ocean offered them, or than English cap
italists commanded with their shipping.
NJ man, no set Of men, will put their
property 20 the perils OF distant seas,
when they can command better returns
for Ii on And and near their homes. Eng
land, shall, insular country, has IN her
Possession the dceumatated gains cfa thou

home. It seeks foreign outlet. Hence
her capitalists put their money into iron
ships, and great ocean lines of steamers,
which go from and retarn to their ports.
bringing to their owners rate of divi-
dends very much smaller than American
capitalists obtain by their vast operations
on land. And the increase of Ameri-
can commerce thus made since the
passage of the Morrill, tariff dwarf in
to pigmy proportions the boosted gains of
British shipping and commerce in the
same period. And just here lies the
main cause why American shipping inter
ests have not been pushed forward more
vigorously the past twenty-five years. But
these facts Mr.. Putnam does not seem to
know. And he ignores the fact that Eng
land has been paying hundreds Of millions
Of dollars to subsidize and foster her
shipping interests, while the Democratic
party of this country has been nearly a
unit against such fostering protective
policy to American shipping.
| The extreme weakness and ineffective
ness of Mr.. Putnain's remarks on the
tariff and shipping, as We have already
minated, may be owing to his more than
| half consciousness that he il on the wrong
eide of both questions. 1t must not be
forgotten that he comes from Wing stock.
! IFS father was Clay and tariff Wing,
and in his boyhood he must have received
some sound political instruction from DIR.
Putnam, Of Bath, which still fingers in
his memory, If it has not left an influence
on The tendencies of his political thinking
Blood will tell. Thus there are strong
primal reasons why William L. Putnam
makes bungling Democratic defender.
His real sympathies are not with "the
Great Unwashed. Democracy sticks in
HIS throat. Circumstances, and not logic
and strong convictions, having carried
him into the Democratic party, he makes
a poorly-equipped statesman, failure as
q diplomatist, a nOn-effective partisan
and so became the victim of Chamberlain
Bayard and Cleveland, the oily-tongued
Englishman, the Delaware Bourbon and
the Buffalo poltician-the Free Trade
trio, who made the Maine Commissioned
bear his part of the opprobrium of nego
tiating the ubiquitous Fishery Treaty.

A Free Trade Bill.

There is good Democratic authority for the
statement that the Mills bin is free trade
measure. Here, for example, is Henry
George, an ardent supporter of the admin
istration. declaring over his own signature ::
THE free wool clause embodies the most
important provision of the Mills bill, and if
it contained nothing else this would be sufi-
cieut to make the issue bet, cen the principle
of protection and the principle of free trade"
And here is the Albany Times, Demo-
cratic paper, but one not fully in accord
with the President, which says:
Whatever may be said in general objec-
ton to the term free trade as descriptive of
the whole bill, the most sensitive defenders
of the measure must admit that. if it pass,
wool is to be absolutely free of all duty.
Free trade could no further 60 than in the
disposition this bill proposes to make of wool.
Albany county is about as sensitive county
on the subject of protection and free trade
as any in the Union"

Not a Natural Democrat.

We think no candid, well informed read
er OF Hon. WIN. l.. Putnam's speech, made
at the Democratic ratification meeting in
Portland, can arrive Mt any other conclu-
sion than that there are very good lawyers
who are not wise Legislators and are very
poor statesmen. The way he discusses
the questions of the tariff and of the
American shipping interests, proves plain
ly one Of two things, either that he has
not thorough knowledge of their essen
tial facts and fundamental principles, or
that his better instincts and real convt =
tons are not on the side he assumes to
argue. Possibly he has been so occupied
during his most mature years in the study
and practice of his profession that he has not
been able to devote the necessary time to
the study of the grave and important
political and economic issues and prob
lens which have been before the Ameri-
can people the past thirty years. We
certainly have higher estimate of his
intellectual capacity and general intelli-
gence than his Portland speech indicates.
He appears to insist that Protective legis-
lation rests on no defined governmental
principles. Yet he might easily learn.
what Is so VIGOROUSLY true. that the ablest
statesmen of the world for the last
hundred years have maintained
Protection as an economic truth, and as
based ON sound governmental principles
and the largest experience. Among these
statesmen were Washington, Hamilton,
Madison, jackson, Clay. Webster, Lincoln.
Among those of our time on the other
side Of the Atlantic are those two
thoroughly practical, mastery men In
government, of the great German and
French nations-Bismark and Theirs.
Mr.. Putnam totally misapprehends the
chief reasons why the American shipping
interests have not increased and prospered
more since the passage of the Morrill, tariff.
He ignores the fact that the Confederate
iron-clads, built, owned and paid for by
the British Free Traders, swept from the
ocean large portion of the American
shipping, and that near the same time the
compound engine and the iron steamships
came largely into use, revolutionizing
ocean navigation. Why were not Ameri-
can enterprise aud capital at once put to
use in obtaining the advantages of these
changes and Improvements in shipping?
For the reason that they were absorbed
In the extinguishment of a vast Free
Trade rebellion, and when the war was
over, the building of vast networks
Of railroads and many cities, at
the cost of several thousands Of millions
Of dollars absorbed available American
capital, at a percentage of interest which
shipping could not pay. Capital follows
its own logic as certainly as water. 1t
goes where the strongest dividends are
sure. In the ownership Of railroads, in
the building Of cities and towns In the
development Of vast landed interests,
Americans found use for all this capital
with zsurer prospects Of gain than the

he ceased to conjecture and sank into most

From deductions made from large num-
Der of cases during the Rebellion, surgeons
formulated the following law, which later
experiences have verified: The wounded
soldiers chance of recovery is smallest with
in the brick walls of old, long-used hospitals.
1t increases in rude, wooden barracks, even
though continually used. 1t increases still
more in farm houses temporarily occupied,
but is greatest in open air tents, where ven-
tilatior takes care of itself. Nature is the
surgeons most powerful ally, and pyemia
and gangrene-the two great foes that in
sidiously steal upon the surgical patient
are only kept at bay by generous and con.
slant supply of fresh air. This fact has led
to the trial, during the summer months, OF
open air hospitals and the gratifying results
attendent upon them indicates that they will
form feature of all great hospitals in the
near future.
