In the debate on the Fertilization Appro-

The nations of the world were constantly
quarreling, and a strong navy was our
surest safeguard.
Randall urged economy, and said an in
creased appropriation was useless. There
was no danger of foreign war.
Ellis referred to the Inter-Oceanic Canal,
and the possible complications arising
therefrom, as an additional reason for sea
sea coast defense.
Randall said the European fnanciers
had refused to move in that matter unless
it had the absolute commentator of the
American Government. Did not Mr.. Ellis
know that regarding wars in South America
other Governments had always sought the
United States to take the initiative steps
for bringing about peacee The European
Governments in this instance had practi-
cally acknowledged the Monroe doctrine,
and instead of undertaking to make peace
themselves they had come to the United
States, and had asked the United States to
arbitrate. he maintained that in view of
history, the approximations that were at
tempted to be raised here, that this coun
try was to have a foreign war, and that,
therefore, appropriations should be made
which were not essential, and which, If the
policy was continued, would cause a large
increase of expenditures that were not
wise, and he appealed to the House. with
out regard to party, to meet this attempt
to increase appropriations OF the thresh-
old, and to prevent that policy being
inaugurated as the policy Of this expiring
House. Let the increase in appropriations
rest with those who would come to the mex
Congress with renewed confidence. The
true policy of the Government was, rather
than build ornaments, to decrease the bur
dens Of debt, take off taxation, modify the
revenue and internal taxation laws, anc
relieve the people, instead of at the very
first opportunity increasing the burdens o.
taxation.
Calkins argued against the amendment
and suggested that the modern and mos
effective method OF defending seaports wal
the torpedo system.
Speer argued on the authority Of Gen
eral Grant, that what was needed wal
not more extensive Notifications, but NOR,
powerful ordnance.
The amendment was rejected, yeas. 56
nays, 80. The other amendments Offered
by Reagan, Fort and Ellis, were either al
rejected or ruled out. The Committe'
then rose and reported the bill to tn
House, and 1t passed.
