refers are as glOring as the noon day sun.
Devoid of all unnecessary verbiage, the

tually exist; wrongs committed against
our own people as well as those of other
nations are shown and apt references
made TO the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. the constitution and other ar
chiyes in the country's. career.
Judge Parker's illusions to labor tur-

quest of the Philippines were pertinent
aptly put and sensibly and practically

expansion craze and the martial spirit OF
the age, he said:

conquest or engaged in extending our
domains in foreign lands, or desitious OF
securing natural advantages, however
great. by force; but people loving
peace, not only for ourselves, but for all
nations of the earth. protest against
the feeling, now far too prevalent, that
by reason of the commanding position
we have assumed in the world, we must
take part in the disputes and broils OF
foreign countries; aud that because we
have grown creative should intervene IN
every important question that arises IN
other parts of the world. ] also pro-
test against the erection of any such
military establishment as would be re-
CURED to maintain the country IN that
attitude.

ACCORDING to an English authority
in ten years time Columbia, not Bri'
tannia. will rule the waves. Captain
Thomas Allnutt Brassey, editor Of ''Th'
Naval ANIMAL" of London, speaking al
Catfeld Sunday, said he was convinced
that within another decade the command
of the seas would have passed from Great
Britain to the United States. The lat
ter country, he said, was now building
more battleships than England, and its
resources were greater than those OF
Great Britain, whose only hope of main
tanning her supremacy on the sea was
federation through which the colonies
would aid in the building and mainten-
ance of the navy of the mother country.
Before all this can be accomplished,
however, many barriers which the re-
publican party have placed in the way
will have to be removed, and should the
democratic party emerge triumphant 10
November thenext administration would
take immediate steps toward bringing
about this desideratum. There is no
good reason why the United States should
not be the first maritime power IN the
world. not in steel battleships. but in
merchant vessels. The building of the
isthmian canal will naturally make the
Gulf of Mexico the Mediterranean of the
western hemisphere, and with the grow
ing trade of the Atlantic and he Pacific
and that of the ports of call in the latter
and possessions in the orient, the
United States flag should be prominent
on all seas. The fact is apparent that
this country is blessed in resources and
is able to complete with am other in
the world in the production of manu-
featured goods Its food supply is enor-
nous, and possessing all natural adj
yantages in its stretch of area from
ocean to ocean, there is no good reason
why it should not supersede England in
maritime Importance Reckless legis-
lation, however, must give way to equi-
table and sane tariff and other laws be-
lore anything stable can be realized.
The people of this country in less than
three months time will have an oppor-
tunity to bring about state of affairs
which will enable the United States to
gather fruits to which it is justly en-
titled.
