"I have urged the Impoitance of the government's adopting a standaid of Htieugth foi Its military foice.s that should be commensurate with the In tel esta of the government in Its giowth and development, und pioportionate to its papulation and wealth. Spasmodic violation trom ,1 wiuk nnd Ineffective aimy to 0110 of gigantic proportions does not hocm to be best for the wel fare and safety of the nation, and I think it more Judicious for tho fc&v em inent o fix a certain uercomjco of tialned military men In pioportiou to the population. The auny vvoula theie 1 have a moio healthy giowth as tho nation develops. In fact this syjum. if once adopted, would bo aw piacllu able for one bundled years as for a nlnglo decade. The nit of war was never so much an exact science as nt the presMnt time. Tho appliances used In modern warfare aie constantly ohanelnc. and are steadily increasing In effective force; so that It Is of the utmost Importance that the govern ment should have the most skilled and e indent forces practicable. I therefore p new my foimer recommendation that the covernment authoilzc enlistments In the iimy at the rate of one soldier to nvery 1,000 of the population." General Miles also ttcoiu-nfiiids that congress authorize an auxillaiy force of native troops, to be titllcered prin cipally by United States olllcers, for HP-vice In I'orto Illco, Cuba nnd tho Philippines, not to exceed two soldiers to eveiy 1,000 ot the population of those Islands. "ThK" says lie, "would give lite United Slates n most valuable aux iliary foi re It wnild pacify tho native tlamentp ot the islands, and would be . in tho Interests ot ucott. my and good covernment. This force could be used In u way similar to the mounted police In Canada and the Urltlsh forces In Uk!1 nnd ltidlu."

The Chicago Way. While c-citnln long-winded theoiists in the east are proelamlng monoton uotisly their despair of the lepubllo if eNpanslnn takes plaie, the cntcrprls lil t moichalits of Chlcigo are alteady holding inejtinss to consider how to get their shaio or moie ot th" tiade of our new island dependencies, A notable discussion eoveiing this pine tleil iiuestloii vmis held last Week be fore tho Meichnntii club, of the AVln dy City, and th. addresses dcllveied upon that oteaslon aie wot thy of w lilespi '-ad notice. The ill st ipenkei. Stuyvet-ant rish, had not oiiglnally favored expansion but now that It Is nsr.uied he thought the thing o do was to pitch In and inah" It a sue cess. To this end, mer chants should study the peculiarities of the new mnrkts and prepaie to meet them. 'A siml-auiiual ttaveling salesman, w'th tiunks of aiiiplep, will not divert ttr.de fi- 111 Its juesent chan nels. Warehouses, sample-looms, lib el ul ei edits, a deslie to pleat and at honesty of purpose to punlde the best In each particular line can alone accomplish the tleshed end." The gov ernment, too. must help. It must cut the Nltaraguu ouual nnd vote liberal subsidies fur a levhul Ameilcan mer chant marine. On the lnttei topic Mr. Fish said: "The value ol our fmelgn commerce the last :,eai was M.S17.O0O, 000, of which 91 per cent or tl.tiSO.OOO, 000 vv.n paid out for ttansportatlon This ot Itself is suiilcicnt t" ecuilp and maintain a laige Industry and employ thouands of idle hands tt Is moie than double the amounts ol the dividends of all the lailroads In the United States Were we to pio vld a meichnnt mailne sufllclent to transport the whole or n laige pait ot tills business, from what we knov. of the lews of Undo, wo would be safe In exrieting that the competi tion which it would beget with exist ing can Its would 1 educe eairylng ehnigcs by as much as 10 pel cent Here would be a savinrr in the trans port ition of last vnr'j. commerce alone ot $16,00,000, a sum uinclent, If given in siib'-ldles or subventions, to Indute private enterprise to establish .steam ship lines nil over the vvoild. Yet It Is not too far-fotched to say that we are losing that amount each year, aside from the gieat loss incident to the embaigo plnied upon our- tiade and industries. If one. sixth of the amount weie given nnnuallv towaid the maintenance of a 11101 chant marine wo would develop a foreign commerce that would be a maivel of t'ie age. v e would glow in gieitness and pros peiilv at home, and as a nation ut taln a dignity abto-id which no wais, however successful, could give." nllicr peiiKer was William U. Cuitl, the Warhlngto'i eoiiespondent. Aftei nlludliu to the blundeis ledeem ed by the ?loilous hciolsm of the SpanlU Ametlean wai he went on. "We aie now- about to pass another national iesponloilitv in a dlieetlon where wo have no e.xpeilence what ever.

This Increased gain for one year exceeds In value tho entire foreign trade of the United Statept for any year preceding 1SS0. The total of the Imports and exports for the calendar vent- will be over thiee times greater In value than for any year be roie the war. and In quantities five times greater 0 All nails of the eountiy nie sharing In this Increase, but partlculaily the Middle Stutes and the West. And yet the nation Is Just entering Its period of greatest activity and ptosperlty. The eloud that has hung over tho land be cause of tho attuck on our sound money svstom and the ptotectlvc tariff was only partly removed by the election of President McKtnley. Hut the election last week of a congress Republican in both brnnches has dispelled the shadow and f4ouiui money and a protective tariff ate assured for many vears to come. This means a more rapid Indus trial growth, which will be accelerated when the questions gi owing out of the war nie settled, and trade ouencd on permnnent lines with the nations new possessions. It takes considerable time to recover fully from the blight of Demoeiatle mle and Democintle at tack? on sound money nnd a protective tnilff. but tho tiade statistics show- that the nation Is now rapidly recover ing and soon will be on the high tide of prosperity where It was when the Democratic paity succeeded In tho elec tions In 189J and brought reverses which proved n calamity gi eater In cost than the Civil war. 0 One thing moie In the way of legisla tion Is verv much needed to inciease the nation's prosperity, and that Is the iestoratlon of our mei chant mnrlne In the forelcn trade. This can only be done by applying to that trade the same system of protection that has brought such glorloui' tcsults In out coastwise shipping nnd domestic Indus tries. Tills enormous giowth of trade and population since the war hns been due to a protective tat Iff. The one Im poitant Industry not protected Is that of shipping engaged in the foreign trade. It hag declined steadily, as anv other Industtv ooun to foreign com petition would have done. There was no tin plate Industry in tho United States until It was given protection Steel talis, wire nails, gik nnd numer ous other Industiies have been built up In the same way. liut our shipowners engaged in the foreign tiade have been left to contend with the woipt kind of foreign competition, and. of couise, they have succumbed. The result Is that the nation Is paying hundieds of millions of dollais eveiy jear to for eigners to cairy our goods. When that is stopped and the United States has Its- fair shaie of that trade with the consequent now markets that It will bilng, we may expect the greatest pros perity the nation has ever known. We should not be content until that point has been leaihed. ELECTIONS SHOULD ELECT. Kiom the Philadelphia Tlmi!.
