Mr. John CCchraae, Representative from

unveraality aud the Importance OF com

more extensive shore line than any other
country, with an unequallcd number Of ac-
ccsibe and comm0dious harbors, and pro.
diyous extent of interior communication
with each, commerce springs armed from the
very earth, and takes it, way over every sea.
We are peculiarly a commercial people. Tie
signal for our Revolution arose from com.
merce. The war of 1912 originated in it
and never will foreign invasion again thres-
ten Jut through violence offered to our COM
mercal marine. To protect this commerce
Government should diligently sci itself about

The duty Of our Government is to encourage
commerce, to establish commerce, to iiiIbustCr

of Great Britain and France. Let il emrow

Municipal Governments,

The New Orleans Bulletin, Of late date,
in an article on the riot and law lessness now
prevailing in the large cities attributes it to
the lodging of power in tho hands Of irres-

endowed with political power to DO evil. Is

Justly entitled by every principle Of right?
Are not elections virtually decided by those
who contribute scarcely anything to nunici-
