A Wall from Wall Street.
There' In a wealth of instructive satire
Jn a letter from "Wall Street" which ap
pears In the Philadelphia Times. It
is a protest of the ' business Interests"
of the country aftalnst the effort of
rongrena to help the people of Cuba.
"XVv are known to the world," the writ
er observes, "as a hard-working, com
mercial people, with a better knowl
edge of maklns money tlfnn waging
war; our time and attention being
given to increasing commerce and our
Individual bank accounts. AVhy should
we do that which would interfere with
our business prospects, and do much to
undo the reputation we have gained as
miaiey-mnkers?' The simple rumor
of war' causes a decline in stocks,
bringing a loss to all those who were
conscientiously speculating In margins
, on Wall street, and If only a rumor of
difflculty caused this, what would be
the loss to that great Industry If hos
tilities actually occurred? Is it to be
come the rule of our legislators to In
terfere with every gross act of . Inhu
manity and terrible atrocity that takes
place at our front doors? A thousand
' times no. If our stock speculations and
other legitimate business of a like class
are to receive such a rude blow."
Continuing, the writer says:
1rft the Spaniards act In the most out
riiKeous milliner thoy leslre In I'nhii.
tturely thn C'ubuna ure their own chll
ilren and we should nut meddle with their
family affairs. They have had tho repu
tation for some hundreds of years of lie
inff Inhuman In the 'treatment of their
colonies und no act of this country can
hHHKM them. Why, then, should we dis
turb ourselves? What henetlt can It be
to this country to attempt to wash the
dirty linen of Kpain that has been allowed
to accumulate In Cuba for two or throe
centuries? If the Spanish novernment
thinks It to their advantage to put down
the rebellion by shooting political prison
ers, braining defenseless women and other
tion-combatunts, exiling suspects to dead
ly African colonies and other Inhuman
and atrocious nets, pray let them do, It.
It Is none of our uffalr. and we are not
unswerable for .Spain's sins. These ideas
would probably not have agreed with the
patriotic and humane feelings that were
once paramount in this country, but, pray,
why place patriotism und humanity ahead
Of our bank accounts? We do not Increase
our revenues by catering to either of the
so-called virtues. I.et the Oduii patriots
reach out their supplicating arms ami cry
for succor and help from the Inhuman
cruelties being Indicted upon them, but
for the sake of buriness let them "leave
us In peace," for "tills Is our busy day."
This doesn't sound pulte as attrac
tive as ilo some of the inure carefully
drawn eilltorluls In the New York Kve
niug Tost, the Philadelphia Itccord and
other so-culled nnti-jingo journals
which tremble dally lest the stock mar
ket should lose a point through pa
triotic work at Washington, but that
Is because it is more honest. It says
what the cuckoos only think.
It Is generally agreed that Tom Reed
la conducting his speakership entirely
Independent of his presidential boom.
This will not hurt him with the people.
The people like manly men, not dough
faces or trimmers.
Another Railroad Wrecked.
It waa not io very long ago, no long
er than the hey day of John W. Oar-
. rett'a administration, when the owner
of stock in the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road would not have traded his secur
ity for a government bond. Now, the
road, which then had a cash surplus
fund of $44,000,000, cannot borrow $400,
000 with which to meet current Interest
charges, and has gone into a receiver
ship, with some talk of making an as
sessment equal to 40 or GO cents on the
dollar of stock. .
This deterioration is the work of less
than act) re of year, arid, lias come
not through any Inevitable loss of busi
ness by reason of Increased competition
for the Baltimore and Ohio is stljl
the great artery of commerce between
Chicago and Baltimore that It was In
Its founder's time but through care
less If not criminal mismanagement.
The road haa become the plaything of
, Imbeciles) and . the sport of amateurs.
. When the younger Garrett took hold,
he algnallted his elevation by scatter
ing money rlgfffand left; and It was
not long until - the "complications be
came such that a new system of book
keeping had to be Introduced to con
." ' ceal them. . The sequel", to far aa Rob
ert Garrett waa concerned, waa mad
' mm; . ao far aa the treat property,
whose management he had Inherited
was concerned, the sequel Is collapse.
The sliuine of this, as of similar in
stances of fallroud looting, is that the
heaviest tjwiden will fall uiHin shoulders
least lifted to bear it; that is to sny,
upon tho nhoulders of the small stock
holdersof widows whose savings are
invested In Baltimore and Ohio stock,
and of orphuns whose inheritances
consist of the same kind of securities.
These helpless persons, without the
means to co-operate in costly schemes
for the road's reorganization, have
simply been robbed robbed Just as
meanly, basely and criminally as if
the high-flying looters in the company's
headquarters had taken pistols and
held them up to the highwayman's tune
of "stand and dellver.If the law can
visit Justice upon thewreckers.lt ahould
do so; If hot, the public ahould be in

There la sold to be a likelihood that
Olney will resign because of the presl
ilent's .Bnub over the Cuban matter.
Olney would take with him from pub
lic life the brains of the present cab
inet. Why Our Oold (Joes Out. .
The ChU-ago Record calls timely at
tention to a source of gold outgo which
Is generally overlooked, namely, the
sums paid for the transportation of our
exports and imports. In 1895 our ex
ports carried by foreign vessels amount
ed to 087.ri.1f.,ii22 and our Imports, simi
larly carried, to $590,510,308, a total of
$l,278.04G,lo0. for the transportation of
which we paid the foreign ship-owners
in gold.
"There Is," says the Record, "some
slight differences In the estimated
amount . of these freight charges, the
estimates) being from 11 to per cent,
of the value of the goods. On bulky
raw materials, like wheat and lumber,
the freight charges would be consider
ably In excess of that estimate, while on
finished and compact manufactured ar
ticles, like watches and cloths, they
would be considerably less. An esti
mate of 10 per cent, gives $127,804,61:1 as
the sum paid in a single year to foreign
ship-owners for the transportation of
our Imports and exports. This leaves
entirely out of consideration the amount
paid for land transportation to foreign
railroad companies, which was con
siderable. "The year 1S9. was not an exceptional
one. That year 8S.8 per cent, of all our
imports and exports were carried In
foreign bottoms, and in 1S'J4 the percent
age wan 80.6, which was the smallest
since 1886. If It should be contended
that the consumer pays the freight and
that in reality the American pays only
the freight on what he Imports we
should even In that case pay the foreign
vessel-owner an annual charge of $59,
051,030 for Import-vessel freight alone.
Klther of these sums is sufficiently large
to speedily consume an entire bond Issue
of $50,000,000 or $100,000,000. The remedy
for this unfavorable condition of our
commerce is the building up of our
merchant marine. We now have 430
steam vessels on the high seas, as
against 0.7.15 belonging to Great Britain
and 810 belonging to Germany. We
ought to become able to do our own
carrying; trade."
This covers the entire ground, leav
ing nothing to be added. We shall not
realize our aspirations for an expanded
foreign trade until we shall have a suf
llcicnt lleet of American merchantmen
on the high seas to carry every pound
of American made goods to its foreign
destination, and do some extra trading
beside.
Aid now the story goes that David
Martin also will run for the state sen
ate. It is well to have the principals
themselveti In the field. Probably Quay
would run. too, If he were not already
lu a larger senate.
A Negligent Habit.
Notwithstanding the dulcet notes of
thone who dream that war Is a van
ished nightmure of the past, there are
some old-fashioned folk who continue
to believe that it would be good econ
omy if congress ohould provide liberal
ly for coast defences, and do so in
due season. The Baltimore American
Is one of the Journals which coincides
with this latter view. It recognizes
that neither modern arms nor ammu
nition niiltuble to a proper defence of
the Jeaporded coast cltle of our coun
try can be Improvlshed In the face
of danger, but instead require long pe
riods of time for their manufacture.
They oiso cost a great deal of money;
but they tire lnlisjHnsulde If danger
does threaten. When we need them,
we need them greatly; and the Item of
cost is then regarded with disdain. The
America ii nays:
"Congress after congress has neg
lected this very plain duty, under
tlu Impression, probably, that wur
with n, foreign country was on
Impossibility. Recent events have
shown the country that war Is not
only a possibility, but that It may come
when least expected, and when, unless
precautions have been taken, years
may elapse before an effective defense
can be made. Under ftuch circum
stances to pursue a niggardly policy
is the height of unwisdom, and makes
congress criminally culpable. To talk
of economy is very like the farmer
who declines to patch the leaking roof
of a granary that is filled with wheat.
It will require millions to provide suf
ficient armament for coast defense, but
unless the money is appropriated bil
lions may be required to make good the
damage caused by neglect. Congress
could scarcely make a more popular
use of the public funds, and certainly
not a more judicious use than to pro
vide for the safety of the nation.
"The choice of peace or war is not al
ways at the disposal of the govern
ment. Wara arise from the actions of
foreign countries sometimes, and are
unavoidable. ' Steam and electricity
have brought the nations of the earth
much closer together than they ever
were In the past, while there is not
the evidence of an Increased desire for
peace which some people seem to Im
agine. The armaments of the civilized
world are on a more colossal scale than
ever before, and wara are quite as fre
quent a they ever were. There Is such
a thing, therefore, as being dragged
Into a war in spite of the utmost ef
forts to keep out of It. Bhouldsuch a
thine occur, It, would be a pitiful de
fense' to aay. that no efforts had been
mado to defend the coast, because 11
was more :ulltlc to expend the public
moneys inoiher wnjs and n;uke r.
bogus record of economy."
It Is possible that the present con
gress will ri'inuln ilenf to all entreaties
along this line; but when the pimple
choose Its successor they should do so
Intelligently.
"lie has got everything for It but a
good backbone," Is Renator Cullom's
terse characterization of Alllson'n fit
ness for the presidency. But a back
bone Is essential. Presumably Mr.
Culiom knows where one can be found.
Our Sybaritic Senate.
Senator Chandler is an economist
who believes that economy, like charity,
should begin at home. Tho extrava
gance of the senate is a theme to which
lie has been giving caustic attention,
and some of his conclusions are cal
culated to make him unpopular with
his senatorial confreres.
Not counting the senators themselves,
he finds that the total number of sen
ate employes Is J53, at a cost per un
num of $4S2,000. In 1S87, the cost of the
senate force wa3 only $:!17,:!1, while the
necessary work was Just ns abundant
then as now. Taking mileage und In
cidentals also Into account, the net In
crease In senate expenses in the past
nine years, has been S200.9GS. Mr.
Chandler cannot see wherein the legiti
mate business of the senate hus ex
panded sufficiently to warrant this vast
acceleration In expenditures, and la
therefore resolved upon an official lu
quiry. it Is Impossible," says he. In a letter
to the two chairmen of senate commit
tees having the subject In charge, "that
the public service requires such outlays.
The senate wing of the capltol is kept
In repair by the architect and guarded
by the capitol police. For the comfort
within the senate wing of ninety sena
tors, and to enable them to perform
their functions, it cannot be possible
that 3:18 officers and employes, at an
annual salary of $460,000, ure necessary,
and In addition other expenses amount
ing to $165,000. There Is fault In some
one; I do not know whom; there Is ex
travagance somewhere; I do not pre
tend to know exactly in what place.
But In this crisis of diminishing rev
enues and hard times for the poor the
senate should set an ewample of re
trenchment; and I hope you will cheer
fully and efficiently labor under the au
thority of the senate for the promotion
of much-needed economy and reform."
In this hope the country cordially
Joins the senator from New Hampshire.
That was a good point which 8enator
Culiom made when, speaking of the re
cent subsidence of the Populist move
ment which three or four years ago
swept many Western Republicans from
their feet, he said: "A party man re
quires to be firmest in the cyclone and
nut afraid of the squall." Several poli
ticians of note would be better off than
they are, if they had never stepped
aside from this principle.
WHY EXCLAXD WON'T FIGHT.
From the Chicago Record.
Outside of her own colonies America fur
nishes the largest and most profitable
market for British merchandise. Of the
total imports of Great Britain over 30 per
cent, is furnished by the western hemi
sphere and of her total exports over l!4
per cent. Is sold there. The following
table shows the commerce of Oreut Brit
ain with the countries that would very
likely become Involved In any hostilities

In addition to this the commerce be
tween lireat Britain and the l ulled ftlalej
amounts annually to over 0iKMHh,ik)U,
three-fourths of which are food products
from our farms, which would be greatly
missed bv her people In case trade was
Interrupted by war. It Is known to all
students of history that the foreign policy
or ilreat Britain has always been commer
cial; that the anxiety of the British mer
chant and manufacturer to get 0 per cent,
on their money has been the motive for
the extension of the colonial system of
that little island, and that tin; conquest of
India and Africa has been not so much
for the evangelization of the heathen or
the Kratllication of ambition as to find
purchasers for the prints of Mam hosier
ami the hardware of Birmingham. Any
thing that would Interfere with this policy
would not only be exceedingly unpopular
with the entire British people, but no min
istry would be sustained that would light
to lose instead of gain markets.

A EF.1 OF TIIF. TIMF.S.
Prom the Norrlstown Herald.
One of the most remarkable omissions In
connection with the administration of tho
United Slates government for more than a
century. Is the failure lo establish a per
manent census bureau.
Any person of intelligence can perceive
the difficulty of attaining correct results
by a census bureau organized temporarily
as the time approaches for the enumera
tion of Inhabitants required by the consti
tution every tenth year. The Vniled
States census reports In tho past have
been notoriously unreliable, and steps
should be taken to Improve them in this
respect.
To do this a permanent census office
should be established, and the proper
legislation forthcoming at the present ses
sion of congress, so that the census of
19oo may be prompt, accurate and satis
factory In every respect.

From the Fllmira Advertiser.
With each passing week the prospect for
a lively time at the St. Louis convention
grows brighter and brighter. Already
there are In the field for (he Republican
presidential nomination not only the big

to which might now be added a big fifth
Quay but in addition there are thirteen
minor candidates mentioned, representing
ten different states.
It is evident that a great game of chess
Is to be played In St. Louis. None of
these minor candidates has any Idea that
the lightning will strike his llghtnlng-rod,
but he doe have an idea that the leading
candidate ard successful candidate will
have l make connections Willi his llght-lilng-rod
