THE MERCHANT MARINE AND NAVY.

The declaration OF the Republican platform in
favor of the upholding of our merchant marine has
NV hearty approval. The policy of discriminating
duties In favor of our shipping which prevailed IN
the early years of history, should be again
promptly adopted by Congress and vigorously sup
ported until our prestige and supremacy on the
seas are fully attained. We should no longer con-
tribute directly or indirectly to the maintenance OF
the colossal marine of foreign countries but pro-
vide an efficient and complete marine of our own.
now that the American Navy is assuming posi-
tion commensurate with our importance as Ma
