One thing more in the way of legisla-
ton is very much needed to increase
the nations prosperity. and that is the
restoration of our merchant marine in
the foreign trade. This can only be
done by applying to that trade the
same system of protection that has
brought such glorious results in our
coastwise shipping and domestic indus
tries. This enormous growth of trade
and population since the war has been
due to protective tariff. The one i'm
portant industry not protected is that
of shipping engaged in the foreign
trade. 1t has declined steadily, as any
other industry open to foreign COM
petition would have done. There was
no tin plate industry in the United
states until il was given protection.
Steel rails, wire nails, silk and numer-
Gus other industries have been built up
in the same way. But our shipowners
engaged in the foreign trade have been
left to contend with the worst kind Of
foreign competition, and of course.
they have succumbed. The result is
that the nation is paying hundreds of
millions of dollars every year to for
eigners to carry our goods. When that
is stopped and the United States has
its fair share oc that trade with the
consequent new markets that 1t will
bring, We may expect the greatest pros
perity the nation has ever known. We
should not be content until that point
has been reached.

Army Needs.

Three men whose recommendation
deserve consideration have within Il
fortnight gone on record in favor of an
increased regular army. Major Gem

our permanent military force should be
at least $4,000 strong; Adjutant General
COrbn argues for an increase, although
he mentions no limit; and, finally. the
major general commanding rcnews his

All parts Of the country are sharing
in this increase, but particularly the
Middle States and the West. And yet
the nation is just entering its period Of
greatest activity and prosperity. The
cloud that has hung over the land be-
cause of the attack on our sound money
system and the protective tariff was
only partly removed by the election of
President Mckinley. But the election
last week of a congress Republican in
both branches has dlspelled the shadow
and sound money and protective
tariff are assured for many wears to
come. This means a more rapid indus
trial growth, which will be accelerated
when the questions growing out of the
war are settled, and trade opened on
permanent lines with the nations new
possessions. 1t takes considerable time
to recover fully from the blight OF
Democratic rule and Democratic at
tacks on sound money and protective
tariff. but the trade statistics show
that the nation is now rapidly recover

of prosperity where it was when the

proved a calamity greater in cost than
