;nnti ~ 'rae that large proportion of this dim
neo. e ot shipping and ship-building was the
effect OF the war The great destruction of
inercnant vessels by rebel cruisers not only in
duced sales to neutrals, but DISCOURAGED h;,;id-
ing. After the war, however, the SCARCITY n'o Of
American vessels ought to have PRODUCED and
but for redundant currency and high ts 1eu
would have produced activity in our sRip-yards,
and rapid increase of tonnage; but this has
not been the case. The prices Of labor and ma
terials are SO high that ship-building cannot be
made profitable in the United States, and
many of our ship-yards are being practically
transferred to the British Provinces. 1t is on
ly few years since American ships were
sought after, on account of their superiority
and cheapness; and large numbers of vessels
were built in Maine and other States ON for
eign account, or sold to foreigners, while, at the
same time, our own mercantile marine was be-
ing rapidly increased. Now many of our ship
yards are abandoned, and in others very little
activity prevails. Ills true there has recently
been some increase in our foreign tonnage, but
good part of this increase is apparent only.
and is the result of the new rule of admeasure-
ment. 1t is an important truth that
vessels can be built very much cheaper
in the British Provinces than in Maine Nay,

elimination of American Tonnage,

The following extract from Secretary Nc
Culloch's report sets forth very clearly the
present state of things in a department of in
dustry in which Maine is especially interested:
The people of the United States are natural
ly commercial and maritime people, fond of
adventure, bold, enterprising, persistent. Now,
the disagreeable fact must be admitted, that,
with unequaIled facilities for obtaining the
materials, and with acknowledged skill in ship
building-with thousands of miles of sea-coast,
indented with the finest harbors in the world
with surplus products that require in their
expectation a large and increasing tonnage
we can neither prOftably build ships nor sue
cessfully compete with English ships in the
transportation of our own productions. Tween
ty years ago it was anticipated that ere this the
United States would be the first maritime
power in the world. Contrary to our antici-
pations, our foreign commerce has declined
nearly fifty per cent. within the last six years.

the foreign carrying trade which entered Uni
