all right. : Wa" ~
mr.: PRESIDENT, am in favor of charging our
shlppmg, and am willing to-day to do what
Tue governments OF Europe are doing. say to
a. ON Amerlcan company that is chartered,
where ever on earth you can buy the best
steamers do so, and we will Nationalist them

Austria does it; it is done all over Europe.
would say to them, $50 wherever you can
buy the cheapest and best steamers for our
foreign traffic." but l would not natur llize
a single ton or pound OF that shipping TO
enter into competition with our domestic and
internal trade.
Let us have the very best models that the
world can produce; but "no," say the Sena-
tors from Maine, and so they have been say
ing for thirte en- years, abandon everything IN
the shape of protection, but do protect u.s..
The shipbuiders OF Maine know as well as
everybody else that they cannot, paying tour
dollars day for labor that in England costs
but four shiilings and in France but tour
francs, compete with England and France.
They understand that very well, and this is
simply fraud on its face. 1t is TO build ships
for the home traffic, to get drawback up.
on your domestic commerce that is already
an absolute monopoly. Notwithstanding the
source of all wisdom and knowledge, the Sen
ator from Maine. asserts to the contrary, 1 saw
that tais is fraud. and hope that it will not
be printed by the Senate.
lie says that our commerce has declined.
IL mas; but there are other reasons for the de-
cline than the change from wooden to iron
ships. They are to-day breaking up ships
only four years old, because they are unfit for
the traffic; but ii you pay them premium
enough toey can run those tubs 1t will be
better, sir, to adopt wiser policy. Let us
purchase abroad models for the manufacture
OF vessels for our domestic commerce. and let
our shipbuilders learn the art of building iron
age.
Again, the railroads of the country have
changed the amount OF tonnage very consid-
erably. Millions of tons of commerce that
formerly went down our rivers and around
our coast, are now carried by the railroads.
There are other causes besides the decline in
trade to account tor the existing condition oil
things. As many ships will be built as it is
profitable to build, and no more. If there
are more than are profitable, capital will seek
some other outlet.
The result of the discussion was that the
Senate ordered the extra copies of the report
to be printed.

The papers that talk about the execution
of Lawrence, the Bangor murderer, next
month, are probably not ignorant Of the fact
that year must elapse after conviction be-
can be issued. There have been so many
homicides in Maine, since the execution Of
Harris, that they are probably not able to
keep them all in mind, and have COMPOUNDED
Lawrence with Hoaoard Cleveland, the MUIR
derer Of Warren George. The conviction Of
Cleveland took place, if we are not mistaken,
year ago, though we do not feel bound to
perfect accuracy in these matters, when a
single county furnished two cases of murder
in the first degree in single year.

AcTs AND RESOLVES OF THE FORTY
NINTH LEG1sLATURE.-On another page
will be found list of all the enactments of
the Legislature. In our general review of the
work of the session the other day, we omitted
to mention that the very important act pro-
viding for the formation of corporations was
finally passed. We printed this bill when it
was first introduced, and our readers may re-
member that its provisions are such as to rem
der unnecessary large amount of special
legislation. Corporations can now be formed
without special act of the Legislature. This
is something to be grateful for, but the thanks
of the people would have been more fervent
if some one had devised a general measure
regulating the extension of wharves into tide
waters, the building Of fish weirs, the protec-
ton of fish in all the ponds, the use of ''broad-
trimmed wheels" in Cherry6eld and other
towns, the final reconstruction of the porgie,
and the change of John Smiths name.

A Fraud upon Housekeepers.

A Fraud upon HOusekeepers.
The success attending the sale Of Pyle's Dietitic
Saleratus during the past ten years. has made it
staple article. that is sold about close -four
sugar. But among the grocerymen there are those
who resort to very disreputable means to dissuade
their customers from the of this celebrated
ticle, ZOE the purpose Of supplying something cheap
er, from which they derive larger profit. House
keepers do themselves great injustice by submitting
to such imposition, and incur the risk Of consuming
unwholesoms II not dangerous material, which,
though pleasing to the eye, may BE- very unfit to
enter into our daily Bread. r
Pyle's Saleratus is always put up in pound pack
ages, and Il ey that persist in getting 1t will never
have occasion to regret the effort. All First Class
