One Of tie mo t important qucetions
before the country at the present time
is that Of cheap transportation, and
several bills are before Congress for
new canals and improvements in those
already built, all having for thei object
a cheap rate for the transportation Of
commodities from one section Of the
country 10 another. Railroads and
water courses are the arteries which
carry the life blood Of the nation. The
more Of these we have the greater will
be the growth and prosperity Of the
country Water communics ton is by
FAR the cheapest, but in this climate
can be open only portion OF the wear.
The great natural water communication
bet veen the east and west is by way
of the lakes aud 1T. Lawrence river
aided by canals round Niagara falls and
! from Champlain and Erie to the Hudson
All that is necessary 10 make this sys
ten complete is an enlargement Of the
different canals aud the construction OF
one or two new ones which can be
done without very large outlay OF
money. The Canadian government are
already moving in the matter and are
evidently prepared TO do their share of
the work. When their work is done
vessels oflarge size can run from Mon
treal to the upper lakes, which will
make that city the great depot for the
export trade in grain and other produce
unless enlarged communication is made
/ between the 81. Lawrence and Cham
plain and the Hudson New York has
CAST appropriated $500 coo for the en.
Iargcmeat Of the Champlaiu canal
which il enough TO make a beginning
/ IL has been decided that tho Erie canal
caua.t be enlarged 20 the required
capacity ou account Of the scarcity Of
water at the highest point Hence we
conclude that IT is Fixed that the great
highway between the east and west

ton Of his enterprises? And would it not be q
wise outlay to spend enough money on our
navy to give our merchants just such con-
fdence in its efficacy for their defence as
English merchants feel in the English navy?
But Mr.. Fernando Wood believes he can
'improvise in three weeks navy ''capable
Of coping with the combined fleets of
Europe" How useless it must be, then, to
keep up an old navy when a new one
can be had so easily and so soon
Economic to death. therefore, the navy we
have, especially as ''No more taxes I" is good
cry for hard times though when we consider
that, as our taxes are now gathered, they
come from the rich, and as our economy is
applied to sailors and workmen in the navy
yards it is burdensome to the poor, perhaps
the cry of mo taxes" is scarcely so good
as some of our Congressional demagogues
fancied
Had war come, as it lately threatened, those
who have opposed the navy and uselessly
squandered the money that should have main
tanned it would have stood condemned before
public opinion though this would have been
a sorry consolation, with our securities depre-
ciated, our millions of import revenue lost
and our cities laid under contribution by the
enemy. And all this for the want of q navy
that should be the defence of the nation
against the world in arms

ACCIDENTAL PovERTY.-Among the greatest
sufferers in the present season OF distress are
the accidental poor, those who by no fault of
their own ore thrown out of work and find it
impossible to obtain other employment. The
story of Stoniman, told by one of our reporters,
is unfortunately, only q representative case.
Thousands of men willing to work are at this
moment suffering the pangs of hunger because
they can find no employment. 1t shows also
the necessity of reform in the organization of
our charities The large sums so literally coa-
tributed by the people ought to place it within
the power of the poor to obtain at least little
food and shelter daily.

ANNIE STEWARDS SToRY.-What a comment
rs furnished on the value Of our civilization by
the story OF the poor milliner wandering
homeless and foodless through the busy
streets OF this great city, surrounded by all
that makes life worth having, and yet unable
to obtain crust of bread to sustain life or
shelter from the fierce storm What wonder
that poor helpless creature, looking out on
the cherries prospect, should desire to be
anywhere out Of the world" the cold, un-
feeling brutal world that tramples over the
children of misfortune, crushing them merci-
lessly to the earth, in the unceasing rush to
the common goal, the grave, where rich and
poor shall meet in equality at last !

Skeleton Iron-Clads-How We May
Secure an Emcient Navy.

The simplest, most effective and most mex
pensive method by which we can increase our
naval strength and put ourselves more nearly
upon an equality on the seas with the leading
European Powers, is by building number of
iron-clads in skeleton, and keeping them on the
stocks in our navy yards, ready to be finished
when the necessity arises The advantages of
this policy so self-evident that it is only nee
essary to advance the proposition to insure its
general approval and acceptance. We must
keep our navy yards up to certain degree of
efficiency under any circumstances, and the
employment Of the force in building the pro-
posed skeletons would really economic labor
and insure us skilled and practised workmen.
We must have the material on hand, whether
we are likely to need ships or not, and by
working it up in this manner we should lose
nothing by decay, while we should be in
position to get ready for active service as
powerful feet of vessels as we might re-
quire in about one-third of the time that
would be consumed if we had to commence
building the hull.
There is but little difference of opinion as
to the necessity Of an increase Of our naval
force. AS one of the great Powers of the
world we must place ourselves on an equal foot
ing with other great nations if we would
preserve our position, command respect and
insure peace. There is no better safeguard
against war than the known ability to wage
war successfully. The cry of economy and
the fear of heavy expenditures alone interfere
with that wise policy, which would be
more effective than the shrewdest
diplomacy in averting the unpleasant
complications with foreign governments
which have from time to time given us SO
much annoyance. The only strength which
is of real benefit to us in our standing with
European nations is naval strength. Our
power on the seas must be recognized and
respected, or we might as well have no power
at all. The proposition for a strong skeleton
iron-clad navy satisfactorily meets the diff
Guilty, because our condition would be known
abroad, and our recognized ability to launch
fleet equal to any emergency at very short
notice would be as valuable to us as would
the presence of American war vessels in every
port in the world. Besides there would be
practical economy in the policy. We should
make some outlay in time Of peace but the
sinking of the money would be more than
compensated by the saving we should effect if
we should be driven into war, when the cost
of labor and material would be largely
increased.
