The following article, which. we copy from mum
Der Of the Paris "Presss," received by the Acadia
demonstrates most eoneusiyely that the mercantile
navy Of France is in languisbing condition. We
were aware that its tonnage had not been increased
for several years, but we had no idea that such q
diminuion in IT, particularly that employed IN the
hsheries had TRANSFERRED since 1889 as seems to have
been experienced.
The navigation interest Of the United States Is
larger than that Of any power In the w0dd, sx-
cept Great Britain. Ii it continues TO augment,
as it undoubtedly win in much more rapid ratio
Under modified tariff, in 1880 il probably-we be-

capacity Of vessels carry whether il is not now
