We are told by a Lord of the Admiralty who represents a Sheffield division that it is all over with the old Manchester school, and that we have got into new days. I do not belong to the Manchester school. I have nothing to say about the Manchester school except this-that I chanced to write the life of a very important leader of that school. and what did Mr. Cobden say upon this very point? He said:-'I am willing to spend a hundred millions on the fleet if necessary'. The Radical party have never been the party who denied the great proposition that lies at the bottom of British politics-namely, that we must have absolute supremacy at sea.
