AN CHAIN.

Secretary Morton, at a banquet a
few nights since, remarked that this
nation now has in the White House
a President who will see to it that
this nation has the largest navy in
the world. But how long will it re
main the largest navy after it is made
such? Some other nation, viewing
our naval strength with alarm, will
build one a little larger. Another ma
ton will build one still larger, and
then we will have to add a lot more
to our own. Thus the endless chain
will be continued through eternity,
unless the common sense of the peo-
pie ONE to the rescue. Secretary
Morton's statement recalls the story
of the western farmer who wanted
more land SO he could raise more
corn to sell for money with which to
buy more land to raise more corn to
sell for money with which to buy
more land to raise more corn, etc.
