THE TALKED-oF ALLIANCE.

The much-talked-of alliance with Great
Britain should. If entered into, be well
guarded by limitations. 1t must not be a
| thick-and-thin bargain which would COM
| init us to her contentious with other ma
| tons with which that power might make
war if it had the United States as back
err An alliance which would make it i'm
| possible for the two nations to make war
upon each other and to act together in re-
gard to the general commerce of the world
would be highly beneficial. An alliance
which would give the ships OF each nation
the privileges of coalng and repairing at
the stations of the other and which would
enable both to act together to secure the
best commercial privileges in the markets
of the world would be mutually advan-
tageous. This would be particularly adj
vantageous to both in the future, because
the United States will have many more
ships on the ocean hereafter than it has
had in the past. Our foreign trade is rap
idly increasing, and trade follows the
flag, we are sure in the near future to have
our war ships in every quarter of the globe,
This being the case, it will be to our adj
vantage to have the rights of coaling and
repairing in all of the ports of the British
domain, which girdles the earth. In the
wake of the war ship will follow the mer-
chant ship under the stars and stripes. This
will come now that American yards, under
the protective system, can build as good
ships and as cheaply as any nation in the
world. A commercial alliance which will
and Japan would insure to us fair share
of the trade of the Orient under the best
conditions.
| The United States does not wish an alli-
ance with Great Britain which will make
the other nations of Europe enemies.
Therefore, it should be understood that the
alliance will not be made for purposes of
conquest or for war. Indeed, there seems
no good reason why nations should become
involved in wars that is, nations which have
power and are not decaying by reason of
their inability or refusal to keep in line
with the progress of the world.
| Great Britain has by years of experience
built up the best colonial system in the
world. In that regard it's statesmen have
| learned much since she lost the colonies
| which were the germ of the United States.
In recent years the lands in which England
has planted colonies have prospered to the
mutual advantage of Great Britain and
the colonies. This government seemingly
is not suited to the management of colonial
dependencies at a distance. 1t might be
wise, should the Philippines fall into our
hands, to dispose of them to a power which
will insure us better results than absolute
possession
