ORR NAVAL POLICY.

II there We're good reason TO believe
that the policy Of using our national navy
for the principal purpose Of assisting in
the oppression of neighboring peoples
struggling against frightiul despOtisms for
their freedom, we should be opposed both
to an increase Of its force, and in favor Of
Withholding all appropriations for its sup
port 1t Were better to let the last of our
ships rot at its dock than TO use it TO fasten
thechains OF European slavery forever upon
the bleeding limbs of an American commu-
nifty. But we are hopeful that such
policy is nearing its wnetched end; that
new era OF American humanity and honor
isabout TO dawn, and hence we arc for the
navy, and more OF it.
IL has been noted that. before the new
navy was begun. the British flagship on
the North Atlantic station, the Belerophon,
although already an old affair. was
better fighting vessel than anything we
could boast; but that. with every warship
we have since evolved, England has come
to the front in these waters with something
new. splendid and supposed to be equally
as good. if not better If the obvious in
ference from this is that Great Britain
always expects and means to be on terms
OF brotherly love with her dear cousins over
here. and never to do anything to Us save
only before an arbitration court. then there
is nothing more TO be remarked on that
score, except to quote Mrs. Camps saying
that them which is Of other naturs thinks
different"
Aside from any queStion OF defense involv-
Ell in our naval progress, the great scheme
tnaugurated by Secret airy Whitney has had
the effect to revive our then paralyzed
shpbunding industry, to develop our latent
ability to produce the best steel and com
posite arnor, the best guns and equipment
IN the world, and 10 teach that, under
the future possibility OF an American adj
ministration free from European control,
the United States may be a nation TO be
respected, and, on occasion, TO be feared.
1t is d serious committal to indulge in
80 much in advance OF the fact, but we
really do entertain the hope that we shall
live to see such an administration aud TO
see it leading the country in an effort 10
restore the cid Hberty-loving and Anglo
Saxon fighting character OF Uncle Sam.
