an anomaly in the relations of two friendly nations lor which there is no l il elsewhere The principle that the citizens of one power may at pleasure make war upon an other is too absurd for argument

may as well be understood that in the event of a war it would not be England that would get the worst of it Thin the point to which I am anxious to direct the attention of the men at both of the avenue in Washington The point is the amazing fact that the British navy is pro portionately so very much cheaper than the American navy and incomparably more efficient for ship How does this happen It does not arise from the fact that the compensation paid to officers and men in the British service is less than that given in the American navy The pay of the British officers is at least as high as that of the American line and there not I believe a very great difference in the pay of the men For the pay of the men and boys in the British navy this year the sum of 2692731 has been voted This an average of a little more than for each man and hoy A firstclass seaman in the American navy gets per year firstclass firemenjfc ordinary seamen lands- men and boys from to per year The average can scarcely be more than is paid in the British navy and when the superior purchasing power of the money in which the British sailor is paid and the greater cheapness of bis clothing are taken it will be found that he is miserable as they are cost for each one in commission while the ships magnificent as they are are for a each Where are the leaks in your Navy Department through which run
