Schools, Not Armies, the Source of

1t is quite as appropriate, think, tha
the President of the United States should
review the teachers of the land as that he
should review its army or its militia.
For, after all, the strength and defense of
our institutions, not only in peace, but
in war, are to be found in the young of
the land, who have received from the
lips of patriotic teachers the story of the
sacrifice which our fathers made to es-
tabliSh cur civil institutions, and which
their sons have repeated on the hundreds
of battlefields. The organized army of
the United States, if we include the
militia of the States, is of insignificant
proportion when put in contrast with the
armies of the other great powers of the
world. Our strength is not in these; it is
IN the great reserve to be found in the in
structed young OF our land, who come to
its defense in time of peril. 1t was not
the brawLers. 1t was not the frequenters
of the tavern, of whom our army in the
Civil War was made, or of whom our
army must be made if any great emer-
gency Of war again confronts US.

The merchant must know when his
order will be received, and when his con-
signment will be returned, or there can
be no trade between distant commune
ties. What we need, therefore, is the es-
tablishment of American steamship lines
between our ports and the ports OF Cen
tral and South America. Then it viii no
longer be necessary that an American
Minister, commissioned to an American
state, shall take an English ship to Liver
pool to find another English ship to carry
him to his destination. We are not to be
frightened by the use of that ugly word
subsidy" We should pay to American
steamship lines a liberal compensation
for carrying our mails, instead Of turning
them over to British tramp steamships.
We do not desire 10 dominate these neigh
boring Governments; we do not desire to
deal with them in any spirit Of aggres-
sion. We desire those friendly political,
mental and commercial relations which
shall promote their interests equally with
ours. We should no longer forego those
commercial relations and advantages
which our geographical relations suggest
and make SO desirable.

In all the addresses which have been
made to me there has been some refer
ence to the great question of the protec-
ton of our American industries. L see it
upon the banners which you carry. Our
party stands unequivocally, without
evasion or qualification, for the doctrine
that the American market shall be pre-
served for cur American producers. We
are not attracted by the suggestion that
we should surrender to foreign producers
the best market in the world. Our sixty
millions Of people are the best buyers in
the world, and they are such because our
working classes receive the best wages
But we do not mean to be content with
our own market. We should seek to
promote closer and more friendly conn
mercial relations with the Central and
South American States. And what is
essential TO that end? Regular mails are
the first conditions of commerce.

The interest of the General Govern

that we have placed upon our free list

From the time of my induction into
Office the duty Of using every power and
influence given by law to the Executive
Department for the development of
larger markets for our products, especially
our farm products, has been kept con-
stantly in mind. and no effort has been or
will be spared to promote that end. We
are under no disadvantage in any foreign
market, except that we pay our work
men and workwomen better wages than
are paid elsewhere - better abstractly,
better relatively to the cost of the neces-
saries of life. do not doubt that very
largely increased foreign trade is acces-
sible to us without bartering for it either
our home market for such products of the
farm and shop as our own people can
supply, or the wages of our working
people.

THOSE APPROPRIATIONS.
WiIIfui Failure to Give Credit where
Credit Is Due.

The Union of this morning in cons
menting on the increase pat on the house
appropriations for the maintenance or
Rock Island arsenal, by the senate com-
mittee eviuces its characteristic DISPOSE
ton to mi2represent and its equally char
acteristic nature of distorting facts.
Whether it be attributable to ignorance
of the situation or to determination not
to see correctly in this case, that the
Union refuses to credit CongressmenCable
and Hayes and also Messrs. Fred Hass
and S. F. Smith with work actually done
in behalf of the senate appropriations, 1T
matters not to THE ARGUS. This paper
always done for this community, for the

for the viaduct by Senators Allison and
Cullom, the latter public Improvement
being due absolutely to their efforts,
but in this case it knows what has been
done by Congressman Gable and Hayes,
aad by Messrs. Hass and Smith, and not
only can the correspondence be produced
to show Just, who is responsible for the
actual facts being placed in the hands of
Senators Allison and Cullom. who have
used them to such good advantage, but
even before the house appropriations
were made known by official publication
and Congressman Cable and Hayes found
that they were not what they had been
working for, and they at once began
working on securing an increase in the
s anate, that Messrs. Hass and Smith
visited Washington at their solicitation,
the Union to the contrary notwithstand,
ing, and have been in daily correspon-
deuce since their return, and that cores
ndence is at the Unions disposal if it
desires to see it. Credit should be placed
where it is Cue, snd no small amount is
due Senators Allison and Cullom, but a
paper is guided by Contemptibly
nigg srdly policy that will fail to recog-
nize the services of Congressman Gable
and Hayes, and Messrs. Hass and Smith
in this case.
