Those who see so much danger in wha,
they regard the sweeping terms of those
Monroe resolutions before Congress seem
TO have overlooked the fact that they all
hinge upon the same principle as the
Monroe doctrine, viz. danger TO this
peace and safety of the nited States. Ii
this government shall decide that it will
not endanger the peace and safety Of the
United States for England to adjust the
territorial dispute with Venezuela. hy
purchase or otherwise, there is nothing
in these Davis resolutions requiring oui
government TO interfere. Some think they
go into particulars altogether too much
while others deprecatc their ambiguity.
Here is the text of the resolution which
has excited so much criticism:
Therefore, be 1t resolved. that the
United States of America reaflirms and
confirms the doctrine and principles pro
mulgated by President Monroe in his
message of Dec 2, 1923, and declares that
1t will assert and maintain the doctrine
and those principles and will regard any
Infringement thereof and particularly any
attempt by any European power to take
or acquire any new or additional territory
on the American continent or any island
adjacent thereto, or any right of SOW
ereignty or dominion in the same in any
case or instance as to which the United
States shall deem such attempt to be
dangerous to its peace or safety, by OF
through force, purchase, cession, occupa-
ton, pledge, colonization, protectorate OF
by control of the easement in any canal
or any other means of transit across the
American isthmus, whether under IN
founded pretension or right in cases OF
alleged boundary disputes, or under any
other unfounded pretcnsons, as the mani
testatlon OF an unfricndly disposition to-
ward the United States and as an inter
position which it would be Impossible in
any form for the United States to regard

This country wants the world to under
stand that it is ready to defend the Mon
roe doctrine.
1t wants coast Qualifications and bet
ter navy.
II wants to restore confidence in its
ability to maintain the currency and pay
all its bills
1t wants return to the prosperity il
enjoyed up to 1893.
1t wants to see Cuba given an oppor-
tunity to develop herself, Hawaii have
key protected and stop put to the
Armenian butcheries, its subject in The
Transvaal accorded justice.
These are present, pressing wants; but
above them all, as the beginning of the
fulfilment of them ALL the United States
wants, it must have, sufficient revenue tc
pay its expenses.
The free silver senators may hitch their
wagon to Il star, u comet if they like, but
they should not be permitted to bind
down the welfare of this great nation by
any bands of the white metal they
could forge.
The report from Washington that the
Senate had resolved to take the considera.
ton of the Dingley deficit bill from the
custody of the finance committee and
consider 1t in open Senate and immedi
ately, we hope is true. 1t is a departure.

customs that are already a menace to the
wise deliberations of that body. Some

The senators, who possess sound sense,
let their political preferences be what they
may, should unite to save the financial
reputation Of the country, to put it out OF
the reach of bond syndicates and free
silver lunatics vino would destroy their
own cause for the sake Of a little petty
advantage
1t is the sheorest nonsense to accept
the statement that there is no deficit.
Such a claim is absurdly false. Since
1878 the treasury has borrowed gold to
redeem legal tenders, to the amount OF
S27S. 500, GOO. If none Of this amount
had gone in some way to pay expenses il
would all be in the treasury today either
in the form of gold or in the form of legal
tenders. OF gold and legal tenders, in
the treasury today the amount does not
exceed $155, Geo, 600 Accordingly $l23,
GOO, GOO has gone to pay expenses Of the
government This must stop, before We
can have prosperity.
