AUXILIARY NAVAL FORCE.

AN interesting statement has Just
been compiled by the navy department
which shows the number of mer-
chant ships available for transportation
or cruiser duty in time of war.
1t shows that so vessels could be used
as transports and 45 could be fitted with
light batteries and do effective duty as
cruisers, most of these vessels being on
the Atlantic coast. Subsidies are granted
to vessels inspected for this purpose
and when the inspection is completed
the vessel is rated as belonging either to
the cruiser or one Of the four transport
classes. The department estimates that
in case OF war the United States oould
send an immense force to any foreign
country ON board these vessels. At
least 100000 men could go in the
transports alone, and the cruisers, on
account of their size, would accommo-
date almost as many.
Slowly but surely Uncle Sans naval
power is increasing, and we have this
advantage shat all of our serviceable
vessels to-day are of modern type, while
the vast navies of Europe contain many
vessels Of obsolete form and type.

drink. The pretended argument Of
the opposition to the filtration plan
is on the ground of economy--as if
economy of money was to be considered
for "a moment when the health of the
people Of the city of Providence was in
the balance!
That, however, is not the real motive
of the opposition. The cry for economy
is only yap.
AS matter of fact nothing should
stand in the way Of the filtration scheme
and nothing will stand in its way. 1t is
practical and efficient. IL will save life.

both historical, statistical and argu.
mentative. The facts in the case are of
themselves an incontrovertible argu-
ment.
The News is not the only newspaper
to point out the evil. Both its contem-
poraries have done so, as quotations
from their columns show. But neither

MIR. REEDS PLAN.

Ex-Speaker Reed yesterday, through
The Fortnightly Review, communicated
his views on the silver question. Ks
heretofore Mr.. Reed has preserved strict
silence upon the silver question, his
views were not a little sought after in
the face of the fact that ne is an avowed
candidate for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination in '96.
Accordingly this interview assumes an
importance which is added to by his
position as leader of the Republicans in
the House.
THE News regrets that Mr.. Reed pos
sesses the views he has thus presented,
because it does not believe that his So
luton is wise, practical or in keeping
with Republican policy. Mr.. Reed says
in this interview:
"One thing at least I have learned
since the cessation of silver purchases
last year-that cheap silver is an effec-
tive stimulus to Asiatic exports, and
this being the case we have got to con-
slider silver and the tariff-not as two is
sues, but as one. 1t is evidently no
time 10 lower our tariffs when the cur
rency Of seven hundred millions Of ORR
entails is depreciating and their export
ing powers to gold-using nations is
thereby increased.
The fall in silver, its value to pay
wages and to buy products in India and
China being as great as ever--this it is
that makes the silver question an issue
that we are forced to face. You recog-
nize, OF course, that the position has en-
tlreiy changed in the past six months. |
The previous enormous compulsory |
purchase of silver, most |
vicious proceeding, went far to confuse
mems minds, and to disguise the fact |
hat there really is, in the background, q
serious currency problem to be solved"
He would solve it in this way. quot
ng from his interview:
''If the Indian crisis does not force
England quickly into larger monetary
lnion with silver-using nations, which
lnion we will gladly join, then there
nay come a time for the nations friend
y -bimetaiisn- to unite, not IN
monetary union, but tariff union
eciprocity being the reward of free
oinage Of silver. This should be ou-
olicy."
The silver question is big question,
nd the entire nation recognizes its i'm
ortance, but the only remedy that is
ractical according to those who, unlike
lr. Reed, have made the question a
Judy for years is by international
greement, and any attempt to solve it
y combining it with the tariff will
leet with disaster.
Mr.. Reed makes high bid for West
IN support, but, as our news columns
now today, his solution is not accept
bic even to the extreme silver men.
Extended discussion until the matter
as been thoroughly examined is inn
ossible, but the Objectionable features
his plan are too many and too appar-
ut not to meet with disapproval.
Mr.. Reeds first move toward the
residency in 1896 is distinctly a blum
or, which no ono regrets more than
HE NEws, which has regarded him as
prominent candidate i'm the next Presi-
,ntial nomi nation contest.
