It i perfectly unscossary at this time of day to urgo the former of these considerations. Not many weeks have passed since the Queen open- cd Parliament with an announcement that the lessons of military experïonce afforded by the present war are numerous and important; and Tha tivas appears appropriate for turning endh lessons. to account by efforts more decisice then heretofore at practical improvements" The prudence and patriotism of the Legisla ture were involted in favor of the duaroidable cost of such efforts. And than followed tha well-remembered specalion of Mr. Love and Mr. Cardwell, in which the mesensity of im proved arrusmonts, as a mere measure of in Gurance nod économy, whe merged in a spirit which gratified the whole country. And then, few weeks afterwards, there being no inva sion in the meantime, the Everlasting Pesce and Untlinebing Economy men began to raise their voices in the Flouse of Commons, derous eing a golem of expenditure which in fact waN little better than a covert mcase of restoring the ravages of falàe econorig in previous years. And then Ministers began to listen to these infatuated porsons. And then it appeared that na for realty, strangihening the army, as for any large and thorough plan of reargant sation, the Adovinistration had no beart for it,hong to travelling merchant. na mapacity for it.

But beyond the question, What the Minister ment to do, les aucther,What they will be able to do. This is a very serious one. If the Bill Fasece, the country must add to its military expenditure unknown millions of money; and these millions will not give a mIGI or a go to the real atrength of the army. Moreover, this money is to be raised by anzual tuxation,entoulated next year, for instance, at £1,200,000. Other obligations, as we know already, will make the taxation of the year very onerous. It seems, then, that not only does the abolition of the purchase system stand in Liva of all substantial addition to the efficiency of the Army at present, bat it will establish a bar against any smak substantial improvement in fature. There will be no money for any such purpose. The ery againes our exceneige military expenditure which aiready exista, and which we.beard eron.in the midst of our. brave resolutions of four months eince, will Undersigned having this day estored be rendered doubly poignant, doubly effective, by the addition of two millions a year for the aboltios of purchase and the cost of some.xer cessary retirement scheme. What likelihood is there, then, that an economical party, filled with the British pargaution that Providence can never really mean to allow us to be bastón by uncommercial foreignere, will consent to

The Dook ups par point of view) of rejecting and rebuking dry to the Blocks and is pumped out by Steam half-and-half legislation in general, The bill deserves to be cast out because of the false pre. tences upon which it is based, because of the|| abant of which it is the outsomie. But more Babatantial reasons ars to be found in onnaider- ations of economy. As we have before insistad, tes or twelve millions "of money, taken at a point at which taxation has become very bur. densome, is too not for the indulgence of a Half-comprelienfed idea of reform, uslem we are prepared to spend still more upon the actual wante of the army. If the Duke of Biokmond's motion is carried, the bill can hardly be sent hack next year apart from the general plan of which is is said to be a portion. And when we ass the scheme all together, and what this sad that will cost, then will be the time to say what shall be done about the abolition of purchase.
