y4VAL RESERVE PROGRESS.

Great Britain is beginning TO suffer some dis
oulet because OF the unexpected development
of one Of her own inveniOns-tO Wit. the Naval
Reserve 1t Is now about dozen years since
her Admiralty adopted the plan OF subsidizlng
fast merchant steamers. with a view to the use
of them as auxlaries to the navy In time OF
war. The scheme was plausible one. The
..greyhounds Of the Atlantic" 1t was thought,
would be Of inestimable service as transport
ships. and even. perhaps. as commerce-destroy-
ing cruisers. for they were swift enough to AVOID
all men-of.war and could carry guns heavy
enough to master any merchant vessel when
they might overhaul. The steamship companies
naturally accepted the plan with gladness
marked impulse was given TO the building or
swift ships. and all went merry as a marriage
bell-for a time. But presently other maritime
nations adopted the same plan. and entered into
connection with the British liners for speed.
Then trouble for the British Admiralty began.
In 1880 practically all the very fast merchant
ships Of the world were under the British nag.
In 1885. when the Naval Reserve system was
devised, fully twO-thirds OF them were ny
1889. however conditions had radically changed.
So many fast ships had been built by other ma
lions that their numbers almost equaled those
Of Great Britain Nor did the change stop there.
The other nations kept on building fast ships,
while some British lines dropped ont of the
competition. At present there are at command
of the British Admiralty only about one-fourth
Of the very fast merchant ships Of the world
II we reckon as very fast only those Of 10 knots
or more. we find Fl Of them afioat. Or these
Great Britain has 6. Germany ). France 4. Rus
sia and the United States 4. Great Britain
has. therefore, only 6, to Is under other dags
No wonder the British advocates OF the Naval
Reserve system ale feeling a trhe anxious.
How this has come about Is partly to be ex-
plained by the record Of the transatlantic lines,
which possess practically all the ships OF the
first class in speed. Only few years-agO there
were five hrst-class lines all under the British
flag OF these ive one has been discontinued,
one has been transferred TO the American nag
and one has given up trying to run very fast
shps. Only two are left. one Of which has two
fast ships and the other four; and ii Is said the
Inter has found the racers so Improbable that
II will build no more Of them. At the same time
Germany has developed two lines Of the first
class the French Line has made equal progress
and the new American Line is second to none.
Thus there are only two frst-cass British lines
10 four under other flags. That does not, Of
course, mean the collapse OF British trade or Of
the British Navy. But II does convncingly in
dictate that no one nation can have O monopoly
of progress in any direction Some high naval
authorities doubt the value OF the Naval Re-
serve system But IL 1t have any value, America
and the Continental Powers bid fair to get as
much out of II as Great Britain.

4 GOOD IDEA.

Following the announcement thar the Ways
and Means Committee OF the House Of Repre-
sen,atiyas will give hearings on and after De
cember % to such persons a. may wish To DIS
cuss the various schedules OF the proposed tariff
bill the suggestion is made that inasmuch as
manufacturers will certainly attend. consumers
should also lr present 10 represent THE other
side" An organization for this purpose is talked
OF. likewise public meeting and subscription
for the employment OF counsel or TO defray the
expenses Of economists who would he on hand
10 enllghten the committee. If possible. and at
any rate TO stand up for the interests Of the
whole country.
This IS an engaging proposition. but there i
one precaut0n which the promoters OF the
scheme should adopt AT the outset. In arrang-
ing 10 defray the expenses Of Economists they
should discriminate rigidly against economists
who have established "A record for knowing
multitude OF things that are not so. Under this
rule Of prudence all the economists who were
absolutely certain that the tariff act Of ls:W oc-
casonally referred to as the Mckinley act. was
going to ruin the country Will have TO be cx-
cluded, together with those who positively knew
that the Wilson bill would produce an ample
revenue and other incalcul,bc blessings. Ii
will also be highly desirable to exclude the
economists" who spent all their time for many
moons in promugatng the automatic truth that
tinplate could not by any conceivable possibility
be manufactured in this country-that the will
OF the Almighty. operating through the laws of
Nature. prohibited the establishment of that in
dusry In the United States. When all these
have been discarded 1t is possible that there may
not be any Economists left TO wait upon the
committee and stand up for the whole country.
and consequently there may be no need Of a
subscription list; but It Is not improbable that.
90 soon az the economists were known TO he
out OF the way. a respectable delegation Of CON
sumers who are not economists would agree
TO appear before the committee at their own cx-
pense In that case some views worthy Of at
tention would doubtless be presented. and the
interesting suggestion TO which. with these mod
ifcations. we give our cheerful support. might
be expected to bear good fruit
