puoilcan party. Ihey spent thl
money in the alleged repairs of oil
hulks, worthless and unseaworth,
and totally unfit to fly or fight. 7,
illustrate. how some of the money
went, it is but necessary to call ut
tention to the original cost of some
OF these ships, and the amount subse
quently spent in repairing them
The Yantic, for instance, an old wood
en- hulk, originally cost $137, 1852, and
there was subsequently spent ON he,
Tor repairs $375, ,593.60. The Brooklyn
another wood hulk, cost SALT ,92l, and
there has been spent on her for re.
pairs 81 2OO,S74.16. A long list might
be gone over, and it could be proved
from the books that the amount ex-
pended in repairs exceeded the cost,
and after repairing they are worthless
and upseawOrthy. These vessels were
run in the navy yards and thousands
OF men "employed" on them. The
men employed on them were not me-
chanics, but ward-heelers, political
bummers and strikers. This is how
money has been spent, and look at
the navy we have. Is not money ap-
propriated for the Nicarauga Canal
and the Hawaiian Cable sent to
foreign country ? Mr.. Spring says,
I" time has opened my eyes," and then
proceeds to say" our treasury is taking
in money faster than it can expend il"
In connection with this, 1 want to
call attention to the many obligations
imposed on the Fifty-second Congress !;
for illustration, in the matter of pub
lie buildings the Billion Dollar Con.
gress imposed $S,l6O,OOO.OO of liabili-
ties for which they did not appropriate
dollar, this includes 100000 for
the Philadelphia Mint and 81, ,6OO, 600
for three federal prisons.
The wage-worker should care wheth-
er the government owes "a few mill
ion or more" for the interest must be
paid by him and extra taxes are extra
days work. If it was not for your
destructive tariff which shuts out
competition there would not need
to be "plenty of idle men and women" !"
We have had Republican system of
tariff for the protection of our indus s.
tries for 25 years and still we must
have more. Now sir will state few
facts in regard to how much better
we are off to day than we were then.
About 25 years ago the official figures
show that SO per cent. of the wealth
OF this government was in the hands
of "the bone and sinew of the land, y
the laborers. To-day the same figures
show that but % per cent. of the
wealth of this country is in the labor.
er's hand. Talk Of European pauper.
ism and ask yourself how long at the
same ratio will it be until we are all
paupers. Is not these facts enough to
convince any honest person of the
rotteness OF our so-called protective
system. EDw. MCMAHON.

TUMwATER, Feb. %, 1892.
EDITOR STANDARD:
An artical appeared in the Feb. 11th
issue of the Post-Intelligencer conf
menting on the necessity of economy
in the appropriations of Congress, by
Mr.. Abe Spring, of Seattle. Mr..
Spring leads off with few statements
in regard to European, and particular
ly Austrian political economy, which
have no bearing on the politics Of this
nation. 1t is true, unless we receive
some compensation for our labor, we
cannot save. Neither can we save if
our daily wages are taken as soon as
earned to run our government. What
benefit is it to US to have our wages
taken from us to be passed through
the many politicians hands, to have
it returned to us again after they have
taken their grab? You ask as wage
worker to be told by Democracy why
you should approve OF the watchdog"
resolutions of representative Holman.
Where is there anything in these
resolutions that warrant the name
Watchdog? Every citizen should
be in favor of economically running
the government, and all useless ex-
pense is a waste. The Democrats do
not claim it waste to appropriate
money for navy, to defend our cities
and commerce, nor to survey land so
that our home.seekers may locate |;
but we would like to see navy when
we appropriate money enough to have
one. Sufficient money has been ex-
pended since 1868 to build and equip
the greatest navy the world ever saw.
From 1868 until 1880, inclusive, a
period of % years, the enormous sum
of 1892 ,S2O, 1921 has been spent on
the American navy. What has be-
come Of this money! Naval officers
admit that we have not q navy that
can neither fight or run. The Repub-
llcan politicians confess that we are
at the mercy of the smallest power in
Europe, and perhaps they are correct /;
but the people of the United States
have in % years, paid $432, ,S20,762.31
to the Republican politicians in charge
of affairs in Washington, to build and
equip navy to defend the national
honor, if necessary to protect our COM
meree. More than three. .fourths of
this sum-over $S00,OO0,OOO of it
have been squandered by the Republi-
can bosses corruptly.
They have used the money extorted
from the people to build and equip q
navy, to purchase the suffrage of the
people, and keep the Republican party
in power. They have sent this money
to the Portsmouth, Mare leland, Nor
folk, New York, Philadelphia and
Brooklyn navy yards, where they main
