because if any enemy's battleships
were able to block the passes they
would probably be powerful enough to
force passage through them and
take possession of this city.
1t will be noted that Mr.. Meyer
recommends the closing only of the
naval stations located in the south.
He says it is not advisable to close
the yards at New York, Boston, Ports
mouth and Philadelphia. OF course
not. for it is the purpose of sectional
administration to have the bulk Of the
money appropriated by congress for
the construction and repair of war

states which, for years have prosperei

Will Vermont Nullify
The Constitution.

II has been many years since South
Carolina passed an act OF the legisla-
ture multiplying the constitution of the
United States and was brow beaten
into submission by President Jackson.
The entire country, SO history records,
approved of the act Of "Old Hickory.
The New England states, of which
Vermont Is one, has never forgotten
the incident and has been harping
about it ever since. They love to ap-
ply the word traitor to the south in
general and to South Carolina in par
ticular.
Just now the legislature of state
Is trying to pass law multiplying the
constitution. but it Is not South Caro-
lima this time. Speak gently; it is
Vermont.
Up in the Green Mountain state,
where little else will grow, the thrifty
farmers have been doing thriving
business selling spruce trees to the
rest of the country for Christmas
trees. The Vermonters propose to
levy q tax OF twenty-five cents each on
every Christmas tree shipped out of
the state.
The idea is TO conserve the forests
and ut the same time raise a revenue.
Both of these things are very COM
mendable. But the constitution OF
the United States says that mo tax
or duty shall be laid upon articles ex-
ported from any state.
New England has threatened nulli-
flcation before and in days that are
remembered by persons still living,
violated the constitution at every
turn, but this is the nearest approach
to legislative notification any of these
states ever reached.
Santa Claus ought to take revenge
by not filling any stockings in the
Green Mountain state.

Taking The Tariff
Out of Politics.

Every now and then We hear, what
seems to be an assinine proposition,
that the tariff must be taken out OF
politics. This is usually made by
some advocate of the high protective
tariff and they are merely repeating
what has been said to them by the
great beneficiaries of the present iE-
y iQuitous system.

will remain in politics for some years
at least.
AS for that matter, it will be inn
possible for a Democratic congress or
any other kind of congress to enact
a perfectly just and equitable tariff
law at the first trial. There will of
necessity be compromises and there
will perhaps be experiments. These
will have to be adjusted from time to
time, and until human ingenuity can
devise some other and better way to
raise revenue or can invent a system
of government that will require no
revenue, thus giving an opportunity
for absolute freedom of trade between
all the SONS of man, the tariff will be
in politics.
And in speaking of free trade, it
may be well to remark, parentheti-
cally, that no party, nor no set of men
in this country, ever desired or ever
asked for free trade. The word and
all that it implies was invented as a
bug bear and has been used for de-
cades by the robber tariff barons to
| brighten the ignorant, whenever tariff
reform was mentioned.
The word has lost its terror and the
tariff robber barons have now to rely
on their own creatures in congress to
unblushingly serve the masters which
own them, without excuse.

On the evening of that following day
in May, the sun hung red and round
over a distant unknown land along
the Rio Grande. In that country, no
iron trails as yet had come. The mag
ic of the wire, SO recently applied to
the service of man, was as yet there
unknown. Word travelled slowly by
horses and mules and carts. There
came small news from that far-off
country, half tropic, covered with
palms and crooked dwarfed growth Of
mesquite and chaparral. The long
horned cattle lived in these dense
thickets, the spotted jaguar, the wolf,
the ,ocelot, the javelina, many small
er creatures not known in our north
ern lands. In the loan along the
stream the deer left their tracks, min
gled with those of the wild turkeys
and of countless water fowl. 1t was
a far-off, unknown, unvalued land.
Our flag, long past the Sabine, had
halted at the Nueces. Now it was to
advance across this wild region to the
Rio Grande. Thus did SNUG James
Polk keep his promises!
Among these tangled mesquite
thickets ran sometimes long bayous,
made from the overflow Of the greater
