"No MORE REVENUE WANTED"

"NO MORE REVENUE WANTED"
No craze ever affected the prospect
ty of this country more unfavorably
than the free trade craza. It's latest
outbreak is the assertion contained in
substance in the message of the Presi-
dent, and the report of the Secretary
of the Treasury that this country
needs no more revenue. Mans reason
is one of the most valuable gifts with
which God has endowed His creature.
Like all other gifts it may be basely
perverted. Men can go directly con-
trary to the dictates of sound reason,
can reject the clearest evidence, and
suffer themselves to become so blind
ed that they lose the power of seeing
the truth.
Thisis evidently what has happened
to the men who are clinging with des-
perate tenacity to the doctrine of free
trade. They will otadmit that their
pet scheme has proved a dismal fail
ure. They deliberately shut their
eyes to the facts which persistently
meet them face to face, and in their
blind desperation they repeat the cry
THE government needs no more rev.
enue." Laying aside all questions
about which there is any dispute,
take the facts which have been forced
upon the attention of the people
within few weeks, and consider their
bearing upon this question of revenue
The President has brought this coun-
try perilOusly near war at a time
when We are wholly unprepared for
war. We have next to no coast de-
fences of any kind. To make any ade-
quate preparation for war, or even
under the circumstances, for peace,
will cost many millions of dollars.
Grant if you please that the present
revenues are ample for ordinary eX-
penses, we need guns and forts and
projectiles, all of which will cost mon
ey. Is the President going to threaten
war and then make no provision for
it? What use will it be to assert the
Monroe doctrine, or any other doe
trine concerning our relations with
foreign countries, if all our great cit
les are exposed to the attacks of a
naval foe?
No one desires a war, but for the
President to write such message
and then not lift his finger to get
ready for what is a very possible
contingency, is utterly inexcusable.
If England or any other country
knows that we are ready to fight for
our principles, they will respect them,
and they will be careful how they
cross them. But it is utterly useless
to lay down principles unless we are
prepared in a measure, at least, to
defend them. So that if for no other
purpose, we need an increase of rev.
enue to carry out the principles of
the Presidents message. And yet so
blinded is he to this, so determined is
he that American industries shall
not be protected, that he contends
we need no more revenue.
1t is charitable, we think, to hope
that those who voted for Grover
Cleveland, will get enough of him and
his binding prejudices before his term
expires. We have one thing at
Washington to BIZ thankful for, and
that is the large Republican majority
in the house, and the leadership of
Speaker Reed.

Reports of war operations in Cuba
are so unreliable and unsatisfactory
that it is scarcely possible to make
intelligent comment upon the move
ments of the revolutionists. 1t is
now said that the insurgents in
strong force are within few miles OF
Havana, prepared to fight a decisive
battle, and on the other hand this
story is denied. The only tolerably
certain news from Cuba is to the
effect that the insurgents have been
generally successful and that Gen,
Campos, though in control of an I'M
usually strong army, has made no
Roadway against them. If the rebels
take Havana, recognition of their
belligerent rights would not be far
off, but it seems to be exceedingly
improbable that they will do so.
Allowing the mostexaggerated claim
as to the strength of the rebel army
it still appears that Gen. Campos
must have at least two men to their
one.

Fighting Tuberculosis.

Gen. W. W. Grout, who spent a few
days at his Kirby farm in the inter-
mission of Congressional business,
took the opportunity to make a
thorough test and a clearing up of
his dairy herd of Jerseys. A test by
a local veterinarian some time ago
revealed the presence of tuberculosis.
Gen. Grout then requested Secretary
Winslow of the state board of cattle
commissioners and DR.. Rich to test
the herd carefully. When this was
done, within the past week, 80
animals out of about 90 COWS COM
posing the herd, responded to the
test and were killed. A large per-
centage were young animals ap-
parently in perfect condition, and in
flesh fit to send them to the butcher.
The organs of the cows showed only
slight traces of the disease, but the
carcasses of them all were burned
and will be used for fertilizer. 1t was
drastic remedy to use, but Gen.
Circuit went upon the sound and safe
basis that when one once begins to
fight this enemy the only way is to
make clean and sure thing of it
and his example is one that ought to
be followed throughout the state.
