6 ITS MEANING IS SERIOUS. Europeans Want to r rive American Ships From the Pacific. OUR POSITION HUMILIATING. Den. John B. Sanborn Sees the Im mense Danger to the Country's Carrying Trade. To the Editor of the Globe. The mass of the American people seem little to comprehend the magni tude of the question and the magnitude of the interests involved in the Samoan difficulties. There can be little ques tion that this is a movement of one or all of the European powers to drive our commerce from the Pacific ocean as it has been driven from the Atlantic, or reduce this nation lo a third or fourth class maritime power. It is not elevat ing or inspiring to American citizen ship to be compelled whenever one de sires to cross the Atlantic ocean to step under the protection of a foreign flag whenever he takes a single step beyond our own shores at any port on the At lantic coast; while it has been a matter of some pride and national elation that he could step aboard a steamer in the Bay of San Francisco, in which he could sail to distant continents under the protection of his own flag. The dis couraged PRIDE AND PATRIOTISM uf the American people has hitherto lin gered with some delight upon the thought that if the nation has been driven from the Atlantic ocean she still retained a strong hold upon the carry ing trade of the Pacific ocean, which, from this time forward, must necessa rily increase and grow until it becomes the great carrying trade of the world. "Now these European powers in sub stance say to the American people : "You shall not' reap this harvest, nor enjoy with us an equal share of its profit and glory ;" and the question whether we will .submit to this dictation must be met. The condition of the nation, so far as meeting this crisis is concerned, is hu miliating. Our seacoast fortifications are inadequate for the emergency; our navy is interior to that of any first class power; and if we have some ships, tor pedoes and gunboat?, they can not be at the same lime along 10,000 miles of coast. Our ocean commerce but little more than exists in name. OUR NATIONAL POLICY has been such that it has protected all Interests but the public interests, and has left those largely unprotected to the mercy of our enemies, and the legisla tive and executive departments of the government seem alike to stand para lyzed before the impending crisis. Peo ple of the most common intelligence know that ocean voyages of 0,000 miles cannot be made without intermediate harbors and coaling stations. These the United States have provided at the Sandwich and Samoan islands for the steamers plying between San Francisco and Sydney and Melbourne in Aus tralia. Must the government maintain and protect these acquired rights against the aggressions of any or all European powers? The people of this nation will answer WITH ONE VOICE that this must be done without regard to cost of life or treasure, and that policy of this nation which has reduced our tonnage on the sea from 58,345.009 in 1855 to 9,545.339 in 18.0 must be abandoned at once and forever. If it is the fixed policy of the nation to build up and encourage many industries against the few, which as a general policy is wise within certain limits, above all things let it be its fixed policy to build up this industry of the carrying trade— the largest . and most profitable industry of the word— giving employ ment to tens of thousands of our young men. and inducing.that feeling of inde pendence and pride on the part of every citizen of this republic which, wherever he is, makes him the peer of any other man on the globe. Respect fully yours, John B. Sanborn. Public Library Building. To the Editor of the Globe. The annual report of the directors of the St. Paul public library made by the president. Gov. Ramsey, the sth of March last, states: "While the accommodations in the public library building may do for the present, it is not too soon to make some provision for tne early fut ure. The rapid growth of the city, and consequent larger demand, for library facilities, already suggest that the coun cil should acquire a site and make pro vision for the erection of a building, se lecting from the various institutions of this kind the best plan for its construc tion, so that when our departure from the city hall for any cause is made nec essary the work may promptly done." In conformity with this conservative plan a bill has been submitted to the legislative delegation calling for bonds to the amount of $100,000. or so much thereof as may he required to purchase a site, with authority for the council to issue .250,000 of bonds, not sooner than 1891, for a library building. It is economical to give the library directors ample time to prepare to build. Under this plan it will be seven years before a library building will be ready for use, and by that time, if not before, the room set apart for the library in the court house will be wanted for city and county offices. This will increase the debt somewhat, but the same objection will arise in two years hence, in four years hence, and so on. Our West side .friends will get bonds for the Broadway bridge— they always get what they want. Other projects will go through, but the public library project is liable to fail for lack of public spirit. Can St. Paul, as the capital of the state, afford to remain behind Minneapolis in such an enterprise? The beautiful new brown stone library building in Minneapolis cost $175,000, and the site is worth $200, --000 besidds, but I doubt whether two persons in every thousand in St. Paul have ever seen it. A good public library will attract people of capital to the city, but we shall never get one till we get a suitable building to hold it. This proj ect has been before the chamber of commerce for about a year, and has been strongly indorsed by that body. The press of the city has repeatedly com mended it, and our legislative delega tion ought to understand that the intel ligent public opinion of the city favors it. Citizen. GOT THEIR DESERTS. The Workingmeii Themselves to Blame for Their Loss. To the Editor of the Globe. Judging from the interviews the Globe had with some of the promi nent ilabor leaders, and published one day last week, one is forced to the be lief that there is yet room for the labor ing men in the field of education. Mr. McGaughey says that the "eight-hour question was not an issue in the last campaign.'' If the eight hour law was not an issue in the last municipal cam paign then there never was an issue in a campaign in America, the men whose opinions are of great weight with laboring men to the contrary notwith standing. The Republican members of the council with two exceptions voted against every measure that was intro duced in the interest of labor and the Democratic members with one exception voted for every measure that was passed for the benefit of labor, and Mayor Ames never was known te veto a meas ure that had for its mission the benefit of toiling millions. If the two parties were not divided on this question, the Republicans against the laboring man's interest and the Democrats on the side of the wageworkers, will some of the men who supported the republi can candidates explain? The coun cil in abolishing the eight-hour law did just what the people demanded. The Republican party's stand in the city council was sustained at the polls and the Democratic party's repudiated . This might not appear quite so bad if it were not < for the fact that it was the laboring men's votes that were respon sible for this result. Here we had a party that might have made mistakes, but it was the only party that ever passed any laws looking to the amelior ation of labor, receiving an ignominious defeat by the very men whose cause they upheld. Take, for example, Hon. A. A. Ames. He has sacrificed his bus iness interests and blasted : a magnifi cent political future on the altar of labor, and he is to-day the most thor oughly ostracised man in Minneapolis, and ostracised by the very men Whose cause, lie espoused. Why, the contract ors passed around "stickers" to put over ; Ames' name among their employes, and the mean sycophants took them and used them. The laboring men are get ting what they voted for, and there can be no just reason for . complaint for the action of our present city council. The Globe is right when it says that it will be ten years before the lost ground will be regained. It will be more, for men will be very slo\v to take up the cause of men who will desert their friends in time of need and go to the enemy, as was done in this municipal election. ~i - -\ p i Prole aire. Minneapolis, Jan. 30. SANGUINE THOMAS GARTER Montana's New Delegate Says the Ter ritory Is Safely Republican. CLEVELAND'S MISSIONARIES. He Thinks Were a Potent Influence in Taming the Mountain State Over. Special to the Globe. Washington, Jan. Montana's choice is here. Whoever meets with Delegate-elect Thomas H. Carter, of Helena, must recognize him as one of the superior men of this country. Mr. Carter was an lowa man until 1881. He lived in Burlington, but wanted to go west and grow up with the country, and he did so. No young man ever got to the front in anew country any faster than Mr. Carter did in Montana. But Delegate Voorhees, of Washington, kept pace with him. Mr. Carter says that Montana "has a population which is nearer 200,000 than 175,000, as is com monly claimed. lam glad," he adds, "that the people are beginning to un derstand what an empire our territory is.. It is time for our admission to the Union. We were ready for admission nearly five years ago. If admitted we should have progressed more rapidly. It is a mistake, a popular fallacy, to pre sume that Montana is rich only in min eral and grazing lands. We have good, productive agricultural lands, tens "of thousands of acres being open to set tlement under the pre-emption and homestead laws. We have all that man can reasonably ask or wish for suste nance, comfort and wealth." "How long will Montana be Repub lican?" "That is a question which the oldest inhabitant cannot answer ex-cathedra. The territory has been going Demo cratic as regularly and certainly as Mis sissippi for the past twenty-four years. Our present delegate, Mr. Toole, was elected in 1886 by the Democrats by a majority of about 4,000." "Can you tell what has changed the political complexion of the territory?" "The principal cause for the large majority given to the Republican ticket in '88 has been stated on the-floor of the house within the pas'; few days by Dele gate Toole. Our people were not only dissatisfied, but disgusted, with Cleve land's carpet-bag appointments. They were unwise, and not in accord with the pledges of the platform of '84. Instead of giving our territorial offices to our own people, he insulted our intelligence by subjecting 113 to the importation of Southern brigadiers and worn out poli ticians from the states. It was simply unendurable. The wonder is that there were any Democratic votes cast at all at the last election." "Will Montana maintain her present 5,000 Republican majority?" "She has not so large a majority as that. Circumstances conspired to in duce many Democrats to vote the Re publican ticket this iast time. Hence, the recent election is no criterion for the future, except incidentally. The Republican vote has increased gradu ally, ami we have now about 2,500 ma jority. Admission by Republican action, under a Republican administration, will increase the majority. It is probable that when we elect our member of con gress next November, we will give him a Republican majority of between 4,000 and 5,000. I regard the new state as safely Republican. We have been wait in., watching, honing and praying for admission during the past four years, and the Democratic party has actually sneered at us. We are tired of that sort of treatment, all of us. A great many men in Montana have voted the Demo cratic ticket for the last time, simply because they are energetic, manly, and cannot tamely submit to the ignominy ot disregard which the Democratic administration lias put upon us. We know when we are sat down on real hard, and we all know that Grover Cleveland sat down aud spat down upon us. We also know that the Dem ocratic chairman of the committee on territories of the house ignored us and delayed our admission, solely because he had predetermined that New Mexico shall come into the Union with us." mm Finest Train to Washingtno.

THE COMMERCIAL RECORD. Big Brills Frighten the Shorts Into Cov ering and May Wheat Gains a Point. Oats Slow and Steady, Corn Slightly Higher, the Trade in Provisions Being Light. Financial Operations in the Monetary Centers— The General Quo tations. Special to the Globe. .'-•_••_- Chicago, Jan. 30.— wheat market, which started strong and sold at %c advance early, weakened before noon to a point about . _c under the close last night and then sold straight up l%c before 12:30 p. m. Bear news was brought ail the way from Odessa, where it is said the port is free of ice and that free shipments of Russian wheat may be expected. The market here was very sensitive, and started up or down easily on a few bold trades. Hutchinson was a buyer on the first bulge of the morning. When the market appeared to reach a turning point and started downward the crowd sold freely. There was selling by longs, and this encour aged selling short by the scalpers, big and little. After the prise had gone off about lc from the top early, Mitchell plunged in as a buyer aud set the shorts to covering. This, was the turning point of the day -and prices advanced quite sharply, and shortly before 1 p m., the market seemed strong at an advance of l%c over last night. The action for May here was 97% cto 97c, to 97% c, to 967.C, to 977^c, to 97% c, to 98i_c. Receipts here were thirty-two cars.with eight cars No. 2 spring. Wheat closed fairly firm, with May at 98% c, or lc over last night. There was no special activity in corn, but there was a good demand and higher prices for near futures. Receipts were 226 cars. Shipments from here were 57,000 bushels. Grading was slightly improved, with eleven cars of No. 2 and but forty-four cars of No. 4. There was no new feature in oats, and sales for future delivery were slow. Prices were a trifle easier early, but closings were about steady. Receipts ninety-four cars. The trade in provisions was comparatively light. The market had a firmer tone and prices ruled higher, with the packers gen erally on the buying side. THE ROUTINE REPORT. Chicago. Jan. 30.— A good speculative business was transacted in wheat, and the feeiiug was unsettlod and somewhat nervous. Trading was largely on home account, and the influences governing the' market princi pally local. Prices were advanced IV2C, and closed lMsc higher than yesterday. There was fair selling early in the day, but later buyers became quite general and credited to some large floor traders. The offerings were readily absorbed, and at times there was but little wheat on sale. There were some export orders on the market at New York about 1© 2c below the present market, and it was ru mored that six boat loads had been taken at Baltimore. A little better feeling was devel oped in corn, and the volume of business was larger than for some days. Trading was largely in the nearer deliveries, and these futures exhibited the most strength, the premium of May being reduced about %c. Opening sales were at about yester day's closing price; market being Inactive for a time, then advanced %@%c, reacted a trifle, and closed %@%c higher than yester day. There was quite free offerings ,pf May at 37c, aud all orders to sell at that figure were unexecuted, so liberal were the offerings. Oats were firmer, with moderate trading, and an advance of about %c. In mess pork trad ing was fairly active. The market opened firmer and 7%c higher, receded 2%®5c, but quickly turned upward, and an advance of _0@22%c was recorded. The appreciation brought ont liberal realizing by parties who bought on the recent break and, a recession of 7%©10 c followed. Continued fair buying caused a rally to previous outside figures, and the market closed steady. Lard was iv moderate demand and stronger.

Speculators are still awaiting the final outcome of the efforts to create harmony among . the railroads in the West, and while new buying of securities is confined almost exclusively to bonds, no movement is made in the stock market. After the little spurt of yesterday the market drifted back again into the most extreme dullness to-day, and the dealings were principally scalping for eighths and covering operations of the smaller bears. The business dona was only abou ttwo thirds of that of yesterday, and four stocks monopolized the greater portion of that. A drive was made at Atchi son principally for Boston account, but the result of the attack was insignificant. Bos ton, while bearish upon Atchison, is bullish upon New England, and the latter stock came into prominence to-day and showed more strength than any active stocks, and is the only one of them showing a marked im provement this evening. The directors of the Delaware & Hudson passed a resolution increasing the rate of dividend to 7 per cent, and that stock again moved up materially, although the advance brought out some stock, and it closed something off from the best price. The action had no effect what ever upon the other dealers, although Read ing and Lackawanna were prominent in the dealings throughout the day, fluctuating, however, within the narrowest limits. The specialties were strongest, and all the marked improvements were made in those stocks. Big Four being the most prominent for the strength 1 displayed and closing at its highest figure. The opening prices were somewhat irregular 1 but generally lower as compared with the final figures of last evening, and Atchison developing decided weakness is the early trading slight further losses were sustained over most of the list. The trading was con fined to about a half-dozen stocks, and the weak tone quickly disappeared, everything except Atchinson soon reaching higher fig ures than those of the opening. The fluctu ations were confined to the smallest fractions and the market drifted into the most intense dullness, which continued unrelieved except by the strength developed in a few stocks until the : close, the toue continuing firm throughout and becoming more pronounced as the day wore along. The market closed dull but firm generally at about the best fig ures. The final changes in the active stocks was somewhat irregular and for small frac tions,- except advances of 3>_c in Big Four, and 1 per cent in New England. The railroad bonds were still very active, al though the aggregate of the sales showed a marked falling off from that of the past two days. The Reading issues were still the leaders for activity, notwithstanding that their totals were much reduced, and the Fort Worth & Denver Ists also became promi nently active. The Reading 4s contributed $377,000, the Ists $139,000, the 2nds $142, --000 and the Fort Worth & Denver Ists $199,000 to the full day's total of $2,717, --000. The tone of the dealings was not un varyingly strong to-day and some bonds are lower, hut most of the list show advances, and Jersey Central convertibles rose 2Vt to 125; Morris & Essex 7s of 1900, 2_ to 125 and Illinois Central 3*_t, 3% to 95.

Sample tables presented a moderate quan tity of good wheat for sale in the morning, and sellers were rushing around for custom ers with a little more energy in consequence. There was no perceptible improvement in the demand, however, and the aggregate sales for the day were not large. The early tend ency to show a little, more firmness in asking prices was soon checked, and sellers were content with previous quotations. Receipts for the day were 102 cars, and 63 were shipped out. Duluth reported 70 on track. There was some demand for No. 1 northern , from local milters, but outsiders were less active than usual. 'here was a firmer tone to the wheat market in the morning, due perhaps to a natural reaction from Tuesday's sharp tali. Some outside orders were coming in. and the local scalping crowd was inclined .to expect a rise. Trading was not active, but first sales of May were made at $1.03%. and iv half an hour after wards that option was selling at $1.04. News was ■ scarce, and Chicago dispatches were bearish, many of the leaders there being credited with heavy selling. Receipts are large for the season here, and this has a de pressing influence, though any support from outside points would soon bring- about a rise in prices.
