Promotion Of Markets Abroad.

IF tariffs are no longer needed for
revenue, then they should be employed to
extend and promote our markets abroad.
There are now locked in the vaults of the
Treasury Department vast sums of money
which have been taken from the people in
the form of taxation before it is actually
needed for the fixed charges of the govern
ment. and is thus taken out of circulation
to lie idle. A financial and tax system
which permits this is a menace to the uni
form and continuous prosperity Of the

annually little over 81 coo, 600 to building

in the Pacific are properly cared for under

Navy to Avert War.
Remember, gentlemen, that the prime
use Of the United States navy is to avert
war The United States navy is the cheap
est insurance Uncle Sam has. 1t is the
surest guarantee against our ever being
drawn into war, and the guaranty is eff
fective just in proportion as the navy is
efficient.
I'm our foreign policy our aim must be
to treat with scrupulous fairness and JUS
tfce, every foreign power, European or
Asiatic large or small; to treat every for
eign power upon the basis Of asking moth
ing from any one Of them that We do not
gladly do in return. The attitude that we
are willing to have them take toward us
we have right to expect that they shall
not object to our taking toward them; but
no other. Let us treat every power with
justice, every power with courtesy.
. Courtesy is not an expensive commod-
lty, but 1t is mighty valuable one. and
trust that not merely our public men, but
our publicists and our private men who
address public meetings, will remember
that while it is purely our own affair as to
the standard of manners we observe in
dealing with one another. this is not so
when We deal with outsiders. 1t behooves
us all invariably to use a tone of courtesy
and consideration in dealing with any for
eign nation. That is one side of 1t, but
there is another. Let US not give any
other nation any cause for offense. and, on
the other hand, keep our navy at such
pitch of efficiency as to make 1t a strong
provocative of good manners in other ma
tons.
so, gentlemen, I earnestly hope that your
meeting here in the national capital will
be of immediate good along all three of the
lines that l have mentioned, and especially
that We shall see as one of it's results the
entering of this nation on the policy of Sc
curing an adequate representation Of fast
steamship lines from this country, both
from the Pacific and Atlantic ports, to
South and Central America, to Asia and to

the expenditure Sf $27,00O000 would
secure uniform 14-foot channel all
the way from the unsalted seas to tide
water. Yet another scheme rs that
for a canal, for which survey has al
ready been made, to connect the up
per Mississippi with Lake Superior.
Whatever be the depth of channel
finally determined upon there is no
doubt that once our inland waterways
are improved we will be treated to
some miraculous performances in the
economical movement of freight. Al.
ready commodities are moved on the
interior waterways of America at a
lower cost than anywhere else in the
world. Just by way of illustration it
may be pointed out that, handicapped
as our riyermen are at present, they
now move freight on the basis of only
three-fifths of mill, that is three
tiftieths of cent per ton per mile
whereas about the best the railroads
can do is two mills or one-ffth of a
cent per mile. 1t is predicted that
with deeper channel it will be pos.
Sible to move a ton of freight a mile
on the Ohio or Mississippi rivers at
the incredibly low charge of one
twenty-ffth of a cent.
In recent discussion OF the com
mercial possibilities of the lakes-to
the gulf deep waterway, Mr.. John l..
Mathews has thrown some interest
ing light on the significance of the
project from a commercial standpoint.
The significance of this PLAN Mr..
Mathews points out, lis at once APP

not only of the channels, but of the
cities at their terminal points, and of
the country and carriers tributary to

the world of those goods which are
peculiarly suited to water transporta-
ton, and soon also to be connected

an even greater significance in that

a position to dominate as receiver and

THE MAN THAT HURRIES.
And the Man Who Keeps Cool and
Does Things Without Hurrying.

Il like to see a man quick about his
work" said Mr.. Quilkinton, but |
don't like a man who habitually hur-
rics."
The hurrying man gets on my
nerves. He grabs things up and slams
things down and makes a great show
Of doing things. For that matter the
earnest, mrrying man may actually
do things, but he often does chem at
the cost of an unnecessary cXpendi-
ture Of nervous force on his own
part, and am sure he must wear on
the nerves of other people around
him.
Now the hustler is a very different
proposition from the hurrying man,
and so also the man of energy. The
hustler is indeed a man of energy.
but he is one working, or commonly
so, within a comparatively narrow

Build the Canal Right !

With two vessels building for our
own navy each of 85.3 feet beam, it
would seem that 1OO-foot locks for
the Panama Canal were, indeed, too
narrow. The work done so far has
not committed the engineers to
locks of any set size. They ought,
therefore, t. be widened to the
farthest reasonable limit of naval
design, and if we are TO equal even
vessels of the Dreadnought class we
shall have to provide more than 100
feet Of width.
No one has offered an estimate Of
the probable extra cost. That,
however, is not the prime Considera-
ton. The estimated total cost of
the canal is about $4,000, 900. The
estimated income the first year is
not less than 100000 The re-
ceipts of the Suez Canal last year
exceeded 500, 10000 In such pro-
portions the extra cost of locks
wide enough for traffic, whether it
be S1,OOO,OOO or $4,000, 900, is not to
be weighed against the practical
value of accommodating all the
prospective vessels of our own
fleets, to say nothing of others.

To Every Mans Interest.

Every man in the District should
read. as a matter of his own pocket
book interest, the budget of esti-
mates completed by the District
Commissioners Saturday. Then,
when the purport of the recon-
mendations is grasped, everys man
in the District ought to put behind
those estimates all the influence he
can command. For unless the Sec
rotary of the Treasury and the two
District Committees of Congress are
brought to see the practical need
for every allowance proposed, the
District viii be helpless.
Being helpless as to these esti-
mates means being helpless as to
good government in the Capital of
the United States. Practically every
entry represents an essential to the
proper administration of District
affairs. The chief new items are
these:
For new school buildings, 1885,
600;
For a higE-pressure fire protec-
ton system, S750,OO
For the completion Of the Union
Sation Plaza, S15O,OOO;
For suburban and trunk sewers,
S355,35O;
For a hospital for chronic dis
eases, 100000;
For preliminaries to the recIama-
ton of the Anacostia flats and the
construction of a second aqueduct
to Great Falls. $4,000:
For 100 additional policemen,
SOC, OOs.
Most of these recommendation fall
within the classification of extraor-
binary expenditures, in the sense
that they are not incidental to the
administration of the government
for this year alone, and provide
benefits which viii continue for a

the public schools, the police sys-
tenn, the Health Office, and every
other branch of the government by
lending the remaining half of the
cost to the District at the accus-
toned rate of per cent. Let Dis
trict hOuseholders weigh these facts
as TO the neea Of them:
That thirt;-tw converted dwell
ings now serve the District of Co
lumbia as school houses;
That without completion of the
Plaza the new Union Station will
not only lack a proper setting, but
be clouded by dust in dry weather
and isolated in a sea of mud in wet
weather;
That District law forbids the resi-
dent of the county to build his own
sewer, and that minor sewers built
now must inevitably be supplanted
in the near future by trunk sewers;
That the present system of caring
for District patients in non-govern-
mental hospitals Is one of the most
costly and least satisfactory in the
United States;
That the day patrol force for the
entire seventy square miles of the
District of Columbia is less than
125 men.
The Times thinks the high-pres
sure fire protection service a less
urgent need than the others. 1t be-
lieves a survey for a second aque-
duct essential. As TO the recIama-
ton of the Anacostia flats, it would
urge the pressing Importance as
well as the entire feasibility of hav-
ing work progress while the inquiry
into the title is being conducted.
