has been killed off by Congressional
enactments, which kill off carpenters
work, blacksmiths, cordage men, &c. i,
by the hundred. To add to this Con-
gressional fatuity, Congress put a
heavy duty on ship timber from Cana
da and the provinces, whore ships
can now be built for about half the
price they can be built for here. Ma
