Constitution.

trial of right of property. Whoever be the
owner Of the articles seized, nothing but. an
appeal is permitted. b.
9Th. The County pays for the liquor to le

this will not sharpen the wits of some Of these

of me to vote in Its favor 1t is AN act which
violates the theory if not the records of the
Constitution; it bankrupts a lalge portion Of
our people; its punishments are excessive; it
provides for monOpolies; il confels undue
privileges and powers on individuals; it IN
wolves the counties as partners in the liquor
traffis; it permits the rights of the citizen 10
be trampled on by Pres'tDaiag him gully before
trial; it places the hap iness and well being
of the citizen in the hands of the malicious;
it affords none of the customary security
against the tyranny of officials; il changes
the whole system of trials; it DISTINGUISHES
citizens for no crime; in Its essence it is ty-
ranical.

In 1915, when American commerce began
to revive again, after having been almost ut
terly destroyed, first by the embargo and then
by the war, the registered tunnage OF the en-
tire nation amounted to S54, 294 tuns; the
enrolled and licensed to 5l3, 633; the e9rolied
and coasting to 1906 and the licensed
cod fishery to $3.50 At the close of 1853
it had quintupled, the registered tunnase be

and the licensed cod fishery, 100, 227-while
in addition, there had grown up whale

authentic history, did the mercantile marine
increase so rapidly. England, with heT
boosted naval and colonial supremacy pur-
chased by war with Napoleon that cost
eight hundred millions, was not able to ex-
hibit commerce, comparatively as flourish

paid nothing f. 3. II.l.go1. obs III -soal -.
Most of this extraordinary development
has been witnessed within the last ten years.
In 1880. the tunnage Of the country, after :
lapse Of fifteen years, showed but little in
crease. The registered tunnage had actually
declined, having fallen to 576,676, while the
enrolled and licensed had risen but 20 els,

and coasting had increased less than twenty
per cent, being but 5l6, 978 in 1880 AT ih,
end of fifteen years more, that is in lS45
there was, however, a great change. Th,
average tunnage, in fact, had increased nearly
hundred fold. The registered tunnage was

During the forty years between 1915 and
1856, the number of vessels built in the Uni.
ted States, including canal boats, steamers,
sloops, schooners, briggs and ships, and indeed
all descriptions excepting those constructed
for the Federal Government, was thirty mine
thousand and ninety-two. The tonnage OIL
these vessels exceeded five millions and 8

general prosperity. the periods of monetary
depression witnessing the most terrible re-
