which the whole world may well take to heart
Half measures are improbable, often defeating
their own aim. When the time comes, if ever it
does, for the abolition of all armies and navies
1t will be well to abolish them entirely. So
long as armies and navies are needed, it is
well, not only for security in war but for the
sake of the maintenance Of peace, to make
and keep them adequate and efficient

raised it TO 4. 1.-THE Old Lady Of Threadneedle

Careful estimators of the activity OF the post
ONCE now consider that the quantity of business
passing through the New-York buildtng-the
most important of the offices or the land-has
surpassed the total Of 1903 this season by at
least 10 per cent 1t is to be hoped that the
pleasure thus diffused win be more intense and

undeniable instance of the duty on steel rails, whose cost, he says, is $15 ton, and which have been sold in thls country as low as SIT, but are now selling here at $28, while they are being sold to foreigners all the way from SIS to $22 ton. He adds, "the aver age selling price of a hundred articles, taken practically from the iron and steel list, is found to be about 20 per cent higher in this country than abroad" Similar illustrations may be drawn from the price lists of all the staples of living and industry.
 Senator Davis commends to public attention the attitude of the demo cratic party, which, he says in his re- cent letter, stands for wise, conserv- ative and gradual change in the tariff laws to equalize the burden of taxation and make honest competition possi- ble"

 The Courant also affects not to know where in his letter of acceptance Judge Parker made reference to the civil rights of the colored people. The republicans are so used to chasing classes for votes that they don't recog- niZe a Fundamental American state ment when they see it. Judge Parker says in his letter, "Ihe pledge of the (democratic) platform to secure ou. citizens without distinction of race or creed, whether native born or natural ized at home or abroad, the equal pro- tection of the laws and the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges open to them under the covenants of our treaties. as their just due, should be made good to them.'' Could anything be more explicit, or "cover" more com plefely the whole situation as to the rights of American citizenship?
