpetrated
by existing local authority. Apart from these
contingencies, his functions would seem to be
restricted to whatever may be necessary to
the execution of the plan Of Congress- as enn.
bodied in the law.
Under a rigid adherence TO this construction
of military duty, perhaps General Sheridan,s
removal of Mayor Monroe and other obnoxior,
officials might not have admitted Of iustiaoa.
