SULZER ON DECK.

II Is greatly to be regretted that at a time
when, In compliance with Captain Sigsbees
request, the general public has suspended judg
ment upon questions relating to recent events,
and the possibility Of war growing out of them,
there should be disposition manifested in
certain quarters to pass hasty judgment upon
the courage and consistency, the sincerity of
motive and earnestness Of purpose Of that fluent
warrior and mellifuous patriot. the Hon Will
lam Suzer, Just now representing in Congress
with great dignity and considerable fervor the
XIth District of NewYork. Because Mr.. Sui
yer last week objected TO the immediate con-
sideraton of the Hawley bill, providing for
two additional regiments of artillery, it does
not by any means follow, as has by some per-
sons been hastily inferred, that the warke
ardor which has heretofore burned in his manly
bosom has cooled or that he has abandoned the
fixed purpose he has so often expressed Of free
ing Cuba even If he had TO incarnadine our
coasts and the multtudinous seas and portions
of the XIth District in the process
Impulslve critics who have rushed into print
TO say that his action with reference to the
Hawley bill was inconsistent with the heroic
attitude he assumed In n recent utterance, when
he said, after passing three fingers Of his right

In her recent address before the Twelfth Night
Club. that 1.-THE theatre should not he conducted

Is Just now visible. on the contrary, the lad

EFFECTS or PROTECTION.

It should not be necessary to assure The
Baltimore News that 'the mere change from
an excess OF imports 10 an excess of exports

a due regard for the nature and circumstances
Of those changes
But this does not alter the fact that pro-
tectjye duties do tend to diminish imports Of
certain kinds, and would not be perpetually
denounced IL they had no such tendency. The
restriction Of imports, when it stimulates home
production Of corresponding articles, may snd
often does result in the payment OF millions
to American laborers for their products in
stead Of the payment Of millions to foreign
labor. 1t would be hard for the most stall
wart Free Trader to deny that the duty on
tinplates. for example had stopped the pay
ment Of s15,O00000 or more to foreigners for
their product. and caused the payment Of sun
dry millions to Americans instead. II that
duty and others Of similar influence tend TO
lessen dependence upon foreign Industries, and
to build up here larger demand for American
labor, the decrease in imports appears to be
good thing for the country. Is anybody pre-
pared TO deny IL?
So heavy exports may either mean that the
country is borrowing money, as the Govern
mept did borrow 1902 100000 during Mr.. Cleye-
lands term. or that II IS pressed to liquidate
foreign indebtedness previously existing. as 1t
