Please tell our pence-loving public what ought to bo done to prepare for war. " "There foenis to be a general Interest now taken in the subject of the national defence , so perhaps a sltnplo suggestion , based upon general principle ? , relative to the relations of the army and the nnvy to each other , and to the coa defenco of the country , may not to unlutcrest ing. " "That will do very nicely , \vhat arc the essential elements of national securitv from tlio military point of view ? " " .A complete defenco ng-ainst invasion by land , or against an attack upon the sea-const of any country , must bo nn active as vcoll as a passive1 defence. An army asspmbled * for the defence of a country against invasion , would fall far short of its minion if iits action were limited to the repulse of assaults made upon its various positions bv the enemy , It should bo prepared at the proper moment to deal nn effective and crushing blow against tbe enernv's forces. Tn like manner , nn ellective defenco of a seacoast - coast must bo both passive fund active. Not only must the defenco be prepared to resist'anj * attack by the enemy upon any and everv important part of a seacoast - coast , but it must al.-o bo prepared to attack the enemy's ngprepsivo forces. From tbo nature of the e.i-e , the actior of the army , with its fortifications and armament , must be limited strictly to the defensive , while the role ol the navj must be the far more active oneof poinjf forth upon the broad sea to attack an ) hostile fleet .that may approach the country's shores , To employ the navj fn general for the passive defence , whiU such defence mijht bo elleetive , woulc bo impracticable , becaus-o of tlio enormous cost of providing sueh n means of defence for every point of attack , " "But if weconnot nllord enoug-h of a navy to guard the whole coast at once 'wha't inoro economical plan is there which will serve the-sameendV" "Tho passive defenco rnu : > t bo left entirely to shore batterie.- , with the auxiliary means of defence provided b.\ modern science , supplemented in some few cases by floating batteries , or coat- defence vessels , to occupy placets where suitable foundations cannot bo obtainei for the necessary batteries on eolii ground. But such co'i t-defenco vessels ought not on any account to be con founded with the sea-going battle-ship * which are the indUpen&able means of at active defence. Each sen-coast of the United States , for example , should bo provided with a sea-going fleet of battle bhips , capable of attacking with meess any foreign fleet that may probably cross the ocean for the purpo-o of block ading any one of our great sea-ports ; while , on the other hand , everv impor tant soil-port should bo fortified and armed that it can maintain its own defence until the fleet can cotno from any'Other point , however distant , to take up its important role of attack upon the enemy's licet. " "That disposes pretty effectually of the vexed question , whether wo need battle-ships or not. The legislators who maintain that we can do without them , because wo have no need for any but defensive engines of war , seem to be mistaken. IJut what Of the people who would deny the importance of the whole matter , and think that wo shall do well enough without oven any do- fences1 "It is manifest that the army and the nnw have their important functions to perform in the defence of the sea-coast , tbat neither of their functions can be performed by the other , and that their harmonious action is indir-pensible to the complete defence of the coasts of the United States a gainst nnv serious menace of foreign attack. If the hope bo in dulged that this great country will never bo exjiosed to such a menace , the one sure means byyhich that hojw may bo certainly realized must ba in such preparation as will render success in a foreign attack hopelcas. Such prepara tion being ; made , this country may go forward in the devclopement of its re sources , and prosecution of its schemes for foreign trade and commerce , without fear of interruption , founded upon either the malice or self-interest of foreign countries. These suggestions are of course separate and distinct from the considerations that dictate the necessary provisions for effective cruisers to maintain the honor of the national Jlag and protect its commerce and its citizens in all parts of the world. " "Suppose you give mo some general idea of what is tha actual need of u coun try like ours with respect to IN military and naval forces. Can you tell me in round numlwrs what the size of our fighting force should bo ? " "The preoise btrength nnd character of the nnvnl force which may be required for the defence of the United SUites may bo not easy to estimate ; but fortu nately the requisite land defences nnd their garrisons yo susceptible of very accurate calculation. The nature of the defensive works and of their armament has in general tennsbecn determined by competent boards ; while the necessary garrisons have Inien determined with even grantor nc"ur cy. The aggregate artillerv garrisons required for all the fortified plaevs on the boa nnd tlie gulf coasts of the United States will amount in time of war to 85,000 men. Of these it is proposed that 75,000 shall bo drawn from the militia of the seaboard states , and about 10,000 shall be the quota of the rpgulnr army. For the ctiro of the e fortic-itioiH and their armaments during time of peacu , and for the Inslriie- tion of the MXi-wast millt L , it i * estimated that only 6,000 nu'n , organized into seven resrimentei , will be requisite. " "That does not seotn , to ina at l at , very extnivmrnnt , " "No. In otlior words , it is proposed to keep in this service in timu of jM ct only oiii'-soventeenth of the war g rri- bims.

Until the yar 1SS3 , when the Sojjoni railway , the 'Mexican feeder of the Santa Fe , was completed , western Mvxico lind no place on the inajiB of American exporters. The market was tributary in its entirety to Europe. Since then 60 per cent of this trade hns 1yen diverted to the "United Statn ? , The Santa Fe railro.id conceived the ide-a thut by introducing the Mexican merchants to American wholesalers and exporters and acquainting them with Amcriiatn ijroducls ; manufactures and prices , at least three-fourths of the roimiiniug 60 per cent ol European bu > ines inlglit be faccured for the United St. U' > . with cor- res ] ondinL' ndvnniage to tbo railroad. The result will i-m-nassaU expectations of meml > ers of the delegation are an in dication. That Chicago will henceforth bo tlio sunplv depot nnd purchasing point for western Mexico is their unanimous opinion. They cnme hero as s-trangors ; the Chicago market was an unexplored land to them. It lias been a matter of course to buy certain lines of goods in Europe and American exporters have likewise held to the opinion heretofore. that they could not compete with Europe in certain direction ? o\vmg to the high iiexican tariff. That these conclusions were based on falo promises lias been fully demonstrated this \yuek to the sat isfaction of bolh parties in inter.-'st. . American commercial travelers have seldom visitedihe cities of the states of rfonora and Chihuahua. These mer chants during their stay in Chicago have not only purdmied heavily , but have earnestly requested that representatives of certain houses ; bo sent to them next fall. Sp nkinp of the particular lines of goods which it has been discovered can be imported more cheaply from this ? countrv than from Euroue , a member of the delegation said : "Our furniture has always come wholly from Europe. That most in use is the rattan from Vienna.Ve have pur chased some furniture here entirely new to us and surprisingly pleasing in style. AVe have heretofore" had no conception of what furniture really is in this day nnd generation , and how cheaply it caii bo bought " \Vo have purchased n great many carriage-guild.buggies this week in Chi cago. "lut ! it is in the line of hardware that wo have made the most important dis eoveries. "We have seen many articles ' of hardware that our ] > coplo h'avo never known and that the Kuropwm exporters have never offered to us. There nre n thousand little things in household goods and kitchen ware familiar to American hoaies which wo have not seen until now. In the line of lumps wo wore greatly astonished-wceustomed as wo have been to the plainest and most inelegant articled of that kind. ' Therois but one line of goods which we find wo cannot buy to advantage hore. That is a certain vnriery of glassware and crockery , a cheap grade ol whicn is not niamifae"tured in this countrv. Our tariff schedule is arranged on a basis of weight largely , and thLs light , cheap glass nnd crockery comes in from Europe at sv low rate of duty and is in general use with us. Mr. Pitlun of Pitkln & Brooks told us that ho imported it from Europe at n higher rate of duty than wo pay , and lie admitted that he could not compete with European prices in that line.
