lant Jealous lovers of their country and its flag.
They write me, without exception, that the
navy is in the same ceplorable condition as
ever When look over the expenditures of
the Navy Department find that for the fifteen
months preceding the 1st of October last there
was expended under the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Navy over $39, ,000,000 Why, sir, it
is one-half of what our whole navy is worth
to-day. .-.-
Gentlemen talk abont economy In the Navy.
MY friend from New York on my lett th1r
Chttenden) struck the right key when ne
wanted to know what the Secretary OF the Ma
Wy can do with this money. i contend ne
should use it in our navy yards IN employing
skilled workmen who have served there as ap-
prentices and who are now thrown out OF en-
ployment. But what does he do? He built a
monitor that lies in the Charlestown navy yard
or did lie there, in the district represented by
my friend from Massachusetts, (Mr. Gooch. }
Then what did they do? They put this moni-
tor upon the dry-dock, took off her iron plating
and sheathed her with boards, took out her
twelve engines and her turrets and all her
works and landed them upon the dock and
then towed her hulk to Chester, Pennsylvania.
They are now loading schooners with the
works of that monitor, all mixed up together
in confusion, her engines, her boilers, and her
plating, preparatory to removiHg the whole to
Chester, Pennsylvania. My friend from Maine
knows, or it is known, that the ship.builders OF
Maine make draughts of ships they intend to
build, and from these make molds and get out
their frames and transport them to Maine and
build ships on them. The Secretary of the
Navy does different He sends his materia ais
for building his vessels away from navy yards
having all the materials, tools, and skilled
workmen to build them out to Pennsylvania to
get iron frames for them, when the draughts
and measures of the frames could be sent well,
and with light expense, and the fran es re.
turned at light expense to the place where a II
the materials are on hand to build and furnis b
the ship. It is like a man who, wanting su it
of urderclothing from Chester, should go there
himself instead of sending his measure and
have the clothes sent him. This is the econo-
nv of the navy, ~
