et nl O O. How-aid. ictlred, thinks that
our permanent military foice should be
at least 02,000 sttong; Adjutant Geneinl

ho mentions no limit; and, finally, the
inujoi geneial cummandlng lenevvs his
suggestion that, the regular army bo
organized on the basH of one soldier to
each 1,000 ot population
"For several years," says General
Milts. "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

if once adopted, would bo aw piacllu
able for one bundled years as for a

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

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

accomplish the tleshed end." The gov

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

proved n calamity gi eater In cost than
the Civil war.

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.

In obedience to the decision or the
