AS BAD AS WAR.

In the past years the American look.
ed cheerfully and regularly for the
monthly debt statement. to see how fast
the nation was lifting the burden laid
loved to contemplate the figures which
showed how much had been paid off
during the current month. how much
since the commencement of the fiscal
year. and how much since the process
Of payment began. He knew he was
envied by Europeans. whose burdens
of debt. if not growing. were at least
showing only an infinitesimal de-
crease. if any. And the Europeans
frankly admitted the envy. Bismarck
pointed to what we were doing as proof
of the financial wisdom, as well as the
wealth Of our country. Budget-mak-
ors frankly admitted that they wished
they had our surplus to handle. And
every one expected to have this process
go on until the debt was finally wiped
out, as fast as the terms on which it
was contracted, permitted its payment.
Nothing less than the commissions of a
great war could have beer thought like,
ly to interrupt it.
The wal has not come. and is not
coming. No country in the world is so
safe from war as ours is. Yet we have
our hands the very results war alone
was thought likely to bring. We have
the nation driven into the money mar
ket as a borrower, asking terms from
the usurers of London and Frankfort,
receiving insolent lectures from their
organs as to the management of its
affairs, and obliged to confess it's ina
bility to make both ends meet out OF
its evenue. 1t has assumed no new
obligations which constrain it t own
itself unequal to it's burdens. 1t has
lost no source of revenue on which it
depended. 1t has discovered no fatal
flaw in the prosperity of past years,
where the disclosure has changed the
situation. 1t has simply allowed its
collective and private prosperity to be
undermined by following theories ruin
GUS to its w~ell-being. BY a mischiev-
GUS tariff law it threw its industries
open to every hazard of foreign compe-
tition. By a monetary policy still more
mischievous it has made the country
the dependent upon the gold monopo>
lists of Europe. So the treasury re-
ports that during the past month there
has been an increase of bonded debt,
instead of a decrease: and while this
amounts to but SIS, OOO, 900 in itself, it
means that we have entered upon a
course whose end is a general mortgage
upon our national wealth to the
bourses of the old world.-Philadelphia

JEFFERSON A PROTECTIONIST

A paper which is dishonest enough
to mislead its readers as to the belief
of such a great man as jefferson would
do almost anything for political ad-
vantage. Jefferson, although the foun-
der of the democratic party. had brains
enoug to see that free trade would ruin
the American public. He said:
The prohibiting duties we lay on all
articles of foreign Manufacture, which
prudence requires us to establish at
home, with the patriotic determination
Of every good citizen to use no foreign
article which can be made within our
selves, without regard to difference Of
price, secures us against a relapse into
foreign dependency"
In his letter to Humphrey. 1909. he
wrote: MY own idea is that we should
encourage home manufactures to the
extent of u own consumption of
everything of which we raise the raw
materials"
In 1917, after the close of the second
war with Great Britain. in accepting
an election to membership in a so
ciety for the Encouragement Of Do,
nestle Manufactures" Jefferson
wrote: THE history of the last 90
years has been a significant lesson fol
us all to depend for ne~cessaries upon
our selves alone: and | hope that 90
years more will place the American
hemisphere under a system of its own.
essentially peaceable and industrious
and not needing to extract its comforts
out of the eternal fires raging in the
old world"
In view Of the experience of the re,
pulic during the past three years, these
words of the great Jefferson come
home to the people of the United States
with mighty force.

MEDALS OF HONOR.

Two western congressman sat chat
ting IN the writing room at Williard's
last evening when Representative Mon
dell Of Wyoming strolled leisurely up
the street.
Through the efforts Of that man
Gen. Doe, assistant secretary of war,
has just issued medals of honor to two
of the bravest men that served in the
late war" remarked one of the gentle.
men, motioning in the direction of the
pedestrian.
Those men are Allen and James
Thompson. of Company K, fourth N.
Y, Heavy Artillery. 1t was when the
union forces were stationed just of
Petersburg. There had been a hard
fight, and the troops were weary and
exhausted. Gen. Miles was in COM
mand. and he was anxious to learn
whether a certain road was still cover
ed by the sharp-shooters.
HE directed an officer to call for vol
unteers to the road, and the officer
rode down the long line of troops from
left to right asking for some one to
venture on the perilous trip. Finally
the two Thompson brothers announced
their willingness to go.
"A deafening applause. followed by
intense stiffness. greeted the brave vol
unteers as they started on so hazard
ous trip. The trip down the road was
made in safety. but before they could
return they were spied from the fort
and the artillery was opened on them.
Amid the awful IRE the brave men
climbed a tree and signaled back to
their troops that there were no sharp
shooters along the line. Their COM
rades rescued them later.
when Representative Mondell CALI
cd the mater to the attention of Gen.
Miles . few days ago that oficer SAID
he remembered it distinctly as one Of
TIE bravest acts Of the wal. He readily
