ENGLISH COMMENT ON THE TRIP.
LONDON, April 20.-The Standard says
that President Harrison's utterances have
the Rule BRITANNIA air which betray his
parentage, and are by no means unpleasant
TO the English ear, but that they are a con-
fession of failure. At the last elections home
protection was all sufficient for the repub-
licans, but now foreign markets must be
opened.
In regard to the recent utterances of Presi-
dent Harrison, the Telegraph says: We
heartily welcome an American rivalry that
will enable us to see them and 60 them one
better. The relations between England and
America have been so prominently cordial
that we are almost justified in treating the
proposed fleet as an auxiliary to our own,
to which we should be able to depute the
task of patrolling the Atlantic to protect
all English-speaking commerce in the event
Of war with any European power.
