The R,sh. Thing Said and In the Rish,

The Right Thing Said and In the Right
::s.ce-
The attitude taken by Mr.. Carlisle
in his letter to friend concerning his
possible nomination for the presidency
is worthy of the man. The secretary
of the treasury is charged with some
of the most important duties resting
upon this administration. He could
not, without neglecting these, enter into
a rough and tumble struggle for the
presidential nomination. In this re-
spect. he sets a worthy example to
those senators and representatives
whose custom it has been to absent
themselves from Washington for weeks
while congress is in session in order to
secure their own denomination. In the
next place, Mr.. Carlisle is rightly con-
cerned far more about the declaration
of principles of the democratic party
than about its candidate. A mistake
in selecting leader may be rectified.
Its consequences are but temporary.
But a mistake in a party platform
reaches far into the future, and re-
mains an embarrassment and source
of weakness to that party until gen.
Grafton arises that has had time to
forget the blunder.
In the present instance, a false step
would be more than unfortunate; it
would be fatal. The failure of the
democratic party to declare for sound
money and against silver monometal-
lism in its national convention this
year would mean, must mean, party
disintegration and the absorption of
democracy by populism. It is the ex-
istence and not merely the success or
defeat of the democratic party that
is at stake. Therefore, Mr.. Carlisle acts
the patriot and the loyal democrat
when he sets this issue in the fore
front and subordinates to it any per-
sonal ambition that he may entertain.
First of all, let the fight be made for

sound-money principles. and candidates
will not be lacking.

sound-money principles. and candidates
will not be lacking.
There is not word in Mr.. Carlisle's
letter, of course, from beginning to
end, which can be construed as a
definite refusal to accept nomination
under any circumstances. 1t is not
believed that he would. All that he
has said is that he does not wish to
obscure issues or divide forces in his
party until its attitude on the cur
rency question shall have been definite
ly determined; and that he does not
propose either to slight the duties of his
high office, or to use, as his predeces-
sors have done, its great patronage in
order to force himself upon his party
as its presidential candidate. In both
of these positions Mr.. Carlisle COM
mends himself to his party and to the
country as a high-mindcd, honorable.
old-fashioned democrat, worthy to bear
the name and to be the chosen leader
of his party if it should so declare.
He has said the right thing in the
right place, and the whole country
respects and admires him for it.-St.
Paul Globe.

The Republican Tariff.

The Mckinley threat to business
should be reckoned with by those mer-
chants and bankers who say that they
will breathe more freely when congress
adjourns. Congress will adjourn some
happy day, but the Mckinley canvass,
the Mckinley nomination and election
if they come, will mean destruction OF
all business stability up to the summer
of 1898 at least. No new tariff can BE-
passed before that time, and meanwhile
the shadow cast before it, the intriguing
and pulling and hauling to fix rates in
it, and the uncertainty which will at
tend both it's terms and its workings
y>in leave business gasping and strug-
Cling for two years more. Add to this
the practical certainty that if any tariff
at all is passed il viii have to be by CON
cessions to the silver republicans. and
hence by further unsettling OF the
currency as well as customs duties. and
the prospect for business men viii APP
pear to be little short of what Dr.. John
SON called .inspissated gloom Z.

A SONG OF The WORLD.

This world of ours Is not so drear
As we would often take it,
Nor Is 1t half as lonely here
As many people make 1t.
II skies are sometimes overcast
And all seems dark before us,
The sunshine always comes at last
And throws its splendor DER Us!
"A little while, and we are gay,
And then our hearts are saddened;
And so 1t Is. from day to day.
Our lives are grieved and giaddenec
We seek the joys that fortune brings
Though hardly worth the giving,
But oft forget the little things
That sweeten life and living.
There is a beauty that adorns
This changing life of ours,
For II our pathway has its thorns.
1t also has its flowers;
And hope is ever whispering nigh.
If we would only hear it;
The cross would never make US sigh
II we would meekly bear it,

JAPAN.s ARMY AND NAVY.

rha nEihndo Tn Have HALF . MIniea xnpe.A-
| i've soldiers Ten Years from Nov.
Our correspondent at Toxic. writing
on January 5, sends us q resume OF the
large schemes of military and naval d.
velopment contemplated by the Jape-
nese government. As to the navy, in
seven years there win be expended on
men-of-war $1,000, 900 yen. and 14,OO0.-
600 viii be devoted to the construction
of docks and various edifces. These
figures are independent of vessels al
ready ordered abroad, among which
are two battle ships of over Il, 900 tons
each, which win probably be ready for
sea in the course of year. Evidently
The intention is to possess navy more
than equal to the combined squadrons
Of Britain, Russia, France, Germany
and the United States-aggregating
1sS, 600 tons-now on the Pacific sta
ton. It must always be borne in mind
that although Japan cannot procure
ships and guns more cheaply than any
other country can, once in possession
Of such weapons Of war she maintains
them at an outlay almost incredibly
small when judged by western stand
ards.
The period of seven years CORE
spends with the period fixed by the
Shimonoseki treaty for the payment of
the Chinese indemnity. China is
pledged to pay the last installment OF
the indemnity by May. 1902, until
which time Japan holds Wei-Hai-Wei.
In connection with the naval extern
sion scheme may be mentioned the es-
adjustment of an iron foundry. Japan
uses 10000 tons of iron and steel every
year, put produces scarcely any, al
in abundance. It is proposed to begin
by manufacturing 10000 tons of metal
annually including $1,000 tons of Bes-
semer steel. The estimated expendi-
lures on account Of this establishment
aggregate a little more than 1000, 600
yen (say e4a0,0OO), and are to be
spread over a period of four years.
Only two foreign experts will be en-
ployed at first. japan imports iron,
steel and their manufactures, and
these totalled over 9,O00, 900 yen last
year, nearly 100000 of which came
from Great Britain.
With regard to the army, the exact
degree of increment projected by the
government cannot yet be stated, but
it will not be far from the truth to say
that the present force is to be doubled
in nine years. Last year the regular
expenditures on account of the army
aggregated 12,50O,OOO yen; this year
they are put at 15,OOO,OOO, and an ex-
traordinary grant of 19,250,0Oo is also
asked for the construction of barracks
and forts, the manufacture of small!
arms, and so forth. Japan-s fighting
force in 1905 will be approximately,
100, 900 with the colors, 1s5, OOG reserves,
and 100000 landwehr-that is to say,
100000 men in round numbers. It will
sound almost incredible to western
ears that she should maintain such a
force at an annual expenditure of &c.
100000 yen, of about s2,Ts0,O00
sterling; but such, nevertheless, is her
estimate, and the expenditure of 20
years justifies us in believing that her
calculations are not faulty.-London

PLOT OF THE M'K!NLEYITES
The Definite Meaning of the Ohio Mans
Boom.

It is not difficult even at this early
stage of the game to penetrate the pur-
poses of the republican leaders who are
trying to shape the action of the st.
Louis convention. The Mckinley boom.
which has been carried with vigor into
ailsShe states, has q definite meaning
and intent.
No matter what the wording OF the
republican platform may be, the nomi-
ration of Mckinley can have but one
significance. Mckinley carries his own
platform, and that platform is Mekin-
leyism with all the word implies OF
privilege, legislation ard political fat
irving. The tariff barons and the fat
friers want Mckinleyism to be vindi-
Gated. They are anxious to secure de-
feat of the democratic anti-protectien
doctrine and rebuke of tariff-reform
legislation. The sweeping democratic
victory of four years ago rankIes in
their breasts and stands as an obstacle
IN the way of their schemes of plumber.
The election of Mckinley would be
taken as vindication of McKinleyism
and return of the people TO the policy
of protection. The republican leaders
find strong hope of accomplishing
this object in the democratic situation.
They could not hope to win on
straight issue of Mckinleyism. but they
see an opportunity to reha bilitate pro-
lection and slip Mckinley into the
presidency in the democratic wrangle
over the money question.
The fact that Mckinleyism has been
thoroughly beaten once will not check
a republican return to it, If democratic
flissensioHs over sixteen TO one enable
the republican party to win with Nc
Kinley as q standard bearer. The vic
tory win be hailed as popular v1ndica-
ton of protective policy, tariff plum
dering will be renewed and the battle
for the interests of tbs plain people
will have to be fought over again.

s"Twenty Bessemer steel companies.
representing $500, 000, 900 of capital and
producing half the worlds output,
formed an organization yesterday ct
tine Hotel Waldorf.
The price of steel billets was placed
at $40 a ton. Last week they sold at
SIT and S18."-N. Y. Press.
The above is quoted from the news
columns of one of the most rabid and
insistent newspaper champions of pro.
lection. It carries its own argument.
These gentlemen met at the finest hotel
in the world, and decided to increase
the cost of steel to the builders of all
structures in which these billets are
used by 17A per cent. No one who
observes building operations in the
large cities can fail to understand how
5urdensome this will be upon con-
tractors and builders. There will be a
crowding of expenses in other direc-
reap any advantage. Upon all grades
of men, from the housesmith to the
tenant who occupies the completed
building, the representatives OF S4O0,
100000 of capital have made levy of
17ls per cent.
This is of special Importance just
n.,w because of the political relations
of these gentlemen. The present tariff
on the products they control is IS per
cent. This tariff enables them to com
bine and raise the price three dollars
ton higher than the competitive level.
But not satisfied with this enormous
advantage, they are investing their
money in a presidential campaign, in
the hope of securing still greater
advantage over the consumers of the
goods they make. The trusts and pro.
tected manufacturers are not investing
their money in a republican candidate
without substantial hope and expecta.
