DEAR SrR-As Yen well know the bill for the relief
OF the shipbuilding interest by drawback on dut
able articles entering Into the construction OF new
ships has been brought up IN Congress- tabled and
the matter virtually ended and the hope Of renewing
our commercial marine and bringing Il up to its
former standard Is about abandoned. Under the
present unfair system Of taxation the prices of mate
rial and labor for shpbulding and other mechanical
industries cannot be rejuc ed until fair play Is given
by an equality Of taxation all property and par
ticusry In taxing government bonds, and 1t Is de-
fusion 70 expect general revival OF businese until
this Is Done.
The enterprise OF tire United States In commerce
heretofore 80 largely prevailing and known the
world over, s fast fading away. Many OF our former
large ship owners, and some OF them were my Gus
TONER'S tell me they prefer to invest their money In
government securities, which are exempt from tag
alton, and thus receive better rate Of interest for
the year through than from ap investment of an
equal amount In commercial property subject to tax
alton. The people are constantly nattering. them
selves that some miraculous change for the better
VIII take place IN mechanical industries,
but cannot say how or when IL win take
place. MY opinion Will occur when
an equality In taxation takes place; tax government
bonds as other property and "better tlmesn would
soon follow. Judging from my intimate knowledge
OF .he voice Of the mechanical classes in my employ
and employed In this vicinity men OF stability and
intelligence, both home and foreign born republi-
cans and democrats, are a unit on the eroect Of
having equal taxation. and say they are determined
at the next election TO support the party platform
equalizinG Justly the burden OF taxation. Tie edi-
tors Of some of our papers, noticed were surprised
recently st the mention In Congress OF the taxing OF
the interest on bonds, saying It was against the will
OF the people," II these editors would visit my
premises and the immediate vicinity would be
happy to introduce them In several hours to over
one thousand workmen mechanics and laborers
and with the exception Of about one ia q hundred
they determined 10 vote for the party at the next
election that adopts taxation OF bonds equally with
other property, and the party doing this will obtain
the support OF the oppressed working classes Of this
country. In my opinion the CRY Of party IL fast
